Given this looks like the last event of the season it might be a bloodbath. Good luck everyone.

Are the dates correct? Thanks for creating the thread.
This will be a bloodbath alright.
Is anyone - anyone - running a 3-5-5 Psylocke btw? Still barely seeing her in PvP but she's there sometimes.
Alas I would again need to sweat for a top 10 if I want that 5th red. And 5-3-5 is the most agreed on build.

Unknown

Ragnarok again? Blergh.

But at least this is Psylocke and it's European ending time. Finally! I don't have her yet... and this one will be a bitter fight.

Unknown

Currently have a 115 3.3.5 Psylocke so not exactly happy the red is the hardest to get when we get nudged into the death brackets 100% of the time. Sold at least 4 black psylocke covers already randomly, one of my more common pulls. Not willing to burn hp on shields like I did to get the last Thor cover. In theory if Psylocke is next PvP can again in theory get the red at 1100.

Do not enjoy the rags events.

After this tourney we can make a trade - I'll give You 1 Red, You'll give me 1 Black. My Psy is 533, so she'll be more than happy.

Deal?

btw got to 300 and put on tank team (loaner, MStorm50, Bullseye15) - hit it!

Bowgentle

My Psyduck has been fully covered for months, so this _would_ be a tank tournament.
Thanks for extending the season, D3!

On the other hand, I've ended up with 5/3/2 and suspect I won't be getting any blacks. They must plan it to drive us the most nuts somehow ^.~

Rags again! It is, what, the third or fourth time during this season? Could they not have proposed something else?

And I'll put my hand up for any loose black covers after that! My 3/3/- Psyduck would be most grateful

Sidenote: I played two matches earlier just to jump into a bracket - first guy retaliated almost immediately and lost. I'll take 120 points from two matches anytime

Unknown

I only have 1 Blue cover for Psylocke so far. Haven't been able to get any more. So I wouldn't mind getting another 1 or 2 covers for her from this Event. Thinking I'll just end up going with OBW and Wolvie/Ares/Whatever for this one. Still getting the hang of it.

Going to wait a day or a day and a half or something, then get into it. See if I might get lucky and get into a slightly easier bracket than the one I was in for the Lazy Daken event.

Sounds fine to me, trading would make this bracket **** not that big a big deal anymore. I like Psylocke a lot, one of my most used chars in PvE but as shes not tier 1 not usable outside of buffed PvP.

Yeah, I think she's great. I love cheap spammable abilities.

Actually, if she'll be the featured hero in the next PvP, I might consider staying 3 days longer.

My run of no 3*s from tokens has finally broken! And of course it's Spidey now he's being nerfed

JK - it's finally nice to have more than one Spidey cover. I've been sitting on one yellow since mid-January.

My MMR must be weird: I've been seeing some unusual combinations in my nodes so far. There's been the usual OBW+Tank teams in spades but I've also seen a few MN Mags + MN Thor, CStorm + Daredevil(?), MN Mags + AWolvie and sitting in my queue right now I have OBW + X-Force*. Most of them are less than L85 and those that are actually maxed have sub-optimal cover combinations (MN Mags with 5 blues more than once).

*The last one's only worth 19 but I'm tempted to hit it anyway just for the sake of taking out one X-Force in the season

franckynight

it seems their last stealth update have reverted back mmr where it once was.. 85 teams nodes from the start and no 141 to be seen as i reach the 300 pts treshold.. it feels good to play that way.. for a change, d3 have listened to us.. im gonna postpone my break finally..

Unknown

At least i need those psy covers so i won't complain.
And I have a solid team for this tourney as well.

Nah, I think our MMR lowered due to this crapload of attacks we got in Daken tourney.

I thought MMR doesn't matter anymore? Just how many days that you're in the game matters in terms of matchmaking?

Maybe... ain't all this a speculation only? I'm totally confused...

Well, something has definitely changed. I'm suddenly seeing those tasty 35-40 points targets everyone keeps talking about, whereas before I only saw people worth 20, 25, 28 points tops, even right after joining. I have the impression my last bracket in the Daken PvP was a bit easier too, although not having the ranking summary I'm not 100% sure. I did get fewer retaliation and attacks, although that might have been because of leaving Ares and Thor on defense overnight. Let's see how this one pans out.

franckynight

Well.. we're in the dark about changes made (i'm sure there was an update on friday or saturday) .. anyway it seems to be in the good direction and as a result, a more balance progression in pvp like 1-2 weeks ago... is it permanent? i don't know.. But i'd rather have pvp how it construct now than all the **** load we've been through the 3 last one..
