Seriously pgi! a score of 300 is too much! 200-230 is a good score by playing as a team.

In ancient event, we had 150 matchscore with a much easier and much more reward.
And now with a new 300 matchscore much harder and less reward system

You probably want that we get less c.bill to buy us with more and more money

it sucks !!!

Frankly if you continue like this, you go straight into the wall
... And I'm going to the exit ...

i went through many matches already but a lot of the matches in which i had done more than 300 points of damage are not showing up in the recorded matches. i still haven't seen my 600 damage matches and assault mech's record updated either.

Question:

Does it show the Marauder MCs for everyone, even if you havent bought a Marauder pack?

Just had a match where I pulled 412 damage, 4 kills, 4 assists, and got a match score of 291. So 20 more damage would have gotten me there, what a load of crap. This event is really annoying me. Based entirely on how much damage you deal not on how much you play as a team.

Meanwhile I just had a match with 452 damage, 0 kills, and 6 assists, and got 356 points in my (F)Hunchie

Gotta use those UAVs man. And all the point bonuses for lance in formation, etc... they add up!

Just an FYI, it is 300 match score, not 300 damage.

One thing I think should be implemented in future events is the idea of double or triple scores. If the minimum needed is 300 and you score 600, you should get double the credit. 900 or 1200? 3 or 4 times. That way if you have a really, really good match you can go away, do something else with your weekend and let other people get some damage in.

the prize is to low for events just my opinion ........

I agree totally... and heres why:

This time around I actually found Light mech challenge to be easier to do. I was constantly getting 300-600 match points. With everyone packing so heavy for the event (just to get enough dmg done) I got plenty of assists in each game, UV detection, artillery etc. "collateral" dmg and a kill or two, just enough to get so high points. Or maybe its just me and im so used to playing a light mech better than all the others.

Unfortunately that meant in order to succeed with the points, i had to burn 40k worth of credits pretty much every map, sometimes 80k if using artillery. Which means the gain from the event was not worth it at all. (Unless you own the marauder pack). Unfortunately like with all point based events, the weight distribution for public games makes normal playing boring too as people only bring mechs that deal enough dmg. Everyone is either using missiles or long range weaponry and not even assaults move into the open like they normally would.

I tried my best with other weight classes, but when match score is so heavily based on dmg, it was pure luck to gain enough making it really frustrating to even try. Especially with assaults, most often i was too late to the party to cause enough dmg. With other weight classes, many games ended up with 5 kills, 4 assists but not enough dmg.. max 280 points. Clearly I have the wrong playing style for this game if dmg is all that matters.

[Mordynak]

The only way I have been able to get 300 is by using the 5SS.

I somehow managed to get one whilst using the Firestarter, even though we lost and i did nothing...

you have to put too much effort for the result.

you should do TEAM BASE event not SELFISH one

Example: if the TEAM score is 2500+ all 12 team members got credit

2500 / 12 = 208.33333333333333333

OR

By lance.... if the lance score is 1000+ (1000 / 4 = 250) then the 4 players got credit

Or you can also do it with a Team AVERAGE Score

^this! would. be. incredibly good!!!

reward teamplay instead of the one guy in a high damage mech (e.g. me in a mauler doing 800+ damage by not playing with the team at all currently gets more score/CBills/XP, than me playing an ecm raven scurrying around our heavies. barely breaking 200 damage, but contributing to the team)

technically one could just add an additional source to the existing matchscore...

individual_match_score_as_presently_calculated
+ (total_team_score/12)
+ (total_lance_score/4)
---------------------------------
end result

where total_XY_score would be tallied up by taking the individual_match_score_as_presently_calculated

PS: good point by sortek: multiply with zero if player disconnects

It's so simple... maybe it needs to be modified a little bit though.

I don't want to carry people, so maybe add the condition that company/lance members reach X amount of personal points. Not an insane amount, but enough to show that they participated. Otherwise I can see a lot of DCing happening.

[Commander A9]

Meh; I'm not off to pursue getting 20 matches in every class for only 50,000 C-Bills-sorry. Not enough cash prize for me, especially with a match score threshold that's too high for my taste.

I'll stick to Community Warfare, thank you.

Thats back to random. Cause whining will start when u have Disconnect-Player and stupid bad acting/aiming Player on your Teamside.

[PT1]

Hmm... I seem to have a few matches with match score >300 not showing up in the event page. Anybody else experiencing this?

we already have "Disconnect-Player and stupid bad acting/aiming Player" even when there is no event going on.............

And I am pretty sure that only 9, 10 or 11 players can do 2500 score.

and PGi can eliminate all disco and non participating player like in the current event

I agree that 300 is too much, at least for lights. But as I didn't give a rats arse about this event due to the frustration in the previous one I chose to level my MLX. After about 20 games I had 5 matches that qualified. First time I played lights so I didn't expect more. I don't think this event was such a bad one, cos in my opinion rewards was so low that there were no point to chase them. So at least I didn't screw the team play up for this reason. In other hand if the rewards would have been better then I surely would have brought my HBR and prolly qualified 95% of the games and at the same time ditched team play.

My 2 cents...

[freud2b]

Please lengthen the event! too long, not enough temp and not much reward :/ or change matchscore public at 200 .
