As of course I'm certain Tibs beat your score for a fact also. As well as Catdog beating the shotgun record

Yo CCP miscounted big time. Tibs 6k kill at least.

The backing out didn't count kills for event but counted on leaderboards I assume, that information would've been crucial to know from the start CCP

EDIT: To add onto the QQ I tweeted logibro asking if kills counted even though the person backed out of slow games

Maybe Pick ups didn't count and perhaps they only counted terminations over killing those who had been needled?

So since someone got picked up by a milita needle (Mind you I was spamming ambush so there were lots of milita medics) I'm suppose to let the person aware of my presence turn around and kill me and for the kill to count after I rekill the merc I have to rush towards 10+ enemies to terminate a clone!? Again information before the start of the event would've been crucial so I could've spammed Dom instead

CCP Logibro C C P C C P Alliance 8285	Posted - 2014.06.25 18:18:00 - [1] - Quote Listen up mercenaries! Weapon manufacturers around New Eden are working hard on new experimental weapons. As part of their research, they are requesting the aid of mercenaries everywhere in a bid to find experts and generate more combat data with these weapons. To the best, they offer the chance to leave their name on these weapons for all to see. If this sounds like something you're interested in, you should check out the details on the event page.

People will boost the crap out of this event remember the black eagle challenges etc... within minutes of starting people were boosting so while I love this idea and would love to name a mass driver as they are my favourite weapon you can guarantee the winner for each weekend will have been boosting like mad. Anyone caught boosting is going to be feeling a lot of pain. I will be checking the final results to make sure they haven't been boosting. If you catch anyone boosting, please make sure to send in a ticket under DUST Community & Forums with the name of the killer, victim, your character name and the time it happened in UTC. We would take great pleasure in educating people on proper event etiquette. CCP Logibro // Patron Saint of Logistics // Distributor of Nanites (a¦á_a¦á)

Arkena Wyrnspire wrote: This is a wonderfully designed event. I might actually log on and attempt a no life on one of these weekends, it's actually gotten me really interested. Taking a popular community game (naming officer weapons after players) and making it an actual event... That's great. Well done. I'd like to ask for a of clarification though - I'm pretty sure I've understood correctly but before I attempt to clear a weekend I'd like to check if I'm right. On each weekend, you have a chance to get lots of kills with one of these types of weapons. The highest score of any of these weekends is what is counted for you. The person with the highest score will have the opportunity to name that officer variant. Is that correct? Correct. The highest score on a single weekend wins. This does mean you can win for multiple weapons (heck, you can even win more than one weapon in a single weekend). FraggerMike wrote: "...All scores are taken on a character basis, though all characters from a single account are eligible..." Does this mean I can get 300 kills on my main, then another 300 kills on second and/or third chars on same account and have those scores tallied with my main, or do my alt scores stand alone in the count? Second one. Each character is counted individually, but every character on an account is eligible. CCP Logibro // Patron Saint of Logistics // Distributor of Nanites (a¦á_a¦á)

CCP Logibro C C P C C P Alliance 8331	Posted - 2014.06.26 10:37:00 - [6] - Quote There is only one new officer weapon per category to be named. The single highest kill count from a weekend across all the weekends of the event period will get the prize. The new officer weapons will be added to public contract loot tables, so they're not going to be restricted to just the winners.

Goes to sob in a corner Welcome to the corner No more tears! Who's to say there won't be a similar event for secondary weapons? It's better this way, as it encourages a finite player base to focus on a smaller number of weapons. If/when the challenge is rewritten for secondary weapons, the same principle applies. This challenge is clever, but I don't know that its necessary. Fate has already declared that each weapon must be named after Bojo, as in "Bojo's Mighty Nova Knives", "Bojo's Mighty Forge Gun", etc etc etc. We want to make sure all the sidearms are fun and balanced before (read future hotfix) we consider doing a sidearm event like this. If it goes well and everyone has fun, we will definitely want to do one. "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

The person with the highest score will have the opportunity to name that officer variant. Is that correct? Yes, you only need to max one weekend out of the four, this is designed so players have four distinct periods, not a sum of the weekends. It also means a single person might win all weapon naming rights by having incredible 12 single days, though I doubt it can be done "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"


CCP Rattati C C P C C P Alliance 3224	Posted - 2014.06.27 02:00:00 - [9] - Quote More participatory prizes and not only on the weekends. I am not sure about the post weekend updates of top killers, I like the "blind gambling" that needs to happen. Did I kill enough to move on to the next weapon, or do I push extra hard next weekend. We can see if something can be done. "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"


CCP Rattati C C P C C P Alliance 3274	Posted - 2014.06.28 00:29:00 - [10] - Quote Yes, only your best total counts with a single unique weapon, not the sum, even if they are both HMG's. "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

You gotta show the post weekend updates, it would pretty messed up not to show it because people want to move to the next weapon, also if you do show it people can see if their record got beat and they can try extra hard the next week. If you dont show it people will just use the same weapon every week to ensure their prize, i know i will because no one has time to keep up with more than two weapons with out knowing if their record got beat. Very good point, we will discuss it internally. "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"


CCP Rattati C C P C C P Alliance 3779	Posted - 2014.07.09 22:53:00 - [12] - Quote We have decided to change nothing about the original event, no extra days, rewards and we will not report any numbers or players until we have the final results. However, if we were to do an event like this again, we will take this feedback into account. "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

I've got the first pass on the stats sitting waiting to go and as soon as they're live you'll all get your copies. Later on all the new officer weapons will be added to the regular salvage tables.
