    thing is, the vast majority of us, even in the premier alliances, simply aren't that hardcore.
    I suppose so. My mid-PvE placement fluctuations were pretty consistent, though. I'd hit #1 after a sweep, then drop to #30-#50 by the time I started my next sweep. Of course, that could just be because everyone was waiting to grind the ever-living s--- out of the last subs.

    P.S. - Good to see y'all leading the PvE rankings, Ace of Base. icon_e_biggrin.gificon_lol.gif

    Argh, I'm over 200 pts ahead of 2nd in hulk tourney but I see a member of shield coiled like a snake 250 pts behind me
  • Shielded at 710 in Hulk, if situation won't change then I don't see any point in pushing higher for now. This should be enough to get all three covers and 200 HP.

    currently 7th at 760 points...don't have the time to grind for the top spot so I'll just aim for a top 10 spot ...
  • Shielded myself at 715 pts and in first place too. Hopefully it stays good enough for a top 10 finish.

    That new ISP tournament is a ****, I was lookin at lvl 170 and 230. I ground a lot of those bithces down but I'm still only in 30th for now.

    I gotta say, usin patch for this tourney is nice. I leveled him up to 70, so havin him buffed is double awesome. I gotta say, the new cap blows as much as old cap. Even super buffed his powers are useless.

    I also want to say that I cannot pull a decent cover if my life depended on it. Friggin ton of hawkeyes, and every other cover I already maxed. It is so frustrating. Ok time to make the donuts.

    May your blades stay sharp and true.

    I've actually been using Old Cap more than New Cap so far. It's much more about having maxed covers for killing the countdown tiles than about the buffed HP & damage - we can all use Patch for that tinykitty.
  • I've shielded out at 800. The guy ahead of me, MerC, must have no MMR at all as he's sitting at 810 with no shields, after spending most of yesterday at 760 with no shields. He bumped up as soon as I passed him. Guess I'm getting Top5 this tourney icon_neutral.gif

    I agree, old cap is actually incredibly awesome against goons if you have him 355.
  • In the ISO tourney, I'm 2nd with 8600 points and 11th with 618 points and shielded. I plan to make another run and shield quick to try and get in the top 10.

    As much as everyone (myself included) complains about getting too many Shieldbro covers, I've still yet to get the 5th Blue and so he's sitting at 3/5/4. I was so excited when I saw the Cap rewards from the opening node and thought "finally I can max his blue and make it useful" but then they lock it after 1 run and I get the Yellow. I was a very sad bunny. icon_cry.gif

    I've sunk so low as to wonder about buying that last slot with HP, but I can't bring myself to that even if it would help out tremendously in some of these PvE. icon_eek.gif
  • currently shielded at 8th place with 630 in fearless defenders, this event was pretty bad for me hope i can make a top 10 finish.

    Taken a second run through ISO-8; played until everything was worth less than 200pts and am sitting in first at 9467.

    Shielded in Fearless Defenders at 646 - currently 5th place. Not sure I'll stay in Top5, but Top10 should be safe; my bracket is uncompetitive.

    Iso: 9200 8th.
    Hulk: 631 12th and about to make a run to 720s with the fights I saved.

    Edit: Hulk. We were 8th as a team. I got to 718 and my top 5.
  • the nodes in the red iso event went from lvl 230 to lvl 97.. no idea how this works but ill just keep grinding nodes

    edit: damn i wanted to grind those nodes again after the fearless event ended and now there are new missions in the red iso event.

    That will happen every 24 hours.

    I also noticed the shift on the 230 node as soon as I beat it.

    Iso: 11744 and 1st place
    Best tourney there is: Haven't started
  • My bracket was horrible. Pure natural selection, lol. icon_lol.gif I did retaliations whole hour... But I end 9th with 757 points. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I hope you realize that, if you don't win this event, you'll need to change your alliance chat title to "Church of Scientology Worship Center", right? icon_twisted.gif
  • Current tourney is awesome. Now my Patch is 281 level with 11400 health and insane numbers in damage. icon_e_biggrin.gif
