I have never had less fun playing this game.
won 10% of the games I played tonight. Normally win well over half.
I know I'm not proto and I don't have proto friends, but rubbing it in my face is just mean.

I believe they have said it doesnt count towards the event as long as you havent gotten 100 WP |

It is to be expected. These events bring out the best of players. It's good training. Get back into it and don't take that crap!! It's all in the mind...outsmart your opponent. |

That doesn't work.
There are two modes
Win
Non-win
Winning requires winning the match AND 100 wp minium. If you don't reach 100 WP it counts a non-win despite winning. |

I haven't come across many proto-stomps as I leave when I see two squads of 5 and a squad of 3 on the other side or alot of the big names on the other side. I've been finding the blueberries to be even more useless than normal. Both sides are just blueberries and I go 27/9 with 2500wp (in standard gear with advanced av nades and equipment) and still lost because there were only 5 teammates on the field. The other side only had 10 cherries out so they eventually took the whole field. And this wasn't a one time thing. 20/5, 21/2 and still no help from the blue berries. I was almost twice the wp of the second best on my side and of the cherries.

Got anything to back that up because Ive been hearing differently or are you doing what you do and just make a declaration and then wait for someone to come along with a direct quote from CCP that contradicts you |

And the devblog didnt have this information and the thread announcing this event didnt have this information even though its something lots of people were asking because?
Now its a good thing you actually got some clarification out of them but it seems like CCP and you have both dropped the ball on spreading information that is vital for this event
Oh and let them know they should update the ingame news, the people that dont read the forums have no idea there is an event going on |

If you're really trying to go for these almost useless rewards; log onto the Oceania server and pubstomp some n00bs.
I logged onto a skirmish with a squad; It was almost over (enemy had all points) but we managed to recapture it all and win the battle. At the end we found out there was only 2 people on the other team!
The Oceania has some very boring games to offer (seeing as they are always dead), but you're pretty much always guaranteed victory after victory. |

God you can be so stupid sometimes IWS You know when you load up the game and theres a big window on the screen that lets you switch between news and patch notes, the screen that everyone needs to look at for at least a moment before they can press X and choose character? That needs to be updated to let people known an event is going on, put it in big red letters or something so its obvious that it was changed
Seriously, saying "Durr they are gonna add stuff in 1.4 so dat deres a place to put da news" when something like that already exists and really shouldnt take long to update and you wonder why people have a hard time taking you seriously as a CPM |

Yeah yeah recent updates screen but thats completely ignoring why have they not updated the news screen despite it being right there Not doing so makes them look lazy and incompetent and you defending that poor ability reflects badly on yourself, even more so since you arent addressing anything Ive brought up and try to sidestep it Just go crawl back to IRC and leave the actual players alone, Id much rather try to get in touch with anyone from CCP directly, even the janitor, then deal with the CPM "representing" me

Quote:FAQ
If I play more than the minimum number of matches, which ones are counted for the event?
Only the win/loss rate of the week's first 30, 40 and 50 matches in which you earn at least 100 war points during the event will be considered for the purpose of qualifying for the event rewards.
looks like it says the win/LOSS rate is only considered when you get 100 WPs. i interpreted the rules the way they were explained by the dev post. |

The only thing this challenge is rewarding is your luckiness in randoming the side with the least quitters. Its also a binary succeed/not succeed on a measure you can't control.
Its like the event design guy is trolling us and has keen psychological insight into what will **** players off. |

Okay so this is where CCP will claim they explained that ALL matches count:
Quote:What happens if I leave a match early? If you cannot finish the match for any reason, and/or rejoined the same match multiple times, the match will still be counted as long as it's one of the first 50 battles played for the week.
The issue is that they contradict this statement and intention with these sections:
Quote:Goals
Each week during the event players will be asked to meeting the following criteria:
*Play and complete 30 matches and win 48% of all matches and win tier I rewards *Play and complete 40 matches and win 45% of all matches and win tier II rewards *Play and complete 50 matches and win 42% of all matches and win tier III rewards ...
Quote:If I play more than the minimum number of matches, which ones are counted for the event? Only the win/loss rate of the week's first 30, 40 and 50 matches in which you earn at least 100 war points during the event will be considered for the purpose of qualifying for the event rewards.
So they both imply that you must COMPLETE the match and that they'll only count the win/loss rate of matches where you score more than 100 WP. To explain that the first 50 battles will be counted regardless of the WP you score means they actually told us incorrect info.
Or Iron Wolf Saber is wrong. |

I would like an update on this. I was under the impression that matches where I score less than 100 WPs did not count towards this event, win or lose.
If what IWS says is true- "If you scored less than 100 WPs and your team won, they won despite you." "If you scored less than 100 WPs and your team lost, they lost because of you."
This is beginning to feel like another mishandled DUST event. |

All matches count, if you fail to get 100 wp in a victory its counted as a non-win and against you.
aka afking this event won't work as well |

So if you get entered into a battle the moment before it is lost the game counts against you? I really doubt that. |
