I have 744 points at number 25. I have spent over 900 shielding these past 2 days. This is unacceptable.

Has This happened to anyone else?

    Please explain why this is "unacceptable".

    You may want to re-evaluate your shielding strategy.

    Well it's unacceptable because if I have 700 pints I should not be struggling for 2 covers. Top 50 should get two covers.
    The REASON spent so many coins is because I went to sleep and shield expired and lost 277 points.

    At that point I had hit the wall so I had to fight 249,166,166 teams with a measly 122 Patch, 166 Deadpool and Hood.( I'm not a tier hor) so I was making about 100 points up per shield. So I was back to 21 and I went to class and got out and I has been pushed down to 29. So I broke my shield got back to number 24. And shielded again. Now I wait hoping I can stay there for 1 hour. Pray for me.

    Honestly, I wish you luck. But, when the 1,000 point progression reward is blue TGT, competition is going to be fierce. It drives scores up.

    People are more likely trying to hit 1k for the 4Thor cover than fighting for Gamora

    Damn I forgot about the 3 to 4 star transitioned.

    Damn y'all gotta fight for 1 cover that only comes like once a month. And you have to make 1000 or get 1st place. Not looking forward to that transition

    If you find you having to shield a lot to stay in a low point score, then you should wait longer to push points. Get to 700 when it's not too late, but late enough that you don't have to spend as many points to maintain the shield until the end of the event. I recommend the last day or day and a half to start pushing. Get around 500-600 points, and shield hop the last couple hundred points. Then maintain until end of the event.

    Edit: also sleeping past the shield has happened to the best of us all. I feel your pain losing over 100 points in the span of a few minutes. It'll happen more often when you push for higher scores.

    Nothing like this and then losing a fight with 3 minutes to go and ending up at 11 without the blue 4thor.

    Top 25 for 700 is pretty standard. I'm not sure what you've been used to. You really need 1000+ to crack the top 5, and that was true even before cool downs.
    Used to be that only top 10 got two covers.
    And it's not the game's fault you spent so much because you fell asleep.
    Good luck, though!

    This game is dumb af. I'll I needed was 30 points to make top 25. And then I lost 4 matches I'm the row because somehow the **** **** patches kept doing beserker and getting cascades. Wow the devs totally **** me on purpose because I had not lost a match that whole 744 point climb. Gtfoh. Wow this is **** ****. Now I wanna spend money and buy covers for some reason. This game is so addictive but angering and disapointing ... I hate myself

    OP, I can understand your frustration. We've all had bad luck, tough runs, cascades at the worst possible time, etc. Do yourself a favor, and try this mindset (it works for me): Just remember that you will get another chance at those covers. It may not be as soon as you like. It may not be easy. But I guarantee you will get another shot at picking them up. You're not gonna die because you didn't get Gamora this time around. Breathe, man. icon_e_wink.gif

    Don't waste so much HP ($) shielding. Don't play so much. Don't be so competitive. Don't WANT things so much.


    You'll be happier like me icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I'm learning to be happy just getting one cover. I got the 725 point HP reward and then got beaten down into the low 600's. Fought my way back up to end at 724 and finished 47th. But I spent no HP on Shields so I ended up making 150 HP and getting a single cover. Used to be that kind of score would have been good for a top 25 and 2 covers, but, hey, the meta has sort of passed my play style by and I just don't want to be spending hundreds of HP on Shields. I'll get the characters maxed out eventually, especially with help from the Deadpool Daily. So find the play style which is fun for you, and don't sweat it!
