I can handle that I might not end up ranked highly, and I can handle having to grind my way to 1300 for a cover, but losing points each time you're attacked basically makes both of them about ranking, not grinding, which kind of sucks. I liked what I EXPECTED the mechanic to be... put in your time, and get a decent reward, be the best and get icing on the cake. But it seems like both are about being the best... not necessarily a huge deal in PVP, but it would be nice if it wasn't presented differently. I won a battle and LOST points overall 'cause 3 separate guys attacked me while I was doing it. I'm barely at 500 points (probably lower in the time I've spent typing this) and I know I've lost AT LEAST another 180 points. Boo.

jobob wrote: Thanks guys for the tips. Yes, I'm playing with pretty much a 2* team. I have a couple questions about the feedback: "Defensive Team" - So how does the game decide your roster when someone attacks you? Is it always the last 3 (or 2 + Fury) that you used in the event, or is it your highest level heroes? And if I go play a story or different event will it use those players, or keep the last ones from PVP? "Retaliation Queue" - Alright I feel dumb but I have no clue what this is... Is there a way to attack players who have hit you for more points? I only see the 3 circles in the main event window, and they seem random... Should I be looking for someplace else? Does being on a team affect personal score at all? And are there any good alliances recruiting? I just picked a random one, and I'm down to 391 points, but overall we only have 601 and are ranked 5609... I think it may be time to jump ship? Thanks again for the help guys

PolarCows, Daveomite, Talahamut, as well as a panda of doom, a carebear, an X3, and some others I don't recognize. 8th place is 941 with more than 12 hours to go. I think I'm going to try for 1300 if I have the time today, but I'll be surprised if that's even good for top 10. Fortunately little punnyfoofoo is already maxed (albeit 535), so I don't really need the prizes.

I can see the whole top 10 being over 1300 by the end.

There are people sitting shielded at 800 points who already have a maxed punisher.Isn't that a waste of hp? Is it because the season started and everybody is hot for the XForce Alliance Reward?

Anyone shielded at 1000 points has plenty of time to do the 4 jumps to get yourself to 1300+. This event for me was stop at 800 or spend the HP I had obtained in the PvE to hop to 1300 and I decided on the latter.

At 4:52 left, he was at 1698. (I have screencaps with the time-stamps on them.) I assume he was using boosted Sentry/Hood, but, even so, 86 points in two minutes is pretty amazing.
