    Ok add nomistake and 000noob000 in my bracket too.. are we sure brackets are still time based? because I find this very hard to believe. Maybe this is why it doesn't list total players on the PVP brackets anymore... ::conspiracy hat:: Anyone tried to enter with a main account and some secondary noob account? or maybe two alliance members join at the same time?


    I know right? Lol. If beezer is here, what time did you join your bracket? Of course, ALL my matches are worth 40+... So we are talking 25 matches or so to reach 1k. That's what...maybe an hour or two tops of playing?

    Side note: did you COUNT the number of members with scores? Because I noteiced that now it only gives you the -- to indicate they haven't joined if its your own alliance now. Instead, it just doesn't have them show up. So, for example, earlier today there were only 11-12 members of shield according go the bracket info.

    yep. always count. I am pretty sure i joined the exact same time as you because I saw you slightly above me when I only had around 40 points. Would be interesting to see when beezer or anyone else in the bracket joined as it seems crazy that it took this long to fill up to 500 people. I joined and there were 2 guys already up at 950 points.

    God, got a death bracket for the first time in a long time. I came in with 42 points for my first match and was in 430th place. I see (so far) beezer from shield, a 5DV with max level falcon, soenottelling (my rival from my season bracket) and a ton of other names from top alliances. This is going to suck! Why did you guys slack off so much and join late! icon_e_sad.gif I even looked on the leader boards to make sure shield had all members entered but it seems these brackets are super slow filling... So much for my extra 1st place iso. icon_mad.gif

    EDIT: DAMMIT SOE! lol

    You know what happened? I joined at 160th at about 12:30 local time - I parked myself at 0 so that I could warn my alliance members from joining the bracket - it took about 4 hours (!) to reach 500 - and in the meantime 2 of my alliance mates joined anyway because they didn't pay attention to chat - so basically in that length of time all the hardcore peeps ended up in the same bracket.

    edit: so annoying that you are all in the same bracket. I'll just be trying to maintain my season score average so good luck guys.

    Yea, I am just sorta meandering upwards towards end goal of maybe...700? 900? I don't know. Then I won't shield prob and pick up wherever I left off tomorrow. Not even going to bother for first, just hit the 1.3 for the iw. If I get another red xforce for my 2nd build...yay..but its not worth fighting over.

    I managed to make it up to 999 in mine, actually, I little lower but got a defensive win while shielded.

    Started off tonight with 3 nodes, all worth +35 or so. Then those fell into 27 range, then 24, then 20...until after reaching around 500, nodes were in the teens no matter how much I skipped. Finally got past that after around 600.

    So...I'm shielded. If you see me, feel free. And if you feel like being nice, retreat and push me over 1k! Lol

    Magickdonut is first, beezer second, Kensterr currently third. I'm sitting in 4th right now at least. Just ran into the 141 wall again, and could skip around them anymore.

    guess we're in that same bracket then. Yeah...lot of heavies in it, lol...rather, lot of forumers. Beginning to wonder if D3P is doing that on purpose now..meaning, sticking so many forum people into the same brackets, etc.

    Looks like a fun bracket! I keep forgetting your ign is different.

    alright, going to bed at 901 unshielded. maybe it's just me still in shock from this bracket but hoping for maybe some defensive wins with my 80 falcon(max covered)/ max patch and mags. Get some good cascades in there and you never know. It is the AI though... icon_e_confused.gif

    lol...no kidding. Seems like everyone's in it. Be lucky to make top 10, hell, top 20 possibly. Just had to stop for now. At least now over 8,340 in season 1 finally. Less than 2k until the big 50hp reward, lol

    Sorry guys I completely glossed over the last page of this thread somehow. I want to say I joined around 11pm pacific. Maybe say 11:30 just to be safe.

    I noticed immediately that we had someone shielded up at 900 when I first checked the leader board and figured it was a slow filling bracket.

    I was about 2 hours late from my usual start time for this tourney. For the first two PVPs of the week I'm usually the last agent of S.H.I.E.L.D to join.

    So we got 2 brackets crammed full of forumites in the same event, by chance? icon_eek.gif

    Can any of the other guys in my bracket (apparently Spider-man 6234, Nemek, Polkio, Toxicadam, Twysta ) post their join times ?

    I joined 8-MAY about 6 pm CET.

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

    crazy right? I seriously meant what i posted a few posts back... I'm thinking that it's possible they are putting forum people into the same bracket or something. I mean, what are the actual odds all of us would wind up in the same brackets like this considering there are so many players? Of course, I could be wrong... but you gotta wonder.

    I joined about 11:30pm est last night, May 8th.

    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.

    lol. welcome to the forum party in MPQ. There is beer on the table to the left, chips in a bowl next to it, and the big screen is over on the wall to the right.

    It took more shield-hopping than I would like, but I got to 1100 and my final Ragnarok cover. I'll be staying shielded the rest of the tournament so anyone in my bracket is welcome to overtake me without worry about trying to reclaim my position.

    dave, it was two weeks ago. icon_cry.gif

    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.
