Extend the event!

Pretty please?

[shopsmart]

Umm, they changed the scoring requirements.

[DemonRaziel]

Well it's either this or waste even more time trying for the missing map(s) and the required score.

I'm just glad the nightmare is finally over and even thogh I could have spent my Sunday not chasing virtual rabbits at least I can salvage my Monday and Tuesday thanks to this.

Though it will take a while before I get over this burnout...

Yes, another flaw in the system.

I don't see how rewarding players for doing good in CW and not dieing for there efforts is a flaw in the system. Rewarding more points for how many mechs you have left makes a lot of sense to me.

Excuse me, but are you some special kind of stupid changing the goal post in the last 24h of the event?
Could've either played a lot more CW if you had done that earlier or would not have been upset if you would not had it changed at all.
But this way? Sorry ....

Great post. This is exactly how I feel it!

I have completed those low 200/300 requirements on Saturday and I could have played CW since then!

All my effort devoted to 400-point scores on all maps has been effectively a wasted effort!

Yeah, many of us are burned out to get a needed map and 400+ms. But now I feel the time I spent was some kinda useless.

play the game for fun or for work? which is it?

even though this event may not have been thought out thoroughly its still amazing bonus even if you get just tier1 bonus its still awesome reward
just play like there is no event... also think that there is no blank alpine peaks, nor hellhole known as mordor so that definately +

Umm, guys, I will repeat, something changed on the scoring requirements.

T2=300 now

And they want to start suspension for disconecting and exploding players

Well, lowering requirements was a good thing.
But I feel... disappointed!
I just died getting those 400+ pts and waiting some 10 hrs for tourmaline to show up!
Hmm...

[Wooky1]

i have see 3 and 4 people dc on a team and when that happens unless the enemy team are idiots you are done folks with very little chance of making the score and but if you dc your self at thaty point it counts agains you really rather unfair

[Elegant and Sophisticated]

Great, i could have done by friday! Now i dont have enough time for CW, stupid pgi.

[Icantswim]

It took me so much time to finally get this damned Mining Collective. And I haven't even started on CW yet because of this.
I mean I started like an hour ago, got 2 matches (505 and 400+ on two different maps) and right now I'm having a 3rd one on the same map as the 2nd one.
As you can see, it's no problem for me, I got enough skill to pull this off. But I just don't have enough time.
So I pretty much vote for the event to be extended. Because this random thing is ridiculous. You have to play 24/7 with no sleep or whatsoever to get all maps. It isn't a matter of skill, you know. It's rather matter of luck, which is kinda wrong.
And it drives people insane. In just two matches I saw people disconnecting and shooting disconnected teammates and ejecting so we get less points.

I don't get this, you are upset that they changed the requirements so more people can complete the event? Unless PGI has some magic all seeing crystal ball that predicts the future just be glad they changed it in the first place so many people who were struggling could have completed the event. Your post just looks like your bitching for the sake of bitching with no real point at all. Change it earlier or don't change it all? That makes zero sense.

Well, that's BS!
It took me two days to get 400+ on every map. I haven't played CW because of this. And now they pull off this trick. So nice of them. If they announced it at least yesterday it could have saved me time for CW.

[Dnarvel]

Really could have used this by Saturday night, that way I could have started on CW on Sunday instead of trying to get the map I needed for my 400. An extension for CW would be great as I think a lot of people were trying the public que first before hitting CW. Some people got lucky on groups and map rotation and some didn't. I had a couple of matches (after the dc counts against you was taken out) where my side lost 3-4 people who didn't need the map, these people screwed the rest of our team out of getting a decent score on a map we needed.

Next time make it so they cannot disconnect from a match, even after death. This way at least some of them may try instead of d/cing or running into the enemy and suiciding to move to another group. THAT is what caused a lot of missed opportunities for a lot of people who finally got the map they needed.

I stuck it out on every map as I did not want to cause anyone on my team to potentially miss out on their chance due to any selfishness on my part.

[Fangry]

Good thing that they decided to lower the scores.. but the scores were never the real problem. Would be nice if PGI would take it's customers more seriously. MM was always a weak link in this game.. and it is not that new that we have to play one map over and over again for a whole day.. specially in CW.

It's a shame that so many people will probably only get the solo part of the even completed. (unless they have all ready quit)

[Artanizzz]

OH COME ON!!! Lowering the bars right after I finally got the last map I needed and got over 400 point?!
You gotta be kidding me...
Extend the even! Still waiting for some maps on CW to get my 300 points.
