    I reached the 1000 mark, enjoy some points while I remain unshielded.
    had u in my queue zeiram but another was an easier target. made it to 1000 but put a 3 hr shield on and closed it out only to come back to it later and it says I got hit for 70 pts. that kinda bites when that comes in after you shield. server lag sucks. got my hb tho. condolences to all who weren't able to get on right when the servers came back on - the ones whose shield expired during the downtime. that really bites.

    i have given up on getting hulkbuster. Because of the outage, i couldn't do my hop this morning, and now every time i win a match i get hit by 2 or more people.


    this is tinykitty'd up, almost want to throw my phone against the wall. Add in a nice 67 point win, only rewarding 7 points when i finshed.....
  • Scraped 1k for Hulk Buster. Eu are lucky with the outage to be up and running while our neighbors are sleeping. Unfortunate for those it has affected adversely. Hope you get comp.

    I lost 4hrs of pvp time because of the stupid outage & servers being down. I ended with 445 points. I really wanted that 2nd independence vault token and that pink falcon cover. icon_mad.gif

    dang what a slog this has become. had to do one last hop because I was on a 3 hr shield. cycled through the same fistbuster teams multiple times then just went back to an older queued easier team, won that match, hit twice by the time I came out. glad I made 1000 earlier. ending in the 800s here.

    i ended up shielding and giving up on my quest for that hulkbuster, it is a free for all right now in there, everyone is scrambling. i was at 918, after 5 wins, i shielded at 725.. brutal.. lost my morning hop for the cover due to the outage.

    we wont, if i had known the servers were going to go down literally minutes after i spent 300hp on a shield and not come back up until well after my morning hop.. i would not have shielded!

    The cover is not what angers me.. this was going to be my first time hitting 1k, and i only made sure to go all in this pvp for the HB cover.. but if i didn't get it due to normal PVP stuff, fine.. but losing the cover and basically losing 300hp .... thats my issue.

    I'm stuck in a catch 22 right now, i can't get the 4* covers i need to be able to get the 4* covers i need.

    I'm in the same boat Malcrof. Like yourself, have yet to successfully reach 1k but went all in on this event. Spent a ton of Iso-8 on Mohawk Storm, entered when the event started, spent hours maintaining a reasonable points level. Only to have the servers go down when I started my earnest push. Logged in to 184 points lost, and it's near enough to the end of the event that I can't finish matches before getting hit. Got completely screwed out of any chance at earning 1k in this event. Be nice to have some communication on this issue.

    Peaked at 972, then got hit for 138 in total during one battle.

    Every time i open the game i see the screen.. if i hadn't shielded when i had, i would be down in the 300's or so.. So sad, was 2 fights away from that hulkbuster

    Thanks for the reply, feeling very sad. No point in me shielding at the moment when I wouldn't even finish top 25 I think.

    its a really rough event. Since I didn't shield I ended -400 points after I hit 1000.

    I'm glad I only care about progression because I was kicked out of top 100 as well.

    Yeah I got hit for 122 in total during one battle and that was when I was at 600 with 2 days left. Way too competitive for a game I consider casual. It's just another problem I have with the pay2win model.

    my bracket is feasting off me because only other person up here is Dauthi and they got 4*, streaming of course icon_e_sad.gif

    EDIT: Finished streaming, had to shield hop(even though I don't actually know how to shield hop) to get to the 1000 pt Hulkbuster. The fact that I pulled out 500 HP and 1,500 iso from my taco stash worked well for that.

    Going for 1,300 hulkbuster next PVP is gonna be a nightmare.....

    EDIT 2: HAHAHAH I GOT ATTACKED FOR -200 AS SOON AS I HIT 1K AND UNSHIELDED icon_mrgreen.gificon_mrgreen.gificon_mrgreen.gificon_mrgreen.gificon_mrgreen.gificon_mrgreen.gif

    It's all about sprinting to 1k as soon as you break 800. That's the magic number that will wreck you if you don't hurry. Buffs buffs buffs! icon_e_biggrin.gif
