    This complaint needs to be added to "ATMs keep spitting out $100, even though my account as no money in it", and "Supermodels keep hitting on my whenever I go to a club"

    But...the points would be down to nothing in a few matches. I guess if you had infinite time to play this might be worthwhile...50 games to earn 50 points...that sounds awful actually. This is a problem, but you should probably post in bugs and open a ticket.

    That part i didn't know. I got 2 rounds of seeds, worth 20 - 30 points each, and 4 2* covers to crush into iso, was very happy.. haven't had time to play the event again, but noone is attacking me and sitting at #6

    I think everyone is in Ultron~. Combined Arms doesn't really offer a decent reward and Hulkbuster is wanted by people. Sacrifices were made. Also it's off-season.

    You say that, but when the enemy is boosted 100 levels even seed teams do damage. A match is a match, and costs health, no matter what. And the reward for fighting is the same, just the threat of retaliation is gone.

    My Combined Arms seed teams are worth 9 points now. I'd much rather be fighting people worth 30.

    I've been trying to get to 200 points fighting those seed teams, and after getting 6 characters with low health and a couple of healthpacks used I stopped playing the event.

    I used characters not optimally lvled but enough to beat those boosted seeds, the problem is that they do dmg and eventually you have to heal or change chars. After some matches they give only 10-15 points, so its really slow to climb, I rather invest the time on ultron, my alliance is quite casual and we will need every point we can scrap to get at least one or 2 ironmans.

    Otherwise, its "free" iso, slow, but free icon_razz.gif

    I have the same problem in Combined Arms, I was going to ask the same thing. Oddly, one person hit me, but I can't skip enough to see anything but seed teams.

    And it is a problem. I stopped at 100 pts because it's boring to fight poorly composed (yet buffed) teams for 16 pts. I'd much rather take on a real match for 30-40 pts. Less grindy, less boring.

    EDIT: I am in slice #1.

    Also in slice one, I climbed to over 300 where it is down to 6 point matches as far as the eye can see...

    I guess with ultron going on there is just ultra low participation in combined arms

    This happened to me in the Mystique PVP. I had nothing but seed teams, of course I didn't complain because they were easy but also a pain to climb in points since the seed teams were only worth like 10 pts. Nonetheless I made Top 25 for 2 Steve Roger covers with only a measly 150pts but at the cost of barely reaching 4,000 for my 10pk. I had to work the SHIELD SIM for a bit. Of course then next 2 PVP's had NO seed teams! lol

    I've kind of been getting the same thing.

    I'd like to issue a formal apology to B4conm4gic for beating up on his team five times in one night, because I kept getting his team over and over again in the draws.

    The seed teams may not be worth much (jst got my first 16 and 15 point ones, so they are going down), but i get to play around with alot of characters that i have not been able to level, against characters that may be high level, but have like 1 cover in 1 color.. so any damage done is mitigated by the fact that i doubt i will use that character again for a while.. and with no retal...no worries.

    and will never complain about loads of free iso

    At 365 my matches are worth 5 points. I know all eyes are on the Ultron event but it would be nice to get some dev input on this. At least an acknowledgement of this

    I can surmise D3's input:

    PvP is working as intended.

    Last time I played a PvP was the Hulk event about 2-3 weeks ago and the top score in my shard was 250+ points. After that rubbish, I'm not going to bother until this game gets it act together.
