What's up with the leaderboard for the BSW-X2 specifically? I played a bunch of matches in it but my score is not showing. In fact it only displays scores for 24 players at the moment, as if that's all that have played a match with the variant.

Is there a problem with the X2 leaderboard or is it just me?

<<<snip>>>

Looks like it. I've played mostly in the X2 and it still only shows 30-ish people on that leaderboard.

@Freebrewer Bmore, el piromaniaco: It is not just you, my X2 match is not being shown either... despite the fact that the S2 leaderboard has updated thrice since the X2 match was played.

Switching to X1 for now...

Same here, none of my X2 matches are showing on the leader board.

I came to ask about the X2 leaderboard as well. Looks like I'm not the only one missing matches.

BSW-X2 matches seem not to be counted for the leaderboards or are delayed by far more than one hour. Pls check!

Yeah my X-2 isn't being counted, which sucks as I got two really good games in it at the start of the event. :/

ATTENTION, EVERYONE WHO HAS JUST BEEN QUOTED!!!

The last I heard, a MINIMUM of TEN matches are REQUIRED to be scored in before you will be registered on the LeaderBoard for a given Mech Chassis Variant. If you have not done at least that many, then PGI will not display your score on the LeaderBoard. Sorry for the letdown, but they're trying to prevent a number of problems that have happened with previous LeaderBoard Event Sections.

Minimum 10 games?

I don' think so.

I played every bushwhacker variant 2,4,7 and 10 times.
Only the X2 variant 10 times. and that's the only one not showing.

Yeah... but isn't this game supposed to involve TEAMwork? How else do you win properly, especially when it works better to complete the objective than to kill the enemy?

Aaah, good o'le DV! Good to see you're back, olivious to sarcasm and misinforming the common man

DV, can you provide the source for that?
Regardless, it's pretty clear that's not the problem here, because like el piro, I've played the X2 more than the others yet X2 is the only one not showing for me.

What's more, look at the current last-place X2 leaderboard entry: DeadWingman at #46 with a score of 43. Are you telling me DeadWingman played 10 matches and could only manage a cumulative score of 43? I mean, yeah, there are some really bad players, but an average score of 4.3 per match is actually impossible given that the score formula gives you 10 points per match even if you die and lose every time, with zero damage, kills, or assists.

Edit: On 2nd thought actually I suppose it is technically possible, if your Team Dmg > Oppt Dmg, but, uh... in that case everyone on the leaderboard with a score under 100 should be banned for assisting the enemy.

Is there a bug or why do i get only conquest, domination or escort to vote?

Nah, presidentially approved alternativ facts.

[The Unstoppable Puggernaut]

Just my luck, I cant get the lance formations because muppets in my lance are afk. Something really needs to be done about afks, there's far too many at the moment.

[JD Wack]

@SQW yeah, right. 10K. And gameplaywise, I completely agree that the narc is NOT dead weight. As you say, it helps achieving lock faster and helps any lrms or streaks fired at a narc'ed target, even if it doesn't reflect on the evaluation screen. In my experience it also makes for a more fun and actionpacked gameplay. It's only in terms of getting the rewards for the help the narc provides i find it 'dead weight' - as in, if I equip an additional srm6 on my raven instead of the narc, I tend to get a lot more, both points and c-bills, for a match. It's a shame, in a way.

[Brother Calidus]

Ehh no D V, I've played one chassis only twice yet i'm on the leader board for that one, all my other chassis register despite how many games I play. Only the X-2 seems to be missing, so more likely a bug with detected games for the X-2.

Edit: Although now I play today it seems to be fixed, so disreagrd my post. ¬_¬

[Arguss10]

I have Played numerous games in different mechs and I have not registered playing once on the leader board. Something is definetly wrong . PGI please look into this please.

@D V Devnull: Thank you, but ten games are not needed: My results have been corrected and now stand as follows: X1: 4 matches 204 points position 764, X2: 1 match 87 points position 894 and S2: 10 matches 649 points position 166.

@PGI: To the people who fixed the error (at least for me and some others), thank you! <3

Question folks can you get two highest game scores in a day or just the one?? ie you need to get highest score on six days out of the event?

Just want to know as it effects my mech choice... Heavy for score, lights for the second part.
BTW people struggling with the lance in formation bit wait till half you lance is dead then stand next to your other lance mate simples....as long as one of you is shooting or being shot at (likely by that point in the game) you'll get the reward. Good hunting.

Thanks mate

[Ch_R0me]

Hmm...

And another event, with "do something x times EACH day to get the prize", literally without time to respite (3 days imho isn't enough, especially when you don't have a possibility to play MwO each day), and weaker players will possibly have difficulties to get the highest team score (but doing 200 Match Score if 300 DMG or to be sure - 400 DMG is proprely applied should do the trick, but here the time restraint mentioned earlier applies - so far did the second objective 2/10 times, one day wasted - didn't had a chance to do a first objective, and possibly I'll never be able to do so).

Likewise with MC-part with "Lance in formation" - with PUGs it's literally absolutely impossible to do so, even with friends in the lance we have a problem to maintain it, getting just 1-3 LiF's per match, and due to my own RL time constrains - just 6-8 per day (far not enough to win in both objectives - today the second day is wasted for me, and while writing this post, I've accumulated 29 LiF's from 250).

Althrough I've stopped being against all of those events (ok, keep those up. PGI), I'm still advocating to give players more breathing room, by lessening the requirements (good job on some previous one), or by extending the challenge duration without extending the quantity of successfully done daily objectives to win a prize.

[Cy Mitchell]

I am finding the first challenge of having the top score or just achieving a 200 match score once a day very easy. However, I have given up on the 250 Lance or 10 Lance a day goals. If I drop with a Medium then I am in the Lance with the Lights and they just run off to do there thing. I cannot keep up in a Nova or Stormcrow. If I drop in my Hellbringer it usually puts me in the Assault lance. I have better luck there but once we get to the action the Assaults stop anmd start sniping while I have to move in closer with my medium range loadout.

No biggie, I will be happy with the 5Mil C-Bills.

PGI...

please, please, please STOP making events depend on other players. It's highly frustrating for plenty of solo players, which are a considerable part of your playerbase.

Getting highest matchscore 6 times took me 6 matches. I won't be able to complete 250 lance formations though.

No matter how much you beg, there is high chance Mr. Puglet Mc. Puggelsworth will decide it's best to wander off alone, staying far enough from your lance to net you 0 lance formation.

Having a disco on your lance? Well, though one, better luck next time, 0 lance formation for you.
LRM atlas that decides is best to spam lrms from 900m away? Well, your decision... try to get lance formations and thereby throw the match, or try to win with 0 lance formations?
"BUT MUH CONQUEST IS FOR CAPPING" dude on your lance? Your choice again, throw the match or get 0 lance formations.

I played FW scouting matches, thinking it would be easy to get lance formations there... well... If i had luck and didn't get "we will gather intel and hide until the dropship arrives" dudes on my team, IS puggels with their LRM Bushwackers usually went down within 30 secs of combat, resulting in like 3-4 lance formation per match.

It's just so incredibly frustrating that the barrier for finishing the event is not dependent on my own abilities, but on how hard my teammates are scrubing it up.

As a soloplayer, finishing the event is basically pure randomness for me.

[SQW]

Ahh, blames others for inability to play as a team then admits he can only play as the lone ranger. The irony...

I find those solo players are all hit or misses. If they get lucky, they'll kill some scrub team that tries to face-time their meta mechs making them believe they are LEET. Other times, they face a co-ordinated team that will focus fire/flank their solo arses leading to claims of "my team sux. Fix MM!".

I get 10-15 lance formation per game unless I'm running a narc scout. Why are you not shielding your team mates or sharing kills instead of trying to solo snipe with your PPFLD build?
