    This would be a good idea, if the covers that were given out weren't She-Hulk. It would have been nice for 2-3* transitioners if they repeated e.g. LCap, or BP in a short space of time, especially since I can see LCap being rotated out for Season X. At least this means She-Hulk might also be rotating out? icon_razz.gif

    Cap rotating out? Holy hell the nublets should be crying....I hope I get my 13th cover before then!

    Why so much she-hulk lately? Is she the new HERES SOME REWARDS character AKA 3*Steve/Falcon?

    My guess is that she'll be vaulted next season, so they're giving us several chances to get covers before she gets put away for several months. I could be wrong, of course, but I try not to make a habit of it.

    Interesting idea, but Falcon was given out a TON in the last (month? Season?) and he wasn't vaulted...I dunno.

    I don't think Cap gets vaulted at the end of a PvE cycle. They'll run Unstable ISO with Cap boosted before vaulting him.
    She-Hulk... Dunno. It seems to be mostly PvP staples that get vaulted.

    I don't like this event.

    550 points. That's where my Wolveroach account (3 max 2*, no 3* with more than 7 covers, Cap is 4/2/0 level 83/125 boosted) is seeing the wall. Not exclusively 166+, but 90% are 50 levels or more above mine.

    When I look at the rosters most of them have only a couple of maxed or close to maxed 3*, it just so happens that one of them is Cap. Or there's a level 180+ X-Force. I guess that's the way to progress at PvP, focus, focus, focus. Roster diversity my ****.

    Ah well, I've lined up 3 more matches and may get to 600 points, and may retain top 100.

    I like this event.

    My Moon Roach account is finally able to break the wall, at least a little. My level 190 5/5/3 X-Force, 120 3/5/5 Cap and 115 5/5/3 Hood have beaten teams with both 270 4Thor and X-Force, and used only a single (well 3) green/black boost. I take some damage, but they don't scare me any more. I'll avoid Hulk, but X-Force? Nah.

    No need to avoid Hulk when you got LCaps blue.

    I always like it when Cap is boosted so that my Hood is fully covered on all colours, but I could really use more of a break between seasons.
    3 full days is just not enough time to recuperate from the onslaught of new char release PVEs plus all alliance relevant PVPs of each season. I'd prefer at least 5 to 7 days off.

    Hulk is never really a threat. Just don't trigger anger more than once at a time.

    And in this event in particular, he's not so great since the AI has a decent chance of saving the extra 3 AP for hulk's terrible red rather than LC's reasonably decent one

    Went with the first end time because it works better for me, not thinking about the progression reward. Decided to climb early and hit 1100 - and then given the upcoming changes to shields I decided to try and make a push for 1300.

    Others must have had the same idea - I spend more than usual on shields but was able to reach it without too much trouble and a good number of defensive wins. X-force, cap, hood worked great.

    Something very weird is happening to me. I hit about 940 and all of a sudden all my matches are for 3-4 points with people who have 400-500 points. I've never had this happen before. I'm in Shard 4. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Yup!!!! Also in shard 4 and it is utterly ridiculous! Have spent over 1500 ISO on skip tax with the same players coming up....Even tried skipping every 15 min to find un shielded targets to no avail! Not even coming across anyone who is unshielded in my own bracket??? Something is really broke here! Also, some feedback on the "time slice trial" would be appreciated. It would be nice to see targets from other slices that are still open!

    Currently rank 15 with 777 points been shielded havnt lost points
    Played when my health packs regend and resheilded. Only lost maybe 3 matches
    Been up all night so i dont miss my chances but im never able to get these progression rewards is a joke
    I have spidey and pun maxed and thats it rest are 2*s ( have 3*s but arent viable yet )
    Yet im facing max xforces and lady thors
    Was hoping to make it to the cap cover at 1100 but last half of top ten are still 300 away and with attacks i doubt they'll get him either

    shard2 and i've hit a wall at just under 1100. Not the 270 xforce wall, the "every node worth 4pts wall". This is ridiculous, 1300 is impossible here. Wasted way too much imcoin.png just getting to 1000

    Yup, this is what happens in the "non-regular" time slices. There are less high-points targets for you to hit since less people choose these slices.

    If you want progression rewards, stick to the usual 1AM EST ending time. If you want placement, the less busy slices have a much lower treshold for top5/top10.

    I hear what you're saying, but I have never ever seen 400 point teams when I'm north of 900. At worst it was 700-800 point team worth low teens. I've never seen a wall of teams worth 3-7 points. I think something went wonky with the matchmaking.

    This is a guess but what's likely happening is all the targets that are close to you in ranking (700-900+) are all shielded at the moment. Therefore the matchmaking is giving you these match-ups. I'm guessing your slice is ending soon? Because that's the exact same thing I run into when I pick those slices.

    Then again, the matchmaking in pvp is really bad and this could be a bug (remember the time slices are still in testing). Just like when you get the constant 5 same match-ups no matter how much you skip and the only way to get new match-ups is to play one of those.

    Guys in slice ending in <2hrs

    If anyone reaches 1300, please dont reshield, so we can all have Ladythor!

    Even better, force retreat to me & others near 1300 !

    Thanks!

    Time slice is weird...I thought I'd be cruising to 600 pts since its just She-Hulk, but seems like the big dogs are out to play. My buffed cap can probably take some of these teams but I hate biting off more than I can chew.....

    In the time slice that's ending in 15 minutes (4pm ET - slice 2?) Hit the 166 wall at 450 points. For tinykitty She-Hulk covers!
