    This morning I found I had 2 defensive wins against the same player, +60 points or so. During my early morning clear of the essential nodes in the "Give me a Beast, please" tournament I got a 3rd defensive win, another 32 points, from him again. Are so few people playing this that I appear so often in someone's queue?

    I understand your question, but man, I would love to have that problem! Almost 100 points from one player hitting his head against a brick wall.

    I've had some weirdness in this event and SHIELD training today. I will occasionally see high leveled 3 star teams, more on my level of play, but am mostly running into 2 star teams. I've netted a handsome sum of points for the season off of running into so many weaker teams. This has never happened to me before in my nearly a year of playing. Has this happened to anyone else? Is anyone else seeing anything weird?

    Keep in mind that MMR is kinda screwy after an event like Balance of Power, where some 2 star players were using characters they haven't maxed yet. There will probably still be residual traces of it in Dr. doom's PVP too.

    How do you get Trial by Combat She-Hulk(Jennifer Walters)? Someone needs to put her in game. And bedtime Deadpool!

    I'm seeing this as well in Trial by Combat. I guess I should go look at the Shield Training...

    Shouldn't be a surprise, I suppose, but I've thrown out more 1 cover She-Hulk TU's during this event then I'd ever be able to use if they were worth using.

    That's almost exactly what I ran into after the last BoP, though I had to put up with relatively rubbish points to go along with it. Took about a week (most of three events) to sort itself out.

    Cunning, an event which is only worth doing if you rank 1st with 1300pts+

    Meh.

    I wouldn't mind 1st place, even if I only had 500+ points...which is only going to happen by Sniping this time(1st place, that is).

    See ya at the 10 min remaining mark!

    so i'm trying my best to get through this event while saving a seed node(levels 60/1/1) and when i get to my final score(1400ish usually) i'm gonna beat that with my level 45 patch/Hulk Combo....as sort of a present to the people who are climbing icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I'm really glad I decided to level up Jennifer in the last PVE. Having 5 blue covers made shield hopping my way to the Fury progression pretty smooth. World Rupture followed by Settlement is great, but if you can't reach enough blue then Sacrifice is a good quick back-up plan. After WR resolves simply use Power of Attorney on the leftovers icon_e_smile.gif

    As this is one of the few PVPs that end in a decent time in europe, I'mm confident I could at least get top 100 and a Doom cover with a late push.Sitting at 146 at the moment.

    Thing is, he'd be yet another 3* that I only have one cover of, so not particularly usable. Meanwhile, my Ares is horribly unbalanced at 5-1-1 so I could actually make use of that red cover (though I already have maxed Thor so he'd only be back up there for a while)

    So dear friends, what do I do? Sit back and grind away at the Simulator instead, to get that Sentry? Or push on, bag a Doom and hope that I get something other than Bullseye or Moonstone from Heroic pulls in future?

    So far Doom is only marginally useful in villain lightning rounds, but 2 star covers like Ares will come relatively easily as a random reward from battling. If you have the roster space for Doom, grab him... otherwise trade him in for 500 ISO

    I have enough HP to buy more roster slots, just getting swamped with 3* that I can't really use!

    I guess you're right, at some point I will get luckier with Ares rewards for battles. Going through a lovely run of getting MHawk just before he gets improved icon_e_smile.gif

    So finally found enough nodes that weren't filled with Bowgentle to get to 850 so I'm done. It's good enough for second right now, but I really doubt I'll hold top five cause I can't be arsed being awake at 3AM to fight for it.

    Hit me if you see me.

    Shielded for the duration at 806. Can't imagine I'll unshield, since I'll be at work for the rest of the PVP (maybe at the end, if it makes a difference, which it probably won't). Feel free to attack if I'm in your queue.

    I had the lovely experience, first match I played this morning, of realizing the Lazy Thor I thought I had with me in the match was actually a Ragnarok from the night before's lightning rounds. Still won, but I did have CMags with me.

    Hit me now, while I'm shielded (1217 points, maxed Sentry/Hood, lvl 140 She-Hulk). I will unshield only probably in the last hour of the event when my healthpacks are fully replenished.

    Someone probably already said this but, I just want to complain that the rewards are Black/Blue/Black and then the alliance one is also Black. It should be 2/2 not 3/1.
