So, assuming that Heavy Metal will be the last PVP of the season, and will end Saturday morning CET... that leaves us with two full days of only Shield Training available?
Boy what a great way to close out a fantastic season, eh? Nothing at stake but progression rewards.
Yeah, a fitting ending

Why would it be? In all recent weeks we had a PVP that started overlapping 12h with the midweek one and ending Monday at dawn (for EU), same time season ends. Of course there will be one more PVP, possibly it will even offer MaDaken for more rush.

Just throwing out a "I see you" to klingsor, Mooseman, DanMan, and Dreylin. All forum peeps in my top 10, all of whom have about 3-4K points more than me (so by "I see you", I mean from very, very far away in 400th place).

Bingo. The enormous size of the single leaderboard caused the server hiccups folks might have seen over the past couple of days.

However, Season 2 will surely start as soon as Season 1 ends in 5 days. The precedent here is what matters. Dollars to donuts, this change was made in preparation for Season 2. If and when Season 2 does offer a high-value personal placement prize (let's say Nick Fury Yellow), then this change makes ALL the difference.

The version of S.H.I.E.L.D. training in testing now has rewards very similar to the currently running one. (Caveat: it's still in testing; we may make changes.)

While you're here: any chance you'd be willing to discuss if you've made adjustments to MMR, the way players are put into PVP brackets, and how we can get rid of our scaling which skyrocketed due to having to catch up in this event?
And whether we'll get a break between seasons?

less than 300 points away from my 10 pack

I would have to get about 500+ points from this IM40 event to make that happen. Anyone want to predict the future and tell me if that will happen xD?

There will be another event after this one.

yeah im glad there is one more, even if i can't get 5000 in total from doing this one and doing a few more simulator matches

I do have a question I wanted to ask but kept forgetting to ask

I noticed that after each event ends, there is a Player Score and Alliance Score. Does that have a purpose for additional prizes or no?

No, that's just for reference purposes. The alliance score is currently broken, since I assume it's actually supposed to display, well, your alliance's score in the event.

For a long while, players have been asking for a way to check leaderboards and scores after an event has ended -- a request that garnered even more support after the introduction alliance placement rewards. D3 obliged.

oh ok thanks for clearing that up for me

Yeah there is no way the alliance I am in is good enough to ever rank high for awesome new covers like Fury. Its ok though, I'm still working on my 2* transitioning.

Apparently I have angered someone in the SHIELD Training. The only matches I'm getting are against Teams with all or nearly all 141s. And the highest I have is a maxed 2-Star Thor... so yeah...

Keep the 3*, they are hard to come by and you might need them in PvE for the essential nodes.

It really has been a grind, huh? I'm lucky I had a week off work in there and a timely visit from my inlaws to focus on a few events. Hopefully I can keep top 10...

So the news thing updated with no more PvP events on the horizon my instincts were right on this one. Leave a nice two day gap for people to duke it out in shield simulator before this bugger ends!

yes...great job pamizard!!

I swear, this game is actively making sure I can't get to 5000 points. I just got over 5000 after a win in Heavy Metal, but I just happen to get hit in SHIELD Training so Nope. Then I go into a quick game to get the points I need in Heavy Metal, and the enemy just happens to get the perfect cascades to make sure I don't ever have a chance.

Makes you want to punch something. And I have to keep playing because I know if I don't, I'm probably going to lose another 100 points somehow.

Unknown

*bows* thank u thank you for the congrats

From the look of things if we do have one more event this season and I get a good amount of points I think I can rank for 4 heroic tokens instead of three, get two more from my alliance placement plus get my heroic token daily today which will put me at about 8 more hero tokens almost like another ten pack.

Please let it happen *puppy dog eyes*

Unknown

Phew... just made it. I don't care what happens in the rest of Season 1. I got my 10 Pack.

I'll let you guys decide. Do I save it for whenever Nick Fury is in the packs, or use it now?
