I've played around 40 games and still am missing two maps just for the basic challenge. I GOT one of them, but somehow 4 kills and 400 damage wasn't enough to get a score of 300 (3 of them solo kills). I guess I need to not core them out so quickly?

Can PGI seriously not design a challenge that's, you know, CHALLENGING and not just irritating? I was excited about this one at first because 300 is not trivial to get like most but having to get it on each individual map is just ridiculous.

Just disconnect and start a new match.
The one thing PGI did correct in this event was count disconnects. Until they didn't.
Now this event is total fubar, and players are dropping matches as soon as they see the map.

The only irritating part I found with the vent is getting those 1 or 2 maps you're missing to finish it up.

[Agent 0 Fortune]

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

i am missing 2 maps on 1 of them i got 295 on the other 297
this is the first time this game has had me shouting at my monitor for the incompetence (not realy incompetence but afraid to take damage and pasive play..) of my team.. it sucks not getting 300+ if u did 500 damage...

we lost misarably that game ofc..

I haven't seen that much but I'm not going to be a douche to my team. Though I think I might if I get caustic one more time...especially in a Dire Wolf.

this challenge should really be named the "dakka" tourny since most of the games im seeing assaults get that 300-400 while alot of med, lights and heavies barely get into the upper 200 range.

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

That could be from people trying to game the event though, this happens every event, quality is about as low as MWO gets.

I think the reverse is happening actually.

I've been playing since the event started yesterday and I still have yet to see HPG even once.

So yeah, this event sucks a hard one.

If it wasn't for the RNG of needing a specific map it wouldn't be so bad. I have the Tier 2 of every map so public queue BUT HPG.

Seriously?

I'm up in the knees with tryhards in my matches. As soon as one weakness is exposed, they are on it like flies on Scheiße.

I have HPG way too much. Spoiler the team that takes the top (protected from arty, air, uav) wins.
It is as **** map in pug teams.

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.

In group queue, some stomp are so quick and hard only one guy gets over 300 in the winning team :/ Im trying solo now, i hope it;s not as bad.

Well, I'm familiar with how the solo queues work (they suck). They suck somewhat less in an event.

I'm sure it's PSR related, but the quality of play is noticeable.

Solo is not bad as long as you pack plenty of spread weapons such as dakka and lasers, and treat your pugmates as red-shirts. Oh, and use consumables like an Arabian Sheikh. Sure you might get C-Bills deficits in some matches, but all for the sake of completion!
