playing since 2 days, every free minute, at least 20 houres pure game time and i got hpg ONCE.
80 % it is forrest , river or viridian. forest is the burner... at least half the matches ...
the 6 other maps must share the remaining 20 %
think i got canyon 2 times and where lucky to do a good score right away, hpg only once and did a unlucky 271 score..it simply never showd up again.
for now i am too frustrated and burned out to continue, its 3:37 am anyway

[Lady Adahna]

I'm really happy you guys do events and I super appreciate the work you put into the game. But this one event.......... Please change it at least a little? This is ridiculous.

[Bandaron]

Allow me to add my voice to the chorus noting that, while I appreciate what you're going for, this event misses the mark a bit. It's rough on those players who just can't get a certain map, or who finally get it but happen to be saddled with a crap team. And it incentivizes players looking for a particular map to disconnect, or at least blow off the match, until they find what they're looking for. Love the rewards, but maybe causing a bit more frustration than you intended overall.

[John Stryker]

Sure would be sweet if the swag was for getting only half the maps, or at an overall point threshold. But that's just me. Played about 30 hours since event start and have given up wishing for the last maps I need to tier2.

[Commander A9]

I love the prizes; I just hate the point scoring system and the fact that I'm getting maps I don't need; it's almost midnight and I'd rather not spend this whole weekend I have off doing this.

Although I think it's going to come to that with my luck...

As much as I like playing the event, spending EIGHT HOURS trying to drop on Caustic Valley ONLY THREE TIMES TODAY is getting on my nerves. PGI, I'm not asking for a fix, I'm asking for an explanation that isn't "we'll see what's wrong sometime soon".

Edit: As I posted that I got into a Caustic Valley match and got my 400 for that match, finishing up the event for myself. Still, I'd like to know what took so long.

lol We ***** on these forms like they actually read them,look at them better yet Care about them. (with all the hate they bring on themselves; torn if i understand why they don't care or look or hate them even more because they could fix it) they didn't even update day3 till black knight.

I don't believe I have ever been this angry with this game.

You know what? I agree. Not even the Victor's Challenge pissed me off as much as I am now.

You drop on maps you don't need over and over and over, and you don't want to disconnect for fear of...whatever...and finally when you get to the map you need, you blow it.

Who thought it was a brilliant idea to have the qualifications assigned per map and not per match like how it always is, like how it actually WORKED IN THE PAST?

I dont know, i think the event is pretty cool and the prizes are quite nice too.
The thing i dislike is that the map rotation can very random against your favour and the obvious people cheating in the CW queue. Overall good rewards for good performance.

That's the thing, due to the map rotation, most players will get ZERO prizes. They'll have what would have been qualifying scores dozens of times, but because they are missing one map. Nada.

Ergo, the prizes are not quite nice. They are instead nonexistent.

[MaxFool]

Prizes are nice, better than ever. They are just also harder to get than before. I find it refreshing that for once you actually need good scores to get the prize, in every earlier event you just have needed to play a lot. Exactly because of random map rotation you also need to get those scores with good frequency, because there are maps you don't get many shots at.

Whole another thing is this CW scoring formula, which is simply stupid and promotes bad and selfish play style.

Ok been playing since around 1:30 this afternoon and stopped playing at a little after 11:00pm, stopped for about 1/2 an hour for dinner. Got forest colony once, we lost but I did really well an got a score of 402. I have all of the tier ones done except river city and viridian bog. I have only gotten those maps twice in all of the time I have been playing today, best match scores of 257 and 258. Oh well such is life in MWO I guess. Most of the matches were fun and the prizes are nice but that map rotation is a *****(insert female dog name).

[Meltegez]

I like the event. I enjoyed the matches during this event more than before, even if some are frustrating (viridian bog came along 3 times the last 3 days). But in general this event forced a lot of pilots to try and stick with the group so as to survive. Furthermore it made people to bring in their most damage dealing mechs and thus made most think twice before doing anything risky. The regular drops became more tactical and brutal. Imagine how more tactical the game would become if you had to repair your mech afterwards as well. Along with this we saw of course some people really angry...

I think that most of the complaints come from the fact the first thing that we players see when we finish a match is the kills-assists-damage and correlate this (especially the kills) to final score. But since the scoring system changed (for the better i 'd say) some believe that they are not rewarded for their effort.

But this event also proved that CW is broken, something we already knew. What some players did and climbed at the top of the CW leaderboard is just another proof of that. And if by doing so they made clear that CW is broken, then well done I say. Now if PGI gets the message that is another discussion. But this game is still a huge grinding fest, with or without such events, untill at least they implement the CW in a way that makes this game a strategic and tactical mech warfare game where decisions and logistics matter. Till then we will have the random fun.

[Wildstreak]

I understand people getting frustrated about not getting certain maps. I hardly ever saw Canyon.
I did have to add Conquest to my choices to even see it the few times I did.
I may have to add the European server tomorrow.

Seems I am fortunate, I got all maps at 300 and all but Canyon and Bog to 400. I get Bog plenty but the matches end with me just shy of 400.

No CW for me.

I would like to know if we can ever trade or gift away extra items we do not need. I already have 5 Hula Girls, if I get my last two 400, I will have 6. I have a few other things extra I do not need.

[dragnier1]

I'll be sitting out CW, no time left for that. So near and yet so far for tier 1, hopefully i can complete it.

[Perilthecat]

I'll preface by saying that I super enjoy these weekend events...

usually.

This one... just isn't fun. The RNG factor with the map drops is frustrating. The disconnects and Leeroys when people don't need the map is frustrating... It's a good effort, but it's definitely bringing out the worst in a lot of people.

Funny how many events do that. Why can't they just keep it simple?
