    Hopefully, the 900 prize on his PVP will be Purple. And I'm hoping for some useful covers as the reward for that one. I hate having to shield hop just for one cover.

    It's going to be greenflag.png or blackflag.png and we all know it. My guess is leaning greenflag.png since black was the progression reward in dp vs. mpq.

    And done with this **** event and 10+10+25k enemies... 1007 will get me a t25 but whatever - t5 is 1128 minimum, will be probably 1200 at least in the end.. definitely not worth the HP required to hop without fully covered GT...
    T10 also aint worth the additional 75 HP and slowly chipping with XF/Psy at 45.000 healthpoints...

    Just wanted to share a pair of ties in my leaderboard. With 12.5 hours left, this obviously won't stick.kId2qHal.jpg

    People are daft :S I bet they are spending close to the price of that one cover bought directly...

    This is why I only play in the last 1-1.5 hour of each event, ever since I came back to the game 3 weeks ago. I make a quick push to 600-700 for a t5 or at worse t10 and I don't have to deal with this craziness. I just hope this plays out as it always does in this pvp as well. I will be trying for the first time my XF whom I leveled 70->222 yesterday, so this will be interesting. I waited for some time to see if I could get his last black from an event, but seeing that the black was a reward in this event, I knew it was hopeless to wait any longer.

    Crazy scores in this one. Just climbed to 1160 before bothering with a shield in slice 3, and am still seeing targets in the 30+ point range.

    Man, I forgotten the time slots of this mode. Is there one that ends 10 AM EST?

    Slice 1 ends in about an hour.

    I usually enter in the last 1-1.5 hour and do ok for a t5 or 10, but this time disaster struck. I choose a slice and I see the #1 with 1200+. GG. Oh well, going for t5 or even t25 was crazy anyway. I'll wait until they nerf IF's purple and they start giving it for free.

    My final score was 1003. I missed top 10 by 2 pts. icon_cry.gificon_cry.gificon_cry.gif
    I was planning on breaking my shield with 3 minutes left, but my coworker started talking to me about the snow day. *shakes fist*

    Still a pretty good week. I got my second yellow Thoress and 2 purple Mystiques (1 from progression and another from DDQ)

    I thought heading into a stall for one's final hop at work, was standard procedure...

    Yeah the problem with that is when you try that strateg the 10th time for a cover you actually want, you get grouped in a bracket where first has 1k+.

    PVP brackets are a mystery and always safer to just go with the guaranteed unfortunately.

    LOL, that's what happened this time. I did OK though. 90 minutes for 766. I could be in t25 if I wasn't hit hard twice 10 minutes before the end, but it makes little difference since I don't plan on using IF's green, and t5 was impossible. I think I will try this strategy in the IF pvp as well, because at least it is hit or miss. If I join 1 day before the end, it will definitely be a miss as I am not as competitive as others who aim at the top and I don't want to grind so hard. I'll probably check some videos about the different strategies used to fight more effectively teams with high health because it's the only thing I see when I get to 650-750.

    I'm not at the level most guys are yet, but my ** team got up to 424 for a couple seconds before getting hit about a dozen times and more since. It was so brief that the hp progression never registered icon_mad.gif No time to rinse and repeat over and over, so I'm all the way down to 265 now. Oh well. Next time if i screenshot the 424 real quick, do you think they would give it to me if I asked? lol.

    Unfortunately, the number you see is sometimes wrong. Have to go to player rank to see your score for sure.

    the number was correct adding my match won points to my previous points but i got hit while in that match probably and it took a few seconds to pop up after my match was completed (i guess?)

    The game works asynchronously from the server. I found that out on a day where my Internet was dying every other minute but I started noticing that I only get disconnected after a game ended or started, never during. Your score as well as your opponent's score is what your client last heard from the server (which may be wrong in the first place), and your score after you win/lose a fight is what the client THINKS is your score based on what it last heard from the server. However the server can always overrule the client when there's a conflict. If you look carefully at each game, you'll find that there's almost always a couple points discrepency in either direction simply from the fact that your opponent's score likely have changed between the time you queued him up and the time the game finished, but the client is happy to continue to report the wrong number. If you just watch the score at the node select after every match you'll notice that your score mysteriously go up or down by a few points usually within seconds after you finished a game (assuming no attacks on you occured). That's the time it takes for the server to correct your incorrect client score. Normally you don't care if you have 205 instead of 208 or 201, so people only notice it when you have 999 instead of 1001 but something like that is actually always happening.
