Is there an easy way to determine how many grab bags you have done already? It kinda sucks counting each out one by one to see how many fight you still need to do.

Can probably do something like ctrl-f and then '250k', but then divide by 2. it should give you a count of how many times the word appears (1 of 38) near the search window.

But if you do the search for 250k it will show up twice, once under the column Reward and once under the column Reward ®, so divide by 2.

I bouht that sh*tty panther to do it, im on 7.5M right now. The normal mechs i had 4 matches that didnt qualify, for the resistance stuff i had 15 failed matches so far. Ok im not great at ER PPC's but the best match ever was 450 damage 3 kills, its usually around 150-300 dmg and 1 kill at best. lol

Such a PITA. But.. getting there.



And i have the Panther 10K ( R )

Or does it only count if you bought the full pack and not Ala carte? It doesnt say so...

Actually, it does say it only counts if you got the full pack and not the Ala Carte, in that there is a reward for everyone playing with normal mechs, and the additional rewards are for those who got the resistance one and resistance two mechs together, because THOSE people got the additional "fourth" variant resistance mech which gets EVEN MORE money. In the case of the Panther, it's the panther with the ballistics and missiles, but no energy that gets the mucho $$$$$. People are referring to it as the "resistance" mech, which it IS since you really only can have it for having R1&R2, but people are also getting confused and thinking the biggest bonus is for the "Special Geometry" variants of each resistance mech instead.

Don't know about full package or not. I believe it was any ( R ) mech being played.

I know my record says (when I play with my ( R ) mech) 250k for the normal column, and then have an ( R ) column that also says 250k. Combined I earned 500k when the two columns are added together.

Does this help?

Chrome plugin that sums up your tournaments and lets you data mine your stats pages.

Basically what PGI did not say is you pretty much just need to do 40 qualifying matches to either get 10mil (not piloting R) or 20mil piloting ®.. ..the list continues after that number cause you know, you might still decide to buy all the ® packs for the goodies?

Unless I'm reading the results page incorrectly, I think you've got this wrong.

The matches I played with the Panther 10K® have 250K in the ® Reward column on the tournament page. Furthermore, the text on the tournament page is pretty clear about which mechs are eligible for the R bonus:


Quote

Pilot any Resistance 1 [R] Variant in the Assault, Skirmish, or Conquest modes (Solo or Group queue) and achieve a minimum Match Score of 150 to qualify for 500,000 bonus C-Bills (to a maximum of 10 Million C-bills).

PNT-10K [R]
ENF-5D [R]
GHR-5J [R]
ZEU-6S [R]

There should be 2 columns with 250K in each game you got 150+ match score, NOT damage.

In the future, never get the Lights Ala Carte. You paid $55 when you could have paid $20 (non-Omni) or $30 (Omni) for the same thing plus some extras.

Nope.
Resistance Mechs are the ones with R in the name, that would be the Panther 10K[R], not the 10P. 10K has 2 Energy & 2 Missile plus ERPPC and other generic quirks.

There's two columns: Match Score | REWARD | Mech | ® Reward | etc

If you're using the right mech, there should be a 250k under both Reward and ® Reward.

I really wish I had 2 more days for this event. I was caught up in the Wind storm on the West Coast and was 48 hours without power. Trying to get in a few games tonight but was hoping to game most of the weekend.

PGI, Plesse don't extend this event. Me and most of my unit members werden finished before the weekend.

Instead give us a new sexy event, pretty please.

For those who didn't finish, i'm sorry. But this was ging in for a week, Mord than enough time to do it and i' m really bored. Just play an hour every weekday and finish the rest on a sunday guys, at last next time.

48 hours without electricity.... shocking...US seems to be a third world country concerning its infrastructure. Never improving the infrastructure but shoving the banksters money into their behind...

Oh I see its Canada... same problem?
