    First PvP event in a while that ends on a good time for EU players, so I can be cheap and end with a 3 hour shield.

    I consider it way worse than the dawn ones -- it ends while I must work. Guess as many other people with real life that messes with the MPQ plans. icon_e_smile.gif

    Getting crazy in my bracket. #1 at around 1100. Me around 1055. #3-10 are >750. Lol.

    Yeah, I'm in your bracket, much to my chagrin. I knew it wouldn't be an easy bracket when I joined and saw you were already #1, but I had no idea it would end up like this. I had SongCn in queue at one point, and I thought I might've been able to beat him with copious boosts, trading about 30 points, but I decided to shield instead. Since I started this post, I've dropped to fourth. I'll probably push to stay in the top five, but I wish you and SongCn luck in vying for #1. I have no designs on that spot anymore. (Though, it'd be nice to see one of you hit 1200... just to prove it's possible. I've never seen a bracket that shook out like this.)


    Thanks! I plan on hitting 1200. Will be tough but I think I'll manage. Be and songcn have been going at it hard all tourney trading 1/2 back n forth. Hehe.

    If I get 17 more points I'll double 10th place score.

    Only pushed to 1040 before reshielding. I am certai. O could have gotten one or two more in without issue, I am just a scardy cat lol. I have a bad feeling I am going to have to reshield more though as unwiseone is moving up and is only 100 pts down atm. I have him qued up now, so that's worth..something? The more ppl are forcing me to reahield the more I might just go for the 1200 reward.

    Grr. I'm stuck around 550 range. Everytime I gain 50 points, I get attacked for 50 points. I'm gonna make one more push then be done.

    Haha. Thanks. I made a push and shielded around 934, just before I was hit for 35. 2 defensive wins got me to 983 and now I hope for one more defensive win to get the 1000 reward. If I don't get it and I still have some distance from #2 I will play 1 last game 3-4 minutes before the end. It will be the first time I make it to 1000+. icon_e_smile.gif

    @narkon, that actually seems about average. I joined at 10 hrs or 8 hrs left or something and sans my own, the scores are very similar.
    I live in EU and since I enter around 2-3pm (GMT+2) with 1.5 days until the end (tournaments usually end 6-7am for me), I am in a bracket that has mostly EU players (since it's the middle of the night for US players). It could be that my brackets were less competitive in the past and I only needed ~730-760 for top 5, but I have placed several times #1 with ~820 points and a decent safety margin between myself and #2. This time I entered earlier than I usually do and #5 now is around 800, but the reason I said the bracket was very competitive is the fact that the 500-600 zone was brutal. It was extremely difficult to get away without getting hit for 35-40 per match. The last 3-4 hours were quiet though. I assume it was because western Europe was working when I made the final push.

    good luck pyscho. I hope to get 3rd red lazy thor from juggs heroic so I wussed out and stopped just over 1k once i got the HP.

    Edit: may have to push as #2 closed the gap by abt 100 pts. Qued up 50 pts for 2 quick fights.

    I just did a few more, up to #3 in my bracket with about 870. Two two guys... first has over 1k, sending about 100 points above me. Right now though, all I'm getting are matches close to 100-141 lvl characters, so just shielded for now as I gotta get back to work.

    is it a bug or do they really award only one 2** cover for placing, red Ares?

    3 **s are gone for like a week and likely stays that way for a while.

    OK which one of you mean buggers beat seven different shades of snot out of anhmq?

    He had just climbed to second in my bracket and pushed me to the dreaded fourth slot, and now he is back 100 points behind me presumably with a large truck grille imprint on his forehead.

    Still, saves me from having to break shield before spidey LR kicks off.

    Well I made it up to 1196 and got best down to 1130ish. Gotta go to work now. At 2nd place behind SongCn at 1215. Hope I don't get this kind if bracket again for a while. Haha! Was super fun though.

    Its great--if you only need one colour and one colour only for some reason. It really only benefits 1-2* transitions as they have more slots to get 1 cover. But its the 3* hunters that get the shaft. moving the upper 2 colours to 10+ is just mean. They found a way to make getting a specific cover you need/want even MORE tedious than it already was. All because they want to put a hurting on the number of top placement winners reward gains. 1 step forward 3 steps back.
