Hollowpoint Kiss Apr. 23 - Apr. 25 (Season 1)

Unknown

Has been viciously competitive for the last 8 hours - i've been shielded most of that time and still been hit about a dozen times on retals / people who found me while shield was down. Max LT and cmags not putting anyone off

Pushed to 1170, but acilbalik right behind at 1152. Luckily i just found and queued Beee which looks like a pretty valuable last minute fight if needed!

Glad I could help Mikey. I hit 1300 and shielded

Agreed that this Time around has been exceptionally brutal. I apologize to those forum regs who i had hit to manage to get myself to 999 :-/

I desperately want to hit 1100 for my last GSBW cover. I unshield to hit 3 people, get hit twice in the process, net gain of 30 points. This is painful, is there a better strategy right now? I oh-so-desperately just want to get that fifth green.

Unknown

Beee - great thanks. unless acilbalik has a good queue ready, I suspect he'll need a few fights to make up 18 pts plus the 35 or so that you must be worth

Unknown

I'm trying to get up high enough to call it a tournament.

It's been brutal all day, as I've been yoyoing between the high 500 and the mid 700 range. That's significantly lower than my average total the last few tournaments.

Unknown

Glad to see that I shield and 3 minutes later I'm hit for -40, screw this. This is complete horsecrap - I tanked like crazy during LRs, I'm unshielding for ~4 minutes 40 seconds to get 2 quick kills in with boosts, and I come out to get hit twice, while someone in my bracket has been unshielded for 15 minutes at 916 and nobody's touching him.

Unknown

Just hit droc76 with his 141 c Mag and 141 Hulk. Limped it in for the win. Go big or go home, right?

go for just 2 fights and 3hr shield. 1 if you can find a high pt opponent that will take a long fight. Its brutal bc everyone wants Fathor. I threw in the towel at 1050ish sunce I don't need that cover.

I'm going for 1 fight now. First 2 times I tried unshielding, after the second fight I'd get smacked for -30 to -40 by 700 range players. I'm at 1024 right now, and I have Walkyourpath, Beezer, and DJTheophilus queued up. I don't plan on smacking them when they're unshielded (although it's hard to tell when they aren't), and it'll just take me two more good whacks to push myself to 1100 if I'm fortunate. Maybe 3, or 2 and someone loses to me. It just drives me nanners when my matches are going so quick (crit boost, use Magneto for crits, Patch cleans up with absurd damage as a result, use Patch's red on Hulk-like characters for instakill once other characters are down), and then I come out and get smacked at least once. Rrgh.

Unknown

One of the things that annoys me the most is that they continue to make the red impossible to get. Assuming I don't get top ten this time (it's iffy at best), I'll have an 0/4/5 LazyThor. If they rotated the covers some I could balance him out a little. There are only two covers that have been released to date in this game I don't have any of, and the other 1) is a 4* and 2) I'll have in a week or so from daily rewards.

I'm shielded right now if you want to get that one out of the way. Haven't seen you in my queue all day.

EDIT: That was quick

I figured, I highly doubt someone could sit at your score for more than 5 minutes without getting leeches ripping off chunks of your points. I also took a whack before I saw this, given I literally queued you up 20 minutes ago and doubt you'd risk pushing again already.

I'm at 1064 now with Walkyourpath queued up, reporting he's worth 35 points, but his actual score isn't 1216 like it says (it's 1245 according to the alliance leaderboards) - will that last whack put me over into GSBW green territory? I want to say yes but I'm so damn nervous, given... those first two unshielding attempts going explosively bad.

I also wanna play Dark Souls 2 asap so the quicker I get this stressfest done the better.

WYP just got some more points so it might actually get you there now.

Ooh baby~. Well, I've... blown way more of my HP stockpile than I'm used to for the sake of this last accursed **** GSBW green cover, so I figure I'll wait until the 3 hour mark before taking that last critical whack, save myself 75 HP. Make sure he doesn't lose those points! I don't think you folks need to push much more to maintain your lead on 5DV.

I never count them out... fortunately in every pvp reckless pushes me to do better than I think is even possible.

And don't feel bad about the hp expenditure. That cover is important (although who knows if the character is anymore) and it would have cost 1250 hp anyway but this way you get to enjoy the excruciating agony of wondering if you're going to be hit during a match

I'll make sure to be shielded at the 3 hr mark until you get your hit in! Best of luck!

Thanks mate. I hate this shield/unshield thing but they give out GSBW covers so rarely that I just desperately want the last one. Usually I only care about placement but this time and the first Hot Shot had me going (I want a 5/3/5 HT so I didn't bother the second go) for that 1100 reward. I'm also glad that a black Hulk cover is being given out as progression for the Season, so... every older character will finally be cover maxed for me, and I can chillax in that regard and just fret over new character covers.

Unknown

Gotta love GSBW on defense... Let her get 11 Purple and it's "Hey guys mind if I leave a bunch of green tiles around for you to use? No problem happy to help"

Unknown

Yay GSBW green. Time to go get killed in Dark Souls 2 now. Hope my alliance picks up some slack 'cause if I don't get that last LT covers as well, I will be majorly pissed, right now we're #68 and if we dip out of reward range, tables will be flipped.
