leaving a battle even in warbarge counts as loss

I tested it.......sadly :(

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

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.

oh nice. i wish that had been clarified BEFORE the event started. most of the teams i was on today were randoms, against squads. so i just AFKed or quit, because the info about the event lead me to believe that if you had 0 WPs the match didnt count. well theres an event wasted because of poor communication.

That doesn't work.

There are two modes

Win

Non-win

Winning requires winning the match AND 100 wp minimum. If you don't reach 100 WP it counts a non-win despite rest of the team winning.

All matches made within the tier count.

Failing to meet the requirement for the tier WILL FAIL the qualification for that tier and no additional battles can change that outcome.

However Qualifying for a higher tier WILL net you all previous tiers.

Bottom Line

You can fail this event. There is a 'lose' condition.

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

won 10% of the games I played tonight. Normally win well over half.

I already asked them the relative questions these were the answers.

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

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

Go read the 1.4 dev blog again.

It was. Someone decided to interpret the rules their own way. There was nothing in the rules saying that 'we won't count matches that have less than 100 wp."

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.

Wow, so much hostility in this thread.

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.

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

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.

IWS is right about this, you guys are retards buahaha, IWS stop caring, let them just not recieve these useless-anyways rewards, after they quit every match & their w/l is 5%.

Fact is, these rewards are garbage, the proto swarms are the only thing worthy of mention, because they are proto.
And the rewards are only achievable through pubstomping....BUAHAHA.
Oh and heres the best part, these rewards are only achievable by the playerbase with the inherent least interest in them. I.E. Why would proto pubstompers want garbo mostly STD items? Pffftt mega fail event CCP.

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

There is something seriously wrong having broken matchmaking & a victory threshold for an event.

What happens in the event of some edge case not covered here?

CCP reserves the right to make final decisions and interpretations of the event rules

There is something seriously wrong having broken matchmaking & a victory threshold for an event.

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.

no its not, reward the better plays, dont reward the lazy ones

not only that but it seems we need dat pen and paper again

I already asked them the relative questions these were the answers.

Hi there

Just to confirm with you, battles that you earn 100 War Points or less do not count to the win/loss ratio.
If you have any further issues, or questions regarding DUST 514, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

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, I will say its going to suck for drop ship pilots, and that there is not a set of 'less than stellar' rewards for those who don't perform as well like 30% and 40% wins.

IWS you are wrong on this....you need to go talk to a dev get a straight answer and post here, since you've spread misinformation... as a CPM this is your responsibility now, since you've added to the confusion.

not true... you have to gain 100 wp for it to COUNT towards the challenge... whether or not it still registers as a win/loss in your wallet is a different story.. I have noticed my wallet reflects wins/losses now with isk earnings of 10k or 15k isk, theres no way if I had participated in that battle I would get so little... I left these matches in the barge... but regardless of this, CCP said you MUST get 100 wp for it to count towards the challege

Hey guys, let's not alienate the few people who are actually communicating with CCP.

It seems like all of you who are complaining are doing so because you can't squad up. Why don't you join the LFSquad channel and group with some other folks. Remember to turn your mic on (or at least your ability to hear what others are saying) and have some fun. Remember its a game, fun is its only point.

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

Alienating? Explain yourself...It seems like Seymor Krelborn is 100% correct in his statement....

This thread (and a second one) was bumped by me on purpose while IWS was active on the forums but it just seems to be another post-and-ignore-later-comments-CCP-style-thread. We're used to it now, but spreading misinformation is a no-go some of us just want to set it straight (and give a hint about how bad their communcation is).

I don't feel that CPM needs to communicate with us on these issues and stuff, it's the job of CCP to do that. CPM should be too busy voicing the concerns,.... of the community to CCP. Sure they can communicate with us, but leave CCPs communication to CCP (hopefully they will learn one day)...what else is CPM going to say beside copy/paste from CCP, vague timelines or "we're under NDA"?

My apologies. What I meant was that we shouldn't be backing members of CPM into a corner. Just because we're probably in the right (CCP Shanghai is known for changing the rules midway through an event, and there's been contradictions from them on this absurdly small event, take a second look at the GM response I received) doesn't justify our abrasiveness.
