Extrapolating that Saturday trend without the issues, I think we could have hit 3 million over the weekend...

Bummed network issues kept us from setting a new record, but glad we made our goals in spite of it!

Thanks for that omega booster with the newsletter all that while ago. Could not have put it to better use. Haven't played that much DUST in a while, great fun.

You should give us that 3rd million just because of all the issues that kept us from reaching it, but if not I'm glad for the 2 million. Finally can add another Proto to my collection of suits, Cal Commandos. 3 Protos down, 5 to go

I'm completely disappointed, if only there were no connection issues. If you look at the kill graph closely, 3 million COULD've been reached.
You should've increased the duration of the event by a bit to compensate for the issues. It just ain't fair IMO.
32 kills with militia shotgun. OP? naaaaaah

I think we probably could've, yeah.

The thing is, I think these metrics prove the game is still healthy, and even stronger than before. We would've easily beaten the last challenge's numbers if not for the DDOSers (see CCP Falcon's post). If the event had been extended, people might've accused CCP of extending it just to pad the numbers.

How do these results stack up to to the previous MCC? Total kills, number of players involved etc.
I suppose I could look it up myself, but why not ask the source?

I was thrilled and very impressed with the original MCC event, and with this MCC too. The structure and the way the event works is a great tribute to the "CO-OP contribution yields CO-OP reward" mindset that New Eden (expecially Dust players) need to carry with them as much as possible as they play.
But, Frame, I have to say, the workings of the event was SO POORLY broadcast to players!! As some other forum posters have already expressed, to announce the "Million Cone Challange" event in the LOG IN screens, and then tell the player she has to LOG OUT or grab their PC and "visit www.Dust.forums" just to find out how to play in it (perhaps after doing that chore, finding out the MCC is not an event that interests them and they went through that logging-out chore for nothing ), was JUST AWFUL
I can imagine MANY players (especially new players) just ignored "going to check it out", and dived right into the shooting-fray as usual. They've arrived to start the Dusting Fun---don't ask them to postpone starting their match, go investigate a website for two minutes (likely have to log-out of the game to to do it), and come back to the game "after you've done your homework". Many will just decide, BLOW THAT!
(Which may explain why so many players were still jabbing us with revive-needles during the event---!!)
We really should get the brief but complete instructions we need about these events while we're LOGGED INTO THE GAME, so we don't have to travel any further than the merc quarters to learn the meat of the event. It only takes a few more lines of text on the TV screen (living quarters TV or Updates Screen, either one has been used in the past)
I think the kill numbers would have been MUCH higher (and nanite poking much lower), if you hadn't thrown in the extra "stop, and go some place else" steps to read the facts. ....Such a shame
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...

An in-game message to every players' inbox would also be a possible means of communication.

I love this idea. People still like getting e-mail and if you label it *Important message* or something like *1,000,000 BONUS SP!*, I would bet people would have taken the time to read it, especially that second header. Then explain the basics of the event to people in the body so they don't have to come to the forums, where I would bet 70% or more of the playerbase has never been.

Well done on the event CCP. I have only seen Rattati, Frame and Falcon in the recent posts so thanks to you and anyone else directly involved. I purchased AUR again to show support which is a minor miracle so keep up the good work.
