I saw some discussion regarding LRM range and taking out the snipers in some other thread.
Either author of the complaint plays in tier 6 or I just don’t get it.
How do you get lock on those snipers, especially if these are those ECM clanners?
Even if you get the lock what is the use of it if snipers stay in cover? Staying in cover of what breaks line of sight and target lock in the first place.

It's possible it was something I posted.

Taking out ECM Clan meta snipers can be easy if your team is willing to communicate and co-operate. You just need a spotter to find them (doesn't even need target lock) and two players in fast medium or heavies with minimum LRM-30 each.

Move into range - 750-850 range works best for the "suprise mofo - get umbrella out" factor. Position the 2 LRM mechs a minimum 90-degrees apart in relation to the target ... and manually target their position without target lock. Chainfire your LRMs for about 180-200 missiles each. Add in a couple of arty or air strikes to the mix if you really like playing dirty. Result = one very pizzzed off Clan meta sniper.

You can determine the competitions of the past by clicking the "Previous" button on the tournament results page and going through them page by page...it's the only way I know how to recover old information.

Although I have a list dating back to Summer 2014 of the links to all tournament pages.

Perhaps I could post it...

Man, I would hate to live some of your lives if all you have about this event is complaints. You must be really miserable all the time.

And I'm generally miserable all the time anyway, but you guys take it to a whole new level. Seek professional help.

[RottenFoot]

one big achievement to complete with allot of goodies to be gotten..great stuff!!

[Commander A9]

I definitely do appreciate the event and the prizes.

My only concern is the fact that one of the prizes was already given out as a prize, thus becoming a duplicate whose value is immediately lost because you can't have more than 2 of the same exact color.

Now, if PGI was willing to endorse the idea of an exchange, that would be very nice of them.

I knew it, i knew it, i knew that event and sale like that is coming. I just felt it but i choose to ignore the feeling... and damn now im pissed (at myself ofc) .

I feel that text bit would have been funny had blue boxes started going overboard and gray boxes started begging for stops.

If someone is struggling to get enough match score, equip AMS or two and take the nodes or at least first AMS node. They give you really easily a small boost to every game. Well, on most maps, the more open, the bigger boost.

I have an important question, maybe here isnt the place but I would really appreciate. I had 30 banked premium days before tree and now I have zero, no mention in the ledger... so?

[MunStarr]

Good sale+event for not-so-great transition to even less liked new skill system. This will help the masses swallow adapting a little easier vs. just leaving in frustration. Good call. Got my duckits.

you need to be able to get the nodes first. Not all the mechs have AMS. my XP is usually double digit gecause I don't do a lot of kills or KMDD. sometimes I don't manage any hostile damage.

If you click on the event page when logged in it will give you the accumulatyed match score. you can also check the match score from Team stats after the match. The emphasis is on kills not much for support like scouting, support roles, use of UAVs you can see the match score in the rules.

try looking in your profile under premium time. It will be listed in hours. premium time won at events might not be saved but used as soon as you earn it.

The sale is alright but the event has only one catagory instead of the multiple catagories. This type of event is contraintuitive to their goals as it enourages a lot of high dps loadouts with high dps. The TTK is going to be very short. I've already written it off as hopeless. The amount of players should help getting matches as long as I don't get the aggressive groups when I pug.
