The Hulk (May14-May21st, 2015) Bracket Size______

killerkoala

You don't join a main bracket until you select an end time. The amount of people in your bracket should be in a red band above the black band that states how much time is left in the event. It is easiest to just check the last post in the thread, to see what the latest info someone has provided. If the time zone settings in your user profile are correct, you should be able view the time the person posted, to see how current their info is. There is a possibility of multiple brackets filling side by side, so join a "fresh" bracket at your own risk.

Useful info to provide

1)Time slice you are in
2)Current amount of people in bracket
3)Leader in bracket with amount of points
4)Time you joined the event, if it was not right before posting in the thread.

Time slice - _______
Current bracket - _______ people
Leader - _______ (name) / _______ points


Full bracket = PLAYERS: 1000

And from Mags1587's awesome guide:

pisode 2.5: The Hulk
Length of Event: 4.5 days or 9 days
Sub-Events? Yes; Alliance Rewards in Sub-Events? No
Number of Sub-Events: 8 (x2)
Length of Sub-Events: 12 or 24 hours
Main Nodes after Sub-Events End? Yes
Unique Reward(s): Hulk Green Cover - There is a one-time main node that will give a Hulk green cover as a reward. In early runs of the event, there was a global progress bar that unlocked this node. In the most recent run of the event, the node was unlocked mid-event after Hulk joins forces with you.
Other Notes:

Two sub-events run side by side. One sub will have higher points along with higher enemy levels.
Subs: Nevada & Canada; Greenland & Romania; Sudan & West Sahara; Amazon & Bolivia
There are 2 run-throughs of the subs; once fighting Hulk, once after Hulk has joined forces with you.
Main nodes are only playable once after they open and have no rubberbanding.

Slice 2 Veteran just filled.

I don't need Daken so I don't have to bother about ranking, nice!
I could use this black in progression reward though.
Anyway, this thread is surprisingly quiet... maybe because the succession of PvE without break made everyone tired?

my guess is its because everyone is regrouping. I'm one that refuses to stack pves on top of each other and I enjoyed the breather between that they used to give. I'm in the opposite camp as you. I care nothing about colossus but really could use some progression to my daken. i'll be using this thread - I just don't know when yet. I may need to travel over the weekend (driving), so I won't be able to play as much. i'll either hop in tomorrow or Monday (depending on plans) and I hope this thread gets more active by then.

It's nice getting my Colossus covers, and I certainly could use some more Daken covers. So I definitely want to find the right bracket to join.

I'm still relatively new to the game and was wondering how to use this information. I obviously would like to avoid the big guns if able, but I'm not sure how to do that based on the information given.

Sorry if this has been answered before and thanks for letting me know!

vet slice 3 - 565 players

@minox: you try to hit fresh brackets so you get a head start. The later they open, the longer they need to fill.

Any update on slice 3. I know first one flipped around 7

I too would appreciate an update on Slice 3. It's the only one that works for my schedule, but I'm trying to delay in the hopes I'll pull a Wolverine token before I have to join.

Thanks!
I can confirm your information, I actually dived in and entered as the 107th player
I'll play lazily and won't probably play all the week but I'll try to contribute to the updates for this
Slice 3 - vet bracket !

edit: with as top 100 reward in Vision PvP, I don't even need the cover from last progression reward from this Hulk PvE therefore I can really play casually

Unknown

Anyone have slice 5 vet bracket info?
Thanks!!!

Unknown

Any update on slice 4?
Much appreciated.

SnagglePuss

Any update on slices?

Also what are the points for 1 clear currently?

Need to plan how long i can delay so i can get Colossus, Daken and take the weekend off

AXP_isme

Slice 3 filling relatively slowly, 228 as at 14:41 BST. Probably won't fill today at this rate. I'll try and update again in a few hours.

minox - pve is all about pacing and consistency. if you don't join at the very beginning of the event and enter a pve 8 or 16 hours after the first people that entered your same bracket, they have a distinct advantage of making 1-2 clears ahead of you that you cannot catch up from. this thread is help avoid putting yourself in a bad position for those who don't join a pve at event start. if you get lucky and get in a fresh bracket early and can play optimally, you can rank very high. or if you can get an early fresh bracket and play well, t50 is not hard. or you can usually play more casually and easily hit t150 - those are the ranking cover cutoffs for the pve awards (t150 gets 1 cover, t50 gets 2). complicating matters is some recent confusion of multiple brackets being open at the same time (I've been lucky and not encountered this yet and this would be a horrible event to have that happen because I really want 2 dakens out of this). you need to know if the system considers you a vet or not - most of the info here is for vet brackets. if you don't regularly finish t150++, info here might not be useful for you.

looking for slice 2/3/4 info. looks like 3 might take some patience. thanks in advance.

Just joined slice 4 because I only "want" the colossus progression. Have my daken spec'd out already.

Vet bracket at 572. Will update when full.

Slice 5 is at 638.

Shard 3 vet bracket - Players 266

Leader Scottalexis22 at 5485 - he's about 1k ahead of #10 so I think he's grinding a bit. Most likely we're 1-2 clears in.

I just jumped in - I have no designs on top anything. Just going to muck around.

Might be a while, FYI. Been 1.5 hours and only at 623. Leader is at like 5k, so they probably have one refresh or more on the bracket.

I guess stay away till it fills later this afternoon/evening, maybe? I'll post as soon as I see anything.
