Ok, so I was all excited about this event, but after a few matches with 2 kill, 6 assists and 400 damage, I am still below 300.

I am also piloting a light mech, so once again the light mechs get the short end of the stick, unless you are a DPS machine or slightly graze every mech to get 8+ assists you are punished.

Stupid event is stupid.

4 kills, 4 assist 350 damage = 200 match score, while 0 kills, 8 assist, 570 damage = 400 match score.

quess which mech you need for this ? ))) its not one-sided nooooooooooooo

Get out of solo mode and play CW. 200 points in CW is really not difficult, even if you lose. It's only 6 maps and the rewards are higher.

Edit: As Titannium suggested, Streaks will be pretty good for getting high damage easily.

No mech is in a better position to graze the entire enemy team than a light mech,

I would rather just not get the rewards than play CW in its current state.

Event is not well done. Have to play non stop to get a good chance on all maps. For a casual player this is not possible.

Make events easier to get for casuals, by casual i mean 3-4 hours a day, but rewards smaller so more people can achieve something and not just be frustrated.

Wait, ur a light which automatically gives you 600+ damage...you don't take damage and therefore one of the last mechs standing which gives you a lot more time to achieve a higher match score.

This is probably a test to see what is hands down the best way to get really good damage and results (wins have more assists).

If they were completely honest less folks would try at the level I am seeing. The more people that use the OP builds and aggressive play the higher the bar becomes until the end of the event. (note you can be aggressive at range too - pressure vs peeking)

I have been involved in amateur cycling for decades now and for hundreds of hours of training and expensive entry fees/travel an individual in a non elite/pro tier may get a ribbon if the rng gods of flat tires/etc does not hit. The majority of competitors are there to perform at their best regardless of rewards. It is also an obvious sink hole for money and time that everybody happily accepts. Something to think about.

[Pocket_Aces]

So as an experiment, I took out my LRM Warhawk, and bingo 400+ match score. So we all know what we need to do, right?

Also, I am not a let's sit back and snipe with a light, I scout, pop UAV's and try to target mechs for my team, which usually means you do FA damage and not many assists.

I like MWO, and I mean, REALLY like it, but sometimes the events they run just baffle me. So not to be too hard on the good folks at PGI.

[Destro1000]

My issue is I have already put in over 30 matches and I have yet to drop on 2 of the maps... maybe another 30 will do the trick.

[Wolfwood592]

The random map drop is getting a little frustrating.....that's about it for me though.

Good luck Destro it took me about 75 matches before I was dropped onto HPG manifold once.

Everyone needs HPG :/

I just finished the CW part and it was a painful process. One match really bugged me: 4 kills, 1800 damage, all mechs dead because the enemy team farmed us (they need the point too, so I see why they did it). I got a match score of 266. This basically means that if you lose, you won't get the point since you'll need a lot more damage and/or solo kills to up your matchscore. I'll try the public queue later, I hope that will be less painful to achieve.
