    Same here, though I shielded at 801. Who knows, maybe my bracket will be lazy enough that it's good for top 25... But i'll be glad if it's in top 50 for the little HP discount off this shield... (yes, I will be upset if i'm somehow out of the top 100).

    That score should easily be top 25, and depending on how the bracket moves in the next few hours, could be top 10.

    Don't know what brackets you have been getting but in the two events prior to Thor, I finished in 25th both times with 813 and 856 points

    I shielded early last night at 813 in 2nd place in my bracket. I was only seeing 19 and 20 point opponents and I already have 5 Yellow. I fell to 7th overnight and I am glad I am shielded as a lot of people hit me for 30 and 40 points. I would have lost 200 points if I was not shielded. I will be looking to get the higher placement in the PVE for the extra HP since I don't need yellow storm.

    In my current bracket I am 15th with 991 25th is around 900 points. With 2.5 hours to go I can see needing over 1K to even be in the top 25.

    This is the first pvp where I've won more points on defense than I lost. I stopped playing yesterday at around 700, and got pushed through defensive wins to about 850.

    Made it up to 1100+ without a shield (but did have to buy a single healthpack), and I'm shielded until the end unless it looks like I'll drop out of top 5. Hit me if you've got me.

    I wasn't able to play in the last hour of LoT like everyone else, but my 760+ points got me 7th. I really, really doubt our top 10 would have ended up needing 900 pts. And it's not my roster or days played...

    And that's with good players like hailmary still lurking in the 800s or so

    Well this bracket totally blows. Made my late appearance and barely clinging onto 5th. So nice to get smacked for -83 on my 3rd fight but thems the breaks. I joined this bracket and watched it fill. It took 3 hrs and I am not exaggerating. I have timestamp in our chat and it was right abt 3hrs before it fully filled.

    Now that's some messed up stuff. I've been timing mine and each one has taken no more than 20 minutes to fill.

    Wow. I'm shielded at 800 until the end I think.
    In my bracket, top 10 entry is above 1000 and 800 ranked me at 36th. top 25 seems too far and I'm not really sure that 800 will buy me a top 50. (Thatlist and Morgh in this bracket)

    MoStorm wasn't my priority but I hoped more than the black cover.
    I guess it's not just sharding, it's usual that the competition is more intense for quite new character.
    Maybe even an overall increase of the player base? Indeed I never had as much defensive wins, so I suppose there was some relatively new players who misjudge the difficulty...

    Anyway, ranking require more involvment these days icon_neutral.gif

    My bracket is plain idiotic... devs need to stop stop this tinykitty....
    Number 1 is at 1452,
    then there's 5 at 1206
    and number 10 at 1111

    (I think that's the same bracket that Sumilea is in)

    You got lucky - I got belted as soon as I broke out of my shield (to lose to Electro but epic cascades will happen). I had enough points lined up and my boosts all ready to go to get myself over 1000 and into the top five.

    Instead of 110 points my shield hop netted me an awesome haul of seven points. Not even double digits icon_rolleyes.gif

    The only upside is I seem to have avoided a death bracket this time around - 10th is only 850 something at the moment.

    I'm in your bracket. Now 800 pts means 38th for me. This top10 is really impressive... and a bit scary too icon_eek.gif

    Yes which is why I said I think I am going to need 1k+ to make top 25 which is impressive to say the least. Okay I can see 25th spot now its currently at 955 and going up icon_evil.gif

    Similar thing happened to me. Unshielded and came out of my first match to a -44. Guy somehow killed me super fast with hulk obw or I just got super unlucky and my timing was awful. Did one more to net maybe 30 points on my hop. Not that the extra 40 would have probably done anything for me. Currently in the airport being the single dad with 2 kids under 5 so it's not like I can improve my score. Obviously shielded so hit me if you see me.

    Would you mind telling me which team you used?

    I skipped a Sentry/Daken team when he popped up in my nodes.

    Bet you 5 bucks it's Sentry/Hood/Daken.

    It would be a smart money making move by D3 to put the most competitive players who shield hop the most in the same bracket. I'm sure they wouldn't do that.

    But...I'm just saying. icon_twisted.gif

    Yep, everything seems ok with our bracket icon_lol.gif

    Hood (355), Daken, Sentry. All maxed.

    Saw that. Said "Hells no" and went to beat up a Patchneto team instead icon_e_biggrin.gif

    (You were worth **** at the time too - I'll take on Sentry/Daken but not for 19 points)

    Hats off to the 1000+ scores. I don't know how you did that without multiple health packs. My lvl 125 Hood only lasted about 2-3 matches before needing a refresh. And that was if I was able to avoid a TU attack which nearly always was instant death.
