    I suspect those who can will play in the final hour of the PVP making this one even crazier than usual.
    I guess you're right, but it doesn't really matter for me as in the final hours I will probably be behind an 8h shield and I won't be competing icon_razz.gif

    The cascades have been turned up to 11!

    I haven't had to struggle so hard to get to 600 all season. I think I've wiped on every third match so far - even (ab)using Patchneto doesn't help. And so many team-up Supernovas icon_evil.gif

    I'm tempted to just say tinykitty it and throw up a 24-hour shield despite only having about 550 points. I can't push any higher with Patch, CMags, Daken, Psyduck, Punisher, Fatthor and Panther all dead.

    Edit: screw it, I'm shielded. Feel free to hit me if you see me. I won't be busting out unless the alliance needs more points.

    Rotten luck! I had the exact opposite experience--I broke 1,000 points this morning by accident. I even managed a couple defensive wins. Currently shielded at 1,011. Will add another 100 points before the event ends.
  • i think a lot of folks are focused on pve. ive been climbing leisurely all day, but as i dont need the covers, my output will most likely fall short of my typical performance. although, im prob one of those who will make things messy during the ladt hour

  • I'm shielded until the end at a little over 900. Feel free to hit me.

    Not quite shielded til the end since there's 9+ hours left, but shielded for the next 8 hours so if you see me, hit me. I hopped up to 1110 and just can't find a match worth more than 6 points. I guess either no one's playing or everyone's shielded. It's pretty funny cause I keep cycling through usual huge targets, beee, WYP, Icemandabeast, couple x-men. They're all sitting on like 600 points but I guess we have similar MMR so I'm just tinykittied until I can catch one of the high point x-men shield hopping or one of the aforementioned forum heavies decides to climb to 1100+ in the next few hours. I do have the benefit of having Shamsali in my bracket, so if I see him unshield maybe I can find him?
  • I apparently ended up in an at least relative death bracket; right now my top five is already over 1000. Glad I don't need any covers, but I had been hoping to farm some serious ISO this one and that's not looking likely right now.

    Ah good, I gave you a few minutes when I saw you at 1045, hoped you'd make it to 1100 in that time.

    Not so lucky myself, there are NO points out there. Went over 1000, came out to -40, so shielded at 960 for an hour or so.

    same for me
    and by the way I'm in your bracket Bowgentle. Currently #11 with ... 650 pts icon_redface.gif
    Apart for the top3 the scores are not so high but after all the grinding in pve I'm way too lazy to go and reach my 800 mark reward
  • So I haven't been playing the game very much in the past... couple weeks. Trying to get back into it, and I see this has Hood covers. Hoping not joining until late will help me get a couple covers. What 2 Star Team should I go with for this? Don't have good enough covers for my Patch and CMags. Should I just go with Ares/OBW and CStorm/MNMags?
  • Sure wish I could connect to the game righr now and push for that top 5 spot.

    Went down right at the end of Deadpool vs MPQ

    I guess he really is determined to keep his stash.
  • Well I was going to push up another couple hundred points. Looks like I'm not. Yay servers.

    Sure wish I could connect to the game righr now and push for that top 100 spot, or you know, at least 300 points...
  • Over/unders if the servers come back before the end of this?
  • If I had any need for Hood covers I might be upset right now. icon_rolleyes.gif

    On the plus side, this gives our characters time to True Heal, so we can get in the last hour of play for this. I need that Grey Hood.

    Oh wait...
