    Ok, unmanly moment over. Back to playing! Lol

    Bromance!!!

    Gamar, I'm in a similar spot at #26 right now, but I'm feeling totally unmotivated to try to get the extra Heroic tokens since I'll likely get 9 Hawkeyes + 1 Black Loki or something. So probably not even going to shield for either shield/ krakadoom. The end time is just terribad for me. Like the others said, 8 hrs is probably your best bet if you have the time to do your push then.

    I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing. That will be good enough for top 25.

    I'm going to probably not shield until less than 3 hours if at all. Top 25 should be locked I can maybe top 10 if I try hard but top 5 isn't possible so it entirely depends on whether I'm spending 75hp to gain 50 more hp?

    If you got the HP 8 hour lock is better probably but if you are on the cusp be wary of people trying to pass you like any pvp tourney.

    Well I'm 20th right now but 24th is only about 200 points behind me and who knows how many shield training points are still available to them, it's hard to tell where the cusp even is

    I'm not going to get too broken up over a heroic 10-pack but that said I still need a lot of 3* covers so if I decide to be stingy on HP and barely miss a ten pack that """probably""" would have had one or two covers I need because I didn't want to spend 150 HP I know I'll kick myself

    At the start of S1 I was just going to aim for top 25. But now I'm in 5th place and I find myself really wanting those 3 10-packs, if only for the ISO I'll get from selling the covers.

    Wow, your score only gets you to 11th in your S1 bracket? That's tough. Well, at the very least you'll get 1st in our alliance.

    I've got Psykopathic, Jozier, Morgh, and someone I don't recognize ahead of me in my bracket. Morak's in the top ten as well, at #9.

    Psykopathic has a ridiculous 18201 points.
  • Be careful Lazy, I can still catch you and I will if I have to :p Although its probably not worth the effort...

    So Season 1 is over. I think we did great - 43rd place and the Fury cover. (Now, if they would just distribute the rewards...)

    I pushed myself this first season. I played for points even in PvP events where I didn't need the rewards and didn't like the featured character (see: Rags, Loki). I wanted to see what I could do and I ended up top 10 in my bracket which I am really happy with.

    It was fun, but I'm not going to be able to maintain that pace in S2. I will play every PvP, and if I need the rewards or like the featured character I'm going to go all out. I still really enjoy this game and the last thing I want to do is burn myself out. I've seen a few of you say the same thing around the board or on alliance chat.

    I don't know what that means for us in S2, but if a few of us do step back, that might mean we miss out on the Fury cover. Or we might be fine; it's hard to say what the competition will be like.

    I just wanted to throw it out there for discussion. Personally, I still want us to rank high in S2 and I'd hate to miss out on 3* cover rewards like Daken, but I would be fine with not getting another Fury cover.

    I would like to rank high in Season 2. I am finally going to start pumping all my iso into my 3* Heros and hope to be able to do even better than in season 1. There were a few events that I was not able to stay in the top 50 when I needed to be in the top 10 for the extra 3* cover I needed. Part of it had to do with saving HP for new slots and also some events ended during work hours and had a hard time getting my score up in the last hours of the event.

    We can still do fine in S2 as long as others would carry their wieght on a regular basis. I was able to make it to 62nd in my bracket with a 2* roster and 3* thor and BP at 89. You do not need to have maxed out 3* heros to break 700-900 and I normally push to about 500 with 36 hours left and rarely get hit unless I push above 600-700 to early. In the last few hours I barely get hit unless I am over 750-800. I think that if people just push to 600 or so with a day left they will end up at 450-550 without doing anything else and sometimes even gain a few points from defense wins if you are lucky. With that I think we can stay in top 100 for season 2.
  • I am a competitive person by nature. I will be pushing regardless to about where I was in this season. Because I am fully ftp I need to do things in a positive ev fashion so if I am actively losing hp I have to stop doing that. That being said I am positive over the season so can keep up the pace. I would like not needing to 24 hour shield at all because that is already a hp loss of 50 especially for **** rewards but I can keep going. I still don't hate the game but enjoyment is less.

    I am actually taking most of these lightning rounds off this week, those feel like a chore (even just doing the seeds) and its a nice break.

    I am fine if people want to take it easier but we will be making at least one roster change to help lighten the load, once the rewards are sent out. I still haven't logged in since like 7 hours ago.
  • I don't plan on trying to push over 1000 in every PVP like I did in season 1, but I think I can make at least 600-800 in every tournament. I don't want this to be the kind of alliance where people are told how much they have to play and I have no interest in telling members to play harder, but that said I think we'll be fine if everybody puts in 600 in each tournament (barring occasional exceptions of course) and I don't think that's too difficult to achieve? I'm not going to think less of anyone who doesn't want to hit that benchmark though, avoiding this game making you want to beat your head against the wall is more important than rewards amiright?

    I think scores will be lower as it's harder to have a sustained push without 5k Spidey heals, but the whales with max level 5 yellow Spideys won't be hurt as badly.

    That said, trying to stay at the top of PvE and PVP is brutal. I'm not a fan on s1 straight to s2. It sucks the next 48 hours feel like must wins.
  • I'm actually worried about the pve they changed the banding on the subs mid event again...so much for trying to plan a strategy. Its hard enough when the rules change each event never mind in the middle...

    Eh, If I could consistently push to top 10s running entirely on free health packs and OBW, so can everyone else I bet

    Especially in the era where being unshielded for more than 5 minutes means -100 points, everyone's shield hopping and that gives you 3 whole hours for your packs to regenerate!

    I'm not sure what's going on with the points and rubberbanding either. All I know is that I did my first run through of the China sub tonight and actually cracked top 20 in main for the first time, where grinding nodes during the first sub didn't get me there. I have no idea what to make of that.

    I don't think I have ever had a problem getting into the top 20 with one complete passthrough of any pve and then getting top spot with grinding just a few of the high point nodes after that. The times I have problems making it into a top spot is when I dont have the essential hero and the nodes get to hard to win with the characters i have.

    For some reason, my email's not alerting me when there are posts to our forum. First off, I'm really glad to have been able to get into this alliance in the first place. You all have pretty much expressed my thoughts in terms of how this alliance is chill and yet can beat some of the best of them. When I first joined you all, I was getting about 400s in the pvp. Before the whole season 1 fiasco, I was getting as high as 800s to 900s. Now with the new bracketing/sharting (i know it's sharding)/whatever. I almost barely got past the 300s last pvp.

    All I know is that I've gotten better because of the advice many of you have given, and also because I'm getting better rewards to upgrade my roster quicker. I hope to be up there competing for top 20 soon and hopefully top 10 in the foreseeable future. Thanks everyone.
  • Bumping for visibility, Terran Dominion has released two frequently inactive people and we are looking to add two to the roster.

    For anyone in Alliance please let the commanders know if you have anyone in mind.

    For anyone interested we require daily play but are not cut throat. Some of us push really hard but some are still developing rosters. We expect you to try in every event but obviously people have limits and lives.

    Would prefer moderate to high success in both pve and pvp with a two or already into three star roster territory looking to gain Alliance rewards. We finish top 50 in most events, we have a few members out on vacation at the moment though.

    Anyone interested please either post here or pm all 4 of the commanders listed on the first page.

    A few people messaged me in the past I will be shooting them a pm and give them priority if there's still interest.

    We are all nice active people, jerks need not apply.

    I don't believe that you are getting lower scores because of sharding or bracketing. I think the reason for the lower scores is because there is alot more competition for the higher spots so that alliances get the top 100 in the overall season. When alliances saw that they were going to have a hard time staying in the top 100 they probably started pushing their alliance members harder to get the higher scores even if they did not need the rewards.

    The whole idea of having seasons is good for competition but it has made it that much more difficult to get into a high ranking and get good rewards.
  • I am intrusted in joining your alliance. I am regularly 700+ in the PVP and top 10 in the PVE. I am a daily player. I have a good seletion of characters. look me up @ davidt68
