    Did they change the matchmaking with the latest update? I am at 700 in the Hulk pvp and I find way too many players worth 4-6 points. I didn't have this happen before so much. Could it be that an awful matchmaking system just became even worse?

    I'm experiencing similar issues. At first, I was getting all very low level opponents worth 5 points. Now, I'm getting matches that are worth 25pts but it's all 141 level opponents. I went from one extreme to another. My highest level person is 95 and I my hulk is 55. I don't stand a chance of outlasting a maxed out LT/Hulk. Oh well... icon_rolleyes.gif

    500 iso per day is going to be very, very nice.

    I have the same issue. At the same time even. In one rotation, either 3 point enemies with 1* rosters or 20 point enemies with 141 rosters. There is no middle ground anymore. This completely stopped my progress in its tracks at 700. I could easily defeat the 141 guys too, but I know they can retaliate just as well, so there is no point in doing that. I'm just stuck in the tourney. I even tried tanking in SHIELD training during the tournament, didn't change my enemy selection at all. This update is terrible and looks so far as if it broke PvP for me.

    So how do I contribute to/receive the alliance bonus?

    Just play as normal every day. You'll see it when you get your next first win of the day bonus.

    Sorry if this was posted on an earlier page, but was it an intended change to list the progression awards above the placement awards in the tournaments now? Thumbs down, if so.

    Definitely preferred it the other way: first placement, then progression

    I agree. Why did they even change this? I find myself scrolling a lot lately. Not a big problem but it was better the other way around.

    Also, I think there should be a separate button to go to rankings beside "Event Rewards" button. I'm not sure how this would work on mobile but for PC version this would be a good addition. When I want to look at ranking I first need to go to rewards and then click alliance/player rank from the top.

    If they were going to change it, they could at least have split them onto a separate tab ... I mean now that we have multiple tabs and all!

    I dont mind it that much, you pretty much know what placement reward you are fighting for, except for maybe the 4* at the top. but I usually check the progression rewards quite a bit.

    But the best solution would probably be to break it out into its own tab. or if there is not enough room for tabs, have a cycling category across the top.

    I certainly think it's jarring right now, but it would likely be better in the long run and it's just something I'll need to get used to.

    After finding out what the main 3* cover is for a tournament, I don't really care about much else in terms of placement rewards except noting what the cutoff is for whatever my goal is.

    With progression rewards, I occasionally check them to see how close I am to the next one and whether or not it's worth the effort to make it there.

    I have a good idea of how old you are, now.

    I would say who cares because I am still feeling joynesses about the mental image of someone getting trout-slapped. only thing funnier would be if it was a mackerel, but I know those are harder to come by these days.

      - Black Widow has finally rooted out the mole responsible for destroying the history of recent Events and Tournaments in which Agents have competed. The final standings will now be available for any finished Event or Tournament for a time after its completion.


    Um. Nope. Smash Hit results are gone gone gone.

    Unfortunately they thought Grey Suit could handle it... as usual it was actually a job for OBW icon_cry.gif

    I assume the explanation would be for any event created after the patch.

    Turns out it was there, just not quite what most of us were expecting...
