    I would rather shoot myself in the face at this point. I have played this game too damn long to grind 12h subs. This **** makes people quit.

    Has anybody started pretty recently and is able to tell us if there is an old bracket open or a relatively new one. I'm looking to start soon but don't really want to join and find a leader on 10k or something. Thanks!

    Cool, so that's in the middle of the night for the Europeans. Saturday afternoon for me, luckily. There will be some wailing and gnashing of teeth in 3 or 4 hours, I'll warrant.

    Dude i said earlier in this thread that i'd rather just spend the 2500 HP for a Fury cover and kick myself in the **** because it would be less painful.

    I have a total of 5k in this event and have been largely ignoring it since day 2.

    I took the free green hulk and kept it moving.

    I wish the best to everyone who is grinding this one till the end. I'll take my sanity and finish S4/ start S5 off on a high note.

    easy...marc

    Dunno about grinding, but it seems worth doing at least the essentials at least once. ISO and a token guaranteed. And they're not hard.

    Is anyone else getting disconnected frequently?

    Just confirming - there were two 1hr subs that opened that I missed?

    Four subs ending 20 minutes after a PvP tournament is a total clusterfartfignewton!

    Yepper.
  • Okay, that tinykitty was unnecessary.

    Not cool, devs... not cool.
  • Managed to get into the extra subs just in time to do one battle in each. Yay? This event is so absurd. Machine gun 12 hour subs for Fury covers, what could possibly go wrong? I wish I was further back so I could really not care, but I'm still in striking range of the top 10. Come on, grinders! Leave me in the dust so I can officially give up hope and go back to being lazy. icon_razz.gif
  • I got good news and bad news. The good news is nobody has to grind 4 brackets for 24 hours. The bad news is that you only have 90 minutes to do 2 brackets.

    It sort of worked out well because grinding 4 brackets for 24 hours would've been insane. I think it'd make more sense to just have the 'Hulk joins you' event happen at the end of the current Hulk sighting missions and extend the event by 1 day instead of having 4 subs running concurrently.

    Better than 4 subs and a PvP ended at the exact same time. Unless you were pushing late, this shouldn't have been a problem. If you were, then blame your poor planning/life obligations.

    Master duck, how are you so ahead of me in main. I've mostly been scoring near the top of every sub. I can understand 1 or 2k. But man, I just hope I can hold onto 2nd

    I mamaged to do a full pass on both existing subs (I was planning on doing them in the last 45 minutes anyway) and barely had time to hit all four essential nodes on the Hidden Stash subs.

    One of them I got in the top 10 simply because the bracket had about 50 people in it icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I was not so pleasantly surprised when I woke up this morning and got my free hulk and then noticed there were 4 subs ending in a less than an hour. I grinded like an animal and managed to play all nodes without having to buy healthpacks. On the plus side I now have healthy 5k lead to 10th place (easy bracket easy life) and one Fury cover is as good as mine.

    I was quite happy to see the top 10 in hollow point for my sub 1K score during the mad rush at the end. I am still somehow in top 10 but I sure the weekend grinds will push me out of that - I am just doing the last couple of refreshes for ISO - I have enough to max BP now but will wait until I see the power up characters on the next PvE.

    I grind like a mindless slave.

    I suppose - if I had known about them...sucks as I've been 2nd most of the tournament...not gonna catch up to you now icon_lol.gif
