    Wow, Elektra IW? They're really being careful Huh? Making sure if everyone reaches 1k nothing at all. Is going to change in the game?

    Bit odd that LThor is the reward, considering vaulted status. I'd figure they'd post him as a reward in one of the off-season events when un-vaulted.

    I stickied the thread and added the names of the Event Tokens.
    I also added the Standard Token award to Ranks 401-500. I'm not sure which template is missing the token. I've noticed that for a couple of these event threads, the standard token has been omitted for the last placement rewards.

    Thanks, I grabbed it from the 2nd post of the stickied thread (viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5721). Just assumed it was the one to use.

    They're making the yellow very dear, aren't they? I was really hoping for yellow being the top award.

    >sigh< My LThor is presently 5/1/4... I'll probably have him 3/5/5 by.... 2016?

    Uh, isn't it the PVE progression right now?

    Double ISO and lowered progression rewards? Wasn't Christmas last month? icon_e_smile.gif
    I'll do my best to reach Elektra, but I don't care much for the other rewards, so that's nice.

    Wow.... icon_eek.gif

    It's like D3 posted in the game, "Go ahead, IHatePVP. Try out the new Prog tiers. We got this."

    With an icon_invisiblewoman.pngblueflag.png cover I'll be getting next week in the Daily Rewards putting me @ 5 blueflag.png , and greenflag.png on the bottom being the Last one I need for the Asgardian, I can't see a single reason not to try to dive(climb?) in for the purpleflag.png Prog-fest.

    Also, vow time: no pvpshield.png s once the 1K mark is(hopefully) hit. As above, placing high in rewards is not even the slightest of concerns for this one.

    Now everyone give IHatePVP U-Turns until I hit purpleflag.png -town icon_mrgreen.gificon_e_wink.gificon_e_smile.gif . I'll post here when you can all beat me senseless. icon_e_biggrin.gif .

    2K Iso at 650? I can dig it.

    Hopefully I can actually get there, though.

    they always give away an essential for current PvE durring PvP a couple days after it starts.

    My LThor is 3/1/5, so I only need the yellows. Hoping this will be a light PVP with people only pushing for season score.

    Now that my Blade is cover maxed and sitting comfortably at 153 (will bring up to 157 as soon as I have the ISO), I might actually be competitive.

    Mines 5/0/4

    Of course his Yellow is only available to top 5. I'd like to offer D3 my middle finger.

    Wow, Blade is such a fun character. This PvP is the first time I've played him though.
    Falcon/Psylocke/Blade is amazing strike tile craziness.

    Ldaken is insane with him. And xforce is pretty ****, since both will be matching black.

    I had hoped that now that it'd only take 1000 for the 4 star cover, I'd have a chance. The problem I hit is the 4 star wall at 800 points. After 800, every match was 270 Thor and X Force. Those fights can fall apart way too fast with both of them on the other side to be able to reliably gain points, even if no one was attacking me.

    It's still really early in the event. I'm in slice 4 which has only been open 12 hours, but so far I've gone up to 650, threw in some level 15s, gotten knocked down to ~200. Went up to 700 and threw in another tank team ( icon_beast.png represent!), and plan on climbing back again. Still 48 hours to go and with double iso8.png I bet a lot of players are doing similar things. This should ultimately result in more points in the pool due to the way losses under 600 are scored, so with enough time there should be a bunch more players up near 800, and not all of them will be running team SexGoddess. Might take a couple of shields, but 1000 is going to be remarkably easier to reach for a single player now working unaided (outside of game communication for when players are shielded (thus adding even more points to the pool), coordinated retreating, etc), and because of that, more people will be climbing that high, thus making it easier for other players to get there. A rising tide, etc.

    Is it likely that Lazy Thor will be the next (which is the last) PVP this season?

    Wasn't sure given his current status. Trying to decide whether to hoard ISO to level him up (since 4hor won't be playable) after I get the High Stakes covers.

    It's a definite.

    Most of us had the common sense to spec Blade 3/5/5. icon_rolleyes.gif

    Even spec'd 3/5/5, you still want to throw out a Nightstalker or 2 to keep opponent AP down, especially if you're up against XForce or 4Thor.
