    This is the first event I have had where I had the featured character leveled up (114 LC - 3/3/3), and boy does it make a huge difference. I think my best PvP score to date is a little over 600, and I'm thinking I can probably get that 800 pt token.

    What kind of score do you need to get top 25 usually?

    409 was good enough for my top 25 joined the first slice with an hour to go

    I had 405 pts came in 27th AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i was 24th with one min to go.

    but the good news is


    FIRST TIME EVER HIT 400 and that is even with jumping (skipping) a few teams maybe in another month or two i can easy hit 400 maybe 500 pts without skipping people

    WOOOO 400 pt broke WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 25 coins . Also broke the 1000 token woooo now to figure out to hold the tokens and spend 1250 on a 3 star cover or buy 2 slots

    one thing i did notice though when did they take away your been attacked. I went from 289 to 308 but before the token reward poped up my score went down to 299 even with no pop up saying i was attacked

    1. Unless buying a 3* cover is going to make that character into someone better than your current "A-Team", you're better off in the long run buying the roster slots.
    2. If your score after a fight said X, and then your score was X-Y, it's because the points that the fight is "worth" to you before you fight it, are not updated in real time. So you hit someone who is worth 30 points, but in the meantime, they lost two fights and end up only being worth 20. After you win the fight the scoring animation will tally 30 points onto your score, but when you check your score against the leaderboard it will pull your real score and it may differ. Same thing if you load someone into a node, and they are worth 30, but in the meantime they climb up a whole bunch more. You can get more points after the fight than the original 30 because they're at a higher score and are thus worth more points.
  • First match up, AI does 3k damage to Widow in one turn.
    **** my life.

    Edit: Seriously, first **** match. I'm literally crying here. I never feel more helpless than during PvP when the AI just beats my **** around. The game refuses to give me a non-Widow match, so she's stuck out there and she just keeps getting punched; I just want to get her off the field you stupid game ARGH,.
    Edit2: Slammed my tablet against a table and now the graphics are all blurred. Sigh. Think it's time to take a long break again.

    First pvp in awhile I couldnt hit top100 with my 94 roster. Wemt to bed around 500 pts, woke up and had lost 160. Fine, I wil grind in the last hours here. Win 3 matches, after 4th, I was hit enough times that it said " and others." Lost another 90 pts. So screw it, I guess not making up that climb since now everyone was 166+.

    Pvp is such **** in it's current state--weneed more separation from 3* and 2* teams...and a limit on how many times you can get hit in a time period

    i feel you..
  • Looks like my 575 is going to hold on for about 80th. That makes back to back top 100s for me for the first time. Go go ** roster. Hooray Ares/Black Widow. Next time is DD and I only have 4 covers for him (I guess 5 now) so I might be able to do it 3x in a row.

    And my token from this event turned into my first red Luke Cage cover. Huge event for me. 7 covers now for LC, hopefully next Deadpool week features Cage and I get an 8th which will put him as my primary tank. I'm getting close to having a real lineup!
  • Missed out on another top 100. Finished 103 in my bracket. The reward seriously needs to be increased to top 125. It's almost impossible to get rank high enough for the reward with a 2 roster

    Somehow won my bracket with 477. I'd assumed that was because maybe no one cared about getting DD covers or something, but based on posts here, I clearly got a very weird bracket. I also barely saw any combat worth more than 21 or so after the 300-point mark.
  • Argh, I spent so much time yesterday focusing on the Sim, that I forgot to start this. By the time I realized it was ending, I had less than 2 hours left - smack in the middle of my morning shift. I didn't even come close to top 100. That's the last time I decide to wait until the last day to start in order to try find a weak bracket. I could have used that DD cover.
  • Slice 5 is ferocious right now! This season is off to a fantastic start. Lukes one hitter quitters are bringing the pain.
  • Well. Had shielded up just north of 900 points earlier today, shield ran out with under an hour left to go in the event and I was stuck unable to check in because of work until just now, minutes after the event ended. In that 55-or-so minutes unshielded, got hit for just over 300 points loss, dropped from like 13th to 75th. 270 XF/166 Daken/2-3-2 Cage at whatever level that caps at. I imagined I'd slide backwards a bit, but would still finish top 25. 300+ points and 60+ ranks lost in less than an hour unshielded seems kinda excessive... So much for that last blueflag.png Daredevil I needed to finish him.

    Few events ago I was making a last minute dash for 1k. I won two fights in about four minutes, landed at 992. Went for one more and in the two minutes it took me to win that last game I lost 300 points. So yeah, 55 minutes is WAY too long to be unshielded anywhere above 700 points or so. It really doesn't matter what your team is. The system is that ridiculous.

    Sorry you got nailed with it too, but thanks for commiserating! Maybe there should be score anchor points - your score cannot drop below those thresholds once you cross them, or a fixed max amount you can lose (50 pts? 100?) in between log-ins. Something to take the misery out of missing a chance to get back to the game when your shield drops.
  • I managed to finish 4th in slice 5. It was a heavy hitter whale fest. Luke has since become one of my favorite 3*s. I had a lot of fun during this event. I always enjoy rubbing elbows with the Xmen and any other heavy roster players that are up for the challenge. Fantastic event!

    55 minutes is way too long to be unshielded if you give a **** about your score at any level. 5 minutes is way too long to be unshielded above 700. Yes, the system is ridiculous. I will eat my own shoes if it changes...ever.*
