    Good luck and Godspeed, MPQers!

    Day left on the sub as well so it doesn't really matter when you join as the final grind will sort everything out...

    That just made it even harder right.

    Slice 3: 835 players, #1 is Boldbrute @31402.

    Expecting this to fill before the current sub ends.

    Edit: up to 851 players. This is filling a lot slower than I anticipated and may not fill until well after the current sub ends (< 3 hours remain).

    Good to hear about slice three and five. Any news on slice 1 or 2?
    RL finally got out of the way today, so looking to pick which slice to join & plan sleepy-bye time.

    I grew tired waiting for slice 3 and jumped in slice 5. Entered 1-1.5 hours ago as 250. After a full clear (except the Beast node) I am #12 with 4.5k. I already have a green Carnage from a token so I probably won't even try for top 10 as it's too much trouble.

    The slice 5 that opened following DrStrange-616's bracket filling is only up to 194 players right now. Are you sure you're in the same bracket? Leaders in my slice 5 are:
    1. kingfisher33 (10151)
    2. Mighty Phi (8915)
    3. elvino (8445)
    4. Noda84 (7737)
    5. Shinobi55 (7727)
    6. Mini Guy (7612)
    7. Team Wade (7591)
    8. Donked007 (7556)
    9. Gongz (7405)
    10. SolidQ (7273) <--- in addition to the familiar names above, this one gives pretty solid confirmation

    In my bracket (slice 5), #1 is Apollo 13 with 10400, followed by Wilkysmooth so there are definitely 2 brackets open. After a second pass I am #7 with 7300. As I post this, the bracket has 384 players.

    How have you scored and placed in PvE lately? This could be a good opportunity to figure out how placement into different brackets is determined.

    If you have not been keeping track of your PvE performance (i.e. you're not crazy), compare your memory to this then: 
    Event                      Slice   Date    Prog   Score Rank
Meet Rocket & Groot            5  04/20   18000   34745   92
Simulator                      3  04/24   21000   31873   15
Avengers vs Ultron             1  04/29  750000  761315    8
Oscorp Heroic                  5  05/01   45000   47902   11

    The last pve I played in was The Gauntlet (May 28 - June 4 ) which I completed for the first time. Prior to that, I had played in most pve since the Ultron event, scoring relatively high (top 10-50 in most of them).
    I have played only in 2 pvp during season XV. In one I reached 300 for the token and the second was Starfall where I finished in top 50 (830). Not sure Starfall counts though because it was still running when I joined Unstable ISO-8. As you can see it was a very slow month for me.

    If we go even further back in time, I came back to the game in the first half of February after a 6.5 month break and since then I played in most pvp and pve, scoring 600-800 (pvp) only in those I was interested in (about half of them). I almost never score 800+ because I consider it too much work for 1-2 extra covers. However after Starfall (reached easily 830), I have to admit that the new point system makes it definitely easier t reach the 800-1000 mark. I may even try it sometime, if the rewards are worth it.

    I believe that a roster with high level 4* and 3* characters needs to stay inactive for a long time before it drops to a noob bracket, while a roster with weaker characters requires less time. But this is only my guess, with no hard proof.

    I cant belive very few people picked Slice 2.. slice 2 filled and the another opened (what i joined late thursday) SLICE 2 never refilled at 889 people. so if you was hoping for a slice 2 new one your not going to get one. then again maybe if you get lucky with 1 hour left a new one might open

    Slice 3 is at 872.

    Somehow I doubt that the bracket will fill until the end.

    Just joined Slice 5, hoping for the lower bracket, but apparently not.

    I am in the Apollo 13 leading slice at a hint over 600 players.

    Don't care about the rewards here too much (have Patch, no roster space for Carnage) but would like some HP and Beast progression - hope I haven't left it too late to hit 15k.

    Thanks a lot! Seems like I can't get a free gift out of this slice! Haha
