So many matches like that one...

Keep getting the maps I don't need, so I just kinda fart around, and end up with 300+...then I get one of the 4 I still need, I forget to farm components, accidentally hit CTs and get kills, and just generally frak it all up, and end up with just shy of 300...

I was intending to ignore this event, but once I got halfway by accident I kinda wanted to finish..now it's making me hate myself and my life choices a bit..

Exactly this ^^
Thos event do not promote good and effective gameplay.I saw guy doing 500 dmg 5 kills all solokills and he did not even 300 points...this is rly sad.When I saw that I said F it this event is bad and I do not even try.Actualy I am trying to get kills as fast as possible instead of points farming.Those events are not for me...

It's funny how 228 throws matches by doing "planet exchanges" in the hardcore unit challenge, and nobody seems to care. I guess they didn't break the game as bad as SWOL did. #lulz

No marauder pack as a giveaway prize, so who cared really?

Guess following the TOS is suspicious.... Who knew.

oh, are you one of those little kidlets who reckons that there are no cheaters in this game? or are you trying to not have too much attention drawn to the subject by appearing to shoot it down

[DaFrog]

no, the point he is making is that there are no caveats in the contest rules saying that you can not farm mechs who are not firing back. I saw it a handful of times in the public queue, had doubts, but this confirms my suspicions.

Hi Folkz,

in earlier events we needed to make 30 or 40 points in a Public queue Match to get the event done.
Now we must do 300 or 400 points.
Does the new point system give us 10 times more points in a single match?
If so, i should have made matchpoints between 600 and 1000 in every match.
Because with the old matchpoint system i allways made something between 50-60 and 100 points in a match.
But now i make only 150 to 280-290 points in all the matches. (maybe 3x more points than it was before)
Even if i have more than 500dmg and 1 Kill i don't get 300 points, or 3 kills and nearly 400 dmg wasn't enough too.
This way i will not even get tier 1 done.
I'm giving up.

Just curious, do i need to have 300 for all maps to qualify for tier 1 or just one out of all maps?

All... the last challenge was far more rewarding.

[DaFrog]

Anyone with a calculator ? 24 assaults and 24 medium mechs, plus all internal structure. how much damage ? i mean on that photo, did they manage to destroy every piece of armor that dropped or did they leave some behind ?

[Taffer]

This is horrendous. It's bad enough that I'm struggling to get 300-400 points. I have to keep wasting my time waiting for a couple of maps to come up. Then I fail them and have to wait again.

And community warfare? WOW. Like, holy **** you can't be serious. It took me long enough just to get to play it, only to get wrecked. Nothing new there, but I can't score for **** in CW now. What do you expect? For people to NOT die? One team is going to die, a lot. That is a huge waste of time for all of them.

**** this event. I'm gonna go do something else.



FFS this makes To The Victors' kill+assist+survive+win challenge look good.

[LordNothing]

i might get the t1 cw prize. i only got two more for that, forge (which i havent seen once this event) and sulfurous.

i have yet to score on a single public queue match though. makes me wonder why the bar is so high. i know i can get those kinds of scores but they are rare, certainly too rare for this event.

Actually this is worse, the Victor event sucked but everyone knew at the beginning that it was going to be a teeth pulling event. This event gets your hopes up that if you just play a good game you can get the 1st tier point and if you have a super game you can get the 2nd tier point. But then at the end of the match a broken scoring system squashes your soul because despite killing 4 mechs, hitting the rest and doing decent damage you somehow weren't worthy of that 300 .

That's tough, very tough to clear, especially tier 2. Not sure if they meant it to be that way? CW needs less points to qualify.

Btw, the match i just ended :
Ally - 2 kills 5 assists 469 dmg 300 pts
Me - 0 kills 7 assists 455 dmg 304 pts

Wierd...i did less but scored 4 more

Spotting assists, component destructions, scouting, ECM countering... it adds up. Very veeeery slowly.

[trajan331]

They really need to give a prize for each map you get T1 or T2 on and, a bonus for doing it on all maps. They say odds of winning are based on skill but, that's not entirely true. It's a combo of skill, number of games played and the RNG.

[DaFrog]

on what ground ?

[TheKennanator]

This event truely stinks. The match score on every map in a game system where each map is random and the time to get into a match is upwards of 10 minutes in some cases forces people to figure out a way around it.

I think the "horrible people" who did this are protesting an event that requires broken strategies to achieve the baseline as opposed to an honest grind.

PGI needs to implement a seperate even queue for tournaments, cap the group limit at 4 so that a group can put together a coordinated lance and allow for faster matche making, and index the scores to a combination of group performance / individual performance without putting huge penalities on losing a mech in pursuit of victory.

Match Score as it stands is a poor formula that requires some tweaking.

And here's my final observation: We're in CW Beta 2. If there weren't players finding exploits and obviously documenting them (where did that score card come from?) the game would remain broken.

Now I'm going to attempt to get 300 points on one match. Hasn't happened yet.

[Xione87]

Argh, getting really frustrated playing the random map lottery. Either I get one of the 7 maps I already scored a 400+ on and have to sit through another pointless match or I get one of the two maps I still need and it's a stomp either way. Win or lose it's difficult to score really high in a stomp

Oh snap! I'm not alone in feeling like this is impossible:
