Storm PvP suddenly inaccessible

gambl0r312

I had about 400 pts in the PvP Storm event when it started losing nodes and not replacing them with any matches, then it kicked me out to the PvP selection tab where it sits next to the new Spidey PvP tourney. However, the Storm PvP now has no timer on it, no "Season 3" banner on it, and is simply inaccessible for me (and others apparently according to the event thread in the Missions subforum).

At least I don't need Spidey covers But HP and ISO would be nice...

Send in a CS ticket. They might even answer you before season 5 ends.

It's a connection problem. Usually closing out the app and then doing a fresh reload will clear up the problem.

Have the same problem.

Restarting app and phone did not help!

It is an anti gaming measure.

But I'll circumvent it in a little while. Figuring out how to break their game without cheating is the most fun part of this game anyway.

Since the servers obviously are working well, I tend to agree.
We'll see for sure when we get greyed out nodes right from the get go in Spidey.

Same problem here. After about 20 minutes I could enter Cat5 again but it only had one node. I played the node and got kicked again. It's now grayed out like the original problem. I also had about 400pts+.

People in my alliance have been locked out for 14 hours. Don't hold your breath.

Add me to the list of locked out players.

I have opened my ticket. I don't expect immediate answers and fixes, but the lack of basic acknowledgement is extremely frustrating. I have enough anecdotal evidence to know it's not just an isolated issue.

i'm almost 100% certain this is an anti tanking measure, it makes sense with the change in the rewards structure. i got locked out at 500ish, i did a couple sims(won) and then got up to over 100 in spidey. doing that opened 4 nodes, i did those(over 30 points each!) and then did sim again which opened up a node, once i hit 700(AKA the point where MMR doesn't matter) it functioned as normal. so....i'm sure it's an anti tanking measure.

It may very well be. It's still endemic of D3 though and it's grating. A secret change, to fix a PvP ranking system, one that no one really knows anything about, that's changed about 18 times already, and with previous tweaks that no one knows anything about. We have to wait for way too much time for someone to take the 3 minutes to make a post about it or a game update message to know if it's a bug or a system change. Come out and say you made a fix and that's what it is or just say there's a problem and they are looking into it. Either is fine, but do it just so people know what's going on.

Add me to that list then - and if this was a change to stop us from lowering our MMR, why not announce it in some way? I'm completely locked out of a tournament I had access to this morning and have engaged in no tanking activities all day, then when I approached 500 points nodes started disappearing now I'm locked out. This is **** with an event ending tonight and limited time to participate.

Count me in on getting locked out also. So sick of all these problems. If i miss out on spidey, im going ballistic.

if it is a anti tanking measure, then the least they could have done is announce it on the forums rather than these stealth updates that tinykitty everyone over, especially the people who haven't even started the event.

Got locked out here too and I don't even know what tanking is! So if it's a measure to prevent it, the net might be cast too wide.

I mean, I gather that it's something to do with losing games so that your MMR rank goes down - but I tend to only run into teams that are my level or lower so I don't give a tinykitty about lowering MMR and stop paying attention whenever a thread starts talking about tanking.

Well I needed them (for ages there were no Spiderman rewards!) and I was locked out of game for 24h till the end.
At least my alliance gave me a yellow Spiderman and somehow I stayed within T100 for a blue Cover, but this sucks.
I want to know if this is going to happen in Spidey too?

It happened to me in Shield Training earlier today as well. I want those Hottie covers from Webslinger so I will not be experimenting too much in there.

This has just happened to me in in spidey pvp...haven't tanked in ages and did recently purely out of chance and being fed up of hitting the max 141 and buff character wall. My reward was several decent fights then complete restriction from playing the game. Now... I've got a bad rep on here for swearing but seriously, if I could give you a piece of my mind right now. D3p are the worst cs team ever

This is definitely not intended, as an anti-tanking measure or for any other reason - sorry you're experiencing it, and we're working on it.
