Appearing on the top10 alliance list has some side effects: we have a flood if join requests, like several 3-4 new per minute. From everyone and the pussycat, * rosters and so on. The game is not exactly helpful to keep them at bay.

I sort of noticed, already spent a couple of hours getting that queue down in size. This is what spamming pre-nerf Ragnarok's red must have felt like. Applicant Of The Day goes to the one with the roster only containing a Modern Storm, at level 1.

also, I see several applicants, anyne knows about Runeflinger? I look at 4x141 and other good stuff on roster but not ringing the bell.

Roster looks very good. There's also another one on similar level, Infame. No such forum names though, so unless they establish contact they won't really fit in.

Just collected the 25k progression only doing special nodes in both. In hard have 1 guy ahead of me by 1k points.

Roster: 29 storm 25 mbw and downhill from here -- guess abusing his 1 cover of psylocke.

The game is pretty boring this far I'm supposed to use some brains but really just brute-force with the same PL/patch/mags team.

As I'm around #2 with most nodes untouched: is there advantage keeping them virgin for the last refresh? Is the "first clear" special leaving an extra go outside the normal stack? Or should I keep a few?

I see levels of 60-70 (easy) and 110-ish (hard) in the starting nodes of the chains, how mush that went up or expected to rise?

You'll get bonus iso for the very first clear, so make sure to hit each once during the whole event. You might also get less personal level scaling on nodes you clear less frequently, take that with a grain of salt though.

I see you guys have an open spot though I am sure there is a tremendous amount of people applying for it. If you want someone in good position to be top 5 in all events for the next 10 days, let me know. I will be happy to contribute.

So what's she supposed strategy here to get max points? I'm kinda confused.

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5125

Good summary...
My date plans were cancelled last night, so I drowned my sorrows in a 2 hour MPQ marathon. Ended up with 24k points & first place in both brackets (woke up still in top 10!). Our alliance was top ten in all the brackets when I went to sleep & #4 in the hard mode!

My strategy was grind the Psylocke nodes x3 nodes, then take the two pathways. I also would grind the last two nodes in the pathways 3 times. I imagine if you just grind those 5 nodes x3-4 times every refresh, you'd get guaranteed top 50 (or more) for all the Captain covers. That was my strategy for the Hulk tournament & I grabbed two Thors without overkilling myself over the long tournament.

With 9 day tournaments, you grind yourself more than the nodes!

Wow, we are now at 20 slots, with one bed still free. Whoever scavenged up the final slot, may you place well in future events to recover the cost.

We'd like to take a look at your roster. Just join our incoming members queue, hopefully you'll not fall prey to some overambitious cleaning efforts. Please also provide your user name in case it differs from your forum name.

I just noticed that too, we're up to 19/20 and infame joined our ranks.

So one last place to go

Unknown

Hold on, we're missing one WesFaram in our member list. Wes, you didn't attempt to sneak off without us noticing, right? Accidently hit the leave button and need a reinvite?

Unknown

Indeed Wes is not there while Runeflinger got in.

so then we can consider the expansion closed as he gets back -- let's hope it was a leave and not someone accidentally pushed a Kick, the latter currently imposes a 168 hour cooldown before rejoin.

??? I don't think I did anything. I tried joining again, but MPQ says I was removed from the alliance & it's not letting me apply, again. Did someone kick me out?

BAH, guess we need to contact Support ASAP.

I guess someone took the "kick me" sign on my back a little too literally!

Does this mean any points I earn won't go towards the alliance total or would the alliance get points I earned while playing solo as long as I rejoin before the tournament ends?

I sent support an email. Not sure if / when they'll respond. I never got any response after never getting the iso for winning Fearless Defenders tournament.

The points only matter at the moment a tournament is ending and is a simple sum of the current composition, no worries there.

Please give your IGN and player number (if you play on steam click on the letter icon right as you enter the game, it wull appear in the opened mail, on mobile guess there's a similar contact button...) I'll write the support, and you do that independently too, let's hope someone can override the cooldown at least manually.

Maybe somebody fat fingered buttons while cleaning up the incoming members queue? Klick sequence is almost the same, open roster, press kick. I always use the list to dismiss, it's such a simple mistake to make that I don't trust myself not to mess that up eventually.

There's a cooldown depending on how you left the alliance. I think it's an hour if you left yourself, one week if you got kicked. Let's wait an hour and try again, if it doesn't work I'll open a support ticket, they might be able to remove the cooldown.

Unknown

Pasa, I pm'd you my info. I already sent my own email to them, but I imagine the more the better!

Also, just noticed on profiles, you can add people as either friend or foe! Neat feature.

I tried the internal 'kick' button once and it told player not exist so I thouth only the external one works... But it might have been just a glitch.

If the other cooldown is just an hour it is indeed worth waiting up, I immediately noticed the bad interface: the "Leave" button is just protruding, almost cliked on that several times to exit/leave the page... not sure if there is a confirmation behind it.

That's when two commanders clean up the queue at the same time, the player probably alredy got kicked while you were looking at the roster. Had that a few times together with Emeryt when we were deperately trying to weed out the masses in the first alliance gold rush.

Same with the incoming members list. The Steam version wants you to click-drag to scroll down. If you happen to hit one of the buttons while doing that you've accepted/dismissed somebody, no confirmation. Really awful interface.
