I think, if D3P actually wants brackets like this, may they should break up the rewards bit. Like, both covers good for top 20, then 20-35 one reward, 35-50 the other. Something like that.

There are literally so many of us bottlenecked in the 20 it's redunkulous. Hell, I'm just happy to still be in the top 20 right now with so many heavy hitters around me, lol.

I'm still holding on to my #1 spot. But people are creeping up the list.

Another player was shielded earlier when he moved up to #4, now he is back down to #9.
What's weird is that I read on here all the time about everyone shielding, and other posters are showing the entire top 10 as shielded, and there is only 2 shielded in my bracket. Me and #9.

you are definitely in a completely different type of bracket than most of us. Only thing I can think of is its gotta be MMR related, at least for you.

I am thinking so too. The only things that sways me from thinking that, is that there are some teams on my match up that have characters at 5000-6000 health. That's more than double any of my characters. My highest health character is Daken at 2710.

what are their levels? I mean, 85, 141, etc?

Kill it! Kill it with fire! Lol. Yea, I generally don't try to screw ppl over if I don't have to. As I've said, I am only aiming for (well..original goal was 25..now its top 5) for the season...and I don't really care about the rewards in this (or most) events.. Pushed to my 1.3k and I am likely done. Not worth 75 hp to shield hop for a 2nd build of a useless 4****...

If there is an event with fury though....everyone better prepare for a fatality.

lso, its coincidence sauce is in my event bracket...normally no way to tell if ppl r shielded or not. Also, I think he got hit by so.el.e else as he lost 30 points from where his name came up at that time.

Congrats on claiming the top spot....you should get a screen grab of that, lol

Yeah, this is completely pointless. No one's worth more than 20 points so everytime I hit 850 I get knocked back down to 800 from retaliations. If this is the new bracketing system then I'm not going to bother with PvP. No point in playing for **s I already have and 500 ISO; I'm just getting mad at the futility.

The ones I have in queue at the moment, in case I need to break my shield and fight back up, are all 85 with exception to one 128 (between 3000-5500). But I spent almost 200 iso skipping to line them up. I finally settled on them, because I didn't figure it was gonna get any better than that and just resigned myself to the idea that I'm going to have to use boost to stay #1 if need be.

... I've just been shoveling hp into shields today trying to finish up my 4 stars. i'm not really sure it's worth it at this point, but i'm already invested

Sauce's season score is really close to mine and yeah I'm aiming for top 5 too. Nevertheless, fun to see how far I can go. That one additional 10pack not worth burning so much Shields (read: HP) for.

I am convinced that bracket joining was changed in some way.

In that bracket of doom also. Ran it up to 1000 and shielded for the season points. Thankfull I don't need Patch covers.

I, too, am in this demonic bracket. #10 is now at 1112, and 1004 is only good for #19. Holy cats.

I did a late run up this bracket. 50th was at 800 points with 3-4 hours to go. Curious where the top 50 cutoff ends up.

up to you, but unless you see someone within a one match striking distance, be ready to break/match/shield as quick as possible.

example, couple of hours ago, my shield ended, I went into a match, took approx 7-8 minutes, came out to a loss from an attack, but was up 20 points approximately from my last position. So, you start to show up in nodes pretty quickly when not shielded.

I may actually be ok.... ~~knocks on wood~~

In case I popped up in anyone's nodes, I'm reshielded so fire away.

I got REALLY lucky just now. Boosted through 4 matches (I know, even 3 is kind of stretching it, but punisher makes them go fast) to put myself at 1106 then come out and obviously have been hit, but amazingly won one for 26 and lost only 32 so got the Rags reward at exactly 1100. Good for a cool 13th place (at the moment, who knows where it'll be at end).

Pretty funny (well, in that not really funny way) that I won the Punisher PvP with 1111 and now can't even top 10 this one with 1100.

ahhh...I had just dropped to 20th, so you must be part of the reason, lol. Congrats on getting to 1,100!

How many event points do u have? It might not be mmr but event points creating the brackets..possibly. like there are multiple tiers of scoring at a time and you are put into the most recent not yet filled bracket within your tier based on season scores. Afterall, these are SEASON tournements.

Otherwise we have to join at the same time from now on. Actually, have you joined the rag tournement yet? We could time our joining...for science...and see if we are put into the same bracket.

@aaron...that is close....wow. can't believe your bracket.

Thanks! The 1100 cover at least compensates a little bit for losing out on the patch cover (although obviously patch > rags). I guess I could potentially boost through a few more right at the end and try to climb into top 10, but I think I'm just done with this event already.

Not a bad idea actually.

Edit: I hadn't thought about event points. I currently have 8,384 in Season 1. Could be related I guess.

I only have 6491 but I've been tanking Shield Simulator. That's just from 2 day events.

So I'm not sure that is the connection since there's a pretty big gap between me and you guys.

I've only got 6721 and made it into bracket of doom, alliance mate made it in too and he's at 7280. Not saying it's not possible but I have a lot fewer points than you. But apparently similar to T-Rez

welcome. Considering how crazy the bracket is, it's no small accomplishment. I'd like top 10, but not so much I'd want to lose my lunch money trying right now. Getting a red patch is fine with me, unless I drop 30 places between now and the end. I have a retal ready if needed, most nodes are all 141's, etc though now and not worth much at all it seems.
