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.


It is not just CW...

You sir, are having some strange matches then, and I commend you on your extreme good luck. I'm used to seeing bad matches on weekends and events in general, so I just can't pick out if this one is any different because of PSR, or if it's just the usual stuff.


I'm seeing similar results to Deathlike.


All of my solo matches have been really competitive (good thing).

I'm seeing a lot of aggression, and movement and less static play with good damage spreads across the team.


When my team loses, I'm seeing poor damage spreads or I can pinpoint the teamwide mistakes that were made in the match that caused the loss. (Like playing static, or watching players run off on their own, or fan out in a wide pattern at the start, etc).

i was meant to say, if you did that in the solo, queue (which I doubted) then I am impressed.




Getting the required match scores is often easier for me in the solo queue because I don't have to compete with my friends/unit.

Just had a game where no one on the winning team made 400.

......wow.

That was a 12-4 victory.

That's what happens when a team plays cohesively, focuses fire and all of the players are of roughly similar skill.

Sucks when you need 400 for a challenge and may only see a map once in 6 hours.

It sucks when your team has a good skill spread?

The opposite is people complaining when they have to carry.


Which is preferable? PSR actually working or having a bigger lotto on your team mates and having to carry the match?


The only part that is bad is the lotto element to the maps, but this challenge goes until Tuesday - so there is still time.

Again, if you only see a map once ever few HOURS yeah, having a good spread is a hindrance.

You are upset that you are getting good teams and winning.


There is no satisfying some people.

I'm upset I have to waist MORE time to get that map again, yes.

For me....

Posted Image

I hate the 12 man games, I really do because nothing has changed in years... I had 7/9 maps done on friday... it took me a day to get forest colony (had map 6 times) still working on Caustic (had map about 8 times since friday)

I was already not happy with mwo before this event... but I stick around becuse I spent money on the game this year because I thought it was starting to head in the right direction...
But now... Lesson learned... never spend on F2P games... a F2P game is always wrecked by the "this sounds like a good idea" idiocracy.

So rediculous that I must intentionally be terrible to lower my tier to a place where I am likely to see terible players to blow to bits for points... not easy getting 400 when you have 2 teams that murder each other in 2 minutes and barely anyone breaks 300 points...

Then play better than the rest of your team and score 400.

Nothing is "forcing" you to "waste" more time aside from your expectation that you deserve a prize.



The challenge lasts until Tuesday, maybe take a break?

I gave up on the challenge after about 10 matches.
This kind of challenge encourages people to just suicide towards the end.
