Match score 249

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I had a CW match last night of 198. Fun, quick match. But...daaaannng.

[Wing 0]

got some really good amount of MC and Cbills overall so far. Still havnt finished it al but I enjoy the fact there are games to be played.

This Event stinks!
Matchsore 250...pff. Who should win this, when all you get for 1 Kill, severall assists, 300 dmg an some other thing in a boaring DAKA-Mech ist a Matchscore of 230!
Just one of this "Premade-Meta-Mech-Events", since changing the new Matchescore-system, again,

How about Norbert-Normalplayer? Is he, in the PGIs view, not worth to get the bag?
Thinking about giving my Wammy-Package back

Asking to refund a purchase... because the free things they are giving you now that have nothing to do with the Warhammer itself... are too difficult to earn?

Anyway it's funny, I have literally 1 match in the 200s since the event started. A few awful roflstomp losses with below 200 scores, and the remainder are all 350-650.

Appealing events like this one bring many players out of the woodwork, both good pilots and questionable ones who insist on staring down a Dire Wolf from 600m... when they are in an Adder with 3x MPL and 2x SSRM2...

Yeah walk forwards and backwards in a straight line, directly towards and away from that Dire Wolf. That'll sure throw off his aim with those dual gauss rifles.

Events like these bring out the bad habits and meta builds that totally change gameplay.

Last night was nothing but T-bolts, Cheetahs, Timberwolves and SCrows with a constant LRMing rain.

Sadly, this is one of the few times I see people dust off my beloved HBK-4J's...

I think I'll wait until the end of the event to work at rewards, when 50% of the damage I take is friendly fire, it's time to take a break.

[Rotteck Koempel]

To Dan:
Think about the future of this game, when your are talking ******** about the mayority of players also paying for your game.
Do you think you can handel it without them?

Before the Matchescore Change 80Pts are enough and to handel! But now...

As someone who can usually nail 250 no problem, let me play devil's advocate here...

The holiday events, Halloween, Xmas, etc, tend to be giveaways, traditionally. The RNG of the grab bag itself is the event, the fun is in just playing and getting free stuff for showing up, because they're holidays that are based on....wait for it...getting free stuff just for showing up.

We have all sorts of other challenges, events, and tournaments that have a higher skill requirement, and that's also fine, that's their whole point, to reward those that take the time and effort to figure out how to game the system, or the few who happen to actually be decent.

So I fully get all the complaints. You give people free stuff on a holiday event one year, or several years, then suddenly change the event, people will notice, people will complain.

My only personal complaint is just how random the RNG for the bags really is... I remember getting Premium time early in every other grab bag style event I've done, thus making the whole event worth it for me. Get Premium early, then the rest of it's not so bad a grind, you're making CBills.

Thus far I've gotten GXP, which I need less than a flamer or single HS, those you can at least sell....and some ugly cockpit items, along with a small amount of CBills. In my neighborhood, PGI would be the house the trick or treaters go back to later and TP, for giving out health food instead of candy. If I get a free Timby, and even 1 day premium, I'll be absolutely thrilled. Short of that, I'll have wasted a weekend I could have been playing games that have bigger, better Halloween events.

(The underlined portion is what PGI should care about....if they throw lackluster holiday events, where other games go all out on freebies and extras, they're hurting themselves, not me as a player.)

Getting 250 in a pug that isn't a stomp seems to be pretty difficult. You either have to play a very heat efficient Sniper, or you need to bait your teammates something awful. I don't think I've dropped with anyone in this thread claiming 250 a norm, but from my experience, unless a Mech is just in the right situation at the right time, you need to survive to rack up points, and you need to let your time go first (regardless of your build) to survive. This doesn't really encourage good gameplay. But, who knows. Maybe you're all part of pugs that have higher IQ than mine do.

[Sardunos]

Looks like they lowered the requirement from 250 to 150.

[Nekkriss]

Looks like the requirements changed, check your tabs I got a few sub 200 point games saying they are eligible .

Much appreciated PGI

/bitchfest off

[Supah]

Thank you PGI. Actually, that's pretty awesome. Still haven't gotten it; 33 + 25 free pulls, no dice, haha. But, more hope was good.

[lkjreaperl]

Thankx PGI !!! 150 Public and 100 CW ... Its loveee !!!

[Kodyn]

Smart choice, majority of players will be happy, looks good for PGI.

On the other hand, RNJesus still hates me....more Coolant and CBills from my extra games that now qualify...

Not PGI's fault there though, I have never had good luck.

[DaFrog]

I was going to ***** whine and moan about the match score being lowered to NOVA with mg matchscore level.... but it jsut gave me the TBR- C....... Thanks for that. Done playing for now.. might come back later.

[Tjalf Goransson]

Looks like all the whiny-whiny finally had effect.

[Mike McSullivan]

Thank you very much for the lowering of the needed points!
...and thank yu for the Timberwolf...

[Frosty Bits]

Ohh WOW second game into this and received the grand prize already ..Me likes

[QuulDrah]

there is an error apparently?
tournament page say i just won an "Improved UAV"
account insertion gives me an "Advanced UAV"

one would be 40k c-bills, the other one MCs...

[The Boneshaman]

be nice if it would stop giving priority air/arty strike and uav trash. rather get the cbills or mc. the mech bay and timby would be nice
