Ah, yes I see, that explains it. If it would not be so much trouble, can you please return my stapler?

I have just gained so much respect for you...

More appropriate for sure, but not without a wink and a nod...

Love it!

This actually makes me really happy to know that at leas SOMEONE attempts to win their bracket in the Demiurge/D3 family. I'm sure a lot are anonymous, which is understandable, but it's nice knowing there are those that are actually playing like a player. It's one thing to look at data and go "oh this is feasible" and it's entirely different to actually do it yourself.

Oh and holy **** I want your matchmaking rating. 1004 was good for 50th in Lethal Intent.

Does this mean one of our more infamous active posters on this forum was originally called scrotumbman?

Or is it just a really, really disturbing shout-out?

So how many sore losers in that bracket are screaming bloody murder about a dev cheating to take their rewards?

Seriously it is nice to see a Dev grinding it for the covers like us poor sobs

They should let us trade star for star (like a 3* for a 3*) in alliances. Charge us each 700HP. A bit more HP for them than selling one cover, half price for us compared to buying one .

So... when we're all howling about the next new character being horribly broken or underpowered, we can blame it on bracket sniping?

Jokes aside, I just wanted to say, I'm really digging the fact that you've been so present on the forums the last couple of days. It's really great to both see the human side of the devs, as well as the increased information you've been feeding back to us in the other threads.

Also, I'm still really sorry about sniping you a couple of months back - you were between me and that blue Goddess cover. Please don't smite me.

No, no, no...you're doing it all wrong! The correct way to play at work is either on uncomfortably long "bathroom breaks" making most of your office think you have some terrible stomach virus OR having an animated conversation with yourself while playing and staring at your phone screen...then if anyone asks, cover your phone and say "Sorry! I'm face timing with my little sister, I don't get to see her much..."

Psshhhh...n00b.

Not one person shielded in the top 10. It looks like everybody was protected from the Senior veterans. ICE-X level your team some more so you stop playing with the sophomores and graduate to junior status.
I was lucky(sarcasm) enough to see teams that were level 290 Gamora, level 345 Carnage and level 270 Hulkbuster. What type of teams did you see ICE-X?
Congratulations on your first place.
Oh and I wanted the Electra Red, but I had to do 7 hops and go out at the last minute to break 1400 to get her.

Not an option, unfortunately. Our bathrooms are some sort of natural Faraday cage. No reception in, no reception out. Can't do the second either, I've got seniority in the office, my lack of Facetiming with little sisters is already well known.

It was a last 90 minute bracket, so most players were pushing like I was. Lack of shields are pretty standard when you hit a newish bracket towards the end.

I did run into 270+s once I hit the 650-ish mark but was lucky enough to be able to skip around to other teams that were more beatable and still gave decent points. I set 40 as my base "I'll fight these guys" post 600, served me pretty well.

My favorite fight in the whole rush was versus a Hood/Loki/Gamora combo. Hood had 2 HP left, opponent uses a TU Fastball Special. Luckily it pulled Loki instead of Hood so I only had to have some switched tiles and cascades instead of being shot in the face by buffed Twin Pistols.

Most of the time, I'm extremely lucky to even pull out 500 points on an event. I have yet to reach the 600 mark, and the 1000 is just a dream that I usually wake up and slap myself from.
