Yeah I don't go much if anywhere over 500 until 9h before the end at the earliest, because I don't want to appear as a big fat target for everyone else and I refuse to use more HP on shields than I'm making back from the tournament. So at -9h I start, push as high as a I can and then shield for 8. Usually easy Top10. I might go for 3h shields too if the event ends at a good time, but ouf of the last 10 PvP events, I think 7 or 8 ended in the middle of the night... as a EU player you need to be happy with the scraps from the US table.

He's from shield too, I remember him from my pve bracket" *skip* "Jachdo just hit me atleast it was only -10. That's a retaliation I have no interest in..." *skip* *sees the ladder* DAMN IT ALL! So feast on my carcass shield and the rest of the uber elite. I've flown too high on wings of pastrami

But uhh...I'm shielded now, will probably get another 20ish points when I need to refresh my shield in 3 hours. So, if you get 930+, I likely won't chase unless the alliance rank is in jeopardy.

Heh, no worries. Bad side effect of the Alliances. The best laid intentions of mice and men as they say My options got horrible once I hit 800, doubt I'll be chasing unless they improve greatly.

I tend to doubt I"ll break shields regardless; the only way is if I'm up at the very end and can change things, but I kinda doubt it. This was a weird one - at the beginning I was pretty tanky, but by this afternoon I was getting matched to walkyourpath and Jachdo and had to spend ten minutes retreating in SHIELD training just to see reasonable matches (my highest leveled character is only 81st). They really, really need to fix matchmaking at some point. I wish I could believe they're ever going to.

If your highest guy is only 81 it's kinda unrealistic to want to be winning tournaments It seems that aside from mmr there's also a point based mmr where once you have x points you show up against similar performing players. I cant really complain too much about that in terms of fairness
