    Over/unders if the servers come back before the end of this?

    My money's on the server coming back up with 5 minutes to go then promptly crashing again as everyone tries to gain some points.

    Seeing as I used my lunchtime playtime on the Deadpool event and didn't really want to break my shield in this event to push for an extra hundred or two hundred Season point and my alliance is firmly ensconced in the top 100 for the blue cover I need, this works out really well for me as no-one will be pushing me down places. If they want to leave the servers down until the event is over that would be just peachy.

    Mine too.

    I'm tempted to do a Patchneto blitz but I think I might be safer just hiding behind my shield and accepting that I sucked hard on this one.

    True. I didn't have planned a last push in PvP but as Deadpool made me wake up early...
    Although I didn't score very high in this tourney when I checked before server issue I was still #23 so I was tempted to secure a top 25.

    Fortunately MPQ take care of us (and of our health) and has some mechanics to forbid doing two last-hour-push-craziness in a row! icon_lol.gif

    Bye, Grey Hood. I actually really needed you, but it will have to be another time.

    I need blue even more but my ranking was not even close, so it wasn't even a possibility, sadly.

    The blue was the only one I was interested in... but I gave up for top5 24h ago, so I'm less annoyed than most of you with this server issue. It's still a lost opportunity for a better hp/iso reward though

    Alas, this shall be the first time I don't take a top 5 since the reward structure changed. Was busy all day today, and then had a 5+ hour drive home, so in prioritizing PVE with what play time I had, only got up to about 700, which last I looked was 11th. Plan was to play in the hour after Deadpool, and try and snipe a spot without a shield. Only need the black cover to complete the Hood respec to 355, so it's not really a big deal. I was looking forward to trying to get there.

    Out of curiosity, what were you planning to do with a 355 Hood? Sentry pairing?

    At least I could get him finished off (at 4/5/4) if I top five it so I suppose I should make an effort...

    Pity my LazyThor is so garbage icon_e_sad.gif
    Most will focus on Deadpool PVE so if you get in early and shield up you may have a shot.

    It's looking like this bore fruit.

    My connection came back... a few minutes after tournament's end!
    Is this a plot icon_question.gif

    edit: connection lost again after a few more minutes, maybe there is no secret scheme...

    Back away slowly, and put down that picnic basket.

    Same for me.
    During the few secondes when my connection came back, I saw that the final leaderboard summary wasn't published yet

    Yep. And I just now realized I made a mistake.

    I have a maxed 553 Hood. I had his yellow and black from PVE, but sold the yellow. I should get a yellow and black from PVP. I could have played a few days with the 355 build, and gone back to 553 if I didn't like it.

    I just maxed him recently, but never use him much. He's nice in PVE and the yellow does a nice job of clearing out countdowns in pesky hard to reach places. But I rarely use it aside from that, so Sentry bombing seemed like it might be nice.
