Has the grinding happened already for placement?!?!
Also is it odd that Peggy is going all the way to position 100 I always thought new characters went top 10 only?
It's not about Peggy, it's the double iso that is making the event competitive. And new characters have always been top 100 (since i started playing anyway).0 -
Since when do PVE events require more than 3 clears per day? I finished 85 in my slice, but 4k short of full progression? That's total ****.0

23:00 starts the sub-event.
23:00 - First two attempts of all nodes
12-14:00 - Third clearing
21-23:00 - Four remainng clearing.
I think its efficient. Not as much as possible, but could be worse.
Right now, 10 mins before the end, i drained all nodes down to 0 pts, still i am at 110th place.
Dont want to complain, but this event (or at least the 2-day part) obviously forces us to clear nodes for no rewards.
PS: First player has 20 000pts more than i do.0 -
Your placement is based solely on what the other people in your bracket are doing. This level of grinding is all too common with new character releases.0
-
I know, but they all had to grind without geting points for nodes. 2-day sub events should NOT have only 7 rewards... it makes no sense.0
-
And the fix for that was 15 rewards in the last test event. That was *super fun* when all I wanted was the CP or the event token!0

I managed to blitz my way to a top 10 finish in both Mediterranean and Americas, and that was good enough for 10th place even with a bad start. That was mostly because I could clear the nodes faster than the other people also chasing good placement though. When I started my end grind I was in 250th place in the sub, but I climbed the scoreboard...0 -

Trust me, if 2-day sub event had 14 rewards instead of 7, i would grind far more points...0 -

I think this was extra competitive as Peggy is quite impressive though, so there's more interest in her covers.0 -
I got a peggy, first new 4 star since quake for me. She'll probably sit on my roster for the next year languishing with that cover...maybe another two or three over that period.
Best I've done in a pve since started, but one cover for placing 30th and the 1000 HP to roster her is bittersweet. Placement rewards in general need a drastic overhaul.0 -
I feel the need to add my disappointment: I scored 81k points and landed #16 in my bracket (slice3 vet) but some of my teammates have been rewardered better despite they scored less.
The one with 77k landed # 3 and the one with 71k landed #7 so they both got 3 Peggy's covers.
How is this supposed to be fair? I am glad for my friends but still feel robbed. This game should reward accordingly to your performance and not because you have been lucky enough to find an easy bracket. It's not a sort of Wheel of Fortune....
Please Give us PROGRESSION REWARDS only...stop this mess0 -

Honest question that might explain this: did your alliance mates wait and join late, after a bracket flipped or even a day later? This will cause lower points throughout a bracket relative to pre-joining or starting right on time since they can't get as many points.0 -

I know how it works but it's still UNFAIR....If you have the chance to find a bracket with less than 10 hardcore players you win otherwise you are doomed from the start? (No matter how much and well you play)
This is the only game I know that allows this kind of rubbish rules as well as the punishment for level up your roster0 -

I had 77k and I ended up 17 in slice3 vet2 so It was a little bit better in mine. Slice 3 is usually the worst one I think, but it is the only one I can play for two hours before it finishes and half an hour after.
Of course, I would preferred a Progression Only PvE.
Oh, and I am not happy Peggy exists as is. Her yellow is too good, even at one cover she is already adding 2 AP to all powers! That is crazy. The need to lower it to 1AP at one cover, 3AP at 5.0 -
i agree with said poster.
for example the last superbowl. my brother was 10th with 9000 points. while i was 60th with 9200 points.
how is this even remotly fair? he got like 30 cards while i got 3 heroics
so why cant we just be added in 1 big bracket and simply make the prize pool bigger.
so for example place 1 is like 4 x 10 card pack. now make that price for place 1 till 10. simply expand the prize places.0 -
75k and 17th place finish here. Bracket flipped about 5hrs after the start, I joined at #30, and played fairly optimally (except for Day 1 grind, which probably cost me t10). Agree about bracket-sniping (or dumb luck for those blindly jumping in) and the random nature in which this game decides to reward nearly everything in the game.
PROGRESSION ONLY!!!
Edit: also, good job on Peggy - I wish I'd be able to play her sooner, but the character looks pretty solid. Maybe I'm underestimating how much a PITA she's gonna be at high levels and more covers in PVP, though.0 -

I joined s5 with 9 hours to go, hit all nodes 7 times and walked away with a Carter cover.
It's silly to lock some people out of the prize they want by virtue of their bracket luck.0
