    Do you think they put us in brackets based on our MMR instead of start time? I mean, based on the opponents I am seeing now, I would say no. But it is also my understanding (someone please correct me if I am wrong) that the opponents are from all brackets, not just the one you are in.

    Honestly, I'd say no because I can't think of any good reason why they would want to group people by MMR -- I just don't see what it gains D3 except unhappy players. That's a big difference in points, though. I don't remember hearing about brackets being that spread apart in previous events.

    That's what made me mention it too earlier. There is one person in our alliance that is leading their bracket with 680 points, another in second with 750 or so. It's all over the place, but yet, we all get tossed into brackets from hell and scores are going completely bonkers.

    I just went into 1st by default when the leader in my bracket apparently lost points to an attack. He's now behind me by about 10 points.

    I'm thinking I am too. Unless I lose my 1st place and feel I can reasonably regain it with out being slaughtered. I really want the 4* Wolvie cover to level him up. But as I do not have Patch at all, I am not going to risk losing 2 covers of him.

    Ahhh yes....you are in my most favoritest ever Bracket of Death with a lot of us, lol. I'm Stuck in 14th with my measly 1024.

    Wow, count another forumite stuck in that bracket too. I'm just shooting for top 50 for a Patch for the Heroic Oscorp, but even that looks out of reach. D:

    This is usually what it looks like in my brackets. If not a little higher. Which is why I usually push to 300 for the Gold Cover and then just walk away. But I needed ISO to level up my Cap last night so I just kept playing and ended up in #1. It was a the first time I have ever been in the #1 spot on anything. So I decided to go for another 1st and try shielding. Since last night, I have been moved to 2nd, then 3rd, back to 2nd, and now back in the #1 spot.

    Just out of curiosity, how many points does the guy in top 50 have?

    Also, do you guys think I would get beat up bad if unshielded right now. I'm running max pun/max c.mags/lvl 102 falcon (buffed to 170 something).

    You know, when I entered our "bracket of doom" I was a little surprised to see that the leaders were already at 800+ points. Maybe I just entered at the tail end of the bracket, but I had never seen top scores quite that high before after first joining. I suppose there could be something different than just next 500, then new bracket, etc.

    My bracket's almost as bad:

    Look here

    I think this is a new record for me, points-wise, and yet I'm still going to consider myself lucky to keep a top 50 position. I've been in brackets where I made top 3 with ~850 points, sheesh.

    Couldn't tell you; I took a break at about #80 when I was at about 720. Just checked, I'm now down to #102 at 663.
    So yeah, scores that would normally get me a top 5 finish wouldn't even hit top 100 tonight. lol

    I just had an epic fail...

    I lost 110 points overnight which dropped me from about 25 all the way down to 105 and then just got flat out cascade murdered by Thor three times in a row so I'm now 150th with no health packs, most of my (useful) roster dead and less than 3 hours to go.

    I can accept getting nuked occasionally but I just watched him flatten an almost pristine L45 Falcon/L85 OBW/L102 Punisher in one turn - multiple cascades on yellow and green including criticals followed up by every single skill. He was still going after everyone was down for at least 1500 more damage icon_cry.gif

    Can we get another funbalance on Thor so we can get some variety going?

    3 boosted matches, then reshield. That's about all u get if u can complete the matches quickly. About 6-10 minutes before you see 2-10 attacks. I almost beever do 4..and any time I do..I usually see the shoe end of a -42

    Just stay shielded during the last 30 minutes or so; I've got you and a few other juicy retals lined up but I do not want to actually take points from anyone.

    That's insane. It's only happened to me a few time, thank goodness. Because I might throw my phone across the room it happened too often. LOL.

    Also, I could be such a dbag and attack sauce as I have him qued and he is unshielded (and in my season bracket)...but I am going to wait until he shields...FRIEEENNNFDSHIIIP MOOOVE. *Creates little ice statue*

    Is all this competition due to patch, or is this the new state of PVP? Last tournament was pretty bonkers, and this one is even more so. I shielded at #30 with 722 points and have dropped to #75. I really don't feel I can crack the top 50 with a 2* team, which is pathetic. I just hope this is an extraordinary event. If it's really going to take 3* characters to place high enough to get 3* covers... no thanks.
