So played 4 of these things so far. Either I have really bad bracket luck or there is some serious sharding going on. Between 4 to 7 players with at least 1 screen of 166+ in each bracket so far. Pretty sure 20-35% of the player base playing LR does not have 6 or more 166s.

Anybody know if they are sharding these things?

I'm not sure if there's sharding, since I don't look at my brackets.

But, try to enter at odd times. Heavies farming Iso enter immediately, and minmaxing heavies enter at the very end of each round.

I enter with at least 30-40 minutes left so that I can kill all seeds + some real teams to grab 300 for sure, if you don't want to be sharded with me. Or in the first 10-20 minutes.

I've entered once at 30 minutes in, once at 65 minutes, and once at 10 minutes left, and have yet to get hit with a death bracket.

Been mixing it up, hopefully just bad luck that will turn. Started at 1:10am, 3:00am, 9:35am, and 12:05pm

Did the last-five-minutes, three-match plan in the last round and got first - finally broke my 8-token 2* streak with two 4*s. Blue IW (my fifth), Purple dio (also my fifth). Blue IW was actually my second on the last day, because I got my day 340 one yesterday, and I guess I'll be selling a purple Dino in three weeks, if not sooner, but it was nice to get something that wasn't a 2* finally.

I now need 2 Greens for IW, and 1 Green (respec) for X-Force, and they're both done. Dino is 1/1/5, and Fury 1/1/1.

I've been regressing in these. First 3 LRs, I placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd (in that exact order). Went to sleep and then just played my fourth LR and finished Top 10. Maybe a badly timed bracket as I was 20th after my first match.

Something really weird is going on in my current LR.



I played 4 or 5 matches against seed teams, should have about 90+ points at the time of this shot.
Played another one, get the reward for passing 100 points, and I'm displayed as having 50.

I'm guessing it's lag in reporting my score, but that doesn't explain why there would be more than 20 players in a bracket.

I think that Devil Dino is running amok amongst the hamsters at the moment...

I've gotten the prog rewards for reaching 50, but haven't even been bracketed yet. What is going on?!

It's very nice LR. Got from 10 tokens 4 Dino and this - http://i.imgur.com/YPDW1k7.png

Wait, what is that? Is that a random reward for opening an anniversary token or something?

I just jumped from 25 to 94, so big lag and hopefully caught up now. Probably trying to push out an update during the anniversary might not have been the best timing.

Nevermind, just went back to 25. Good times, hopefully sorted out in 48 minutes.

getting prog rewards but not seeing a bracket rank so far, what is going on?

CrookedKnight

Brackets appear to be totally borked for some reason. Wonky scoring, placement not matching up with points actually earned, etc. They're aware of it but if they know what's going on they haven't posted to say so.

Got lucky and made it to 500! Got 2* Torch, though. ><

I had you queued but didn't want to hit forum people. I made it to 473, then got hit for -60 or so. Still took 1st by over 100 so it's all good in the filled .

Anniversary Tokens haven't netted me anything in a loooooong time. It's 40% chance for a gold cover, right? Yeah. Sure.

I appreciate it! I think the server issues made it easier to climb as well.

Certainly could be. I got to over 400 before the stuff settled down and updated my score correctly. I still had 5-8 point matches until I skipped a couple times toward the end and got 20+ pointers. Would have been close to get to 500 with the time I had left (didn't play all the way through, and did a lot of under 10 pointers), but I netted something like 10k during that round (counting prizes), so I'm pretty content.

I managed to get 1st place in a LR! Yay!!

Bad news - all anniversary tokens were 2 that I already had.

Same thing happened to me man. lol Of course the last 8 anniversary tokens have given me nothing useful so I'm starting to think what's the point? but then again the ISO is useful.
