When do rewards get injected??

I hope they are doing something with 400+ qualified players. That's why we still have no rewards.
I really hope for this.

[edit]

[Cryzak]

Im mad becouse i dont get colors...

[BloodyProphet]

okay i started this Event late cuz of work, started Monday and ended up playing all day and all night till 6Am my time (the end of the even) I read nothign about any DC crap at all in the rules and saw no counter for it, yes after playing for almost 18 hours near the end when i only had one map left (River City) and playing through 38 maps in the attempt to get the one i needed i kinda gave up hope. I started DCing cuz i was tired as **** and only needed to one map. I still cant find and DC counter and on the Page i was linked to from the main MWO page there is nothing about any DC disqualifying crap at all. So becouse after 16 hours i was tired, i dont get anything? I seriousely wasted 18 hours straight just to get a bunch of green checks and nothing else?? Also the maps ARE NOT equal in the rotation at all, i spent most of my time on Tourmaline, Forest Colony and Viridian Bog, at the worst point (about 4AM here) is when i gacve up after Tourmaline 4 in a row followed by Viridian bog 5 in a row.

hopefully some of that time is spent investigating themselves for rigging the event.

Define: "Rig" or "Rigging": to manipulate fraudulently:

a challenge game that is unwinnable would be considered cheating by the provider. you wouldn't really expect that type of setup unless your playing at a carnival booth.

So many people needed 1 single map to complete the challenge, at what point does it become obvious that its not a random occurrence that people could not finish regardless of how many times they disconnected.?





As soon as the patch completed i was able to see every map in the rotation within an hour and half of play time. I mean why in the world would that happen if nothing changed after the event was completed.

I think the DC constraint was removed from the conditions (probably because of so many unintentional DCs).

I hope that PGI is using this opportunity to weed out cheaters. Seriously, getting almost 8K over ten maps is incredibly difficult, given the amount of luck required to get the right map, drop with the right bunch, not get targetted/taken out at the beginning by focus fire, etc. I've seen a few 1,000+ damage players score in the 600s, but to get 800 you'd almost need to kill every single mech on the battlefield by yourself.
Now, try to do that over all 10 maps when they're delivered randomly.

Exploiting / Griefing / Non-Participation
Our definition of Exploiting / Griefing includes:

• Wilfully or repeatedly self-destructing one's 'Mech by Overheating or going Out-of-Bounds
  
• Wilfully or repeatedly disconnecting during a match.

By the rules all of us have agreed to, they not only should disqualify you from competition, but they could just as well ban your account. The latter won't happen simply because too many people were doing it. I still would wish that they'd give temporary bans to worst offenders, just because there was a challenge with good prizes does not mean you can suddenly start breaking the rules that normally apply.

They didn't necessarily cheat. It's possible to do all that if you drop in full 12 mans and everyone on the team is dedicated to helping you get that match score.

Let's keep this hate train moving on down the tracks...... Cho chooooo.
Lol people freckin out now cause awards aren't showing up even though post is up and should have them later tonight.
Hate hate hate hate. Feel like this is the haters ball from Chapelle show

[BloodyProphet]

If you DCed enough you could get the map, i was stubborn and refused to go to bed untill after i finished the last map i needed, i actually finished River City at 5:56AM, the event ended at 6Am, and i barely made the score for it, 313, mostly becouse i was dog tired and frustrated as all get about about having only one map left for most of the eavning and night and not getting it. For the most part, yea im kinda sorry for the guys i left behind int h ose matches,but seeing as how im not the only person to do it, was tired and playing like crap anyways, and when i did stay i had some moron shooting me on my own team "cuz i was a Dcing POS"...meh.

I wonder how they separate the ones who are willfully overheating to die and those that just built their mech that way or are absolutely awful at managing heat so they just press the override shutdown button

Man I do /not/ blame you. I know a guy who kept a record of his matches during this event and he had to DC 67 times before he got the map he needed. RNG is not something you should be basing an event on.

lol well then since you feel that way lets look at the stats of my gameplay, i played 18 hours straight, the first 16 hours i fought in every match till i was dead or the match ended, at around 8 hours in i had all the maps i needed but River City and one other, i still played every match, at 16 hours i was half asleep and frustraded needing only River City, Finnally completed at 18 hours with all maps done. Out of the entire day i only played River City 4 times, 4 times in god knows how many matches over 18 hours. Also i dont see many people pissing and moaning about DC's when it not durring an event, at that point its just normal. They just move on and play the match.

[tenchugecko]

for me as a casual pug whale, this event was horrible.
my Locusts are useless, and i cant stand playing those Tryhard heavy and medium builds anymore. Everything got so formula-tryhard-competitive, while current instant fire Laser-mechanics destroy almost every other interresting game element.

For me as a Viewer of competitive Games, it's even more apparent there.

Everyone knows that there have only been 63 banned cheaters in the 3+ years that MWO has been out.

[glycerin]

I'm just comparing this to an event or something you pay to go to in real life. Then they don't let you do the "thing", whatever it is, to get the prize.

If it happened IRL, I think the person in charge would make it right. At least that's what I've seen. Hopefully they will do the same thing here...

Simple Challenge??? Really?? Dude, did you even try for it? Gettign half or even most of the map, sure its a cakewalk, but after around midnight almost EVERYONE i seen in a match only needed one map, and had spent hours and hours trying for it. How is that simple? I had an 18 hour grind to do it and only finished with around 3 min to spare before it ended.

[mad kat]

Thank **** that bs is over (didn't even bother trying for the event) because as always theyre toxic for the game. Its about time pgi realised the events make this game crap.

and after all this time they still cant figure a quantifiable measure of performance without including damage in the equation.

It needs to be pointed out that PGI has never registered these contests with any LAWFUL authorities. How do we know the RNG nature of the map selection ? How are we assured that the people on top of the leader board did not receive additional information from people associated with PGI. We are being told there is an investigation by PGI. PGI investigating us I understand, but who's investigating PGI and how do we know everything is on the up and up.

It is one thing to organize contests for c-bills, and camo. But when you do such events for prizes that can only be purchased using real cash, there are a lot of legalities to cover. And we have no information on this company going through due process in this regard.
