    A bit into a battle on that triple muscle node, and a Threaten pops into a small cascade, but enough TU AP that they get a friggin World Rupture teamup off, with a few threaten tiles on the board. Yikes. Fortunately the board state has a red match cascading into another red match - but now the WR countdowns are at 1. Mjolnir’s Might gives me enough Yellow AP for Thunder Strike. Thunder Strike... does not give me enough green AP to Call the Storm. icon_e_sad.gif

    But Chemical Reaction does icon_twisted.gif

    Managed to snag top100. The no rubberbanding was really a kick in the shins. Since I was counting on it I was only lazily doing the subs a couple hours before they closed.
    My scores were probably somewhere around 5k 5k 8k 8k 10k and 26k for the last one simply because I had to catch up so much.

    Top40 was easily doable if I had known there was no RB on the main. Are there more events without RB? I'd like to avoid such surprises in the future.

    this was actually a really fun run of Thick as Thieves, the rubberbanding was actually decent, made up over 10k when the goal was reached and clawed my way back into top 40 after missing the end of the last sub, also got top 2 in this final sub! icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Boo! I lost about 20 places in the last 10 minutes icon_e_sad.gif

    It was only extra ISO and HP but that's still annoying.

    Edit: and my last TaT token failed to disappoint - yet another Moonstone.

    :/ #107. Missed that extra 500 iso from yellow Spidey. Token gave me Green Rags. Wish it was Red instead.

    Earned Deadpool red at about 4PM DST today.

    Currently waiting on my two Spidey covers.

    Got the last TaT token for my >25 Scotland Yard finish - Cracked for a SuperStorm Green.

    Not bad for an event I didn't join until the morning after the end of Category-5.

    I'll give TaT a 7.9(which is AMAZING considering this was Thick as Thieves! icon_eek.gificon_razz.gificon_cool.gif )

    Did anyone get their alliance rewards for TaT?

    (later edit) Asking because I got both main and sub individual rewards 15 minutes after the event ended, yet the alliance rewards are still nowhere to be found 2h 30 later... meh, they'll be distributed eventually.

    This iteration of TaT gets a 10 compared to previous iterations of TaT, though almost everything is a 10 compared to the previous iterations of TaT. The main nodes with high, fixed value that aren't repeatable is a very good idea, but this is offset by the 26 hours 'let's make sure everyone gets nailed by schedule no matter what timezone they're in' subs, so I'd say the overall event is fairly neutral/indifferent, which would put it in the above average range of PvE events because there are a lot of PvE that are downright painful to play.

    I got a nice haul of 3*s during this event. Deadpool from progression, 2 Spideys for Top 100 (both needed), Hulk black and GSBW green from TaT tokens (both needed), a Black Panther yellow from daily reward (my first BP yellow), and a IM40 yellow (eh) from a standard token.

    I haven't gotten it either, bit strange considering I got the rest of my rewards for the sub and main an hour ago. I'm sure it'll come around eventually.

    I got the sub rewards, but I haven't got any of the main rewards yet, personal or alliance

    Waiting on alliance rewards as well. D3 seemed kind of out of it today. Took long to put up PVP, alliance rewards taking a while. And we haven't heard a beep from them since the smoke cleared from the server outage thing.

    I guess they realised that nobody cared about Spidey rewards so they scrapped giving them out completely icon_lol.gif

    Not completely - I got my hard won (through minimal effort) blue cover about four hours ago.

    Ended up just missing out on Spidey but can't say I'm too disappointed - how many one cover 3* does one man really need?! And my Mags looks all pretty with that extra cover. Thoroughly enjoyed TaT on the whole

    I was able to go to bed on time and still got top 40 in the main and top 50 in the sub, so that's a successful PVE to me. Pkus I got Deadpool up to 97th level with the ISO, so I should have all of my 3*s over 100th level again by this evening some time.

    Still no alliance rewards for me yet at 08:30 EDT. Anyone else still missing theirs? Got my personal rewards for main, but not alliance.
