Thanks PGI, I'm having a blast in my TDK this weekend. I've even dolled up the most boring Hero camo in the game with some decals.

[MovinTarget]

I made my name with lights (literally).

I have seen many stationary lights during this event...

A stationary light tends to become permanently stationary if you catch my meaning.

Run in circles.

Rock back and forth.

Never stop movin!

Oh no, not with me...only a waste of time !

Very fun event for me anyways, just wishing I could be more consistent. LOL I'm starting to think piloting a light there is some luck involved haha.

I hear ya. Not sure if I can get 4 solo kills with my commando again before the event ends. Those magic games are hard to come by, especially running a mech that loses limbs when the enemy sneezes on you.

[Dee Eight]

Try playing the viper, it loses limbs if a bee crashes into them as you run through the bog.

So I tried. I really did. I ran an Oxide, a 2c and a spider non stop for 3 days. Low 100s on all 3 boards. Hmm, maybe I am not as good as I thought? Jumped into a tier 5 account. Two matches back to back in a squeaky new Jenner -k, unbasiced. 1003 damage the first one with 6 kmdds, 1027 the second with 5. Yep... Very balanced to the player base. Congrats to Shiax for doing so well on the spider though!! Great work bud!!

So you are exploiting the event great work , Cheater .
Everybody that does this should be removed from the event .

Well the prizes would go to their alt anyways. In all seriousness I don't think there would be a way to police this kinda activity. I would be more worried about alts sitting afk to farm enemy team. It's like ppl in units being on TS giving away positions. Sure you cant know it's happening and I'm sure it happens. But it's one of those things if you worry about, you'll start pulling your hair out.

I just try to do the best I can whatever is happening. But that darn BOG, every vote screen is starting to bogger me lol. It's not getting picked everytime, but its just there. Personally I would like to request that if they are running a leaderboard event, to have all maps on an equal rotation. PPl will pick what they want to play, anyways.

PS there are some places locusts cant walk backwards onto in Mining Colony Collective (lol have another map on my mind), but they can walk forwards onto. If you try to back up you get a rubber banding effect. It happens on every small crack and crevice. Which is a death trap in a lolcust. Like here for instance.



Im having alot of trouble reproducing this effect in Testing Grounds, I think it only happens on some weird leg position. But it sure happens, and on every small bump. At least that I have noticed. It's like colliding with a mech. Maybe it has something to do with HSR?? PSR??? what ever that rewind thingy is called. I dunno how it happens but there is something different in live matches.

Nope. I stopped after two rounds. I was merely confirming a theory. I don't want the rewards on my second account, I want them on my primary that actually has money and time invested. My second account is for helping train new players in our unit. It has less than the 25 training drops and only has a centurion 9-D and a brand new Jenner owned.

I do agree that using a second account should be considered some form of exploiting, but without a way to prove it, it would be very hard to enforce.

[JonDoeIowa]

Could we please see two things added to the event page.

1. In the scores, please mark which of our 10 matches are being counted, and a column listing the points we earned from that match.

2. I'd love to see the top ten matches of the others on the leader board by clicking their names. Want to see what I'm up against.

Thank you, and maybe some new IS lights soon?

[Dee Eight]

Just take an average of your total score and assume you need to beat that number to increase your overall ranking. I'm at 2159 pts for the kit fox right now for example, so I need to aim for 216 to increase my overall.

This would be helpful, because people can then get a better idea of what would work towards providing competition on the LeaderBoard.

Thx PGI
I'm havin fun

Heavies next week?
Assualts after dat?
Then Season 2?

[Dee Eight]

If they're gonna have each season be 1 month for the quick play leaderboard, there has to be some sort of reward for improving your season finish from the previous season, or something. Of course its obvious WHY they're doing 1 month seasons...they're trying to get the data metrics for how many quick games are being played and by how many players.

I see a sad thing today.
One of the player help another to get bigger DMG.
I ask him on global chat why he helping him, and he said he want to he get bigger score.
He has 1 dmg on that game.
It is sad because 1 dmg players is a good player.
And the player who get that free dmg is always on top 5 on any event.
Sad very sad.
But Perfect Game Industry do nothing....like always.

You mean like the "lets create an alt account and stomp tier 5's" who are pushing insane scores. I'd like them to make player statistics public to everyone. Leader boards don't count cause they reset.

[Luscious Dan]

OK so you create a new account, intentionally suck the first few dozen games until the PSR system stops jumping you up at an accelerated rate every time you put up a decent score, and when the next event comes along you get your leaderboard winnings (all $5 worth) injected into an alt account instead of your main one. Hardly seems like a worthwhile endeavor.

Honestly I'm not too worried about this stuff and I don't get why others are. If the prizes were huge, yeah people would game the system hard because it would be worth the effort. But if people are going to waste their time and energy trying to cheat the system for $5 worth of MC and some C-bills/GXP, then I say let them.

[Hunka Junk]

How often do they update that leaderboard?
