    I too am trying to work it out. 7.5 days remaining. I can't remember if that's 2 or 3 events.

    Managed to get to 1000 for the Iceman one (yay Cyclops/Thing) but I don't even have a Beast or Doc Ock, so it's going to be a challenge there!

    From my reading of IceIX's comments, there are two more after Real McCoy, but we don't know which two. I think it will be Doc Ock and She-Hulk, but that's just speculation on my part.

    I was getting the 7500 reward regularly in past seasons, but I'm doomed this time. Before it was easy enough with an average of 650-750 and ~1600 in sim, now... ick. I hope future seasons go back to the same length as before.

    You can't really compare the 2, since this seasons 7,5k is the same as last seasons 10k, so if your average pvp-score is the same, there shouldn't be a difference in which rewards you can realistically get.

    Is anyone else finding shield sim hard going this season? Last season I waltzed to 2k with 2 weeks to spare without any shields; this time I'm stuck at about 1500 and get hit every time I fight. A solid 166 wall doesn't help. Could this be a scaling thing because I now have 2 characters at 166? There's no good targets, Daken and Patch everywhere!

    Last season had the final reward of 100 HP at 7500 points though. All seasons I've played had that. 10 pack at 4000, ISO at 5600, 100HP at 7500.

    since this season is only 7 events instead of 10, the hp that used to be at 7500 is at 5600 for this season. everything is compressed for 7 events instead of 10. same level of effort and scoring per event to get there....

    This season's climb to 2000 is dog-eat-dog. I got to 1904 and shielded. I lined up a few 40 point matches and a 30 to get me safely over the line, and left it a while so anyone who had me queued could get their attacks over.

    When I came to play the matches, my first victory was worth 5 points. My second was under 20. What the heck?!? Time to reshield and regroup.

    Players who aren't shielded aren't lasting long up high, except someone with a monstrous Silver Surfer. Strangely, that player isn't one of the 5-10 that keep repeating as targets in my nodes, even though he's only 250 points above me.

    :edit: 2000 achieved, with a few more ridiculously overstated points, 38 became 15, for example. Deities, I wish they would fix that...

    Anyway, time for the freefall to begin.


    Yea, it's been rough this season. Last season, I made it to 2k relatively easy and ended up right outside of top 50. This season, I had to shield in sim twice in the 1900s, and my ranking on an equivalent score is in the 200s.

    I don't think lining up queues in sim works like normal pvp. there is too much activity once you get above 1800, you're a target regardless of your team. you're basically forced to hit fresh queues or you risk what happened to you.

    And that's the answer I was looking for in a different thread. I wonder if all seasons will be this long though. I usually take Sim slower and stay out of top 1000 until the end but I can't do that in faster moving seasons.

    Well an impromptu early morning climb across doc ock / shulk / shield sim just netted me 2 needed Shulk covers, 2k Jean Grey, and 7500 legendary (XFDP). Really thought I was going to the wire with the season rewards, glad I can just free fall for a couple of days and ignore it now. I was tempted to push for 1K trial award but I think a weekend off might do me good!
