I think the daily game is a but ridiculous. I would rather see the requirement be something like "get 12 games with a match score of at least 300." Not everyone has the schedule to play this game every day..

And not everyone is capable of consistently scoring a 300 match score, which is, last I checked, something only 10-20% of the population can do.

Pfft. I can easily score 1000 damage games all the time every day. They just need to stop piloting Victors and fix their loadouts.

P.S. This is sarcasm. Bombast makes a valid point, and has a cool banner. Agree with him!

Everyone knows that everyone on the forums gets 1000+ damage games every game, and if you're not, you're just a bad PUG who should feel bad. After all, on the match results screen, at least half those players always have 1000+ damage.

~attaches 3 (cherrypicked) screenshots of 1000+ damage games showing that clearly how awesome he is~



Seriously, though; I do like the idea of daily challenges. I don't like the idea of long term daily goals like this though where you have to play *every* day or you can't win. I don't really complain about it loudly, because whatever, but it's a bit frustrating.

I'd have liked to have done this one, but 3 days I won't be able to play. As such, I'm not bothering at all. An event should (IMHO anyways) not flat out exclude people who can't play every day over a two week period. But, that's just me, and if some events keep being like this, that's fine. I just hope it doesn't become the default.

Yeah but PGI needs to artificially enhance their player numbers for when their Microsoft overlord (who I picture as Tim Curry's Satan from the movie 'Legend') decides if they will renew PGIs license or just sell the IP to EA.

Yep. Absolutely agree OP, had to go back home for my nephew's baptism this weekend and will miss one day because of the f&%$ed up schedule reset time(like 6pm central). Is it really that hard to make it so that the contest parameters adjust with your timezone, (also know others have brought up similar issues)other games have managed to achieve this why can't you PGI? I have no idea why this pissed me off this time but the non user considerate/friendly aspect of these for some reason stuck out to me and has me considering what the hell it is I'm doing with my life lol.......

Can't you let someone you know play a game for you if you are unable to spare 30 minutes that day? That's what I do.

Isn't letting someone else use your account against the ToS? That's the case with a lot of F2P games/MMOs I know of.

And it's a two-week event. You wouldn't need a 300 score consistently, especially if the one-instance-per-day restriction were removed. You'd just need to average slightly less than one good match per night for two weeks. This isn't more of an imposition than requiring everyone jump on for at least one match a night (however low scoring, since sub-100 scores represent pretty abjectly terrible play/luck), unless you're not only restricted to playing on certain days, but you can only make time for one or two matches on those days.

If it's the case that your time is that restricted, then maybe pay less attention to the challenges page, since they will require you to play the game. That's the point of the challenges, after all: Compel people to play the game regularly, so that they will be more inclined to spend money on the game.

Could I have your attention please ...

Not everyone deserves a ribbon, not everyone deserves to be tier 1, AND not everyone deserves all the free **** PGI gives away. IF you want all of it then do everything that PGI wants to get it otherwise suck it up buttercup and move on.



Public service announcement is over you may resume your usual social justice warrior mentality and give everyone a trophy. Then sit on it.

At this point I'm getting salty at people for being salty at people being salty. Huh.

If you're going to post a picture of a pickaxe from Skyrim, at least post the obviously superior Ancient Nordic Pickaxe.

Woooo so pretty, is that special edition or original?

The best pickaxe is a Diamond Pickaxe.

EA had a license and did not want it anymore.

Remember when PGI claimed they bought the Wing Commander license from EA, and EA just went "Nuh-uh!"? That was fun.
