    I see that there's nowhere near the activity in this PvP as there was 1.5 days prior to end as in Punisher. There was a lot going on that day... Not so much today. Totally dead out there.

    Does seem that once over 850 or so...there's no one out there. Most node matches are lower point total teams. Definitely seems a bit slower than usual, even though the pve is still in process.


    There were a couple at 1600+ at this point in pun PvP and several above 1200.

    lol...I know what you mean. I wound up becoming a pin cushion after 950 as I must have been one of the only people above 900 unshielded, lol. Seems like some scores are going up though...maybe everyone so excited for the she hulk pve next icon_e_smile.gif

    Me and Shamsali were just out trolling and waters are rough. Gotta go fast!

    Same here, I made the mistake at 950 of trying to push for 1000 before shielding again and came out of a 3 or 4 minute match to see "-132". Whoops. Still ended up 2nd in my bracket after a recovery run but whoops.

    Haven't really worked this one yet, going to climb at lunchtime since I think my chances in the PvE are now shot anyway.

    Zhir... yeah, I was lucky that I only had time to do one match earlier. Had come out, did a match, reshielded...less than a minute later around 4-5 hits came in all at once.

    WorldRunner...yep, seems that way. A lot of hungry climbers out there right now. Guessing it will all balance out once the pve is over.

    I will say, all these level shifts have made this pvp a bit interesting and confusing to keep track of. Odd levels in nodes is so different now, lol.

    Relevant. PvE ends at 11 for me.

    That is f'ing perfect! Lol
  • I'll have to think of a couple good 2* teams to go with doom. Well, one and OBW and Ares/Thor/Wolvie. Really need to get more 3* covers and level those up.

    Doom/CMags/Punisher seems to be quite the popular choice - I'm using it too so I can see why icon_e_wink.gif

    It's not quite as durable as Patchneto because Punisher is taking quite a beating but once you get Judgement & Demons out its pretty much all over.

    I am shielded until the end unless I am falling out of the top 5, so go ahead and hit me if you see me.
  • Welp... I placed the wrong shield and lost 700 pts overnight.

    On the plus side I have 20+ retals worth 40 pts.

    Everybody and his mother got a cmag maxed.. when will they nerf him??? when?? talk about roster diversity.. i cant wait for fury to be available.. they are too many 3* maxed out there and roster diversity is fool's gold .. the top tier is too crowded and i hope fury will be the difference maker.. until then i will just hoard isos to be able to max him at once when he ll be there.. its out of question for me to invest isos in bag hulk and punkstorm and all this batch of average chars...

    Edit: after phasing out all my chars (sentry, hood, hulk, LT, LCap) and been nearly wiped out after 2 fights each time, i reverted to the cheesy lineup of patchneto.. as a result i didnt lose for the next 2 hours.. this game is broken.. you don't need to level your team.. shield hoping boosted with sentry as every xmen do or cheesing with patchento.. there is no other way to perform in pvp at high level..sad.. icon_e_sad.gif

    I _was_ wondering why you appeared in my nodes, with 750 or so points o_o

    And I'm shielded right now, so if you got me, people, either hit me NOW or hold off for another 4 hours or so.
    Thanks icon_e_smile.gif
  • Guess I won't be skipping Phaserhawk any more, after skipping over him 3 times (like I normally do with forumites I recognise) this morning the git just hit me :p Maybe I'll leave him in my retal queue and see if his points pass mine.

    So I've tried this UDaken/Sentry combo now for my shield hop.
    I must say, it's not quite foolproof.
    First match I had Sacrifice out by turn two, but it took _forever_ to get that one green match. I had the enemy Sentry down to 4K life on match damage alone before I managed to fire off World Rupture. Then things died.

    Second match I got 3 or 4 green matches, but it took forever to get that one _yellow_ match for Sacrifice.
    Then the AI matched away 4 or 5 countdown tiles, so World Rupture didn't quite take out the enemy Sentry and UDaken, so I had to follow up with Supernova.

    So, yes, this combo is crazy effective, but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable doing 2 matches in prime time above 1300 points.
    Right now it was the perfect amount to get over 1100.

    Oh and thanks to all those X-Men going for crazy points in each and every PVP! Everytime I get one of your high scorers into my queue, I can count on getting another 2 if I check the other nodes icon_e_biggrin.gif Always 80+ points.

    Shielded through to the end, will only move if I slip out of T5 (which is unlikely), so hit away!
