I think a NERF is heading our way...

[CMGrendel]

Complaints notwithstanding - the whole event has been successful in getting me engaged in MWO again - so it has at least achieved its primary goal.

As to the complaints - PGI could reward the people who've spent a lot of time invested, by giving out additional rewards and I suspect that would placate the raving masses. Nothing fancy


Basically, I think people would like you to:

• Add another tier for those that got over 400, with small MC/Pattern/title.
  
• Add another reward for people who accrued over a certain amount of damage over the course of the event (rewarding endurance with the RNG) with small MC/Pattern/title
  
• Extend the event to the end of the week.

Either way, I've had fun - thanks to all involved.

Trying to land on all of the maps needed for this tournament was fairly impossible. I never even saw River City. Feels like a waste of time.

By bust your hump you mean disconnect from every match you had that was not your map? I remember your name and you disconnected from more than 3 of my games. It "would have been nice" if players played out there matches for the event instead of completely messing over there teammates. That is what really made this event unplayable.

Other than some issues I had with my network at the start of the weekend which caused me to disconnect multiple times per match, I never once DC'ed on purpose. And I when I was DCing I was also reconnecting. I fixed that issue after a few matches. (Just upgraded recently to Windows 10, and the computer was switching back and forth between wifi and wired network. I disabled the wifi NIC so it would only use the wired and the problem was resolved.) I only got killed once during one of those DCs.

I will admit to being extra aggressive on maps that I already had. Gotta make them work for for that kill, and do some damage to them as well before they take me out. Even made it to the end of the match a few times despite chasing the baddies around aggressively.

I play the same way in CW when we are getting spawn-camped. Screw disconnecting or sitting there letting them kill me. I always come out guns blazing.

So if it was Dcing you were seeing, it must have been one of the other ThatGuys...there are a few.


Edit: I'd also add that on maps that I already had I left DC'ed mechs for people that needed the points. I even kept them targeted a few times until someone showed up to claim them.

Not one Grim Portico during this whole event.

Seems like it's definitely dedicated to Map Selection during this tournament:

That's the wrong meter, it still works.

Why did it change color in the last panel?!?

Became red? I don't know, maybe enraged like many people here who can't get the map they need

So first I waste more than a day trying to get a map I didn't need because PGI changed the thresholds.



Then I spend six hours dropping on the same two maps in CW that I didn't need for tier two...and didn't see the ONE MAP I needed for tier 1 at all.

At least when the maps came in rotation you knew what you were getting.


And, hey, let's implement a DC penalty cap, and then remove it so everyone knows that DC'ing won't be counted against you.


Thanks PGI. Thanks a lot.

[Mortys]

They nerfed the event. Not a bad idea because il think 400 is a really high score...

But they can't do anything about the rotation of the maps, pls PGI never to that again...

[Cox Devalis]

Okay, I give up.
16 Boreal Vaults are stronger than me.

For the last 2 days:
16 B.Vaults.
3 Vitric Forge
4 Emerald Taiga
3 Grim Portico
2 Sulfurous Rift
1 Hellebore Springs

But that was the whole point... 400 _is_ and _should_be_ ... a challenge!
That is why it was called the Territorial Challenge, not the Territorial Give-Away-Free-Stuff Event.

^this!
Yes, please, go buy a text book on probability mechanics and game theory... (I know nothing about that, but I do not plan events.)

I still find it utterly stupid that a seasoned mechwarrior would drop on a planet he knows nothing about in advance, and therefore cannot customize his loadout to better suit the environment...

[Lanta]

Forest Colony!!! 4 times (incl.1 game crash) for 3 days (100+ matches)
HATE!!! HATE!!! HATE!!!

[EightBitKnight]

would love to get canyon or crismon just one more time. Ive had canyon maybe 3 times this while event the first game and my last two yesterday

[Naryck]

better it be another kind of event: like get 4500 points in 10 best matches on any map. this could be challenging and not depending on the randomness of maps

and what really is strange: i havent seen exactly same maps - crimson and canyon. but keep seeing forest colony, hpg manifold and all other maps except for these two

Most part of the players who want to achieve the 400 pts play the Timber/Dire wolf/Arctic cheetah or a LRM boat build. Where is the challenge ? Read the entire topic you will see that people with 6kills/500dmg and carry the team don't have the 400pts.

[Nomex 99]

Worst challenge ever!

Waiting 48h for last CW map. 25 000 Public players cried -> Public was nerfed. 7 500 CW players were ignored.
Thx PGI!
