I think that's ideal, unfortunately we have no idea how long that may be. As long as it isn't in the next month I don't think any of us would have issues paying for it though. Now that we have 20 I think we will all start seeing rather large gains of HP since we will place better in tournaments. This also assumes HP doesn't get spent in bad ways.

I originally didn't have much interest in the captain tournament...I'm now first in my bracket with a 100 point lead. My shield breaks before the end so I may try to win a match or 2 before throwing up another shield, but I may actually try for first in this. Red is the only x-force cover I don't have so it would be nice to just get that out of the way.

A large part of me hopes the reward in the widow tournament isn't something highly sought after. My GSBW is only level 15 and I'd hate to throw ISO at her since I highly doubt I would use her outside a pvp where she is featured. My luck though it will be someone like hood, panther or lazy Thor.

At some point, it'll be hard to find things to spend HP on, assuming the plan is to only raise cover levels you want and not for everyone.
Anyway, by Day 165, you should have a green and a red X-Force...

Unstable PVE used to be less un-fun, but I guess with subs and sub-rewards being the new norm, maybe it's time this old format retired. I'm actually raising Hulk's levels to soak damage from all the Venoms, Dakens and goons. But it takes too long per match, even though I survive a 230-match with no boosts and full health (totally complaining/bragging here).

We are in top #50 for the PVP event! 3 more hours and we can all go back to fighting goons.
The Hollowpoint Kiss event is going to be refreshing if OBW is locked out. No worrying about easy steal, easy health gain - but I guess a lot more Spider-man prologue healing -.-" My guess is Torch will be the reward for that event, even though I'm hoping not.

EDIT: Psylocke. Damn. And they had to put her black as Alliance Reward. This will be intense.

I must be one of the few people on the forums to have gotten to two star tier working on three without ever having had a viable obw. My obw envy is so high--and the fishnets arent bad either

Yeah, I forgot how I used to place in events before she came along. She's still good as a 2* to level and keep though. I'm sending her with a 5green Punisher against team-almost-141s and she is still viable. The only problem is when your other characters start eating into her colours and making Espionage non-viable. Then I guess it's really time to transit.

Looks like our alliance hit top 40 again, well done!
I sucked this time, ended up not even breaking 600 pts. Kept getting attacked and losing progress. Will end up only top 25...

I am suddenly way behind on unstable iso as well--in the 40s and the high value node of daken/bullseye is kicking the ever living **** out of my team. Bullseye's protect and daken making green matches horrible means tough sledding. Argh.

Looks like another good showing in the PVP event. I should have snuck into the top 5 with around 700 points (This was a better bracket for me than the Best There Is where 800 didn't even crack top 10)

PVE is looking good as well although I am starting to get tired of beating up on goons. For the Daken/Bullsey fights I've found that a CMags/Patch/Thor combo works pretty well if you can save up enough blue to maintain control of the board after activating the Berserker Rage. It is a bit tedious but it seems to work. Of course if you run out of blue then it's pretty much game over...

I'd like to add to the congrats to the alliance for another top 50 finish. Now that we have a 20 member alliance I guess we're now one of the big alliances now.

Tough luck Finn. I went through up the same. Although I got to combine my luck with a tough bracket. I got up to 560ish and that was barely enough to get into the top 50 in my bracket. Daken/Bullseye combo is brutal. I avoid those unless I need the points to get to #1 and then I use boosts to help me. It looks like the points values are up since I am now past 41k. Might have a shot at the 53,333 reward, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.

The Black Widow PvP event doesn't look as great. Psylocke rewards and if you miss out on top 50 its Hawkeye. I wonder if this mean the Hawkeye buffs are about ready to be rolled out, but I haven't heard anything about it, so its probably unlikely.

BTW - Just wanted to say hi and thanks to the newer members to help us get top 50 finishes. Maybe in an upcoming event we'll crack top 25 in the future. One can dream.

It's doable but it takes way too long because of the protect tiles and Daken's healing. I found it easier to beat up a few NPC nodes to make up for the points there.

EDIT: On the other hand, there's also that Ragnarok/Venom node that is equally bad. Sigh.

We were actually 22 when I checked a bit before the end, right next to terran dominion. I only quoted top 40 to be conservative but we actually did really well. It is only too bad (or is it a good thing?) that the alliance rewards have little differentiation after top 2 to 50.

I want to beat daken and bullseye just for the principle of it now that they've wiped my team but the practical thing is probably to skip them.
Greg I'd love to use your team against them but my patch is level 20.

Great job everyone. Finished 2nd in pvp with ~730 points (20 from defensive wins) and the GSBW is now 2/1/2. The 200 HP is also sweet.

I am actually happy about Psylocke's black making it in the alliance rewards. It is the only cover I miss which means I don't have spend HP on a shield for a top 10 this time. It's great to be in an alliance.

As for the pve, I have not idea where I will land in the final ranking. I usually end up in top 5-10 at the end of each round, but we are so close together and the finish time is so inconvenient, that I might miss even top 50 if there a stream of players exploits rubberbanding in the final hours. The fact there are many hard missions this time that give high points doesn't help either.

Well I managed first in my pvp bracket with 850 or so. Had to break shield with under 5 minutes remaining to keep it, but I pulled it out and got the x-force cover. Now to let it collect dust.

I'm struggling big time in unstable ISO. The two highest point missions I have no hope at winning, even boosted. I have one more clear left that will be ready a few hours before the end. I'm still going to push for top 50 but I feel it will be frustrating and on the low end of the top 50. Our alliance is in 12th right now in this event also, may be able to push for top 10 to grab another 100 HP assuming all the nodes don't go hard or deadly by the end.

Of course they went and made psylocke the reward for the widow tournament. I'll be going for top 10 this event also as that's the one recent cover I had a horrible time getting a hold of and do have some interest in her. Just need to figure out how much ISO to pump into widow to make her semi usable.

Hi guys
Man I'll be close to the number 1 for captain event seem to 1st every night b4 bed wake up and battle to hold it again,
Will be a run for the finish line, can't wait to see what torch will like and the way the alliance is going May get at least 2 covers.
Great work lads

Another break-shield-last-fight to squeeze into top10 for me. PVPs are just excessively exciting these days.

I didn't realise we were in top15 range for PVE o.O That means everyone is averaging 43k thereabouts o.O Go go go!

As for the PVP, maybe run with default Widow and your best two characters and see how far that gets you? Then you can slowly figure out how to pump her overcome the harder opponents.

The Finn

Well done it sounds like a lot of the team placed very high! Impressive showing!


The alliance rewards have definitely paid off for me--I blew 500 pts to buy my third obw blue cover. I have actually suddenly had some luck pulling obw from standard tokens, getting black and purples to get to 3/2/4. Getting blue to 3 reduces ap cost by 2, which is huge. So I blew all my saved hp to get it. Now to learn how to use her on my team!

I am now more excited by the two events and will try my best. GL As we get to end of unstable iso and a new character!

I decided to enter a bracket right now in the pvp. The first match was against Punisher/Daken/BW and ended in a humiliating defeat. I miss the seed teams. I was also confused at first because I couldn't find OBW in the available roster. This is what happens when you take a hero with you wherever you go. Anyway, I think I will swap Ares for Patch in this one to have someone who can heal after taking a hit..

I try to max Thor and Psylocke first - alongside with OBW. But I´m level also chars who are boosted in an Event to catch a good place.

I´d made a posting to the "Single Player searching for an alliance"-Thread but I suggest it is better to be active

For your information -> the link to my posting viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5159&start=480#p106185

Currently I collect 45609 Points in the instable ISO Event. Within the last 6 pve Events i´m always in top 50 (Psylocke Event Top 10).
In PvP Events I´m happy if I collect 150 till 300 Points.


So as english isn´t my native language if been a littel bit shy with posting in Chats or Forums.

Hope that I maybe fit to your recruitment conditions and would be happy to hear from you.

Kindest regards

Fipsy

Logging off right now. As of this post we are #7 in PvE! Go team. The difference in rewards isn't huge, but an extra 50 HP would be rad (plus the ego boost wouldn't hurt ).

The Finn

Ya we are doing quite ok now that we're at max capacity.

Hi Fipsy thank you for your intetest! Unfortunately we are no longer accepting new members as we are full. If they ever expand the alliances or someone leaves, we can connect again then. In the meantime best of luck and see you in the game!

I just had the weirdest thing happen--not sure if bug or what but it resulted in enough opposing team raging tempests to destroy my full health team in one shot...
Fat thor unleashed a call the storm for 2495 damage to c.storm who happened to have the exact same amount of health. I in fact double checked the numbers. But to my shock, she survived with a 1 hp left. 1 health. I could only stare in disbelief as she then proceeded to unleash an unholy hell on my crew. An amazing sight to behold but damn if it ain't fair! I didn't lose much as it is still early in the pvp but wow, just wow...

Kind regard for you fast feedback !

Have fun and good luck

Greetings

As of now we are all the way up to number 5. The gap between us and top 2 isn't even that much either. I'm betting that if we can get a strong ending with full stacks(which will be an accomplishment itself the way the enemies are scaling) we could possibly make it to the top 2. That 500 HP would be pretty incredible.

I really wish that they would add more viable 3* purple/blue/black users. The best option is cmags but lightning rounds are a pain to deal with and he rarely seems to get offered outside of there. I still use widow because the stealing and heals are nice, but at the same time it's a huge detriment to pve. Ice has said that the game looks at your health when you end battles so essentially if you heal up before finishing a fight it will only increase the enemy scaling at a more rapid pace. It sucks since it's a mechanic they put in the game but at the same time it hurts you towards the end of the events if you use it. I've been trying my best to use the healing as little as possible to try and keep enemy levels lower and it seems to help a bit.

Also, can the thread title be edited to get rid of the "is open" part? Don't really want to mislead others that are still looking for an alliance.

It would be great to have you in.

I just changed the title of the topic from "Wyldside is open" to "Wyldside [Chat]". I also posted an announcement in the first post and the one in the alliance recruitment sub-forum to let everyone know we are full. Hopefully this will reduce the number of players who apply in the future.

Making top 10 in the alliance final ranking will be extremely difficult because most players in the top alliances play optimally and will try a final assault just before the event ends. It is frightening how close everyone is in top 50. I am #30 now, only 2k behind #4 in my bracket, but I still have 2k points unclaimed (from the matches I can win) and I will be able to play until 6-7 hours before the ends since it ends 7am for me.

Thankfully I had many boosts saved and the +20% damage helped a lot against the Muscle/Ragnarok/Venom team. This team is easier to beat compared to the ISO-8 Raiders or Stolen Cash. I tried twice the Daken/Bullseye team with no success so I decided it's not worth the waiting until the healing packs refresh.
