Expected Match Numbers to complete Event Task

The only thing I really want is the Ancile (apart from the tempest) but I fear it is too far ... I haven't even completed the gekko task! ... I am on a MM win smackdown!

Thanks mate,

This is exactly what we need! So you actually record all your beacon cap matches?
I was assuming the numbers for an average player using a task specific hanger + Kill steal DB mind set(when in kill task).
Good job on the winning % , but as for me I still prefer using the general 50% mark.


Today after I did some cap hanger test, result is not good, 5 Beacon per game is on a winning match, losing match probably only result in 2 to 3 caps and can't even get close to the far end red beacons, all the furies are sitting there. So I'd say 4 per game to be conservative. Here is the adjusted one.




win50%, 3.5 Kill, 4 Beacon



Just for you guys with 10+ hangers and team squad that crushing win%, here is one with 66.666 win%, 3.5 kill, 4 Beacon

I do record just about everything: Trophies, Cups (damage/100,000), Kills, Beaconss Gold earned by Damage, Gold earned by Beacons, Extra gold, Win %, Map played and hangar used, creating stats by hangar.

In any case, it's not feasible. 800 games is a reasonable (actually probably optimistic for people who haven't tanked pre-event) calculation and, at 6 minutes average per game, it makes 80 hours, or 4 hours a day of uninterreupted playing for each of the 20 days of the event.


Pass, I choose life

Personally, I'm aiming at the ancile, maybe the carnage and I'm late: just finished the gekko, took 35 games, (the playing population and maybe the MM has changed, my stats have lowered)

I now have the Magnum ... hurray!... it will go nicely with the others I am not using ... now to start the slog for an Aphid ...

Did you factor in that the quests don't spillover into the next? It can matter a lot for beacons and kills. The battles one only matters if you don't manually advance the quest, but the other tasks aren't as forgiving if you come up a few short in one game, or come up big towards the tail end of a quest and have the extras wasted some progress resets to zero. It could easily add 30-60 matches to the expected total for at player at a 50% win rate.

I already used roundup on all the numbers because of the situation you mentioned. It won't waste in Wins task, since it only adds one win every time.
All we need to complete the quest is do one more match even if it stopped right at 29/30. Sometimes you perform over average and actually hit the goal already.
So round up is fine I think. Not that big of a difference. 

I just got the Natasha but am stopping there. Too much of a time investment for me when I should be getting ready for college.

During the last event I did about 700,000,000 damage cumulatively to complete all the tasks. It was quite a grind, not sure I'm going to finish the tasks this time.

I wasted way too much time the first two days of this event, not wanting to quit until I cleared the current challenge segment, and then the next,and then the next. The only item I'm really interested in trying is a Trident, which I'm working on now, but I've reserved myself to just taking what I can get through 'normal' playing time. That is, doing the daily gold tasks and 3-win-for-silver and little more. Otherwise, I've found that playing for hours on end just advances me up the leagues beyond my weapon levels and leads to a lot of frustration. So I'll take the milestones as they come, but I'm no longer going to make them my targets.

Last time I strategize for the first 5 tasks, then when I realized I had ample time I just try to perform consistently well, remember to reset missions until this popped up.

Thank you for writing this how to beat task guide. I did not know this kind of strategy existed, was just playing like a donk and stay till the end of game each time. Discovering this speed up my task progress, mostly the capture task, win and kills are still hard to control by me.
I even saw a guy with 0 kill nearly 0 damage the past 50 games.

Add something more here,

Beacon:
Usually I use hanger like this

Because player will need to score some damage to have a chance to earn the 2 token.

If map is big like Canyon, Springfield, Yamantau.
Gepard 3 Gekko.
I use my Gepard to Cap 2. Since the gekko damage is a lot more reliable than hydra and molot and can damage as soon as you head out of base. This set up adds 2 tokens to every game I play and earn a bit silver to spare, that's something Cossack can't do. 

If map is medium like Dead City, Shenzhen, Power Plant.
Gareth Taran Magnum
I usually can only cap 1, because its either left or right and red could reach 2nd beacon at the same time with me. Therefore I drop Gareth to clean red cossacks and cap 2 then quit, also enough damage by killing a bot.

If map is moon.
This hanger shines! Go 10+ Beacons




Kills and Wins
I'm quite different from your style, except the save DB for the kill, that's the golden rule in Kill Steal.
League points has no meaning at all in LQ. I played my way to Champion already by using a lvl 9 or worse hanger. I will do cover fire for Teammates, not behave "selfish" like in your post. 
What matters is Choose a good game to stay, and once I stayed, I play my best to score kills and win, just play like a regular game. Usually end up with top 3 damage, and earn good token gold silver.

1. Read red player's name.
If most of them are regular champion tankers, quit the game before even start. I know I won't get kills or wins, only get spawn washed.
If most of them are something like "Pilot W2F5p", best game to score 5 to 10 kills. Ignore champion tankers who headed out to our base, go spawn wash red. 

2. For kill task, dag the game longer by not cap, or go cap when red is 4 to 1 or 5 to 0. Keep it 2 to 3 or 3 to 2, then enjoy the 10 mins of massive killing.  When spawn wash, block some friend fire and stand in front of them so I can get the kill. 

3. For win task, still drop a scout Gekko Gepard . Just to see how the battle fields develop, if red is overwhelming, at least I leave and get 2 tokens. If seeing blue has some painted Galahad or Griffin or Ancilot, I'm staying no matter what, still have my 4 Major heavy bot back there to turn the battle knowing that I have some teammate know what they are doing. 


I don't intentionally drop league points at all, just to finish tasks faster due to event. Other than cap, I fight every game that I think will win and get more kills till the end. 

Oh forgot to mention, you'll end up in leavers queue pretty quickly doing this however. I had this all worked out before last event as I really wanted that Rogatka but it was pretty clear after the first 3 weapons 20 days is time enough not to resort to it these means. This event...well there ain't much there worth it, no plans this time just come what may.

And, there's a mistake, not sure if anyone noticed. I'm at phase 4/5 for teh natasha and it's already a beacon capture one, not a 28 kills.

And got the Natasha, 35 games (exp. 33). Spoliage (the kills and beacons "lost" due finishing a task during a game) really is an issue. I think one loses between 5% and 10% of games
