Yeah, it's LRM or AMS to break 500 and even then, it's a bit of work (brought my big pink LRM boat and did it post haste as I knew, I could potato for days trying to do it the hard way, I don't see doing this kind of thing with a direct fire build easily). One thing I noticed, was I get a higher match score from assists than from kills, is this a thing?

I got the first one in my first attempt in a splat Summoner with dual AMS. I then tried a couple times with a dual UAC10 Bushwacker but kept running out of ammo and got a ~465 point and ~485 point match.

I decided to hold off on trying to finish the event until I got my Blood Asps to double-up with the assault event and in my first Blood Asp drop (Dual Gauss, 6 ERML, AMS) I got a 912 damage match to get the second one.

I kinda cheated as well. Downgraded my quad MPLs to ERMLs in my JVN-10F. Put in a couple of AMS with 3 tons of ammo and picked up both AMS skill points. Then waited for the rain to fall on Polar Highlands. Run, run, snipe, snipe Prrrrpt, Prrrrpt = 500MS.

I ended up not getting my second 500. Got tons and tons of 450-498 scores though. Honestly it felt like the game was trolling me really hard.

I finally gave up when I had this phenomenal match going on that was a guaranteed 500+ MS and then, in the final moments of the match, a barely alive teammate of my thought it was a really good idea to walk directly into my lasers as I was firing at the last enemy. I guess he just absolutely had to get the final kill but all it took was 1 point of damage from my lasers and down he went...team kill. Obviously you get a huge penalty to match score when you get a team kills so no 500+ match score for me, nope. I was so pissed that I just had to log out and quit for the evening.

Whelp, event cleared in three matches. Time to stroke it.



Who else here didn't have to try very hard to clear this event?

I cleared them far moer easily than I thought for the 500 match score.

3 games and I was done as well...

But then given QP (lately) has divulged into a LRM fest it's actually easier to get 500 match score than ever before. My Average so far is 450, it's usually not that high at this point in a season...Especially when I've done a bit of GroupQ which tends to lower it ~60-80pts, but increase win-rate. I should be under 400...

Keep the LRMs coming guys!

But then I am getting matched with Tier 4 players at times... So...

[Appogee]

I tried LRMs for a little while (I felt so dirty) but they wouldn't get me across the 500 Match Score mark.

Dakka, however, did it easily.

On a loss too.

[Mister Glitchdragon]

I did it with my SNS-D with the Manul RA (2xGR/2xERML/ECM). I wouldn't say I "didn't try hard." Harsh ammo limits and shaved-to-the-bone armor on this build made the tryhard challenge something I had to really knuckle down to clear. But I did it, which was something I might not have managed a year ago.

I have no idea how long it took me, but 526 avg matchscore for this season says it wasn't too long.

Doesn't mean the matches i played were particulary good or entertaining

Seeing a match being lost with 100% certainty before a single shot was fired just by looking at the movement patterns of your team isn't fun. Seeing 4 teammates die before you even made it into engagement range is just disheartening.

The matches i played were either "roll them 12:0, have to work for kills because they are simply dying too fast" or "realize you will get rolled within 1 minute after the match has started, take as many with you as possible".

MWO has seen better times.

[PzGren]

I thought this would be fun for the kicks. This is actually my 2nd 500pt game.

Got both mine in a 2xLBX2 2xERPPC Sunspider...

No meta. No AMS. No strikes.

Clan ERPPC is meta.

I just got a 500 point game with my HGR Orion. Of course the event's over now so I can't get it a second time

How many of you are using aim bot programs?

[Brain Cancer]

Five games.

The first two were so bad that I ended up with 1 kill and 2 KMDDs respectively in a win and 12-2 team obliteration. Oddly enough, both were also games where I ended up with friendly fire doing more damage than the enemy because apparently, people can't aim around the big 'ol assault flinging ATMs. First one I lost an arm to an ammo explosion and then the other arm to enemy damage leaving me a gunless stick, second one someone managed do dumbfire me in the back with an LRM 80 Stuper-nova. Twice.. I was red internals before I was yellow frontal armor.

Then 1-2-3 done in the Supernova. #1 was 250+ but someone capped in Assault ending it early, #2 and #3 were just blasting everything in sight like nature intended.

What do you think CALRM 80 and an active probe is?

That would be a bannable offense. And to my amusement, I did get accused of it last week.

Because my missiles "followed him after he moved and killed him".

I do not want to know why someone like that is in a game with T1s.

[D34DMetal]

I cleared all of the events in only one match, GG close.

[Savage Wolf]

Just use spread weapons like missiles and LBX and it's easy to get. This entire thread really showcases how flawed the match score system is because it's so easy to farm if you know what you are doing. By no means does match score equal skill, yet that is what the entire system is based upon.

[BrunoSSace]

Got all my 3 with the Wolfhound Hero, the Grinner. Took a few matches but wasn't really trying. Just derp around and kill all the Lrm Assaults that didn't see me coming. Ecm and 5 medium pulse never let me down.
