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.

.. and yet no compensation for it.

Yeah one of my alliance members if having the same problem he has been stuck at like 136 in heavy metal for hours and his PvE scoring is not working either... so lame

Has he restarted the app? That's been the fix for a lot of people. Worked for me

I haven't respected high level iron mans this whole tournament. By the time I get to them is right about when they're stunning themselves. Except when I shield hopped I apparently didn't notice a got aggressive rcon'd for a bunch of red and took a unibeam to the face.

Well played tony...

Don't attack me btw guys, use GBR33 as a kyip. He's cheating and pushing currently.

They should offer to a good deal to sell for IM40 and then I won't have to see all those maxed IM40 that are clearly not doing anything useful except for this particular event.

Just got wiped twice in a row in about 10 turns total. I wish I was good at this game.

Edit: 3 straight times. Out of health packs. **** my dogshit life. I can't do anything right.

Feel free to stop anytime, i don't want to shield hop but I will I'm angry enough as it is.

Looks like a bloodbath out there. Kazu13 was second to me at 1033. Using a non-max IM40, Punisher, and OBW, he unshielded and managed to get to 1091, but then the zombies got him. He reshielded at 979.

I remember this all too well - the sound of the buzzer. me shutting it off. falling asleep again.

I just woke up to -226pts. In a tourney which I'd easily win...

Unknown

Oh... ****? Played one match to try to escape 10th place, won 38 but then lost 50 to some mid-tier (not fully leveled) OBW+Thor 2** team with a loaner IM40.

I lost 4 straight earlier. Don't feel bad. All it takes is one or two wrong moves and you're ****.

Welcome to my game.

I am also sure you will have guest appearances of -86 when you exit a match being attacked 3 times. Actively losing 200 points over a half hour despite playing nonstop.

As well as a -50 from someone with a sub 100 score when your at 900+.

Fair game.

I stopped just to see your attack (among many (many) others) bounce of my shields. I'm not planning to unshield after this - just wanted a good score before I used my one and only shield for this event to help recover my HP stocks after season 1. Doing single pushes is seriously hard work especially trying

I do wish reckless's reporting cheaters thread wasn't closed, at least then more forumers would get the memo about kyipping(I turned kyip into a verb!) these guys. I could see gbr33's points moving in the 1000-1100 point range and no way can you sustain that level without resorting to shields especially in the last 2 hours of the event unless you were cheating.

Sorry, daveomite! I hope you were shielded, since I'd queued you up a few hours ago. I was in a 100-pt shieldhop after dropping out of Top 10, and couldn't find anyone else worth more than 20 pts (aside from a 212-141-141 team). Please retal at your leisure.

K, burned through medpacks and I'm at #4, with 26pts to #1.

It's not the first time when I shut down the buzzer being barely awake... I need to put it out of hands' reach, so I'll have to go from bed to grab it.

so much fun!

I haven't looked, so my apologies if this has been answered before.

I was at 883, found a "generous" 22-pt team that I beat. It told me my score was 905 on the splash screen, but when I clicked ok, I was at 898. How does that work? It's the 3rd time just in this tourney that I noticed that, and with the points so close between 8 - 12, it could be the difference between a cover or not. Why would there be such a point difference between what I earned and what I was given?

I don't even know how you got up there I was trying to do that for three and a half hours and I actually ragequit in the middle. thank god for Patch cmags combo costing little healthwise id have quit long ago if I had to use Thor/Hood. Since I just fell out of top 10 and I had you in a node I tried to reign you in so I was one hop away from first, but my 32 point node isn't enough to take it from you...Haven't won a pvp since D3 screwed up the MMR system.

I would agree that yes, losing massive points is part of the game.

However, I would think that under any amount of conditions and boosts that a 27 IM40 / 50 OBW / 50 Thor in a non-jungle/desert node, can beat a team of 141s in under the 90-120 seconds I was unshielded. No way, no how.
THAT is my beef, not the -50.

The guy's score may have changed after you started the fight which led to a result that's different from what's expected.

i asked this a month ago, the answer (and other interesting info) can be found there -> http://www.d3pforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6033

next time, try to find a target in the top 10 alliance, that way you can check their real-time score before hitting them. ensuring you can the score you expect.

Just bad luck that it happened each time over my last three matches I guess.....thank you for letting me know - I didn't realize it could make that much of a difference....

Yeah, say what you want about defence, scarecrows being meaningless and all, but having a maxed lvl IM40 really buys you the time for that extra match. I actually made it past 1k earlier kyipping gbr33, but the zombie hordes dragged me down fast.
