Any Slice 2-ers?


*Thanks for updates. I'll edit as I'm able.

secondary ET1 alliance member said he was 44th when he entered

In slice 2?

slice 1 there is another vet bracket he entered at 44th

Ah. This is very confusing, so I may just skip the event completely.

Slice 4 is at 96 players, leader is Preciso with 20k. So far top 50 is ultra competitive, and I don't expect that to change.

I joined this slice (4) as no. 97 @ 2pm central time.

The bracket now has 100 people, something like 2-3 people an hour. So it's unlikely to fill before th event ends. Maybe on Sunday afternoon I'd there is a late surge, but I wouldn't (and didn't!) bet on it.

I can't see any higher than the 70s, but it does appear that competition for top 50 is pretty fierce.

Just to illustrate the competition, I have only "slipped" by an hour since I feel asleep at the beginning of a clear last night, otherwise have hit everything. I have been yo-yoing between 20 and 1 between clears, so there's at least that many who haven't missed one yet. Was hoping some would start to take it a little easier by now but I guess not. Gonna come down to some end of subs grinding and then we'll see who wants to grind all weekend.

Thanks - not a good time to join. I really need the 60k progression but will likely miss it if I wait much longer (the torment of 2 PvE's ago - damn Green Torch). Not sure whether or not I care enough to grind for Top 50.

I wonder how slice 4 is going, given 5 will seemingly never fill.

Slice 5 now at 706.

Just joined Slice 4 and it's at 119.

You need to join sub 3 in some time slice to rubber band the last 3 or 4 refreshes to make it easily. With only 24 hour in the main you need somewhere just over 6K a refresh to get to the 60K progression reward and I do not think the nodes were worth quite that much. Slice one adding 3 or 4 people and hour I might just fill before sub 3 closes but I not bet on it.

Vet slice 2 at 281, filling somewhat quickly. Leaders around 9600-ish atm.

Seems to have slowed down; now this slice is only at 301. Leaders around 10.5k.

Wow, this slice is moving REALLY SLOWLY. Only up to 440 players so far, and that's over a day later than my 301 post! (Top players now over 30k.) The good news is that if you do end up in this bracket, you are guaranteed a top 50% placement. No idea why it's so slow, but I could see it never filling. And I'm still pretty sure this is a vet slice.

My same slice, 2 days later, is only 492. No chance it will fill. No idea why no one is getting placed here.

Leader is pirsq with over 87k.

Just a warning about Slice one. There 926 players in main and only 924 in the sub I not be surprised if it takes 1002 to fill the main.

I don't think the same people are in the subs as the main. If they are it's possible 2 people in the main just didn't start the sub yet.

You are Auto added to subs now - since they started time slices your sub and main are always the same.

Oops, saw this too late. Joined Slice 4 my last night (now sitting on 141 people), did two refreshes, sleep and one now and at 14k (it's around 4+k per set of nodes). Hoping I can scrape over the line... but have a feeling once some of those latter nodes turn hard and deadly, it may not be enough. Anyway, will try...
