    I'm sure the people who spent HPs to max him on day 1 are really happy now :s

    Of course for those of us who didn't, it's nice.
    Wasn't that what we wanted? Better PVP rewards?

    I wanted it for Human Torch. Lazy Daken is my single least-favorite and least wanted character they've introduced since I've been playing and this is the one they hand out like candy.

    I'd love some more HT rewards too...at least, one black cover as my 5/0/5 HT could use one.

    So finally join this am and its so great to be sharded into a bracket where there are people shielded at 800s and 1 hr later leader is shielded at 1020. So I get a day late start and see a few forumites lurking below too. Well that sucks.
    But, but, but... it's only a gentle nudge! Really!
    Wish we could get an honest statement on this, but it's not going to happen.

    Edit:
    I'm wondering when the expected bloodbath will start. It was relatively tame until 6 hours ago, and scores are waaayyyy lower across the board than what we had.

    Is this the result of people taking it easier? Or did half of the high-scorers really rely on Spidey and can't put points on the board without their crutch? A combination of both?
    Or will there be a points explosion later tonight?

    @goku: Were you planning on not getting 1000 this tournament? icon_razz.gif I'm sure you'll be fine. Have a senzu bean and walk it off

    @bowgentle: I assume it's a little of both. People who no longer feel they can beat anyone with spidey are now getting smacked around a little bit. Plus lots of people burnt out walking away after s1 and the ones who didn't deciding they need a slightly more casual experience

    Well I'll hit what is needed for my daken covers. A more casual bracket for top 10 would've been nicer. I suspect 1k will be near top10 baseline will be. Will have to swallow a couple shields, err. Senzu beans for this one.

    And Europeans are fraked again. So far we had the pve that introduced Daken and Fresh Cut both end 5am (GMT). What is the next logical thing to do? But of course give another event with LDaken rewards that ends again 5am.

    It's too late for that. The patient is unresponsive for the last 2 months.

    I'm grateful that I didn't fully cover him with HP, I left everything at 3 I think. I still need two blue covers so there is some incentive for me to compete.

    Well, in PVP you can shield. Of course us Europeans need 8hrs instead of the 3hrs our cross-Atlantic brethren can get away with.
    I don't think we'll ever have a PVE that doesn't end in the early morning for us, though, for whatever reason.

    Anyone know what the current alliance score for rank 90 to 100 is?

    I'm pretty sure the weekly schedule is 9am PST, 9pm PST, 9pm PST for PvE. I don't exactly like the 9am time, and it'd be easier for me to grind to 2am and then shield and sleep if they ended in 5am, and playing until say midnight and then shield for 8 hours for a 5am event still puts you in more control than grinding to 1am to put up an 8 hour shield for 9am ending. Someone has to be on the wrong side of the globe no matter when they're scheduled.
  • Hello Phantron, Oh hello Spiderman.....Oh hello to you too Frankynight(spelled it wrong, too lazy to check)..... Oh hello there MischiefMaker and hello Level 85 guy top of the pile with 1100. Nice bracket icon_e_smile.gif

    Haven't the pvp tounanent end times been exactly the same ending time for each of three weekly pvp events for the last 3plus months? Since they removed doubleshots.

    We get it. Eurpoean. Doesn't mean im not sick of reading it in every event.

    Chimaera, please remove yourself from my MMR bubble. I must have skipped you 20 times this tourney already.
  • Oops. Just realized I hit a fellow forumite in teke184. Hope I didn't impede your progress. You can hit me now since I'm shielded.

  • Freaking tinykitty tournament...

    I'm constantly making it to the 700s and then getting knocked back because I run out of health packs.


    I will make it into the top 50 this time around but it looks like I'm going to be well below my average to start the season.
  • Thanks for skipping me at least entropics. Justicebot kept hitting me for 40plus four to five times I am not the least bit impressed. The retals were like 3. 5. 4. 8. Like man.

    Had to shield out not running a cheap combo or healer is taxing. May make a jump later if I can get first or need to regain top 10.
  • I made it to 1000 twice. But was attacked at same time both times. Showed over 1000 both times on win screen but never got credit. Blah. Shielded at like 981.
  • Okay, I can now confirm MMR is actively working against me. I went through my retaliations, and how it's ONLY giving me matchups worth 10-15 points. I was lucky to get ones for 22 and 26. This is absolutely ridiculous. If people with high points see my name, please attack me for the love of god. It's the only way I can get decent points in this event, apparently.
