    So much ISO. I love it! Instead of putting out fodder teams, I'm just going after the cheap wins so that I have to fight more battles to get to my normal shield point.

    We're in the middle of a blizzard right now, so work has been canceled, which means I can dedicate a little time to playing tomorrow. Hoping to do some grinding.

    I really hope all this means is that icon_blade.png is going to be the PVP with the new Prog reward test.

    I assume so. Probably Thor rewards with a Lord of Thunder rounding out the season.

    Just wanted to add my voice, I love the 2x ISO.
    I hope there are more events with 2x+ ISO as I am completely ISO bound with all of my characters.

    We had a power outage at work, so I took the time to (very briefly) poke my head above 900. Considering that all it's taking to seriously raise scores is double ISO, the lowered rewards may make the 3* cover, at least, much more available in the future, and maybe even the 4*.

    And how fast did the retaliations come?
    I have reached only 600 at the moment (just now indeed) but it's much early then usual for me. Now I'm expecting retaliations... icon_neutral.gif

    This is the most laid back pvp I've seen in a while. I went to sleep with 840 unshielded and woke up with 740, using patch hulk (which is practically an auto win from xf/4t)

    It was an hour or so later before I checked again, and was down to about 715, which is actually better than I expected. I'll probably farm some more retaliations for ISO later tonight, but I"m going to be more concerned with PVE and LRs, since I don't really need Blade covers.

    Hit 1100 without too much trouble - retals held off until I hit the progression, which was nice.

    Hit shamsali back and forth a ton of times earlier for the iso and a chance for a good teamup - hoping for the maxed t4or or x-force, ended up with yellow sg icon_e_sad.gif.

    Managed 675 pts, which is pretty unheard of nowadays, and shielded just for the heck of it. I'm only #80 but I'd really like another Blade cover so here's hoping...

    Two milestones for me. My first top 25 finish, and my first finish over 800. I've passed 800 before, but had always been knocked down before I shielded.

    Wow, I triple hopped from 166 wall, at 530, to get to 657 and got bumped out to 106... ****? Just a ridiculous bracket??

    Wasn't planning on spending so much but each time I was in T100, the scores moved real fast. T80 at my last shield with half an hour and ended up at 106.

    I'll watch the next few events... but did the 2*->3* transition get screwed over again?

    Congrats if you are not in this bracket. I have no intention of trying to get that Squirrel Girl cover at 1100 cos it's just too crazy.

    I generally don't shield but because blade is my closest 3* to being maxed a decided it was worth it. So I spent 225 HP to shield. I had to unshield with 8 mins left and fight 3 battles just to get top 100. Finished with 647 points. Which for me is a high amount. It was definitely a tough event

    That's my bracket!! Last time I chose a bracket that ends at 4am pst. I don't know what I was thinking.

    I ended up getting pushed down to 102 at the last minute with 584pts. A shame as I really could have used the Blade covers because he is my closest to being maxed as well.

    I was fighting an X-force/Thor team and the AI got a whole lot of yellow from cascades. I thought "****, here comes the Thunder Strike! That ain't good!". Then the loaner Squirrel Girl used The bigger they are... That was very nice of her. icon_e_smile.gif

    Whew. Checked the standings with 5 mins to go and I was 86th... 3 mins to go and 93rd... when it hit 1 min to go and I was 98th, I broke shields to try to rush one battle... but was a little too slow.... and I ended up EXACTLY 100th with 612 points.

    Overall, this was much easier for transitioners, as there was way more fodder attracted by the 2X:iso8: rewards.

    Really needed the green on my Blade (now 4/4/2).

    Yet another death bracket for me. I spent quite a bit on shields and got up to 620 points with about a couple hours left to go. I was ranked at 78 when I went to sleep. When I woke up, I got the surprise of my life and fell completely out of favor. My final rank was 117. I actually broke down and bought a couple of green covers as he is a couple of purples away from being cover maxed.

    I'm tired of going into these PvPs thinking I have a shot at Top 100 just to have the rug pulled from under me at the very end.

    Did anyone else get errors in the rewards or their actual placement in the rankings???

    I literally set my alarm for 4am (even though I'm a school teacher who wakes up at 6:30am), climbed to #50 in Cover Squirrel, double and triple checked my position on the leader board, shielded myself, then screen capped the rewards for Top 26-50, screen capped the event's main page (which shows that the event has 2:58 left to go and my shield has 2:59 left to go, as well as my position at #50), went to bed, woke up, AND THE GAME HAS ME FINISHING AT #60........thus the rewards for 51-100!!!!!

    What gives? :+/
