    I can't figure out what a good team to use is for this one. My mystique is 3/5/5, lvl 130 (boosted to 227 this event), boosted her Masterstroke is a more reliable nuke than XF's SS, so I'm torn with who to pair her with. Here are my options:

    XF, lvl 170, 5/5/3
    Luke Cage, 166, 5/5/3
    Hulk, 153, 5/2/5
    Patch, 153, 5/2/5
    Storm, 120, 5/3/5
    Hood, 120, 5/5/3 (willing to spend enough ISO to take him to ~160, but am trying to hold off on spending ISO until after the R75 patch)

    I'm leaning toward Luke Cage and Hulk, puts my total HP pool over 30k, with no match damage thanks to Luke Cage's 5 red. I'd probably skip that team....

    Thoughts?

    Patch/Hulk is the most obvious choice to me -- might scare off a few defensively, and Mystique has no active ability conflicts so she can do her thing. It's going to chew through health packs though.

    Is anyone else seeing an unusually high rate of attacks at a relatively low point threshold? I should have know something was off with this event when I started without seed teams, then took my first attack at 50 points, but anywhere above 400 is just non stop attacks. I haven't legitimately attacked another player since my initial session. Its been all retaliation nodes, I don't even remember what a yellow node looks like

    I am getting attacked quite a bit, but only losing 3-10 points per attack.. still in top 100, even though i have been unshielded since last night

    I'm having trouble even hitting 300 points. Of course that could be because most of my roster is dead from the frackin' Simulator Hard Mode, (including Mystique who is the Required character).

    +1 for no seed teams. Hope they didn't mess with the MMR again

    ok, I tried to make a push up this morning and kept getting the same 5-6 teams cycle over and over again. 2 were beatable but were health pack sinks, so I gained like 40 pts and reshielded. anyone else experience this? this really bites because I'd like t25 here and don't think that's going to happen where I'm at.

    Well, this is incredibly un-fun - like everyone said, no seed teams, all 166 matches, lots of repeats and just generally an unrewarding grind. A couple more like this and I'm quitting PVP for good. This game is supposed to feel like a diversion, not a chore.

    I hope I get the token I never received because the servers were stressed-out...

    Let's see, this evening I could finish out this miserable, no fun, lousy event, or I could play the interesting, new, no-getting-sniped-by-270s PVE. It's such a tough decision...

    never mind... I guess nobody was playing this (thank you ultron and the glitches it created). in the last 6 hours I only dropped ~5 spots and I don't think my rank has dropped any on the sim.

    Was trying to get in for the 1pm PT ending event, but kept getting kicked out as soon as I entered due to server issues. Came back to try for the 4 or 7pm ones, and the event's just gone. Guess I won;t get the Steve Rodgers cover I needed for Ultron.

Guess I won't get the Steve Rodgers cover I needed for Ultron - which is a mess of rules and server errors anyway.

    I think I'm just going to check out of MPQ for the weekend and maybe beyond. Just too frustrating and not worth the time or energy.

    I made up to 1000 points and I didn,t receive the rewards for 950 and 1000 points because of the server problems
