    No problem. I'll try and keep track. Right now it's around 4700. And still moving slowly.
    Thanks for the updates. I'm quite interested in this as well.

    Nice! I realized I need to play Webslinger today, so it's good to know I won't have a handicap.
  • Up to 2k pts in SIM and now all opponents are worth 8-12 pts. No longer worth dropping HP in shields. MPQ gonna MPQ.
  • It's usually better to get up to around 1600-1700 and then wait unshielded until closer to the end when the masses descend on Simulator to boost their season scores. Then you get a bunch of retals plus a good number of high value targets start showing up.

    And then all but the first layer of retal nodes get wiped out by forced update restart.
  • New to the forums here. Is there a way of knowing how many events remain in a season, and/or how many we've already completed? I'd like to make sure I'm on pace for a 4,000 for the season, but have lost track of the events.

    While I'm asking n00b questions, how does the season have a definitive end time when individuals can choose when their last event ends?

    You can calculate how many events are left from the days remaining. There should be five events left now - Cage Match ends Friday, the Gamora event during the weekend, and then three events next week (First one likely being Cyclops).
    The season ends when the last time slice of the last tournament of the season ends. Until then, you can still play the Simulator even if you have completed all the events in the season.
  • Excellent. Thamks!

    May I make a suggestion that we keep track of the events that have occurred during the season in the initial post? While I know we can track how many events are left from the days, it would be nice to see which events have completed. I don't think this is too much trouble.

    I just hit 2400 in Shield Sim for my shiny Cage red cover. I'm not going to shield so feel free to hit me as much as you can. Just be aware that it's likely I'll drop in value quickly so I may not be worth as much as the game says I am. If I do retaliate it won't be until the final 8 hours of the season. Happy hunting!
  • I also have gotten to 2400 (thanks to a crazy 200 point dump by JuneBug). I'm derping around now and won't be shielding until the last day (if at all), so feel free to hit me. If your name is awesome (like Stringer.Bell) I might just retreat each time to help you get up to those points too.

    Events have now been added to the original post. I'll try and do that for future seasons as well.

    Thanks to dreaded out-of-game-communication I also hit 2400 easily yesterday.
    I dropped to about 2K now, but feel free to hit me when I come up in your nodes and am worth points.
    My MMR appreciates it.

    I also hit the 2400 prog and don't care about the points. If you see me, hit me.

    Sorry to those I hit more than once on the way up. I tried to not hit anyone more than once, but damn if rng didn't keep putting the same 3-4 people in my queue at the end.
  • A friendly shield-sim heads up:

    The following players appear to have been sandboxed and are not actually giving points, in spite of them still being able to be queued, and their rosters still able to be viewed:

    J.Five
    Kevindlu
    wonderwoman
    Edflo
    Achilles (some numbers instead of letters)

    It will cost you iso to skip them (and often they'll be the only opponents you seem to queue for a while), but it's better than fighting them, taking damage, and not getting any points.
  • *sigh* Wish I had looked here earlier. Just wasted resources on getting several hundred points off of edflo and j.five that I never ended up receiving. Out of health now and going to lose a season reward because of it. (yes I put in a ticket)
  • Wow, glaring act of incompetence from the devs not to remove these guys from the queue. I assumed there was lag on the scoring or maybe these guys were high level seeds... probably won about 12 'pointless' matches against those sandboxed guys this morning.
