Feb 28 - Mar 2 Fresh Cut: The Not-As-Fresh Sequel

Unknown

This **** broken PVP system is pissing me off.

I was at 739 and decided not to shield, tried to keep going. Now I'm down to 611 BECAUSE I CANNOT FIND A FIGHT WORTH MORE THAN 15 POINTS.

But yep, people with 100 points can smack me for 40. This is stupid.

awww that sucks guy.
Whats (well was) your position? because who would be worth a lot if there's only 9 folks above you. and yea. letting lower level hi roster guys hit you from the 100pt-'s was a lame addition.
but hey, dat feel when retaliations lose because they forget your Psylock is level 48+. Theres no passengers on this hype train.

Got what you deserve Jozier, hitting me 4 times, least I won one of those.

Unknown

Not my fault my MMR is so garbage that I literally have 6 different opponents total.

Unknown

Fair enough, Celerity is in my bracket and almost at the same points, we hit each other 4 times as well, he shielded 30 points below me. Had to sheild out almost out of health packs and need to pay attention to PvE. May queue up matches some for a last minute push in PvP but not likely. I have a retal on you sitting on one of my nodes but its only for 22, and spiderman is not a fast match.

EDIT:And won a defense, should be golden for top 5 now...I hope. only +9 gain heh
EDIT2: And another +12. wowzers.
EDIT3: And another for +8 what is going on. Ill take it though.

Unknown

Just a FYI but I'm currently 6th and I got Jozier queued up for my push which is probably going to happen with an hour left in the event.

I'm really looking forward to Spiderman's nerf because currently all that's ever happening in my MMR range is that the same 5 guys trade points back and forth. Everyone can beat everyone flawlessly because of Spiderman so nobody ever gets anywhere.

Sorry this is mostly irrelevant here, where do I report cheaters? I just watched misfit1182 climb to 889 points in 2 minutes while spamming refresh.

Shielded out at 898 (!), hope that is enough to get that yellow x-force to finish him. Will have him at 4/5/4 figuring that will be the easiest respec if needed.

My only concern is the one guy in my bracket that sat at 804 un-shielded for 8 hours without getting hit. He has a 141 patch but the rest of his team is 85s. He must have been in a golden MMR range. He went up over 900 but hopefully that pushed his MMR up because after he hit 900 something he went back down to 816 where he is STILL un-shielded.

Although I'm not one to complain about how people have unfair advantages, sometimes it does boggle the mind how do people sit there unshielded at very high points and never get touched. Once you get into the range where people have Spiderman, usually the only thing that determines whether you get attacked is how many points you have. Even if you have all level 141s, that adds less than 33% to the time it takes to beat someone (Psylocke does not have double the HP of characters you'd expect to find in the top range even boosted) and it's pretty hard to actually lose when you got Spiderman, especially in the prevalent Spiderman mirror matches that pretty much has no chance of anything weird happening because their Spiderman ensures all blues get put into your cause at some point.

I tried to get #1 by unshielding from #7 and got within 1 point and got knocked down, managed to get up to #2 and I hope that's enough for the rest of the tournament. Don't think I could've kept up with the pace if I continued, not to mention I'm still fighting for #2 in my PvE overall bracket.

The trick is to tank a lot. Right after the LRs (of which I try to tank every single round), I can easily go up to 700-800 facing level 50 2* teams without shielding. Once you go past 800-900 you start to see the spidey teams, but you don't show up on people's radar until then.

This is embarrassing. I've actually runout of health packs due to repeated sloppy play (and MMR).I'm going to not place in any of the events tonight. Lawl

Took 2 quick shots at Puritas (sorry!) while refreshing my shield to put myself up to 860 points now. Seems like a low MMR player with a 43 Psylocke, and 50 Daken/M. Storm is making a push right now at 741 points: hopefully the zombie horde will devour him before he gets to me... it might be unlikely though because his MMR must be absurdly low and he's just doing a lot of work with a relatively high leveled Psylocke.

Shielded at 7th with 611 - Hope that's enough to hang on to a top 15. Sadly I have to work, so I'll find out in the morning how I did. It seems like about 90% of the teams I played against were 15/18 Psy, Thor/Wolverine, and OBW. I actually saw very few Spidermans, so maybe my tanking reduced my MMR back to a reasonable level.
I wonder how far away we are from another lightning round event.

Puritas is in my bracket he is shielded in 2nd with 850.

I don't really mind being on people's radar. It looks like I'm going to finsh at #2 again for a second consecutive tournament. Trying to juggle your time between a PvE and PvP event is really tough. I'm also fighting to hold onto #2 in my PvE event, which I don't think I"ll succeed unless the current #3 just stopped playing, because based on his points I'm sure he has plenty in the tank.

Unknown

Shielded. 25 points behind my highest point value which would have put me in 2nd right now.

Unknown

Some guy with no cover higher than lvl 50 passed me, slid to 5th probably wont be top 5....not even sure if its worth risking it. Ill spend some iso finding someone worth hitting for the last 3 minutes if I fall to 6th.

EDIT:Apparently he raised his MMR he must have dropped 100 points hes no longer in sight.

EDIT: Nope MMR stupid system. Hes back and much higher than before. Now the rest of the bracket is unshielding, I don't care anymore -.- Still 5th but this feels like an 8th.

It looks like you're in the clear now. There's a guy that pushed up to 744 but I highly doubt that he'll be able to overtake you with only 10 minutes remaining.

Looks that way. Looks like you're in the clear too, grats on the BP covers!

I think I held on to 5th
