    Ummm... I broke my shield, did 2 attacks for a net gain of 65 points, landed at ~960 points, my last node used disappeared and could not log onto leaderboards... well I threw up an 8-hour shield... I definitely have less HP, then I had - what I am wondering if I am going to have the shield and the 65 points I won when the servers come back online :S

    And now everything is back up for me - guess I can do some PVE grinding before bed.

    This is new and fun.

    My shield was about to expire, and though I couldn't see leaderboards, I did have fights available. I decided to risk one battle and reshield. I won, but crossed a reward threshold.

    The "reward earned" screen came up, but then "error claiming reward" came up when I hit continue. Now those two screens are alternating in an infinite loop, and I can't get to my shield button to reshield. >.<

    I filed a ticket, just so someone somewhere knew the servers were down. Guess I'll PM Ice and Will, too.

    I wish I had thought to hit a battle for lower points. I could be comfortably shielded now. icon_e_sad.gif

    Anyone with a paid LinkedIn account? You can send an email to the CEO of Demiurge to tell him of our displeasure. icon_e_smile.gif

    And it seems the COO of D3P quit recently... in March this year. Maybe high turnover at D3P and Demiurge causing problems?

    Well, I guess the good news is that I hadn't spent any HP on shields yet this event...

    What sucks most about this is that some people can play but you know D3 won't do a damned thing to correct that. The most they'll do is just rerun the event again which does nothing to put people on even standings again.

    Hmmm, on my end (playing on android phone, from australia) I'm able to play normally, just can't see the leaderboards. It's also a bit slow to update my scores after each match. My points are low so far, having just crossed 500 - with all the issues the rest of you are noticing I think I might only play on till about 700 then call it a night.

    Right now, in my bracket with about 13hrs remaining in the event, the top 10 range from 437 to 670, only the top points is shielded. I'm not even trying, only playing one match a day for the daily resupply, but these points seem really low. Wonder why.

    Yet again I couldn't pass 700pts :-/
    Lost all medpacks, so in the end I switched Hulk (who's recovering now) to Psylocke and made 1 match. Shielded for a while at 710pts...

    This event is weird for me. I'm getting hit far less often but for big points when I do. It used to be that when climbing, I'd get hit a bunch of times and when I shield, i'd be hit again about 10 for 200 points or so. Now I'm maybe hit 1-2 times for 35-40 points per...

    Is this a new normal? any thoughts why? spidey nerf?

    Why so many high level IM40s? I know that back in the day before you kids' Hulks and LazyThors he was pretty good for his high HP and (at the time) high damage attacks, but I'm seeing quite a few "212 IM40 and two underleveled 2*" teams. What in the world?

    Nice. I sleep for a while, and wake up to read the posts about another outage. What fun I must have missed, lol. It's a shame that anyone had to deal with it.

    I'm about to make another small run as my shield is about to end, then will shield back up. All matches though are 12-17 points looks like, even WYP is 13 points.

    Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of these teams too. 212 IM40 + cStorm + OBW, 212 IM40 + 2* Magneto + OBW... I don't get it.

    those are popping up in my nodes too here. I'm at 1016, and shield about to expire. I know I've probably spent 200iso trying to find a decent one off match, but everything is low points...and either a mixture of 212 IM40 with 2 141's, or things like you got, with 212 iM40/78 obw/78 wolvie even.

    My IM40 is level 130 because he is an absolute champion in Heroic mode when he is available. No other reason. He remains useless outside of PVE.

    Well, fantastic. Shield just expired, did a match, came out to two attacks for -66. Just did one and paid for it. Now below 1k from 1045.

    Wow, server still borked I guess. This is a first.

    So I decide to do some matches and push, I am around 380 pts and climbing. Finish a match for 38 pts, I'm thinking I'm gonna cross the 400 plateaau, I come out and.....my pt total is 325.

    I figure it's server lag, no big deal, the score will correct itself. I do another match, this time for 40 pts....score still stuck at 325.

    It's been 30 minutes. I've tried restarting the app, nada.
