Worst event ever for me!!! Waste of time.
100 games or so, and only saw Canyon Network 1 time. Didn't get high enough, and never saw it again.
Usually love events, completed all the others. It won't let me do this one!

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.

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

Indeed. 27 points shy of Tier 2 on Bog, and ~25 drops later haven't seen it again.

I'm giving up. After spending 4 hours online, after finishing work, I got my last map to show up for CW. Then my team went on to be completely rolled by a pre-made 12 of one of the top clans. I was top for my team and still only got 150 match score probably due to the fact it was a 10 to 48 match. Everyone on the opposing team got +400 match score, but that doesn't help my situation. I am not going to spend another 4 hours after already spending a total of 24 hours on this event just for the same thing to happen again.

I really hope they lower the match score for requirements for CW last minute. It's all the fun of trying to get the former 400 match score for standard drops with the fun of waiting 30 minutes and then suffering through another 30 minute match because I just don't want to bail on my team mates just because I didn't get the map I need despite others seeming to do that very thing.

A observation of my own. As this event progressed my own match score per CW match has slowly gone down. It just seems like the longer this event went on the more people started adopting the super conservative play style to not lose your mechs which has a negative impact on team mates.

I actually didn't mind the map requirement as much as the whole match score because the Match score seems to have had the largest negative affect on the play dynamic for CW.

FC 456
River 514
Bog 569
Valley 459
HPG 375
MC 397
Canyon 442
Desert 548
Crimson strait 387
Total 4,138

I give up. River city, forest colony, bog and desert over and over again. The random map lotto has got to go. And when you finally get the map you want 2 or 3 of your team disconnects.

Worst. Event. Ever. PGI, you should know better.

Enough with all the hostility already. PGI tried something new, it didn't work out so great, but they'll learn from this. This is the first challenge that has actually been a challenge in years.

For those people who didn't know, requirements for tier 2 is now 300. So if you are already over 300, rejoice

[Taffer]

Can't believe I got t1 and 2 for public queue and CW. Huge thanks to the CWI guys for announcing planet/map in faction chat, and being such a skilled bunch of guys that I was able to get the last 2 maps I needed with no problem. Saved me a lot of time . I thought for sure I'd be playing the map lotto for hours and getting stomped before having to give up.

The public queue was miserable. I feel pretty lucky about completing that one. Took an awfully long time to get the last map I needed; I was ready to rage-quit if I failed it again.

0/10 worst event ever. I didn't think the Victor challenge could be topped for this title.

Be VERY afraid of the next horrible new idea they come up with for an event. I really can't imagine this one being topped though.

Did this JUST happen?

[Havyek]

IMO I have no problem with the score requirement being difficult to reach, HOWEVER the match scoring (as has been stated) being primarily based on damage is borked. Even then, I'd be ok with it.

Certain score on a certain map, having no ability to select the map and the RNG randomly selecting (or what seems like actively avoiding) certain maps over others is the primary source of rage.

I had my pub drop scores completed rather quickly (for Tier 1 anyway). However no matter how well I played I could not complete even T1 for CW. Probably 15-20 matches over the weekend until tonight. I couldn't complete it because there was 1 map I NEVER, EVER dropped on.

Any future events need to have a minimum score averaged over a certain number of matches (week long event, say 20 CW matches and/or 100 open matches) and a minimum scoring would be fine IMO. But no more requirements of day and night dropping, in the hopes that you:
1 - Even get on the map you need
2 - Drop with a team competent enough to not be face rolled
3 - Drop against a team competent enough to not be face rolled
4 - Get enough damage to reach a specific match score (because let's face it, assists, kills, info etc doesn't boost your match score like good old damage does).

I found (that until PGI lowered it from 400) getting a 400+ match score needed minimum of 1 kill, 4 assists, 600 damage. That's a lot.

[blah40000]

why lower the thresh-hold for pub drops but not CW? CW is harder to get due to the current scoring system AND the way map selection works.

is it too much to ask to lower the thresh-holds by 50 points in each CW tier?

[kka]

Approximately 11 hours of CW: 26 matches, 0 hellebore springs.

PGI, I really, really tried.

EDIT: The 27th match did it. And now I am a happy man!

[Alteran]

Come to think of it, to fix the RNG fiasco, change the Tier 1 to 1800 pts total and Tier 2 to 2700 pts total.

That would help fix this up pretty quick.

[BlackDrakon]

I havent see HPG since saturday night, I have played for more than 15 hours, and nothing yet...

I give up.

[Shuruga]

I just saw they lowered the minimum scores of the event. Thank you PGI!
With the leaderboard it never needed so tough scores too beat, as only the winner get's the prizes. At least in terms of participation I now "won".

I just hope gaming returns back to normal after the event.

[smokefield]

having a related event to specific maps when you have a random rotation of those maps was pretty frustrating. It should have been related to number of games regardless of maps. 15 games over 300 points for tier one, 15 games over 400 for tier 2 in CW would have been enough. dont make it map related.

I think the event should be extended with 48h so everyone who didnt get to play some maps have a chace to do it (i still need 2 cw maps too..), and next time dont make it map related.

[Tarogato]

I must have played 20 or 30 CW matches by now this weekend, and I haven't seen Vitric Forge even ONCE. More than 12 straight hours of playing CW and no Vitric.

I finished the rest of the challenge easily the first evening... got every map I needed except for that one. 4 days later... still haven't seen that one map. I JUST WANT SOME COLOURS AND MCs, DANG IT!

[Twilight Fenrir]

Agreed... could you please reconsider extending the event? The match score was never the problem, it was getting the damned map to show up... another two days would really make me happy n.n I just need one map on both game modes... River City, and Sulfurous Rift...

[Mr Arigato]

this event is so frustrating!

[Nephoros Sradac]

Why you people want to extend this Afk leech fest is beyond me.......PGI close it early is the best answer so CW can get back to normal and stop wasting people's time who actually want to do CW with others that have the same goals.
