Please extend the event! Between match waiting, player logistics and repeated maps, the event is terribly difficult to complete.

C'MON, RUSS!

Worst challenge erver!

Waiting 48h for last CW map. 25.000 Public players cried -> Public was nerfed. 7.500 CW players were ignored. Thx PGI!

So much this.

This also means if you previously qualified for this new reduced point you automatically get it. so you don't have to redo if you already have 300 And Cw is still 200-300

Had the 200 and 300 scores for public drops been posted at the start of the tournament, I would have quite playing public drops sometime on Saturday afternoon and would have then worked on the CW scores. Instead I spent Saturday night and Sunday working on improving my public scores when it was un-necessary. That time could have been spent playing CW. Overall though, I must admit I like the variety of tournament styles they come up with. PGI does an excellent job of putting a variety of ideas into play and I commend them for that.

"Please extend the event! "

Please don't. The DCs have made game play pointless. This morning I had matches where an entire lance DC'd.

Blame the players for exploiting the event. And kill this abomination already.

[Kodyn]

Glad they did damage control and changed the event, glad they aren't extending it.

If extended, we'd all still be suffering garbage gameplay for even longer, DCs, etc, plus not get the prizes we worked for yet.

Some of us may have been counting on that premium time starting when the event is over, so an extension would have ruined that as well.

My guess is that PGI learned a lot from this event, despite the rest of us wanting to kill ourselves during it...so, there's that. Hopefully.

*insert random rage*

Really PGI, what the heck were you thinking? its basically up to RNGesus whether you get the map(s) you still need, and this has caused all sorts of toxic behavior.

Disappointing.

Edit: And out of the blue, I get the one map I am missing, Tourmaline Desert the Elusive, its a defeat but ...
3 kills 807 dam 535 score

... with 12 mins left on the event.
LOL

Finally got my final tier 2 CW map! And just 10 minutes before the official end of the event too.

Now it's time to move on, maybe I'll play some Shadow of Mordor or read some Brandon Sanderson or Robert Jordan. This event really burned me out on MWO as I've been playing since friday morning

[surgetank]

Got to be honest this challenge is the worst one i have played so frustrating getting the maps, I have played over 4 - 5 hours each day since it started sometime's getting the same map 4 to 5 times in a row, and when i do get a map i need i see people disconnecting because they have points for that map and leaving the team short and making it harder to score your damage.

[Lunatic_Asylum]

Please report all of the people who have disconnected, asked others to shoot them, overheated themselves, or ran out of bounds.

Played for hours and hours hoping to get that last map HPG, frustration growing after repeatedly getting the same damn (wrong) maps. Got HPG during the last few minutes. Had a bad game. Sigh.

[Lhunara]

Missed the mark by 50 points on the last map... River City.
Oh well.

[Padde]

Well... thx for the challenge PGI.

I really played a lot... but I had NO chance to even complete tier 1 on either challenge.

Why?? I didn't get the right maps...

Not that i played bad on them... I DIDN'T even get a chance to play them!!

So... how is that a fair challenge??

On every map I played - i qualified at least for tier 1 - so i think i should at least be rewarded both tier 1 prizes!!!

But see for yourself!!!

[The Amazing Atomic Spaniel]

Reliance on RNG to complete challenge = frustration.

I ended up hating PGI.

Not good.

[Commodore Perspicuous]

Missed T2 by 10 points...

[Anunknownlurker]

I honestly can't believe all the crying and whining about an event no one is forced to play, offering free stuff IF you cared. If you made it (and many did) good on you, if you didn't? Well, what did you lose other than a few games with dcs (which happen from time to time anyway) and the occasional donkey in your team (again, not uncommon).

Grow up people.

[Husker Adama]

The "all or nothing" concept is too thankless.

PGI should give a reward by map at least.

[WonderSparks]

I like and respect that you guys are trying new things with these tournaments and events, but seriously...

DO NOT. EVER. MAKE ANOTHER DEPENDANT ON RANDOM CHANCE.

I haven't had to use this much self-control since my little brother moved out.

While i understand your hard feelings, I have to ask: what substances do you take?
Let PGI figure out the d/cs! I thought they kept track anyways..
Overheating? Ever heard of stock Novas? I for one go full alpha when I am CT cored and face 2+ enemies at once close quarters in the hope of getting some more damage before the inevitable death. Results? Sometimes a kill, death no matter what.

Why did the event have tiers. Never got Grim Portico once. so no tier one or two.

I can understand dangling the carrot, but making it so frustrating when your trying really hard leaves a bad taste.

Also what happened to events lasting for a week so everyone gets a chance to play.
I thought it was finally realized some people have days off like Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Oh wells.
