It really depends on your bracket. Have you less than 10k? These brackets probably have some days played-dependent sharding, too, and don't forget that kyip-like incident when points exploded, I with my 10k points am at #66 currently. Have yet to play Cage Match for real, but I already have some 1,8k points in the training.

I have 10,773 in Season 2. Currently at #20, with #25 at 10,648--a difference of 125 points.

I already have 1,000 points in Cage Match and will almost certainly add no more than another 100 points.

Which brings me back to my original question--how bloody was the last day of Season 1 SHIELD Training? I barely got attacked at all in the first 29 days but if the last day is when everyone comes out of the woodwork then I'm going to need to spend 300 HP to protect my score.

You're in my season bracket, so... no, the last day was harmless. No need to spend any HP to protect your score

I'd shield up once you hit your target in training.

I had to read your post 3 times before I noticed the . I see what you did there.

Lack of playing this week isn't good for me

The season rewards are so worthless. The only one that really matters is top 100 for alliance for a Fury cover, and mine has no shot at that, so who really cares then? Seriously, the difference between 100-250 and 50-100 is one heroic token? After a month of playing? After hitting 5000 and getting the 10 pack that give me maybe one useful 3 star cover, which I did forever ago, I have nothing to play for. Busting my **** playing his game for hours per day for what? Going to be over 10,000 for the season and get nothing for it basically but some ISO. I haven't gotten a gold cover in weeks. I can't use hp to improve my heroes, since you have to spend them to shield to ever get top 10 or 50 in PvE, or else you'll just get decimated the last few hours no matter how much you play/win. My brackets have gotten rediculous in difficulty he last couple weeks. My best character is a level 128 punisher, and all I face now are super jacked up special heroes and double 141s. My Patch was a 23 and the weakest one I went against in that event was at least 170. I can't even compete anymore and don't really care to at this point. Even when things we're going more fair I could spend 2 hours per day playing and it wouldn't be enough. I was probably doing more like 2-4 per day to compete. That's a rediculous amount of time to spend on this game. I recently rediscovered that I have a life with job, friends, and even other real video games that are way more fun that I'd rather be doing and don't feel like an obligation or 2nd job. After season 2 is over I think I'm out. Going to have to quit the alliance I started and spend tons of hp on.

Sorry for the long post...I guess this basically just my rant now. It probably my last post ever though so whatever. Something for d3 and MPQ to remember me by. I needed to vent somewhere and no one in my real life would want to hear this or have any idea what I was talking about (they'd think I was tinykitty crazy for the time and money I spent on this game). It was kinda fun, but I also now feel like just wasted the last five months of my life. I have to stop the insanity though.

Oh, and having to replay the exact same PvE stories and exact same PvP events over and over to win lazy 3 star versions of already existing characters isn't really inspiring me to play a ton and put in all this work. Maybe if d3 seemed to work hard then it might be more willing. Hey, at least the finally responded to my support request after three weeks with their standard "we don't give a tinykitty and won't help you, we just like to take your money". Thanks d3. You win.

Peace out everyone. Have fun with the game

Fury is the only thing I am aiming for heroics are pointless you can grind 40 matches and get as many bag men and 2* friends. LRS during a season will also generate you more 3*s covers. So chasing top spot really is about bragging rights and wasted hp.

Unknown

Twysta, i thought you were been nice and retreating to me, but then you attacked again so i realized something must have gone wrong in your first match But of course i had to retaliate, and that was the hardest match i ever did in pvp. I got extremely lucky near the end after your Thor had downed both my Hulk and Patch but not before i got a few anger tiles to get rid of Hood and then OBW. It was between Cap and Thor at the end and i got lucky with a cascade that gave me 22 red to finish you off. PHEW!!!!

I haven't been trying too hard on the shield training, and may not even shield at the end, but I'm not sure.

But... last night after just doing some casual matches, I figured I'd close out with what looked like an interesting team to play against, and since it was time for sleep, if I lost, I'd heal over night. So I took my 141 Patch, 141 Lazyshield, 85 OBW up against 95 LThor, 89 Hood (5 blue), 85 OBW.
It wasn't even close. I was absolutely slaughtered. It started out innocently enough too "I'll just aim for one color, target down Hood". Bugger kept stealing whatever I was working on (often with exactly 9 left on the board), then when he was almost dead? OBW heal. OBW steal.
Icing on the cake was it got to enough yellow after not using Thunder Strike, to use Twin Pistols. Which happened to shoot enough green to CotS me. I laughed about it at least. But I'm guessing whomever that was won like 5 matches actively, then wound up 1000 points higher on defensive wins.

Actually I was being nice, but then I got bored and decided to push, I skipped you a few times but eventually you were the only one who was any points or I'd have to pay ISO for another skip so I'm afraid I had to fight you. You came up in my queue so many times though >.<
Get out!

Wow did I ever get pwned by Lazy Cap

Got him down to 230 HP and by the time all my guys were down (Psyduck, OBW & Punisher) he'd lost a whole 15 more...

Unknown

I have no passion for top place anymore, the sims wastes too much time.
Dark Silence, Jozier, Darthmental you can have it
I just need top 5, I hope 1000 pts in sims could kill it.

The funny thing about this is that yesterday evening I was looking at krow, Bubbleboy, and wyp in the top ten of my Season 2 and thinking "I'm only about 2000-3000 points behind these guys and I haven't hit Shield Sim at all yet, I guess people really are taking it easy for Season 2!"

Unknown

lol yea took it super easy this season. It was about leveling my rooster more then taking bragging rights.

HairyDave

It's getting hectic down the bottom of the top 100 alliances again - just in the last 24 hours we've been down at 120 (thanks to a sudden departure), back up to 84, and now we're 90th.

I'd be very surprised if there's more than 2000 points separating 80th and 100th. 86-95 are covered by less than 800

Glad to get an update on your **** from time to time

Erm, yeah, season 2. Crept into top 10 now due to starting shield training. Not sure how much I can be bothered, I'm almost falling asleep mowing through all these cute 2* teams for 45 a pop.
Finding out how nasty Ares/OBW can be though, that pair is bloody good for 2*s.

With Season 3 which should be starting tonight, can we get some sort of reward for those alliances that are not super great (i.e. not in the top 100)? Or at least allow for a way to kick people from the alliance?

And yes, there will be a third season - the nick fury third power has to be given out still.

Of course we'll launch straight into season 3, just as we did with season 2.

As for kicking people - you can. If you're talking about kicking commanders, email customer support, they will do it for you.
