[Feedback] MWO: Mercenary Event

I can't imagine anyone getting all 100. Unless you're in college or took vacation days from work...

 

Not even tried as its such an odd time line this time. Friday is always a friends day for me and Sat is family... Rather irritated that no competition Sun/Mon which is my main playtime but oh well.

 

Apparently I was paying so little attention to 2 of my last 3 matches that I never noticed @LT Satisfactory on the other side. In my defence I was in shock at my team....

For example, 0-12 and I had highest damage at 299 ......

That said I've noticed that even though I get 2.5-3 kills average per match in my TDR-9S my damage is much less than with my Dragon 1N as the triple ERPPC are so focused. Makes my match score embarrassingly low though head shotting Direwolves for 88 and 20 damage respectively tonight was fun.

 

So, apparently the time they listed for this ending was wrong, and it ended based on GMT instead of PST...so we're losing about 7 hours of the tourney unless they extend it Tourny page stopped updating about the time the resistance bonuses (modules, etc) hit. I ended with about 64 wins (1280 MC), but the MC hasn't shown up yet.

Update from Russ' Twitter:

So apparently they will show up later.

 

If we get credit for games played last night, I should have enough for two mechbays, or four when they're on sale. Was hoping to get enough to grab a Pirate's Bane when it goes on sale, but with such a tight timeline and my terrible playing, that didn't pan out.

 

Well, I got 64 matches total that qualified. Dunno how many I played since I been back, prolly 200. If I had known about this event I wouldn't have spent the first two days back (which were the first 2 days of the event) AFK grinding XP!

I did all my drops with ERPPC Kit Fox, so that made it a lot more difficult as well. By last night all I was doing was just going out and trying to swing at at least 6 guys, then fade back and snipe the rest of the match and hope we got some kills.

Fun stuff though, perhaps I will now take my Bay total to... *gasp*... 10!

 

I didnt even notice I wasnt paying much attention to the game at all during that contests.

I got into a spree there at the end, ending up with 31 out of 47

 

Got 99 out of 196, been also working 8 hours a day and spending some time with my wife, so it's doable, most games running a 3-4 man group.

 

73 of 111, spent a bit too much time not trying hard (see my earlier 'SRM MDD confirmed not tourney meta' post). Knuckled down and used quirky IS lights or the HBR and could pull 80%+ qualifiers.

 

I ended up with 70 qualifies out of 112 games in the end (once it finally added the missing games from the last day). Could've hit the full 100, but I was playing from work after the first day and didn't have as much time Still, not a bad way to nab 1400 free MC. Now to get another 50% mechbay sale...
