I joined 8-MAY about 6 pm CET.

Yea, it was the most 'packed' bracket I've ever joined. I joined when I got home from work at about 5:00pm EST. So, it must have been a slow-filling bracket. I assumed everyone would be doing the Heroic event instead.


I broke 1000, then got smacked for -140 points in 2 minutes. Very disappointing and I had to shield after a few more wins. Doubt I'll push anymore even though I need one more green Rags (although 'need' is a subjective word).

so is needing 1000p for top 10 becoming the norm for PVP? or is that just because many people need patch for the heroic?

seems to be the new norm. i got close, just kept getting knocked back. seem to remember a time when 1k wasn't needed for top 5/10, etc.

dave, it was two weeks ago.

I was consistently getting top 5/top 10 with 700-800 points. Now? I can get in top 10 only if I'm lucky with the bracket.

lol... i remember. Season 1- me thinks that may be the culprit.

bracket of death, again. Well maybe this time around 1100+ will make it to top 10?.. lol
Joined about 4 hours ago. I was 450-ish something at the time of joining.

@.@ same bracket. Though Kidd should be up the ranks soon.

Well... at least locked got a picture. At least that way I can actually prove I was in the top 10 at one point, lol. There's still time, maybe I'll have to try some more, my goal is 10,288 points in Top Gun, so watch out. I'm even wearing my official Top Gun stunner shades to boot. Watch out.

I joined yesterday at around 3:30 central time. It must have filled really slow if you got a spot at 6 p.m. Who knows. Maybe since I have so many forumites I'll break 1000 for the first time. Here's to hoping I get lucky! Cause if your lucky enough to be Irish then your lucky enough

Bracket of death, you say?
Why, yes, nice of you to ask:



Plus, there's Davecazz and arrogant lurking behind top 10 as well.

And I hit Nazerith at least 3 times from 950 to 1100, so sorry for that if you're here... but you were the juiciest target available :S
Although the points didn't seem to go down, so maybe he was shielded?

I _did_ skips lots of people who were between 1075 and 1099 though so hopefully I didn't hit anyone who was actually just trying to get to 1100 like myself.

You found your personal Kyip

franckynight

Nazerith is #1 in my bracket, and yes they are shielded.

There is 5 hours difference between 5 pm EST and 6 pm CET, I can't belive that a bracket of 500 fills so slow. Also I'm only at 500 points with a 130+ team and getting hammered with attacks of 141 teams.

I wish they would stop tempering with MMR scoring and whatever mid season and mid events. This is frustrating as hell.

Really, there is too many motivated people in this tournament: for the last hours I only fought to earn back the points I lost.
As I am way too avaricious to spend hp on a shield right now I propose that
1. everybody stops attacking me
2. some of you put easy tank teams with lot of points
Thanks for your attention

Could be wrong about this, but didn't Retribution take one down recently?

You are right, I had forgotten about that.

Oh boy, top 10 in my bracket is already 900 points...

Try being a mostly maxed 2* team getting hit by the same peeps(level 141s), and for a 30+ point loss.

yeah, this PVE event being so jacked up is driving everyone to this event sadly... so much for trying to get top 10 for me

Spider-man 6234

Well add clintman and Hailmary to the aforementioned nemek polkio fruzby twysta and one 5DV. Could this bracket get any worse?!?!?!

Edit: and finwe (not sure of your ign)

tbighead21

Top 10 posts are becoming super difficult to reach lately. 700 points used to be enough to get a top 10 spot... now we need over 900 pts. I don't think it has to do with the rewards

I joined 8-MAY about 6 pm CET.

It filled super slowly, I watched for awhile since we were trying to get Polkio a different bracket, then decided to screw it, since we were looking at hours, likely. I probably joined at like 6 eastern.
