    Some of us on this forum are psychologists specialising in addictive and psychotic behaviour...just saying *wink*

    A real psychologist will use the description "obsessive compulsive behaviour".... icon_razz.gif

    "I need to match gems..... it overrides sleep and sex...."

    Oh it never died. Responsibilities just keep getting in the way of playing. Haha.

    Having said that though...I did get to rank 158 during Hearts of Darkness a few days ago. Would've been top 50 if it wasn't for that annoying thing called sleep. icon_razz.gif[/quote]

    Responsibilities will not seem important once the addiction gets deeper. One of us, one of us.

    Congrats on rank 158! You have to learn to live on less sleep like the rest of us. I play almost exclusively on slice 5 just so that I can rank higher! What is sleep compared to the precious hero points and covers you get from top 50.

    Were you in vet brackets or noob brackets? (and did you actually know there was a hidden vet/noob structure? icon_lol.gificon_lol.gif )

    I've been wondering since cl came out if this is still a thing. Dunno if it is anymore.

    No more vet\noob brackets since the introduction of CLs. It would be redundant to have a noob bracket in CLs 1-4. And it would be pointless in CLs 7-8.

    Your Friday Fix
    (Looking at you dsds icon_lol.gif )

    I have some exciting news: I got my first Command Point! icon_e_biggrin.gif Ya, I know most of you have tens of hundreds of them probably, but as a newbie I was excited icon_razz.gif

    I got it when I was playing The Hulk event, and my 3rd win on the last bomb node finally netted me it. That golden card looked oh so sweet.

    On top of that, I got 28th in that event! Overall, a productive night I'd say.

    Hey, waitaminnuthere...How the heck did you get it on the 3rd clear?? It takes me 4 to get the Command Point!

    Maybe it was from a shield intercept on the third clear?

    I don't believe you get the "golden card" reward screen from the intercepts though. Probably just miscounted. icon_e_wink.gif

    Probably. Haha. I had such laser focus on getting that CP before the event timer ran out, that I didn't bother to keep an accurate count of which attempt I was on. icon_razz.gif

    Grats!

    Was this the first CP you have ever had on your account, or just the first time you have hit the last node of a PVE sub 4x for the 1CP reward?

    This is not a snarky question. I already had my feet in 4* land when CP were introduced, so I have no idea how easy/hard it is for new players to earn CP or LTs (or HP and 3* covers for that matter), or how quickly one can progress through 2* land and into 3* play. Always interested in hearing from players with newer rosters (an under-represented crowd on these forums).

    He is probably just beta testing the "+1 node clear" boost.

    Congrats on t50! Next item on the checklist, unlock SCL8 and start getting t5 with me! icon_lol.gif

    ....okay, maybe don't do that, youll spend all your time playing and we might have to get a new community manager, lol.

    In any case, i think its awesome you are taking the time to experience the game from the ground. Its great fun. My only concern is, it will be a year before you start to understand the parts of the game most of us are struggling with! Lol

    Anyway, have fun! If you get into PvP I would advise you not to tell us what slice you play! I might have to hunt you down.... icon_e_wink.gif

    (Kidding, I don't think I will ever be able to see you haha. The game wouldnt match you up as a suitable opponent)

    Brigby, while looking at your roster it looks like you quit the game icon_lol.gif

    Any update on your progress?

    Haha. Nope. Didn't quit the game. Just haven't had time to update roster in my sig. I'll update it today during lunch. icon_razz.gif

    Side Note: I got my first 4-Star recently! Star-Lord (Legendary Outlaw)

    You'll like Starlord. He pairs well with everybody.

    And this actually true now! More or less. . .

    Exactly. Star Lord is probably the only 4* I bother using on a regular basis. Paired with Strange, goon levels breeze on by.
