https://mwomercs.com/tournaments

Starts: FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 25th 10:00:00 AM (PDT) (5:00 PM UTC)
Ends: TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 30th 11:59:49 PM (PDT) (October 1st at 6:59:59 AM UTC)

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS:
Greetings MechWarriors,

Between September 25th and 30th you'll earn an additional 50,000 C-Bills per qualifying match if you achieve the Minimum Match Score!

Public Queue Minimum Match Score: 300
Community Warfare Minimum Match Score: 200
You can earn these extra C-Bill rewards up to 20 times per weight class in the Public Queue, for a total of 4,000,000 reward C-Bills if you're able to achieve 20 eligible matches in each of the four weight classes!

For Community Warfare, you can earn these extra C-Bill rewards up to 40 times overall and your reward limit is not tied to weight class. You simply need to hit 40 eligible CW matches to qualify for the maximum amount of 2,000,000 extra C-Bill rewards.

That's a good chunk of C-Bills, so if you haven't yet hit the 100-match requirement for inclusion under the 2015 Active Player Reward, this weekend will be a lucrative opportunity to bridge the gap!

Marauder Collection owners (of any tier) will also receive a reward of 5 MC per qualifying match in addition to the C-Bill reward, up to a maximum of 600 MC! The Public Queue and Community Warfare Queue count toward the same maximum amount of achievable MC.

The Early Adopter Reward deadline for the Marauder ends on September 30th at 11:59:59 PM PDT (October 1st at 6:59:59 AM UTC), so grab your Marauder Collection now to maximize your rewards.

IMPORTANT INFO:

Accounts that engage in non-participation or other violations of the CoC, such as (but not limited to) intentional disconnects or suicides, may be subject to moderation and/or reward disqualification.
Event Rewards will be injected by October 2nd at 7:00 PM PDT (October 3rd at 2:00 AM UTC).
Maximum amount of Event Reward C-Bills achievable in the Public Queue: 4,000,000 C-Bills
Maximum amount of Event Reward C-Bills achievable in the Community Warfare queue: 2,000,000 C-Bills
Maximum amount of Event Reward MC achievable by Marauder owners (combined across both queues): 600 MC
The bonus C-Bills acquired during the event will be awarded to your account upon completion of the event.

Another grind event. I'm just gonna level up my Assaults--forget about the measly sum they are offering for 300 points. Last event took me 86 matches, but this one will need at least 100-150 matches to complete.

Besides, 4 million is far less impressive than the 6 million from the last event + the 5 million from tutorials.

The event name is pretty telling; Payback.

PGI: - "This is what you get because you whined so much about the last event - more grind! MUAHAHAHAHAAAAA!"

600MC max for Maurader Pack owners, and only a "50k" C-bill bonus per qualifying match (capped @ 4 million if you bother grinding 20 matches per weight class)...

Paulconomy strikes again.

it's implying you want to play 80 300+ score games 20 in lights, 20 in mediums, 20 in heavies, 20 in assaults and also that you want to play 40 cw 200+ score games then you get those 600mc

no thanks

300 match score can be achieved without trying in a heavy or assault. Problem is with all the dimwits that flock in on weekends isn't worth it for 50k.

why the whine already?!

if your already planning to play this weekend, just take it as extra cbills per match. it doesnt really matter if you failed to get the 4million total awards, it's free cbills per game.

There are many previous events that gave people far more than that. That's what makes this one insulting.

The Blood Money event gave at least 3 times that in C-bills.

So... there's no real good reason to do this other than being a total masochist or not having anything better to do.

Yes and no.

From some study, CW scoring is "Match score / # mechs used", so:

1 mech = 200 / 1
2 mechs = 400 / 2
3 mechs = 600 / 3
4 mechs = 800 / 4

At least one mech needs a good damage run to support any failed attack pushes.

So...should we take this to mean PGI doesn't understand the reason people were doing that during the last event? Because I don't see any reason why people would be doing it during this one.
