Yet another of PGI famous tournaments. Disconnects and suicides allover the place.

At least we now all know where we stand skills-wise. It took me a 3-day grind, at more than 12hrs a day to achieve Tier 2 at total score of 4602. I did it mostly in my trashcan and cheeter, throw in a lurmdog for giggles that caused one or two outliers.

So let me get this right; It's PGI's fault for the players being twits and screwing their team for their selfishness?

Have we gotten any responses from the devs yet? Because if they don't at least extend the event there is going to be much PGI hate in the next week...

I'd take a [you need 9x 400 map scores] replacement as an alternative to an extension.

I hate to break it to you, but No. Selfish players are always going to be selfish. While the event may extrapolate it, its not PGI's fault for them being {Richard Cameron}.

I don't like the RNG nature of the event, but I like the event overall.

The most moronic event for that year. Worse, I have not seen.
I congratulate the team of developers. This is a success (trollface).

I think they need to rethink how the maps are selected. I've been playing all weekend and have only had about 5-10 Tourmaline Desert maps. However, I have had a dearth of every other map. PGI, check my records if you don't believe me. In fact, Tourmaline is the only map I don't have a Tier 2 (400 score or higher) completion on. Please PGI, see what can be done about this.

[praying]
Thanks God for giving me Emerald Taiga, I've earned my 300+. But can you just stop giving it - now it's 4th Taiga in a row for the last 2 hours. Now I need H.Springs to improve my result.
Amen.

The issue is the rules incentivize bad behavior. It would be better to design an event that rewards good behavior rather than rewarding bad behavior and relying on the goodness of the players to not do bad things. It would have been just as easy to design a good event.

Instead of needing all maps instead count the best match on every map and reward only on the total score in a tiered fashion and only use the top x/y maps like let you have 2 maps you either don't need to drop on or drop the 2 lowest scores. I never once saw Viridian Bog in 3 days. Not once!

Funny you mention Tourmaline Desert, as I am having the exact same issue. I think I played over 40 matches this weekend and I have gotten Tourmaline 2 times. Failed to reach 400 both times. However, I do not think this is an issue with how the maps are selected, rather just bad luck. I'm sure there's someone else out there that has not seen a map that we have gotten a lot.


EDIT:

Hmm just saw this after I posted... perhaps its not just bad luck? Interesting.

Well it may also be some selective perception but I tended to get the mining collective and caustic valley very often. Not so much the 3 maps I still need to finish (the bog, canyon, river city).
