  • man i wish they would fix this f'd up matchmaking in pvp. i was just at 820 and got hit for 45 from a level 200 pointer and a retaliation of 2. **** like that just makes me want to stop playing. shouldnt even be showing up to people like that. if this game has so many players i dont get why we keep seeing the same names and such range of scores are allowed to hit one another
  • I hope I got into a mystical easier bracket, the last 5-6 were awful. First is 809 with most of the top 10 shielded. I need to break into top 10 tomorrow for that Psy red.

    Me too.

    I'm sitting in 20th on 700 something at the moment and my top 10 are only about 100 ahead (1st is shielded on over a thousand) so it shouldn't be super difficult as long as I don't get smashed shield-hopping.

    Completely agree. I mean, I right now, lycra, morgh, and I have been in the top three for at least the last few hours. Not much movement below us either yet. May have just been due to the pve sub ending, etc though
  • If it comes down to it the final pushes will probably be in the simulator due to higher ev on points even though the rewards are far inferior to a guaranteed psylocke red so here's hoping. I would be rather pleased with a red but if I can snag first...its been weeks. I used to take first in at least 2 pvp's a week now its like once a month ifthat...stupid nudging, I refuse to burn hp for perceived value. Yes a 4* cover is worth xhp, doesn't mean you buy it for hp, so that rationale is ludicrous.

    Agreed. Let's hope these don't become brackets of doom again....

    or, in this pvp's case...Brakadoom II

    I think the risk of getting bashed out of the top ten will keep people from trying to make up season points in Krakadoom. The simulator will be insane.

    oh yeah..I'm sure. Not looking forward to that mess.

    fyi...saw bowgentle snuck past you in out s1 bracket... lol. I know you were dreading that
  • Wow. This game is going out of its way to make sure I lose the game I'm playing now. Enemy is getting everything it needs to make sure I lose. Fantastic. That's really great motivation to want to keep playing and try to get a high rank. At least high enough that I'll be attacked a half dozen times and lose a lot of my points.

    Came out of shield, did one match, came out to -37. My retal. 12. Priceless. Again.

    EDIT: I had actually timed this one, just forgot to mention. Between shields, less than 4 minutes time. But I got hit that one time during the match, came out and shielded at a loss. From the time I've shielded, I've been hit 4 other times. Not of of them the retal of who I hit.

    So, we definitely come up fast, like, blazing fast after coming out of a shield now.
  • Looking through all of the possible matches I'm getting, they're all right around the same point total I have. Seems like it's just so I'll fight a bunch of them, get my points up, and give them a high valued retaliation. Rad. Doubting I'll be able to get any Psylocke covers in this event.
  • I'm shielded out at 1114 for the next 8 hours. Hit away.

    Oh, and if anyone sees Polroid on the way up, please pound him/her for me. Stopped me on the cusp of 1100 ~5 times. If you're on the forums, know that I'm hunting for your name in game from now on unless you let me know why you couldn't wait for me to cross after the first couple times, especially when you couldn't hold 900.

    Kudos to Reckless and Slobofix for at least offering some decent points. Feel free to retal on me if I'm still queued.

    I'm clearly not allowed to breach 700 - I get over it and get belted back down below 600 almost immediately. It's hell out there in the trenches.

    Oh wow...geez. will keep my eyes open. I was wondering how he popped ahead of me so far in my S1 bracket so fast.

    yeah...I guess I must be a pretty "juicy" node or something, geez. Just got up to 1035 and threw on an 8hr shield. Since then, 2 attacks came in. One, from someone with 602 points...they got 46. The other from someone with 335 points..they got 49.

    Thank god for the shield.

    I'll have it up until that last hour or so, if anyone else wants a piece, lol

    Things definitely got a lot more intense in the last 24 hours.

    I was expecting to make one last single push, but Rag + LT + Hulk is a lot of hit points to burn through. Sitting on 898 right now, reshielded at the moment.
    Still using Rag + Panther + oBW team, because it's actually pretty fun. I may swap Panther out for Punisher when I make my final push, just for that extra bit of speed. I don't think I'll bother for 1100 this time; I'll aim for 1000 and hope that's enough to keep top 10.

    I think I have Polroid in my queue at the moment. I'll line him up for a shot when I unshield.

    it definitely has....wasn't that many hits at all earlier, then in the last hour or so, it picked up a lot.

    And how about that QT?...check out that service, lol...already got people queuing up your new sworn enemy.

    Yup, I get hit by those in their 500s and 600s but lucky I was shielded. Either retal or somehow I got into their nodes. Shielded til the end of KKD, so hit away. Gonna enjoy a MPQ-free night by watching X-men DOFP in the cinema. Woohoo! No nerfs on Wolvie and Magneto!
  • 40 minutes fighting, about 15 wins, no offensive losses. Net gain = 20pts (to 819 pts).

    Actually, make that 21 points because I just defended an attack worth a whole 1pt.

    ONE POINT.
