Seed Teams

So I joined the first lightning round 2 minutes after it opened and got 0 (zero) seed teams.

Wondering if other people noticed the lack of seed teams. This basically means ISO farming gonna be tougher now icon_e_sad.gif

    someone from our alliance got 3 seeds and no more. It looks like our iso income will be cut off abruptly with that last patch... icon_e_sad.gif

    Are you saying you don't like facing level 200+ Hulk and Cap Am off the bat?

    I don't like hearing that....I just went through normal number of seed teams (entered immediately). If they are gone, I have to take back my praise in the Save the Seed Teams thread.

    Usually not two minutes after are they all gone - but if I ever join 5 minutes late I get either three or zero seed teams. Must join right on the hour.

    I joined within the first 30 seconds and got to 126 points with seed teams. This is lower than what I averaged before (~175) but still quite a bit more than I was expecting with the change.

    This is my first LR test run though so time will tell if I just got lucky.

    Edit:
    Second LR: 145 points on seed teams.
    Third LR: 185 points on the seed teams.

    The seed teams (they have weird names) have no "roster" exactly, if you click on their name is says something like "this players roster is unavailable" - since they aren't really a player.

    Entered at 1.23, played seed teams to 157, which is a little more than I usually get, so I don't know. icon_e_smile.gif

    I played to 171 on seed teams, that's around normal (often can only hit 150). I did enter into higher teams than I expected coming out of that - but that happens sometimes on the first LR - everyone needs the ISO and competition a bit more fierce.

    So I'm guessing it either has some wrinkles in them or the timing needs to be exact

    Oh well icon_e_sad.gif

    Seed teams appeared to be normal for me. I jumped in right when the LR started and got somewhere around 140 on seed teams. Based on what Will said in his post about seed teams I wouldn't be surprised if you miss the start of the LR by even a couple of minutes you won't get seed teams. In Will's description it said that if you had the client open before the event started you got some seed teams, and that has been changed so that your queue only gets filled once you actually start the event.

    I got 3 on one round, and made it to ~150 in another on seeds.

    Third time I opened the event 2 minutes after open and got 0. That was typical for me every other week *except* last week when everyone was so focused on Season PVP and a 4* PVE that it was like lightning rounds weren't even happening.

    This was something that was announced in another thread.
