corytutor said: Thats not the games fault. Know your limits and the strength of your roster, buy a shield, and spend some iso to find easier teams. A ton of people grill and at 800 or above they arent hard to find. Look at your bracket leaderboard. See those guys at top? Pick the ones in top alliances. When they unshield look for them. Theyre worth the most and also the most likely to grill.

Oh absolutely I know they will still fill the top slots, but I have never aimed for that anyway. As they spread themselves out as I said it made it so much easier for me to get better placement as in T20-50 in higher CL. But perhaps your post sheds some light on why they have their knickers in a knot, imagine how little fun it would be to have to co-ordinate to those levels to spread thin and make sure you don't actually have to fight other top rosters for T10. I think if I had to go to those levels I'd be a bit miffed too. You really have no idea.Occasionally, even with coordination, we end up with 15+ friendlies in a bracket.This is when we laugh, shrug, and ask who really is going for t5.Snipers etc make stuff unpredictable anyway.But we ARE fighting amongst ourselves.It's not like coordination works out every time, right spectator, gmp72 I got called a sniper by one of my alliance mates after I hit someone 3 times in a row to get to 1200 in one of the off-season events and that person sent a SS to my commander via Line..... Haha.... I don't coordinate, I hit anybody except alliance mates as many times as they pop up and are worth decent enough points..... But I'm also not trying for top 10.... It's not sniping until you get angry pms.That's when you send out a survey.

Now we are in the season and all ally's will be playing. It you thought the 40 wins would be easy with PVE as well, lets see what happens for the full season. Never thought for a second 40 wins would be easy, I've just held off commenting until I actually tried it out. Having tried the Storm event now, I dont believe 40 wins will be achievable for someone who also plays PVE heavily, without buying health packs. You take far too much damage each fight. I don't want to sound snarky, but the vets were saying this would not work that well for a reason unless you buy health packs. I assume, and yes I understand that assumption is the mother of all mess ups, that most of the players in the old system that would only go to 575 to maybe push for 900 would also be mainly PVE players. With the new 5* node in 7/8/9, this takes some more health packs to do. So all in, this will be a major issue unless you are willing to buy health packs, which most of the high end PVP/PVE players do....a lot. Like I said, a lot of people were jumping for joy on this, lets see how they feel after this season is over. I think some might change their mind.

OJSP said: SCL affects opponents levels in PvE, rosters determine matchmaking in PvP. So, to preserve health packs, it's probably simpler to choose lower SCLs in PvE. If we have quite a broad roster, picking different teams for the event and finding those who tank for the featured characters might help.
OJSP said: astrp3 said:Now that I've hit 40 wins, I plan on making a final rush for placement at some point and seeing how far I get. I may not like the results, but my goals are pretty low. If you are planning to reclimb later, make sure you change your defensive team to something stronger now. It's the weekend and there's no data push, so there's a chance your weak team would still be in someone's queue until the last minute of the event.

Like I said, a lot of people were jumping for joy on this, lets see how they feel after this season is over. I think some might change their mind. Nick, just curious what SCL you're playing in. My experience in SCL 7 is completely different from what some are reporting (as is often the case)I didn't like win-based-pvp (though I I'm holding off on hating it until I give it a whirl) and still don't but my experience so far hasn't been nearly as bad as i thought it would. In Category-5, I got to 40 wins pretty easily. Not only did I not come close to running out of health packs (I never buy them) but my matches were actually easier than normal (mostly 3* teams instead 4*). I played more matches than I normally would, but don't think I spent that much more time playing given the easier matches (plus not having to skip low matches). I'll have to see where I end up in placement. I play PvE as well, but only at SCL 7 so I barely use any health packs there. I'd say it was the difference in our rosters but yours is probably much better than mine. If so, it may be the SCL and/or slice because it sure as heck isn't my superior skill since I play this game like an absolute moron (usually when watching TV) and if I'm using any strategy, it's entirely by accident. Or maybe I just spend WAY too much time on this game.

Angjo said: If I could ask a question of you @Brigby A lot of players are now having to climb to places they know they will be attacked in order to lose points, a lot of players are deliberately using week teams to lose points, a lot of players are retreating to lose points. Could you check with the devs that this is the way they intended the game to played after this change?
8punch said: when i got my 10 CP i had a score of 974 points. so that means for me to get 10 cp in PVP mode i have to do almost double the matches and not even getting that level 4 card.i end up most of the time in top20 in pvp so getting to 1200 is basicly useless now for me, since i get no cp at 1200. so i just go for 10 cp from now on and wait till the developers change it back into something good again.
NotBAMF said: Just as a personal update to where I am at: In the Category-5 event, I am up to the 24 wins award, and I've yet to cross 550 points. So I've gotten well past the 10CP awards whereas under the points system, I wouldn't have even gotten the 10CP yet.So yeah, I still dig this. *shrug*
