Random maps? pfft. 21 matches and 1 viridian bog. 14 HPG and Crimson Straight.

Dont forget to show your support by buying the next grab deal.

[RoboPatton]

Played since getting up this AM, saw the last two maps I needed maybe 3 times with swept teams every time.

Seriously had canyon at least 12-15 times today. 4 or 5 times in a row, a couple of times.

I quit the event. Too frustrating.

[MischiefSC]

Got all the pug queue tier 1 and 2 requirements over about 2 days of play, maybe 70 drops, maybe 80.

Now the CW requirements.... I'm not sure I'll even have each map one time by the 22nd.

[Team Chevy86]

That doesn't equal 21. You've got it better than most, blame the RNG gods

[BLOOD WOLF]

I bought a M pack just to make myself feel better. There was no way I was even going to try to get a high score.

I'm the opposite to you, did all my CW in one night, but cannot get the right maps at all for the pub

I pretty much live on Hellbore and Emerald Taiga. That's it. I've gotten 1 match on the others as a given rule.

Weird, I haven't had Canyon at all in the 20 ish matches I've played.

You need to buy the pwomise of pixels to feel better... damn...

[SolCrusher]

I'm getting teams that suck on every map that I need.

[Kira Onime]

Got done with the event within a couple of hours.

[Wayreth]

Not to mention all the farming being done. Top CW has 11k which is statistically impossible unless you drop with a sympathetic clan

Not only RNG maps not showing up, but also matches over far too quickly, even if they are not stomps in either direction. You simply do not have opportunity to do the damage required to attain the score.

I've not dropped on Caustic yet, and that normally shows up all the time for me (I'm actually normally ok with that, since I usually do fairly well on it).

I've got T2 on 3 maps. Guess which 3 maps keeps coming up for me...

I have the opposite problem, I mostly get viridian bog. Please note, I don't believe this is PGIs fault. A random number generator on a server does not ensure the client (player) receives a list a numbers, set of events, maps in this case, that are random.

Many years ago, I wrote up a discussion to talk about how some WoW toons are lucky and some are not, same sort of thing.

Math is fun, but a pain in the A$$ when applied to the real world.

Tried all day yesterday and now today for Emerald. Seen it once yesterday and once today. Both times we got swept. Every other game we have been just on a roll.

Seriously not being able to weight the map you need is just horse kaka.

[MischiefSC]

Look, you need to end the match with 1200+ and on your first two mechs. That gets you the score toy need.

A number of people and units did some exploiting, both in group and cw queue. They're getting sorted and audited. I'm normally the last to cry 'cheater' but I've seen (and reported) some of that too. Supposedly PGI is aware and has been monitoring and it'll all be addressed.

No worries, play and have fun and lose to Davion. Best recommendation I can give.

[RustyBolts]

The worst part is that as the weekend continues, the scores are harder to come by because we have so many players sandbagging trying to boost their scores. This has the effect of screwing the rest of the team, causing them to not get their scores.

I'll not be participating. I got a 400 on Forest Colony and then I read you need all qualifying maps and if I'm right then I don't need to spend 10 hours trying to get a 400 on the rest.

I think this was a poorly thought out event.

[Nightmare1]

I really hope PGI learns from this Event. It's been miserable.
