    Just got shield fuc*ed. Threw up a shield. Score looks fine after shielding ..few seconds later...-40. Score says the same though, look at the score on the leader oars list and it lowered while shielded... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

    Edit: anybody have any idea if they reimburse fo dat ish? Don't wanna waste my time but I am "mothers dayin" so any sec I get to play is meaningful lol

    Same happened to me earlier today. It was only like 27 I think but still not a happy occurrence. I had been shielded for half a minute before the message popped up with 2 attacks, one was shielded and the other wasn't. Didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

    edit: didn't report it, but maybe I should? Haven't done that before so not even sure what to do.

    this happens a lot actually, it's really caused by server lag in notifying you of the attack. the attack really did take place when you were unshielded (in server time) but the alert took a while to get to you.

    Currently just 1009, I think if I can get through 3 quick ones I can get up to 1100 - i've got Beee queued up too and he's at like 1500+ so he'll be worth a lot.

    Oh nice. You gotta be quick tjough . its not too friendly out there. Especially through 3 matches. I played one match earlier and got hit twice. Luckily though it was only for like minus 10 because I won one of them

    Yeah I might have to shut it down after 2, we'll see how quick the first 2 go. I'd love to get to 1100 but I'm also nursing a small lead in my bracket, which may or may not hold.

    exactly what happened to me, twice now. There wasn't an attack, there is no retaliation I can do, I had almost 960, yet, once shielded, it changed to 944 about.

    Maybe so, but, no alert ever arrives. No signs of any attack at all.

    I can barely make it through one it seems. Literally, do the highest point one I can do, then reshield. Getting to be a damp expensive run, lol.

    Ya. Could be better for you to wait and see huh. Make sure you gotta unsheild before you take the chance
  • Even with patch/mags it takes minutes to grind down these 3k hp teams at times, was bad. Shielded and don't care anymore.
  • I am really starting to viscerally hate PVP. Every team is borderline identical, it's grindy and tedious, and I'm working twice as hard to get top 25 as I used to to get top 10.

    On the plus side, I've started playing on my 3DS again. And PVE is a lot more enjoyable than PVP, in part because I play it for 20 minutes every 12 hours.

    What an idiot.. I miss the end time of my shield.. Only 3 mns missed.. Bam.. -180 pts!!!!! And most that dont even worth to retal.. From 1250 to 1050.. This game is horrendous sometime..

    Same frickin thing happened to me! Sounds like a blood bath out there, I'm too scared to unshield and try to regain those points.

    I saw you earlier foxy and skipped you bc, well your foxy. You have to be persistent. #2 in our bracket literally fought for like 30 minutes to end up 20+ pts ahead as he would gain 40 and lose 50 over and over. Sometimes you have to shield up and let retals roll in and try another run later.
  • Sheesh. You guys are making me wonder if it is worth the effort to try to get back up into the top 50 on this one. If it's that bad, I'm going to get slaughtered. icon_e_sad.gificon_cry.gificon_neutral.gif

    What kind of bracket are you in this time around aaron?
  • Whew. This is a brutally fun race for the top 3 alliances. Now to wait a little for the 50 retails to roll off my Mirror Force....

    Managed to do the first 2 relatively quickly, but 3rd match came out to 3 attacks, 2 losses and a win, so I landed at 1078. Just got a defensive win up to 1093 (and 3 more shielded losses, so whew). Looks like I might be unshielding in the last 5 or 6 minutes to go for 1100.

    pasa - i see you in my bracket now - gonna go for the blue IW?
  • i'll probably do a few more and then spend 75 hero points to shield such so i can keep my score high im almost at 4000 points in total so i can aim for 5000 points for my hero ten pack. I never done shielding before how does it work?

    Awww, thanks for skipping me! You came up a few times in my nodes too, but I skipped more out of total fear than courtesy, lol.

    Yeah, I might try to regain a few points, especially now that the pre-3-hour-shielding feeding frenzy has (hopefully) calmed down a bit.

    Apparently another lazy one. #1 is 745

    I just pushed from #111 to #30 in about 30 minutes of play time.

    So I'm just going to watch and push to make sure I stay top 50. If I think I can pull it off closer to the end, top 25.

    On Topic: How are you doing? Are you in another bracket from hell?
