    I'm just about to switch device though, so maybe I'll be locked out in a few as well.

    About the same here...at least, it seems normal. Guess we'll find out....eventually....

    Come out of a shield, do one match, was hit by two. Retal one, come out of that match, was hit by 4. Retaled again on one match, came out, was hit 6 times. At least 3 of those looked to be by the same person.

    15 minutes after coming out of my shield, reshielded at a loss. Priceless.

    Cut off one Retal, 2 more take it's place!

    Qtquazar and I have a trademark on this practice sir. We call it shield dropping. However the ace of blades will gladly allow you to be an authorized user as long as you continue doing it as well as us icon_e_biggrin.gif

    oh wait...I had heard you guys had trademarked pants dropping! Doh! I didn't realize it was shield dropping. Lol. Please share your wisdom, jedi master!

    Seriously though, normally, I drop a shield, do a match, maybe two, the shield back up for retals. Tonight though, I had decided to stick it out a little loner due to all the issues earlier today, just to get a few more points. Didn't go so well obviously, lol.

    And expert-mode is to break shield and lose a couple of matches while getting hit - compound the point loss!

    Don't do it bowgentle! It's a trap! And not a useless one like daredevil's!

    Well, it worked.

    Went over 1100 for a second, got hit for 30, shielded.
    Took about a minute to show my shield on the leaderboard. No idea if any more hits will be incoming.

    I think I'm done, there's only so much random **** I am willing to put up with for Rags rewards and season scores.

    Almost no targets over 1000, let alone 1100. And died to Slobofix for the second time in two days. Sad.

    Sorry, I know I hit someone with a maxed Torch at least three times, but there really was almost no-one else. Well, except Polkio, but I didn't find him again.

    Edit:

    Nah, I'm done basically, unless I get pushed out of Top 10.

    I've started to attack specifically people with Spideys on my climb.
    Hitting them for 40 is just so satisfying and nobody retals for 10 points icon_e_biggrin.gif

    And hit away whenever you like, if I play at all it will be near the 8 hour mark.

    Fyi...If anyone sees me in a node, feel free. I'm shielded another 7 hours or so. Not a high point target I'm sure though..sitting over 800. My goal is 10 million, so, I'll have a lot of grinding to do tomorrow.

    at 857 points but only in 18th, and the events not even close to over yet really :s don't really want to waste HP on a 24 hour shield so gonna have to make another climb in 8 hours so I can just do an 8 hour shield.

    i fought up to about 850ish last night i think, went to bed with no shield. woke up to losing around 160 pts. and no events even listed in events page. so i can't even play a little this morning to start a new climb.

    all this on top of not getting my dakens for placing 4th in my bracket. what a messed up couple of days. come guys, fix your **** or give us a heads up. take the game down for a hour or 2 if needed. just get it running right.

    the events are there for me right now, strange that they aren't for you.
