    There is no definitive answers from PGI apart from this old, fuzzy one.

    http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/95911-patch-notes-12182-05-feb-2013/

    And this speculation (last post in the thread):

    http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/169165-requesting-official-response-match-score/

    I will verify that formula with some old screenshots, standby.

    Edit: That formula is probably close to the mark but there is something else in play aswell so I wouldn't trust it completely. I tried it three time times:

    i think SRM's and Dakka will make an easy 30 points ;-)

    So my take:
    OXIDE
    Golden Boy
    Ilya
    DWF or KGC (L)

    30 points is literally turn up and shoot a couple of mechs... Its hard to go under unless you have a disastrous round.

    It's okay. I played it on my brother's account. I just loaded up on Pulses and went off. Something along these lines;


    It does okay, but, it's CT is a magnet, so, brawling with it is rough and it was fairly lackluster. Plenty of other mechs can do the same loadout with better quirks and you don't have to pay real $$$.

    I should just point out that even though it is technically a Champion mech (i.e. +10% XP) the Sarah's Jenner JR7-D(S) qualifies for the special mech bonus, unlike the rest of the (C) mechs.

    Welll what about THIS:

    CT is a magnet, as you said, so XL shouldn't be a problemo!

    Well crud, I may actually get some of the 40% off heroes I don't have instead of waiting for them to go for 50% for this. The idea of an extra 12 million or so C-Bills (I can *probably* hit the 80 game target for regular matches this weekend, but no way I can hit enough CW on top of that) is always nice. Mastery up some new mechs and make it rain? Heck to the yeah.

    @B0ilz : I only played it a few times. Didn't really hold my interest, so, I swapped back to my own account.

    The SIB and Sparky are intriguing... And the Pirates Bane for 900MC? Heck yeah. 170kph ECM here I come!

    What that old formula is missing is the new rewards system. When they redid the rewards (for things like engaging, tag assist, lance-reward, etc.) they also changed how the match score gets calculated.

    This is actually why you may often see Lights and Mediums with much higher scores than their Heavy and Assault team-mates: it's because Lights and Mediums get alot of extra match-score-points for "Protected Light/Medium" which basically goes into effect every so many seconds that they are engaging (shooting or being shot at) while near a friendly Heavy or Medium. I have no idea why the Lights and Mediums are getting points for being protected by their Heavies and Assaults (instead of the points being given to the latter) but it is the way it's set up right now.

    But anyway, yeah, it shouldn't take much to get 30 score. (Though it will be easier in the Lights and Mediums, for the above-mentioned reason).

    This is actually pretty accurate. ;)

    Well, you can't buy Sarah with MC, and it is a special special mech, for donations in memory of Sarah.

    It is treated as other special edition mech.

    Think they should have given the Gold mech a better boost so we would actually got to see some out there.

    Been in mine and getting bad mouthed all evening except in about 3 matches.... that's why we rarely use them.

    Of course my results also haven't updated for the last 9 matches so giving up now as tired and getting fed up at the idiots around tonight.

    Well this is shit... to test I changed from my gold direwolf to a TDK and that match appeared.... just none in the Gold Direwolf between 22.03-23.55.

    Wondering if its capped at 10 not 20 matches. Anyone got over 10 in assaults so far?

    Don't think there's a cap at 10 but can't say for assaults, I've got nearly 20 in heavy so far.

    Maybe they had a stat gathering anomaly? Who knows. I've had no issues thus far...only had 1 or 2 matches that didn't qualify. I had hoped people would understand that they could just play normally and get this one done easily, but as usual, people are being mongs. Still, easy money...

    Its not that they don't qualify - they don't appear at all as if I never dropped.

    If you play another Hero-ish assault, does that game appear?

    I got the Locust PB with spare MCs, but it will be alone up until the 17th :D new quirks pass + 50K bonus lost if I level another locust.

    I must say I can't wait to go full speed. The purchase was nice too, all upgrades already done, and the Locust engine included :thumbsup:
