After 2 days I finally got Crimson Strait for the first time. It was a stomp so no 400 matchscore. Next time I made a mistake and no 400 ms.

Third time I carried hard, get 6 kills, 3 assists and 473 dmg, and in the final moments almost made the last kill in 1vs1 situation and won the match by myself. All that and IT WAS 303 MATCHSCORE!

4th match 2 kills, 3 assists, 434 dmg and matchscore was 302.

That is just a brutal joke. It is stuff and events like these why I haven't spend money at all for this game for the past 10 months. I almost bought the Marauder pack but just now lost any motivation to do so.

This challenge is broken for CW. If you lose a mech you may as well kiss that half hour goodbye.

I know the feels homie, it seems Damage is the most important to get rank.

i wonder what will be done to those that excessively disconnect just because its not their missing map.
imho, everyone that does this should NOT get their prizes.

What patch? This is a thread for an event, not a patch...hasn't been one in a week to my knowledge..

And there's no penalty for DC... that was removed yesterday or the day before...either way, well before you posted this.

The 9/8 patch patch borked a bunch of stuff and made the game nay unplayable for some, myself included. As for the D/C disqualification penalty, I didn't know they removed it since they made no statement on the tournament page and I'm not going to sift through 23 pages to read all the posts in the off chance they might have mentioned it. It should be stated in the original post of this thread and the tournament page that it was removed. Regardless of me being disqualified or not, if I attempt to play there is a very good chance that I just gave my team a 11v12 match and that sucks a lot. Either way it's unplayable for me just like last weekends event.

[Jalthibuster]

If you ever plan to do an event which has a random component....just don't! Or give people like 2 weeks time to do it. Yesterday i played 11 games of which were 8 times Boreal....this is just BS.

Not sure what about that patch broke your game, but I feel for ya there.

As to the DC clause, all you'd have to do is look at your tourney tracking page, and see there's no DC counter anymore, no need to look around anywhere, just one logical spot.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm all for bitching about this event, it's a fairly crap event...but complaining about parts that aren't an issue just detracts from the important stuff. Besides, the minute the DC counter was broke everyone assumed it was going to get taken out, it's common sense.

[Alienized]

can someone post a clear message from PGI about the abusive DCing in battles? one guy just overheated himself to get out of the map after start.

i really love a name and shame part now.

[Dahkoht]

Genuinely curious if they will ban all the obvious cheaters , what excuse would there be not to ?

[Vapor NINE]

This has to be one of the most frustrating events. Nothing like playing for hours to get that magical map only to have 2 to 3 team members immediately disconnect or getting the same map 4 times in a row.

Why would you base an event around the randomness of which map you might get and not solely based on player performance.

[GullyFoyle]

just changing it to 7 out of 9 (5? of 6 for cw) would reduce the silly random jinx not getting correct maps some people will have

I spent ~20 hours of nolife playing to qualify the 2nd prize pack in public queue. And the main reason for such a long time is... forest colony.

I played about 8 games per hour. 20x8 = 160.
Nearly 160 games and just 3 Forest Colonies among these.
Am I the most unlucky man here... or ... ?

Nope. Mining is the bane of my existence right now. Very angry about it.

Or having a requirement as:

• played on every map, and
  
• total score has to be at least (number of maps) * (200 or 300 or 400 depending on a game type / tier)

That way you could offset a bad game on one map with exceptional games on different maps.

[RoboPatton]

Dear PGI, for the sake of your player base and it's sanity, change the requirements of this event.

X times on X maps with minimum (achievable) score. For example.

[Outcast1six]

I sit here in my chair, staring at the spinning "searching" icon. Waiting. Hoping.

Oh. Wait it's "connecting". Wait a little more. Hope a little more.

NO. CRUSHING, BS!!!!!!!!! It isn't the last god damn map I need, once again let down.

Oh well. Maybe next match........

Or the next one.......

Next match.......

Match.....

[Hawk819]

I did this on Forest Colony:

4 kills
5 Assists
396 damage

and it reads on the board as 287! are you kidding me?!?!

[RoboPatton]

I've not seen the last two maps I need since this AM, for some reason it keeps giving me maps I've already scored on.

Man, this is frustrating.
