    What the unholy tinykitty is going on with matchmaking this tourney? I had to shield up starting at 700 because i was taking six hits every time i touched it.

    700. seriously.

    Oddly enough, I've hardly been attacked at all this whole event. Maybe 5 times total...and my Sentry is only lvl 75 buffed.
    Shielded out at 1101 if anyone sees me.
    Wish I was living in your world.. I've been getting dinged constantly from 300 points upwards.

    Shielded at 800 so hit me if you see me.

    Something's going on... I've never been attacked this intensely. My last hop saw 6+retaliations, against 2-141s and an unbuffed L64 Sentry, two of which came in before I could kill my third match.

    That's the kind of hit i would expect in the last 10 minutes of a PvP... and all the hits are coming in from people in the 300-700 range. I think D3's been screwing with the MMR setup again. I'm going to have to start tanking for the first time in two months.

    Wow, that was an unpleasant, albeit successful, shieldhop.

    clintman, thanks for the bump! I spent approximately 0.3 seconds above 1100 before getting smacked again, so I got my cover, yet never actually saw a 1100+ score . icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Its been a **** blood letting all day for me. I was hopeful of getting 1100 for and extra sentry reward but shield hopping from 750? **** that. Sometimes it feels like a special kinda of **** is in charge of this whole thing.
  • shoutout to laoa and kidd for being awesome icon_e_wink.gif hopefully i can hold #1, as this is the last 4 star cover i need (haven't gotten my daily reward x-forces yet), then i never have to do this again... until fury :/.

    That kind of aggression always existed. It just seems like now everyone is feeling that level of aggression as opposed to the select few that was trapped in a MMR matchup of death in the past.

    Despite everyone claiming to quit the game or at least cutting back their playing time, there sure is no shortage of guys in the 300-700 range with maxed roster hitting you for ridiculous point loss. Something has to be done to tone down the general aggression of PvP or you'll have a lot of discouraged players.

  • Why is it that I can skip one opponent and then 1 or 2 skips later that same opponent shows up again? Does the game think I'm that stupid?
  • I see Watercat's still running amok. Is this guy ever going to get removed?

    Well, tonight the game really wants me to attack you and Mizake. Also a couple other names that I don't recognize.

    Good luck man. Our bracket is "one of those" so kudos to whoever takes it down (even if not hotly contested).
  • Thank you, Pickles2, for attacking me right as I was crossing the 1100 mark.

    Your cunning display of skill, in selecting an opponent at that threshhold while you sat at a lofty 400 points, shows true acumen and judgment--ensuring you received--perhaps--a superior 41 points instead of a measly 39 or 40 from a lesser target.

    Well played.

    I hope someday I am able to return, in kind, your display of skill and sportsmanship.

    I would post about being a little bit bummed by jumpstarting half the forum to 1100 and not getting it myself but apparently I am a hypocrite for being willing to help others AND getting the reward myself, too icon_lol.gif Sitting in top 25 unshielded, as I don't need Mags covers, alliance score is good, and our latest recruit is teh bee knees.
    Apple alliance hate here, Terrans.

    It's good to not care (that much) about placements icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I guess the only reason I cared enough to shield after getting my progression reward is that it cost so much to get there in the first place...

    Missed 10th by a 11 points, my last match took a minute too long.
