Is PGI going to do anything punitively about the rampart DCing and Suiciding that this challenge has lead to? Every single game has 2-5 tonight. Games are decided by a lottery of which team has less quitters. I stink and have no shot at winning anything, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna leave my team hanging, even on the very few maps I actually already have.

Edit - yes, I know I know... report them. If I did that, every single game would take another 3-4 minutes while I sent another report in. Would get tedious. It's gotta be easy enough for PGI to look at the stats and see the ******** DCing at start, or suiciding into the out of bounds.

im more concerned that some factions gerrymandered the CW leader board.

I don't give a crap about CW. If it didn't suck, maybe I would.

Played all night tonight- dozen or so games.
Only ONE DC and he reconnected quickly.

DCs were not the problem tonight, the astoundingly poor play was the problem.

Maybe they were the suiciders the OP was talking about?

DC and suiciders seem to be more concentrated in certain servers than others.
I heard the worst one is European.

Spoken like a true tryhard. Ever play anything besides gauss vomit?

The random map cycle really is pissing people off.

The event needed a score pool for x amount of games rather than individual map scores.

Maybe a better way for them do it is to just run 1 map only and cycle to a new one every half hour, and thats it until the event ends. Gives better odds of getting onto a map you want, and at least you know you'll get to all of them.

CW was even harder to land on the maps you needed.

I saw Sulferous Rift 10 times IN A ROW, then 1 Grim Portico, then Sulferous Rift 5 more times in a row, then emerald, then Vitric Forge 8 times in a row, then Boreal vault, then a mix of Sulferous Rift Vitric for the next 5 games..

Every game I would play, I'd get the invasion phase, then next game.. same map.. counterattack.

Such a mess, I hate random.

And then they pulled the disconnect rule, and all hell broke loose.

thats more of a general issue with cw than something particularly wrong with the event. im pretty sure most units are using this event to farm more than usual. and i cant blame them, average skill of players has dropped significantly so they can pretty much grab any mechs they can get their hands on and own the game. of course most of them dont, they bring their competition mechs and go to town. some of them at least have the decency to end the game quickly so we can try again.

the regular pugs in cw (the ones who play cw a lot and can hold their own against some 12 mans) are one thing. but the tourist pugs who are only playing for the event, run un-mastered lerm boats and trial mechs and dont even understand the rules of the game modes are something else. they get mixed in with the more serious pugs and everyones score suffers for it. you cant teach them anything, they will spend the whole game arguing that their incorrect interpretation of the rules is superior to yours. then the farmers come in on their meta combines and mows everyone down. dont be a carrot.

cw needs a mechanism to kill farming, give an alternative that is more rewarding. scoring can also use some improvement as well. throw this event on top of those broke systems and you got a mess much like what we have now.

They need to instigate a 'Deserter' tag to a players account if they purposely DC during an event, preventing them from joining any game for +-30 minutes if they don't rejoin within X minutes of the game starting

Works well in other games

Come Monday they're going to have a Bad Time.

I expect the leaderboards, both of them, to change.
