Nirvana Alliance - (19/20)

Unknown

Thanks, Danfix! Yeah I'd like 3* daken too. 2* daken was huge as I moved from 2* to 3*. Unfortunately, I don't have any 3* Dakens yet!

Appreciate the tips!

Alright team, I asked to devs to remove The Gas since he is no longer playing. I was also able to take control of this thread in order to update alliance number/topics as needed. If The Gas decides to start playing again he will of course be welcomed.

Moving forward, I would like to start recruiting "serious" players and am recruiting on this forum. I am not talking 900+ per event but I feel it is fair to ask everyone to contribute at least 300 per PVP. I want to see what it will take to break into top 100 of alliance rankings and we currently have members that do not play PVP at all or just a few matches. I know the Commanders have all sunk some serious HP into this alliance and it is time to start shooting for those 3* covers each event.

Talk to you all soon!

Hey, I'm new to the forums and come across your recruitment post.
I tried to pm, but I don't quite have those privileges yet. I'm an active
player that is looking for an active alliance where I can be a team player
My major highlights are a season 1 placement was 16 and season 2 in the top 100

Alliance is now capped at 20 slots and is looking to start placing in top 100 for 3* covers. Recruiting any daily players with diverse rosters. Please PM me or apply in game.

Currently we have open spot but may recruit 3-4 great players depending on situation. Thanks

Hey team, what do you think about the new TeamUp abilities? After reading the explanation from IceX it seems like a cool add-in. Should spice up the gameplay a little bit!

Also, Deadpool...very interested to see what his abilities are.

Hey Team,

I wanted to write a quick summary about that last PVP event but can't stand using the in-game chat.

Nirvana Alliance finished 145th place with 10,512 points. Our best finish yet!

Another user informed me the alliance that finished in 100th place had exactly 13,500 points. Divide that by 20 and you need each player to average 675 points. We had seven people top 675 in this last event, so we have a ways to go.

My questions: How important is a T100 finish to you? It looks like we would need to raise the bar from 300 to 600 in order to even have a chance at cracking T100. Is this something you think you can obtain on a consistent basis? Do you think it would burn our players out and/or suck what fun is left in this game?

Honestly is the best policy so I'll start off: T100 would be great but would not ruin my day. I strive to get at least one 3* in the event, normally though a T100 personal placement. I doubt I can top 600 points in each PVP, primarily due to time constraints on weekends, but think I could do it in many weekday events. I am up in the air as far as burnout goes, some days are better than others

Please reply with any comments, questions, jeers, cheers, etc.

This is the first time that i've not been in a top 100 alliance. For me it's usually not that hard to break 600, but you have to make a push in the last hour, our use a shield until the end of the event if you aren't avaliable at that time. I'm really looking for a top 100 team, and if this isnt it, then i may keep on looking.

Unknown

Hmmm... I dunno, I usually end up with around 450 points in PvPs I don't care about and apparently with true healing and death brackets my new cap on points is 800.

I would have loved a yellow Patch cover for this event, but at the same time grinding to 600 and shielding for Ragnarok covers sounds... well awful frankly. Maybe for now we should try deciding on a cover by cover basis set by commanders? So basically we wouldn't try for Loki covers and everyone could score zero with no repercussions, and for a lets say Lazy Thor event everyone would be expected to get 600.

I feel like this would reduce burnout while still allowing us to get good covers occasionally, the downside here is everyone is gonna have to check chat to see if they should push or not but, that doesn't seem too demanding to me. We could also pick our spots, so if say Deadpool is being given as a PVP award then we would realize that the competition is too tough.

Another thing to consider is that the way the game is currently set up there is no real benefit to having a top 200 alliance, so trying to make t100 might be a good idea.

What are your thoughts on my idea, Tagstar? In game name is FlyingSandals by the way.

Tagstar87

Good idea CatMan (FlyingSandals). This is basically where I am leaning. It's apparent that our alliance is going to have to grind a bit to get T100 and the only way I can think of incentivizing players to do that is for the "best covers". No one wants to grind for a Loki or Spiderman cover. We'll see what the other members and commanders say.

I get what you're saying shmoli and I doubt this alliance will crack T100 overnight. If you need to leave, no hard feelings.

I set a personal goal for 600 in each PVP.
The ones that I want covers of I shield and push in order to attain that mark (or top 25+ mark).
Even still 600 is a great mark to try and attain, 50 hero points and a recruit token are all needed no matter who you are.
For PVPs where the prize are covers that I dont put a high priority on I at least get to 400/500; but then I usually get attacked back down.

Unknown

I agree with FlyingSandals. I usually get between 600-800 on good events, and at least 300-400 on ones with bad covers. We would need some good teamwork on deciding which events would be the best to grind on, but it is entirely possible, either through here or the in-game chat. This would allow for less burn out and optimising the use of health packs between PvE and PvP. I'd really like as well if we could get into the top 100 since anything below that is not worth very much and an extra cover every event would go a long way in very little time. Another benefit is that with the points we would need to reach it I believe most of us would be getting at least 2 covers from each event for their individual effort, thus ensuring that all players are strengthening their rosters at a good pace.

I like the idea being proposed. I've always wanted to top 100 in the alliance rankings someday, but I didn't want us to become some ruthlessly competitive team that tosses out members who miss a goal for the first time. I always get 600+ per PVP and I'm nowhere close to burned out on this game.

Our team isn't yet at the point of being engaged or committed enough to crack top 100 consistently and I'd bet that several on the team have never been to these forums. So let's throw the idea out on chat to see whether the team would be open to 600+ expectations for certain event rewards. Perhaps if 10+ members agree, we'd go for it. Off the top of my head, I'd largely choose the newer ones like Daken, Sentry, and Thor. I also wouldn't mind focusing on the valuable ones like Hulk, Panther, Magneto, Patch but that could be a stretch. I'd rule out any heroes who can't level to 166 (Ragnarok, Doom, 2* Torch). It's probably too late to ask for this for the current Patch event with the lazyThor reward.

Other thoughts on this?

Tagstar87

Thanks for all the replies. It seems like most of us are in the same boat. We need to be realistic about our expectations (not everyone will crack 600 in a PVP) but that is no reason not to keep encouraging participation. I also will be pushing for Thor rewards in Patch event so look for me to break 600.

The chat system is so archaic but I agree with Dune that it is the only way to ensure all members get the gist of our conversation. Everyone play their own way in Patch event and have fun. I like the idea of voting on each PVP, 10 votes for the reward means we need team to push. Next event will most likely be a Thor PVP, hopefully with a good reward!

Unknown

I'm glad everyone is on the same page! One thing though is I think it is kinda vital for everyone to get 600 on the events we do decide to push for, if 19 members really want Thor and everyone agrees in chat then I think it would be a really bad situation if we missed the cover because one member didn't get 600, I think 600 is a fairly low bar for only certain events where everyone agrees, if the alliance demanded 600 for every event then I agree that that would be brutal.

Another thing to consider is that if we don't make top 100 for events that everyone agrees to push for then that might discourage members from pushing just to help the alliance. For example if 10 people agreed to push for hulk covers but, I didn't want hulk covers I would absolutely score 600+ just to help my teammates get the covers, however if we never made top 100 anyway then I might find myself scoring 300 because it wouldn't matter either way.

At the end of the day though, I'm a new member, so I'll go with the flow and be patient, just throwing some ideas out there to see what everyone thinks.

Did anyone catch where we were placing right before the crash on the deadpool event?

Unknown

Haven't been able to connect since yesterday morning/afternoon, but last time I checked we were going between 95 and 105. Is everyone having the same problem or just some of the players?

HxiiiK

right before i went off because my characters were all downed there was 4-5minutes left in the deadpool tourney.. sad to say we were at 108th or so
