Aimbots usage too... i had back to back game deaths from headshots, both from assault mechs while I was in motion. .

[LordLosh]

Some of these players are putting in work... I cant keep up in one mech let alone multiple. I see a few players hold top 5 in 2 or 3 different mechs. Thats just insane to me but i guess when you are good you are good. Still would like to see this as a solo event only some of these scores makes me wonder really hard.

[Dee Eight]

no...they're not that good...there is wholesale organised cheating going on.

For many months now my account AiJuan (Known as Altairsoul now by who stole it) was stolen from me and I don't know how to get it back. I tried Support but it has been many months since I heard from them and the last thing that was discussed was an email change that I did not allow or perform. Please can someone help me get my account back I spent money on it and I am a founder. I don't know who to turn to anymore.

Others have told you this already... EMAIL SUPPORT... nobody in the forums can help you.

No cathy...but given the event Score Formula: (Solo Kill x 30) + (Kill Most Damage x 20) + (Killing Blow x 10) + ( Kill Assist x 10) + (Win × 10) + (Loss × 5) + (Survive × 10) + (Dead × 5) + ((Damage done - Team Damage) ÷ 15)

scores in the 4-5k range... for a best ten matches... in 12 vs 12 games, where there can be more than four assaults per team (I've seen up to eight), and NONE of the top scorers are being encountered in the solo queue...its pretty obvious to anyone who thinks about it, that there is game rigging (which according to the event rules is considered cheating) going on.

I found a flaw in the scoring formula...it has no allowance for tie games.

See I had this win, in my devil dinosaur...



Which I thought terrific, there's 313 points for the scoreboard... gonna be hard to reasonably top that.... then this happened...



And it occurred to me, I've never seen a tied conquest game before...and...there's no scoring for the leaderboard for tie games....

So i've got 347 points from damage, survival and kills.... but is it a loss ? then I have 352. Or a win ? 357... HELLO PGI staff !

wait, the anniversary Zeus is on sale, but is it out for c-bills yet?

[Featherwood]

Those events, my "dear PGI", are damned freak shows. Had never seen so much rеtаrds in one place as in the MWO's PUG queue during PGI's "free stuff" events.
All my friends had said "f...k you" to MWO and especially to PGI few years ago and only myself is dumb enough to return here time to time. Sigh... game of childhood damn it. I regret again s-o-o-o much that this incompetent bunch of rascals (except mr. Alex Iglesias of course, who is undeserved treasure of the cursed PGI) laid their hands over glorious MW franchise, "thanks" to Microsoft for being so greedy I suppose.

No... not for a couple months yet. It only showed on the gift store 3 weeks ago.

The funny thing is I am still in top 75 for Victors even though i only just bought them and at this moment only 2 have full basic...

Seeing as i don't consider myself a great assault pilot and the scores i get in these things are mediocre at best, it makes me wonder if efficiencies simply do nothing to help these chassis, there is a general lack of interest in Victors, or their scoring potential is just that bad...

...or all of the above?

I'd say lack of interest. I barely did anything in it and shot up the board.

[Dee Eight]

Game quality is going downhill as the euros queue up... i just had a conquest game full of english/irish/scottish accents...and they were all skirmishing....which might be okay on a small map...but not polar highlands where the caps are 2kms apart and we are down on points. We of course...lost. Only ONE assault pilot had his eye on the point of the mode and was capping...and he was in a direwolf....

[Krucilatoz]

Are this going to be "nerf collection data" for PGI??

Average mech will have score like 3000 - 3500 on leaderboards. Strong mech has 4000 score, such as BLR. And Kodiak,.. yes, that thing rule with 5000+ score.

Dont be too agressive on your play boys.. otherwise your favourite mech get nerfed and you rage quit

[paws2sky]

Big events are... yeah. I haven't seen anything fishy so far, but some of those Leaderboard scores are incredible.

My main concern right now is which anti-meta assault mech to pick up for c-bills: Awesome, Victor, or Zeus? Then, which variants?

Ok, maybe you, dear devs did fix group farming via fixing queue, but LRM problem is still here - STK, MAL, AWS, BLR - 95% sure then top-5 of those are LRMs or group-farmed players. Its LRM-madness there...

I know some excellent players (I suck, but I tried this as well), stayed on for a few hours and tried to play the AWS-8Q for the leaderboards.

We quit. There's no way an 8Q was going to perform as consistently a BLR-2C, for instance. And if it was LPL based, too little range to survive trades, if PPC, not enough damage to get those vaunted solo kills for "score".

Got upto ~1800 without problems, just casually, could have gone to 2000+ at most. But I noticed that the top scores were around 3000, just quit.

A lot of the AWS leaderboard must be LRM boats in the 8R, which is ez mode as far as LRM boats go. (LRM60 with enough tubes, 30%+ cooldown on the LRM15)

If it matters, that 2000+ score would take 10 matches all over 750-800 damage since it was that hard to get solo kills (atleast for us).

The STK scores could have been put up by a competent player in a 4N/5S. The BLR scores came 101% from the BLR-2C. Not sure about the Mauler, but the 1P and MX90 are still great mechs. And the 2P has some crazy energy quirks.

Feels very much like this is easily the most pointless weekend to play in months unless you're in one of the six to seven assaults in almost every match. Waiting times in a light/medium are shockingly bad. Playing assaults seems to demonstrate peoples worst instincts in many cases and either you come across a team stacked with EmP etc in great fits/mechs... or people that seem to have no idea how to play an assault (solo charging in their invulnerable mech or avoiding combat). Last battle we had 2 assaults, 2 heavy, 2 meds and a light fighting their whole team with good intel passed, multiple uav's shot down, holding eleven mechs down ..... while five assaults slowly capped and chased a single mech. Two of the assaults eventually joined us as we finished dying. The last three amusingly never got a kill despite full armour and the rest of the team having hammered them. Next game an assault pilot starts complaining about EU players talking too much when we were 9-2 up - every word had been calling targets or enemy mechs/locations... rather makes me wonder what the US servers are like - do they have a vow of silence/non-cooperation/non-focus firing?

[MovinTarget]

As a counterpoint to a lot of the assumptions here, i know one of the top-5 stalker players pretty well and he:

1) drops solo queue
2) uses Misery, not LRM boats
3) does not, nor does he need to, cheat.

[Dee Eight]

I died to a player with a dire wolf-prime (l) mech, he marched into the basement of the HPG, turned RIGHT to where i was hiding, and one-shot with an C-LBX-10 and C-LBX-20 popped my head off. He then did the same to six other players on my team. I emailed moderation and attached screen caps. We'll see if anything comes of it. The fellow does not have a forum profile.

Sometimes it feels like it.
