Hubris Alliance Chat

Unknown

I haven't posted in a while, so I figured I'd let you guys know what's been going on for me.

I had a long and busy weekend, but tried to find time to play. I'm finding that I'm always playing at off times.

The PVP's have been going **** lately. I never seem to have enough ISO to level my characters and I know I haven't been doing all that great with my scores. Much like many other members in our alliance, I'm hitting a lot of Lv. 100+ characters. I haven't adjusted to how to play since I'm used to relatively quick matches that leave my characters relatively unscathed.

PVE was going great until the update, but at least it's still basically manageable because tbh, scaling was a bit low for this event.

I'm trying to improve my roster. I'm thinking I'd like to get Lazy Thor to at least Lv. 100 and perhaps buy two blue covers for Magneto, but I'm not sure with the nerf. What do you guys think?

I also want to let everyone know that I am considering leaving the alliance for season 3, especially if I can't get my PVP scores up because I don't want to bring you guys down and I may just need a break so I can play more when I want and skip PVP's that I don't want to play. I'll keep you guys posted.

Well if its not one thing its another.

My PC took another dump this morning wheni tried to log in this AM to grind PvE. I cant get it to start even in safe mode. It just locks up in the loading screen. Last time when i re-formatted my hard drive it got the computer running, so i think it might just be a bad hard drive. I know its not overheating, my apartment is temp controller, and all my fans seem to be working. Its not the graphics card, that wouldnt stop a start up. The only other thing i can think it might be is the RAM or the motherboard. Does anyone know a way to reliably test either of those? If i had some spare RAM lying around i could just swap it out but i don't.

At any rate my score will be stagnant in PvE running into the close of the event, which shouldn't be a big deal we were high up. Now i just bet ill personally get knocked out of any extra storm covers. Im going to swing by Best Buy after work today and buy a hard drive. i figure i can get a 500 GB or so for like $50 and hopefully that gets it done.

Damn dude that sux. Hope you get it sorted.

This is what i get for getting a large roster before realizing its a cell phone game.

I hated to make the Decision to move on but unfortently with trying to progress my roster we have been to inconsistant as of late. I would love to see hubris rebound in the near future but to watch this Yo-Yo effect around the 100 spot is a hard thing to watch. It has been fun.

Wish you all the best of luck.

Thanks,
Boom

This last event made me rage. Hard. Not so much for myself, i did not need the covers. But for other alliance mates who i know push hard every event and try their very best.

The lack of respect some of you are showing those who try is fubar.
Im not talking about the ppl in accidents here. They have a more than valid reason.
But to others who simply wont communicate.
I almost rage kicked a member today and that made me realise that maybe its time i move on.
I tried for far to long in the past to stop a ship from sinking and im not doing it again.

I know its just a few days since my call to arms post and i know this makes me sound like a hypocrite.
And maybe i am.

But we failed top 100 again in a bad way and i didnt like it.

Still, this is not fun at all for me. I was with hubris since the beginning. This have been my only guild.
I have had the honour of meeting some really nice ppl. I have witnessed amazing things done by us.
And that is what i will take with me.

I hope you dont think less of me for leaving, but if you do, i think i can understand it.
Rock, hope you get your internet and cpu sorted and thanks for taking me back during my kids adventure time.
Rabbit, stay furry!

To all of you, i wish you good luck and i hope you will find your flow again.

Sad to see Xormar leave but we might as well clean up everything at once here.

Pooz has been doing a whole lot of nothing, i say drop him and lets recruit all the holes we have and see where we are at after that.

Unknown

Mikaine if your still in and around, please start recruiting. We only have a couple days to get back into cover land.

Unknown

I don't have the ability to devote hours to this game at various times during the day in order to keep up with the scores necessary to compete anymore. Multiple events, mmr wall, repetition - the grind is too much. So I'll spare you the trouble of kicking me and leave on my own. Best of luck.

Well, now two of the alliance members I liked the most are gone. We gotta get more people in by midnight if we're going to get top 100 in PvE, and I won't put up with missing the cover; I'm looking to hit top 40 in my bracket and it'd be hilariously sad if I ended up losing the cover that I thought I'd have the easiest time getting.

I echo X's sentiments on the alliance not being communicative; that's the part I hate the most about it. Really sad to see him and boom go, and I hope things can improve from here, because I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable right now.

Unknown

Frankly, it is a lost cause. We just lost the two highest PvP scorers and I can't blame either of them really. We are not getting enough season points to get back into cover range this season. I am done with trying to get people to up their scores because it mostly falls on deaf ears.

Quitting hours before the pve ends was a bit **** though.

elusive

Yeah, I was wondering why they wanted to leave before the PvE ended (since we were easily top 100), but I know that those kind of things go out the window when you're angry.

Unknown

I am not home from work yet but I'll try to do what I can re: members and pve when I am

Unknown

I'm home now. Thanks to elusive, Mikaine, Rock, and anyone else I'm forgetting for posting and getting people in our alliance.

I was thinking about this whole scenario at work and I am wondering if we should try and have some people focus on PVE and some focus on PVP. Let's say we keep the 400 minimum for everyone and then devise some minimum for PVE. Because the PVE numbers are variable, maybe we could have it that by the last few days of the event, our PVE specialists need to have either the highest or the second highest progression completed. I know that wouldn't really work in TaT, but for most PVE's I think it's reasonable.

What do you guys think?

I do think as I said before we need to come up with some serious metrics on PVE, PVP, and communication, and implement some sort of system for when things don't happen so we don't lose strong members like Xorm and boom.

I was sad to see pooz go as well, but I'm okay with low scores at times, as long as communication is occurring as to why the scores aren't where they should be.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks!

Unknown

There is no defence. I didnt for one bit reflect on the fact that i was leaving in the middle of a pve event.
That was tinykitty i completly agree.


Im sorry.

Unknown

Mad props to Mikaine for doing some spring cleaning to ensure a cover for the alliance. I know a lot of us worked hard for storm and we nailed it. Top 50 even, great job.

Now lets push forward on the PvP. Im going to do my best to recover my score, but will be actively recruiting for a slot to swap me out at the end of the tourney if its looking bleak. I will do everything in my power to get you guys a Fury, up to and including kicking myself from the guild.

Unknown

I did what had to be done. But this my last reminder that there shouldn't be any personal PvP finishes less than 400 pts. It does not surprise me that digb left to find an alliance that suits him better.

We have had the discussion about how to enforce the minimum on commanders and I think we got our answer yesterday. Anyone with a decent season score always has the option of finding an alliance that is more committed to high finishes. It sucks but it is pretty natural that people don't give a **** until it affects their bottom line. The outstanding question is whether it affects change for us.
I understand that the current state of the game sucks for people who followed the northernpolarity method of focusing on two characters. When the featured character is one of your weak guys you are an easy target the duration of the whole event. I have a lot of covers but I am still in the same boat. For cmags I topped out at 600 and got hit by three different people to fall to the low 500s less than five mins after. But 400 should still be attainable for anyone and failure to hit it shows a lack of interest in the alliance score.

But again that is also your right. It is a game not your job. But we shouldn't be surprised when people leave like lavish and digb.

But I am obviously not happy with drama and the need for extra work for a match three phone game. Everyone, please post your 400 finishes through the end of the season and at least reduce that drama.

I want you to know it was a hard decision to move on. I was lucky enough that when noone orginally would bring me on you guys took me under your wings. I am very thankful for the time I had spent with you guys. Just right now my style was headed more towards the PvP side as the PvE side was taking too much work with little to profit from it. TBH the TaT event that just ended made me hate PvE even more. It just was too much of a competive grind.

I did let my emotions get the best of me yesterday as I really wanted the Patch Alliance Reward to make my first cover capped 3*. I should have stayed til the end of the TaT event at least. So for that I am truly sorry for my miss judgment. If in the future Hubris feels they want to get back into the PvP events and work on placing at least top 80. A couple of those events were just hard to handle as we were just shy of the top 100.

I really hope there are no hard feelings as I still consider you guys friends. Good Luck in what ever direction you guys go, but I do plan to stop in here and drop a line when I can.

Thanks for everything you guys have done.

AL, it is a good thought but it kind of makes the assumption that having only a portion of us focused on PVP is enough. I don't think this is necessarily the case. I am guessing DIGB went to an alliance that is more focused on pvp rewards and he has the right of it. The truth is, it is easy to get enough alliance points for covers in pve without too much focus on it. PVP is the hard one.

Also, DIGB and Xormar, just FYI, I don't blame you for leaving nor do I think you left before the PVE to punish us or tinykitty us over. The polite thing to do would have been to given some advanced notice but tinykitty happens. I'm just generally disappointed in the whole avoidable thing because you should not have been put in that position in the first place. That I'm experiencing disappointment in a stupid mobile game is probably a sign that I need a break. Anyway, I hope that you find an alliance that can keep pace with you or at least give it a good effort.

I agree with Mikaine.

The problem isnt PvE. Its PvP.

PvE nets one alliance cover after about 10 days of an event. In the 10 days there are likely 3-4 PvP events that all get covers. So do why focus on getting one cover when we could be getting 4.
