u weren't poking the corner u were *********** in it. and no matter what size mech u use u dont ride someones ass especially if ur in a slow assault. mwo like real life u keep a distance between u and the guy in front in case u need to back up then regardless of momentum. i would say common knowledge but u dont seem to get that.

I didn't ride anyones ass. You walked passed me as I was pulling out and then got your ass shot off, which would have happened whether I was behind you or not considering you poked out into a 3v1
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hurt my wrist banging on my desk when I scored only 297 on a map I hadn't yet qualified on.

3 kills (2 of them solo kills), 7 assists ... and 297 match score.

Apparently PGI wanted me to inefficiently strip down the enemies' armor before I killed them.

Going to take a Lurmtaro now and see whether spamming missiles accrues sufficient damage to get me a 300 match score. For shame.

I reckon PGI should make it 'sum of best match scores' threshold instead to avoid the 'I just need this last map'.

So sum of best match scores across all maps over 2700 for tier 1 and 3600 for tier 2 (average 400 across each map)
And sum of best match scores 1200 for tier 1 CW and 1800 for tier 2 CW. It'd allow really good play on one map to overcome not seeing another map, and help a LOT with the CW grind!

I get its a little against the spirit of 'do well in ALL maps' but... it'd be a lot nicer!

I got only 399 points on forest colony despite 3-4 kills 7 assists and 501 damage.

I keep getting 290 on river city. Last one I didn't get the last 10 because some fat **** got in front of my lasers.

Sigh. Why can't each 300 score per map have a reward?

Or they could give us proportional rewards for the amount of the Challenge we completed, and there'd be little need for any of us to stress

I honestly thought that population would support PSR, I was wrong, horribly wrong. The match quality has taken a nose dive in this event.

Get out of the solo queue as soon as possible.

Get into group queue.

[Charronn]

This event ain't worth my time.
Too many try hards and weekend warriors.
The rewards not worth bothering with.I shall enjoy my weekend by doing something else.
PGI thanks but no thanks.

I found all the ECM pretty ******* stupid too.

Nothing wrong with the ECM. Its all the LRM boats coming out of the woodwork that triggered it.

If you need any proof of impending LRMageddon when ECM is nerfed, one need only look at how most pub games are since the challenge started.

[MechWarrior414712]

That feeling when you're like 1-10 points away from 400 on a map

Bonus points; no longer feel like playing dires/timbers

Challenge weekends usually involve a lot of running ECM for me, since I refuse to LRM, ever.

Well, this tryhard is almost done...

I finally got Tourmaline Desert, and I'm just short 6 points...

Its IMBECIL.

Guess I'm the best solo player if you cared enough to reply?

It's not particularly hard to get the scores, what's hard is getting the maps. My Viridian Bog didn't count even though we roflstomped them and I had the highest score on the team with 4 kills, 2 assists, 400 damage.
I like that you actually have to try instead of just pull the trigger twice on a high alpha 'mech, but this is silly.

Idk. 2 alphas from the meta whale is enough to rip off torsos from heavies and lower mechs.

[Weeny Machine]

This event is terrible. Why? Simply because it is pure luck to get the right map.

However, matters get worse because those factors need to be considered as well:
1. your team should not be too good or you will have a hard time to get your points
2. the enemy team should not be too bad or you will have a hard time to get your points
3. not 1/3 of your team "disconnects" because it is not the map they need or you will have a hard time to get your points
4. not 1/3 of enemy team "disconnects" because it is not the map they need or you will have a hard time to get your points
5. you need to do well (with points 1-4 in mind)

Hey, that wouldn't be a problem IF you had a fair chance to get the right map. I haven't see Crimson Straits for example for 1,5 days! The chance to get that map is 1:8.

Now to make things even more fun the deadline is Tuesday. Why not Thursday? But anyway... it seems there is so little thought put into the events and the consequences which stem from the rule sets it is abominable.

What exactly is the "challenge" here? Patience? Not wanting to deinstall the game? Not showing a certain company the middle finger? Not cancelling the pre-orders for mechs?

I can since I have been dropping with Kira from time to time over the Event.

Kira is a mighty fine pilot and I have learned a thing or two from just watching him play.

If you want to find who is cheating, abusing, or exploiting the event, just look at CW leaderboard. PGI is already looking at them, maybe we can get another round of ban's really soon.
