    Went back and read the last few pages of the thread. I seriously doubt D3 will act quickly enough to restore anyone's lost points, but they ABSOLUTELY should refund a good number of people's HP spent on shields which ended up not really doing anything since they couldn't get into the game to win a few matches and re-shield. Sadly the HP is not worth the hour+ of your time it will take to climb back up to where you were before, but it's the least they should do.

    btw sorry if I hit You in the last hour - I recognised some nicknames from forums. But I'm pretty sure I'm now worth double for You, as all the fights were around 20pts for me.

    EDIT: confirmed - scottee, whom I hit for 20, just retaliated for 41.

    @morgh - sorry I hit you, I usually try to avoid forumites, but I was just going for 2 quick ones before shielding again and you were the highest points I could find. I am re-shielded, so whack me back if I'm worth anything to you icon_e_smile.gif.
    No worries at all - I was shielded and I would not be upset even if I weren't - I consider everything over 1100 to be just extravagance icon_e_wink.gif

    And besides - that's the rules of the game - if you can avoid forumites and still get reasonable points, reasonably fast - great, if not - oh well... c'est la vie

    I'd be quite pissed if I were either of you. I cannot be upset in this event as I put up a 24 hr shield that will run through the end of the event...but, I did that with the thought of playng this afternoon. Now there seems to be no chance in hell of that occurring.

    Yeah, I was working a night shift this week. I drove to 900 points by 7am EST today, and facing an hour drive, two flights, and another hour drive, I threw up a 24-hour shield. I'd get home by 6pm EST, but I felt like I'd have to spend just as much HP to do an 8- & 3-hour shield, and then I could actually have a quality Friday evening with my wife. Plus, hey, there's only two days left in the season, I can afford to splurge...

    So, unintentionally came out as smartest move alive. I benefit from the handful of failed retals, and I just don't have to deal with zombie hordes.

    Suace hit away my friend, my phone keeps cutting out so I won't be having matches for now.

    I suspect that explains the 25 points you just gifted me. Rough tourney for you & its brutal now with everyone making a late climb. I unshielded for one match, max 3 minutes and 5 hits within one minute after (fortunately with shield up). Think I caught Reckless unshielded too

    D3 at least need to refund all the HP wasted and work out how to keep a level playing field for seasons

    Yeah I am a little scared to push up any more, I am only about 20 points above second place right now though. I think I will try 3 quick boosted matches and just throw up an 8 hour and hope for the best.

    Eh, can't be bothered with this anymore. Rags is just not worth the time clawing my way up to 900. Stopping at #21 with 737. Not shielding, since it would be a net loss, even in top 50. Let's see how far I'll drop over night.

    Also, why is it that stronger teams than I do see me and can use me for an easy climb, but I never see weaker teams that I could use for the same? No, don't answer that, that was rhetorical.

    Was just telling bee.... In my bracket, when all the server issues started, the leader was at 930, I was 835. After not being able to log in most of the day, I still have 835, now in 16th..and top 5 all over 1k, #1 over 1,100.

    Nice that some people could keep grinding away, attacking people that couldn't get in at all...and got their climb out of the way before the servers are working better.

    And I'm spent.

    I got my 900 progression reward and, after some yo-yoing, I ended up at 830 with an 8-hour shield.


    I don't need a top 10 finish, just a top 50 one to ensure a red Rags cover, so I think I'm good.

    Joined my bracket this morning and just started pushing now. Maxed 2*s right off the bat. Top 10 is at 900.

    PvP got so much fun lately.

    I pushed to 910 and shielded up rest of tourney. Right now in my bracket that's 3rd. See how long that place lasts.

    Finally got in 2 hours ago and joined an already formed bracket with the leader over 1k...ok thats fair... Managed to get up to 1k from zero somehow not getting ruined by the cascades that always happen. Shielded at 1001 because I was playing at work then waiting for the bus, then on the bus and playing on the bus does not mix well for my head. Got attacked for -46 after I shielded...

    Well if thats the worst thing that happened to me in this game today whatever. Got my proper personal and alliance heroic awards, back in 12th in season 1, shoulda been 11th but that attack, meh. Might hit 2 guys in the last 4 minutes to regain those points. If not so be it. Off to Friday Night Magic.

    Finally getting back into this to see if I can get myself up to a Ragnarok level. RIght now, I'm ranked 100th with 541 points. Bottom of the Top 10 is 800 points. Anyone have any tips to try to get that high in it?

    well im40 red blast is powerful as...welll you know what. 4700 damage yikes, wiping my team out left and right, right now with his 10,000 HP.
    im top 50 gotta let these health packs regen a little while longer before i can make another push or two till the end. oh and the daken tourny already started at 141 teams again despite my only one level 141, game been slow paced for me lately that way, to many high lvled teams, but im refusing to buy there health packs they so obviously want me to buy.....

    Skip any match worth less than 25? Try to win quickly and use healthpacks when needed instead of longer matches with OBW healing? You want to be faster than the guy(s) who are beating you ideally. You should be able to get there with 2 maxed 2* (usually 2 of Wolvie, Ares, Thor, OBW - or alternatively C.Storm/MnMags team).

    i suicided my roster a few times. that got rid of the double 141s. i still have 3/2 star teams, but nothing above 110 right now. i'll suicide a couple more times before making my initial climb

    i bet while im recharging my tablet im getting attacked

    Was going to try to hit 600 but I dont think I need to anymore. I got my 3 standard tokens from the Oscorp Heroic and WITH LUCK, pulled my final Ares Yellow cover from it. Now i need to grab one more green and 3 more reds to finish him.

    So i'll probably get the points I lost back once my tabby is fully charged or close to it.

    Okay. So far I've just been using MStorm and OBW, but they do tend to be a bit slow. My OBW and Thor are maxed... Maybe I should try using the two of them? And I'm working on getting my Ares to a higher level. I'm try that. Thanks.

    I was testing Ares instead of Thor, you know, taking advantage of my really deep 2* roster and it's being pretty great so far.

    Getting into the 800s barely being attacked feels weird, actually. I had no expectations whatsoever, went to dinner, went back and my points were still there.

    And on the rare occasion that the other team has no green coverage (MNMags) or squisy green coverage (CStorm), it just feels like Christmas.
