I found the CW ones to be far more annoying because depending on the amount of people you are waiting 10-60 minutes for a match. Then 30 minutes for the match to finish. That is a real pain when you are waiting for one specific map. Even worse is when you score a 197 on that last map. In addition to the chance you can shadow drop and on top of that the whole Match Score is divided between your used mechs makes it so everyone want's to be in the back taking potshots and going for component destruction over kills. Many times I was killed by an enemy just because allies were targeting him for max damage not for the kill.

Just reducing the requirement from 200 and 300 to 175 and 275 would make a large difference.

Sick of playing roulette to try to get the one map I need (Crimson Strait). PGI can take their challenge and shove it. I think I'm gonna go play another game for several months. Way to burn me out on this one with your ********.

Like so many, basing a challenge on the RNG map was bad. I loved the challenge overall, but the map generation sucked ballz.

Sorry MWO, love the game and have the entire time, but this was badly thought out.

Chock it up to a learning experience for all of us. Digest it and move on.

Wow, after waiting an hour to get into a CW match of course not on the map I need. I noticed that players were starting to turn against each other because of the conditions. Some were holding back to protect their mechs saying there is no other way to rationally play this event and then others were getting annoyed and started team killing. Both parties are at fault but the conditions for even the lowest tier of the CW portion seem to encourage this especially when you have to spend so much time waiting for potentially nothing. i stayed out of the bickering but this is just what I observed and heard over comms.

[wshwash]

Acutally I believe everyone is frustrated when you are close to getting your 400 pts(now 300) but didn't because your teammates are deliberately disconnecting and screwing everyone up. Also another issue is people tend to play less seriously because they already gotten their points for that specific map and somehow screwing up people who actually need it.

I haven't actually played or completed all events flawlessly and I have to say this event/tourney is the the worst I have ever seen. Lots of hate in this event, and I admit I am one of them

[MaxFool]

CW scores are much easier to get. There are also less maps. If you can actually deliver the results needed, the match format removes a lot of the variance you see in regular queue, many players get the needed score pretty much in every single match.

What do you guys think is my problem, getting the score, or getting the map?

Hey, I tried all 3 modes in PUG, I even thought of doing other servers just to get what I needed. I got all but 1 today using original match scores needed when someone told me they lowered the requirements.
I also seem to have gotten lucky on Friday getting all Tier 1 and missing only 4 Tier 2 but that is due to the weirdness I notice on the North American server.

They only lowered the requirements for the public queue prize packs, which was easy to begin with.

Original requirements were only easy depending on what time you played on what server.

May not be the right place to rant this but...

Win a match with a score of 382 = 200,000 C-Bills.

Win a match with a score of 243 = 300,000 C-Bills.

How?

Why?

I get similar.

[Dark Madness X]

I have been in a map loop the last 2 days and the 2 maps i need i have only gotten once.... help please

[Commander A9]

It is done!

Been at this 13 hours, but finally got it! Tier 2 on all Community Warfare maps!

Only in the last game did I play super-conservatively. I hated it too and had some very narrow close calls, but...finally got it.

My solution was to AVOID public games in Community Warfare: Drop with your units!

If you don't have a unit, then seek out the major units in your faction. Especially one which understands the mechanics behind which maps will be prepping next.

MercStar is aligned with Rasalhauge, but I'm sure they'll take any eager volunteers. Clans have plenty of units from Praetorian Legion to the major Clan galaxies and the like.

Seek them out; they will help you.

My advise also: don't team-kill those who disconnect: leave them for the opposition if they get the chance-this tournament is rough on everyone enough as it is!

Wow. Reading about your experiences in CW makes me glad I didn't bother about that bit of the challenge. I thought the pub queue was bad enough as it is.

My only 2 successes in CW were thanks to having dropped with 228 who proceeded to stomp the other side with ruthless efficiency.

PGI, do the right thing and just give the rewards to anyone who put a decent effort into completing this event and are just lacking a few maps. It will go a long way towards regaining goodwill lost from this poorly thought out event.

[R1CK D0M]

Two words: Caustic where?

[Nephoros Sradac]

This is the meter for this CommunityRagefare Warfare event

[Reptile Blackdeath]

Here's a though. Map issues aside, why not give those who achieved the original score objective some kinda of bonus. If I hadn't spent all the time on hitting T2 in the Pub queue, I might have lucked up on the CW. Just a though...

[50 50]

All up it's been a tough challenge with some nice tier prizes.
Getting into the top 10 you have to be getting some serious scores on the maps, well done to those who did and congrats to the top 3 on your shiny new Marauders.

It is very easy to get frustrated when these events are on as you try to out perform your own efforts each time.
Sometimes this is due to elements under your own control, other times it's not.
While I did fall victim to that myself trying to get that last score on a hard to get map I still enjoyed the matches, had some great games and witnessed some great piloting from other players.

It's like watching a bunch of high-school students get a B on there math test when they required a A so they complain to the school board that getting A's are too hard. The school board then changes the highest grade to a B and instead of being grateful they call them ******** for all the time they spent trying to get A's when they could have just been playing outside.

No. It's like getting A's on lottery only. We will have students who get As in all classes receive a treat, but some of the classes will only appear at random. So try again with your sarcastic comment.

[kakusaretaneko]

broke 400 on my normals, hour later it gets dropped to 300, completely burned out gfg

[Darrious Quinn]

Its unfortunate to see that the randomness of map selection seems to be the biggest source of rage. I too was bit by it though, and my time is up. I secured my T1 rewards, but I missed T2 by 50 points in the Canyon. After 8 hours of play, it only popped once? Really? I have no doubt that if I had the full weekend to commit to it, this wouldn't be an issue, but that just isn't doable for many folks.

In reality, the far more sane solution would be to allow room to miss a map.
IE. Solo Queue T1/T2 rewards required 8 of 9 map at qualifying score. For CW I'd say 4 of 6 due to wait times.

This roulette table is rigged wen it comes to hoping you get the one map you need.
