    Managed 26th, so I at least have an LD cover so I can hit the pve essentials and improve my score.

    Had someone come from outside of top 10 in the last ~30 minutes. They ended up passing me for #1, but I had already queued up some targets. One fight was enough to put me back in front at the buzzer, which I am glad for, since my 2nd match apparently ended too late.

    I tried to warn you. My brackets 8-11... 1004 1004 1002 1001 icon_eek.gif

    In the same bracket...I had to do a triple shield to be safe in the end. I was at 1005 and just couldn't take the pressure of the rest of the top 10 being one fight away from jumping me, so had to break earlier. Definitely think it was worth it...


    yeah u guys were going at it for top 10, i was looking from just outside at 18th, lol

    5DV pretty much came to the same conclusion as reckless did. Flexing our MPQ muscles is nice and all, but the number of shields we used to do it was pretty insane. Performance for this PvP was just what people decided they wanted to do plus some fill ins for people quitting and moving on.

    As for how 5DV acquired Jonny1punch, well what did you think the HYDRA mind control device was for?

    Renaldoo, who had no red X-Force cover, sat at 1075 for much of the day, while I was at 1110 with a 24-hr shield from yesterday. He waited until about 7 minutes to go, broke shield, managed to get to 1102, and ran out of time. The joke is that I had no intention of fighting for first. If he had just asked if I would push, he could have hopped me an hour ago. Not that I don't mind the extra 1000 ISO. . . .

    So 1110 won the bracket. The top 5 were over 1000. Tenth was at 924.

    So after some shield jumping I won my bracket with 1149pts. Compromized from the X-Men was pushing, but from what I saw He was shield-jumping with 1 fight at a time. Guess He really felt the Spidey nerf, Peter being 1 of his 4 maxed 3* (among IM40, Pun and Patch). Top 10 was between 1149-963, so pretty tight.

    I easily took 2-3fights each jump. Planned to do 3 fights at T -7mins, but the first fight took too long (no green matches), but two were sufficient.

    I'll be honest and the fact that Hulk is now viable + I leveled my Psy 40levels for this (at 125 now) + most importantly my teammates keep on pressing on me is a huge factor to stay for a little longer in MPQ... icon_rolleyes.gif

    my willpower is weak... gee...

    Haha we didn't WANT to, I can assure you I would've been fine with not breaking my first shield icon_e_smile.gif

    Muscled my way to 1st place, shielded up, watched for about 10 minutes to see if I got any retals and I didn't. Come back at the end of the tourney to see I'd lost ~100 points and finished in 12th. I don't think it was server lag unless the lag was a half hour long. ugh.

    You're confusing the mind control device with the Choppomatic 9000, or as some of us don't call it, the Dakenator.

    Nice try in that run for first by the way. You and MTGOFerret were both trying to get me while I was unshielded. You actually managed to take points from me.

    Yeah, nice little fight we had at the end there. I did actually end up 1st for half a second until the Zombies came and chewed my head off there last second. Litterly had one attack that got shielded and the other two didn't *ugh* lol
    Grats on the first place BTW icon_e_smile.gif

    I hit syngen just as time expired it did not count would have gotten me real close to first if not in first, but still managed to sneak into second place

    I would have let you take first if I hadn't also needed that 1 Red XForce cover to finish off the color Ferret.

    That one attack that hit your shield was actually me, I queued you up to see if you'd queued me up again to attack me when I unshielded again. The horde actually left me alone for all of that little scuffle. Guess they thought BP LT was more health than they wanted to burn through.

    I would've been shielded for that last hit Sockid, so you'd probably have been just shy of 1st if it had counted.

    But hey no complaints other then the HP costs it was fun icon_e_smile.gif

    I'm sorry, you were the only one worth points and you kept appearing in my queue icon_e_sad.gif Your team was hard to fight with the Hood taking my lunch money and I slipped out of top 10 anyway so I hope that evens that out?..

    I find the Call Him Ragnarok node in Dark Avengers far more effective for prologue healing now - with obw of course. I can get 1-2 solid heals in even when running max level characters
    For what it's worth, I've been enjoying Maggia nodes in Prologue for Spidey heals, but that also requires the Hood. Maggia goons generate blue and yellow like crazy so that you can match other colours and still get off a few heals. Healed my Hulk that way, it took longer, but definitely easier than on HAMMER nodes.

    I tried switching to the Maggia nodes too, but found the Maggia got off more damaging shots that I couldn't prevent. Tommy Gun does big damage to the entire team and Pistol has a short countdown.

    Locked, if you're using hood+spidey then you're only healing 1 character at a time. I find the lone 115 rags quite easy to lock down with obws purple so it's relatively low risk. That + the fact that I never levelled spider-man beyond 55 means I'm forced to use OBW for maximum efficiency and therefore I want to avoid any nodes with countdown tiles .
