    I am still waiting as well. I stayed shielded in first all morning. I am curious to see if the person in 2nd was successful in their push to unseat me or not.

    As an aside, I don't understand why people are fielding Patch in this tourney. Most everyone seems to be fighting in the desert, which means his green will be consistently sub-par on defense. And yet, every match up seems to be BWGS, Spidey, and Patch. Now Punisher I especially fear in this tourney given how quickly my own has been accruing green. I'll fire it off once, maybe twice, and can still quickly ramp to a sniper rifle if needed with just one Oasis followed by deceptive tactics. He's just so efficient on that map for wiping someone out.
    For me, speed (as was already mentioned) and I have Patch at 141 while my other 3 star candidates to do green damage are much lower. (Ragnarok is currently capped at 89 until hopefully Hotshot ends, Punisher and Hulk are cover-complete but only high-70s)
  • Huh. This is strange. I feel...empty

    I Top 5-ed my bracket. I even placed 2nd. Why do I feel like this?

    Then my rewards arrive, and it hits me.

    The last time I placed in the Top 5, I was rewarded with 3 Psylocke covers. Now, I get 2 Psyke covers.

    Devs, please bracket the Alliance rewards.

    Please... icon_e_sad.gif

    My Patch is capped in his 70's right now, so I've never felt him at full strength. I hear over and over that he's a beast on offense, and was abusing the same desert tiles I was. However, I still feel like seeing Patch on defense is one of the reasons I did as well as I did this time around (the other 2 being I have a 100+ BWGS while most other people have flashier 3*'s leveled, and also seeing a ton of Spideys on defense). With Patch vs. BW, there were always only a handful of spread out purple tiles b/c I matched the easy ones, and with Oasis I would clear your strike tiles in a couple of turns usually. So at most, I took 1 or 2 hits from them while getting to keep my purples around (along with 3+ of Punisher's 100 strength tiles). So I can see his appeal on offense, but as a defensive entity on desert, he was a non-factor (generally didn't even have the yellow to regen, or just simply didn't live long enough).

    And it seems like myself and half my alliance are all waiting on our individual awards as well.
    Edit: Mine just came in. Yay for a top 5 finish!

    This was just such a fun slaughterfest. Basically match damage gathering a few purples would get most enemy team members to around 5k, then just one-shot them all with sniper rifle. I've been relying heavily on GSBW lately and it was really fun seeing her boosted!

    Just checked and mine came in as well. Dropped out of top 5, but stayed in top 10 and got the 2 Psylocke covers which is what I was after. Hooray!
  • Finally got my rewards. Phew. I was having a bad feeling about not getting it within the hour. I was thinking of the worst. icon_lol.gif IHatePVP is right though.

    I got the same feeling too. It's not just with the rewards but also with how much has changed since the game launched. Things changing fast and they're headed towards a direction I'm not happy with. icon_e_sad.gif
  • Placed top 5 but didn't need the red, and I think our alliance fell just shy of the top 100 ...

    While I am worried over my own placement in top 10 (only need the red, alas), I have a very interesting sight to watch obesrving S.H.I.E.L.D's Bee trying to take 1st in our admittedly tough bracket. I presume he has no need for the 1100 pts reward, GSBW green. He made the #1 unshield icon_e_smile.gif

    Lol locked I be honest I wanted to see how far that guy would push for first I got to 1100 then got to 1142 then got hit before I shielded. I usually don't aim for first because I won't level up 4* guys before my 3s but wanted to make sure the alliance maintained top those deadly venoms were pushing hard that last hour

    IM35 21 3/3/1
    mnThor 8 1/0/1
    cStorm 7 1/0/1
    Ares 6 1/0/0
    Moonstone 6 0/1/0 and
    Bagman 6 0/1/0

    with 835pts in pvp, who keep beating my 85lvl aWolv, 65lvl Spiderman and 60lvl(buffed) BW with his Thor, Storm and basic Widow.
    Does it sound in anyway normal to someone?

    How can we help?

    Hi there, I would like to report player Kaosvagabundus as a suspected cheater. As you can see from the attached screenies they have well over 700 points and no roster to back it up with.

    If I am wrong then I am wrong but thank you for taking the time to look into it.

    That bracket is ridiculous. Any one of those people would have easily clinched the bracket I was in. I was top 10 with < 700 points.

    Yup, I had to spend 300 HP on shields for just one red Psy cover, but at least I already got 200 HP back in rewards. Kids don't join tough brackets!
  • I wasted a lot of my winning hp from this tournament on shields but still ended up on the plus side. Need to somehow get human torch competitive I pulled a torch with the progression reward at 300 which was good but he is still so weak

    I'm still annoyed at my alliance for not even making top 100, the black one is the cover I needed the most.

    I think most just like Patch because of the speed. And on desert if you're the one casting oasis and destroying his tiles they might be hoping for quick damage and a ramp up to sniper rifle (or a recast of berserker).

    I like him for his speed as well but I also love seeing him as an opponent so I don't use him as much. But if I need a quick match he's a definite go to. Especially suicide runs with Hulk or complete dismantlings with cMags.
    I don't know about anyone else, but I used patch because even with my GSW boosted to like 130, I still found it more useful to use 2 of his greens than 1 sniper rifle. If you toss an oasis down, it doesn't matter if it eats a few strike tiles, because you'll have enough green to cast it again, and then with how little HP GSW has, you only needed like 2 blue matches to keep the other team stunlocked once you got the strike tiles down.

    And of course, there's no such thing as defense in this game

    Why do people keep saying there is no such thing as defense? When they took away 3 tries to win I started earning defensive wins, roughly 1/4 to 1/3rd of my matches are wins, 1/2 on really good days. Its not a fluke when I win, its because I put in a team so basic even the AI can't jack it up... That is defense baby!!

    Yeah. While offense is obviously favored in this game, defense matters a lot when it comes to deterring attacks and not having to grind lost retaliation points, which amounts to saving a lot of time and hp for shields.

    Well, that was fun.
    Sniped out a victory by unshielding with 3 minutes to go and doing one fight - I think this snipe is pretty appropriate for a GSBW tourney icon_e_wink.gif
    Sorry for attacking you at the finish line, Davecazz, hope you were shielded or that I at least didn't cost you some reward you were still going for!

    When you overtake someone, you really should have a cushion that is bigger than one fight if there's more than 5 minutes left icon_e_wink.gif

    I was shielded, thanks for the apology but even if I got smacked it would have been by fault.
