Has anyone heard the Legend of Admiral Pwnsberry?

Do enlighten us!

No one can tell you the Legend of Admiral Pwnsberry... you have to see it for yourself.

Can I learn from him?

 
No one reads the fine print any more...

Agreed, though rule number one must be blame the server, though to be fair shuriken never learned to read.

Hahaha good luck with that!! The only one that will be getting a whoopin' is you!!! LOL

Indeed
after some various reads,suggestions & tweaks i finally managed to get BF3 playable. I had to lower the settings to medium and another thing i noticed was my mouse pad was causing me the grief aswell(old school gel & cloth pad) so i switched over to my TF2 mouse pad and things are much nicer now.
:)

cant wait myself, though winning some of that loot would be nice. *wipes drool off of chin, again*

Its at the bottom of the April Event Article, really interesting history!!

Now that I noticed it >.<  That is a very interesting read.
 
 
Side note how about you guys do this?  On these servers when there is little to no one in the server the map size should be small then move up from there.  That is how some of the most successful servers do it.  So you are not getting 100% raped by vehicles when trying to get a server going.
 
Because let me give you a little insight on what I just went through on our freaking servers.  3 on 6 Wake Island... Everyone on the other side is in a jet or tank and guess what ended up happening?

We had people in the server till the freaking base rape started.

Suck it up buttercup

Just curious, how many winners usually turn up in these events?
(I'm new here ^_^)

Heh chances are never really good.

I, for one, was disappointed by the new requirement. I’m a customer of EVGA products, but I’m sure I’m not in the target demographic, (too old.)
 
I don’t have a lot of time to devote to gaming, (maybe a half-hour a night if I’m lucky.) The possibility of winning an Extreme processor is incentive enough for me to check the EVGA servers to try to find one that’s not completely empty or completely full. Now that that no longer a realistic option, I’ll end up not participating at all.
 
Perhaps instead of creating tiers of prizes, they could reward players with longer times, with more chances to win, (like one extra chance for each half hour.) That we, older players like me wouldn’t be excluded from a meaningful reward, while still encouraging, (and rewarding), players with more time to devote to the contest.

2 Hours is hardly anything.  The event runs for 14 days... Play 4 nights for 30 mins and there's your qualification time.
 
I personally think it should be more than two hours for top tier.
 
I see way to often people join the server for 15 seconds and then win an $800 prize and it will be somebody nobody has seen or will likely see again until the next event for some free stuff.  The idea is to draw people to the servers and hope they will continue to stick around and play with us.  I believe these minor requirements will help new gamers stick around our servers.
 
My two cents.

Yea the tier prizes is a great idea just next go around I think the times should be a little more stretched.

+1
 
I actually really like this idea!!! This idea would give me more of a chance to win something since I'm usually ALWAYS in the server for these events to make sure people are abiding by the rules and what not.

If only it was playing for a half hour.
It more like:
Boot the computer
Fire up the game
Wait for yet another steam update.
Connect to a server
Get kicked because the server is actually full, (despite what the browser says)
Connect to another server. This time it’s empty
Try another server with someone on it, wait to see if enough people join to start a game.
Times up. Log off
 
Now, I’m sure that if I had 2 hours to spend, I'd get some playing time in.
 
If what you’re trying to do, is narrow the number of contestants, (and participants), then I agree, this should do the trick.
If you’re just trying to reward frequent players, without disenfranchising others, I think my idea would be a better solution.

I am not sure about TF2 games but I do know a well balanced BF3 game can last up to an hour+

I agree with this, 2 hours is barely anything specially within 2 weeks of time. There should be no complaints about a measling 2 hours required game play from the 336 hours during the gaming event. Its a great idea! It limits the potential spam gamers to log in for 1 min and log out and be qualified to win something with zero effort, its an event to get gamers to come onto the servers and play, not to earn freebies by not playing. As stated I think it should be increased to make it even more competitive. Up the tiers to 4-7 hours, which is still technically nothing to the 336 hours available to play.

Those were my thoughts on hours as well.
 
Tier 1: Just join
Tier 2: 4 Gameplay hours
Tier 3: 8 Gameplay hours

 
Why not just remove the "Just join"? Maybe change it to at least 1hr or 2hrs? This should at least remove the loggers who just login to qualify for the prize. 8hrs is overkill IMO.
BTW, in order to qualify for the event, one must be an EVGA customer right? So does that mean only people who have a registered product can qualify? Or does it also count anyone with an EVGA account? (If it is the latter, then it's not worth it)

8 hours is just loose change in two weeks.

so, i signed up with my steam ID but how is it going to know how much i played if the game isn't on steam?

TF2 is on steam...
BF3 requires your soldier name.

ah... i didn't even notice it was for both.
