Predator and Prey - 6/4 - 6/7 How does it feel to be hunted?

Had an Ares/BP matchup, the AI used Sunder instead of Battleplan (they had 11 yellow I think).

Not noticing any fewer attacks just because I run BP/LT/Hood - many offenders are Patch/Magneto, whoever/Magneto, one team was GSBW/LD (weird but apparently workable). I just switched to Patch/Mags to grind some ISO.

The AI is supposed to use the higher cost ability if it can use both the higher and the lower cost ability. If it used Battleplan when it has enough for Sunder, then that'd be a significant change.

Keep in mind even if the AI is changed, it's still a chance to pick certain abilities so it'd take many, many games before we can even notice some kind of pattern and you probably won't be purposely trying to let AI have a chance to use Rage of the Panther either, so sample size is at best limited. I only suspect the AI has been changed to be more persistent on saving up AP, but keep in mind that not saving up is always a perfectly valid initial choice for the AI.

Sorry locked. Nothing personal. I was making my push for first when I noticed that you were right above me in rank and in my queue.

Um, good luck holding onto that IW - I think I noticed quite a few forumites in our bracket. I only want top 10 as usual for newer covers, but for that top 10, I am willing to cut throats during the last minutes

Started seeing some forumites in my queue, seems like a good time to say that I'm making my push. Hit me if you must, but I'd rather you didn't.

It seems i inherited a very workable bracket for a change.. Just one guy i acknowledge (Ben Grimm).. Its not gonna be as hellish as it was with mikeydollar..

Shielded for 24 hours an hour or so back at 813 - I ran out of decent matches and I figured the retaliations were coming. Not exactly sure what I"ll do when they run out; I may just do a bit of shield hopping; may even just reshield if there still isn't much of anything. While I'd like top ten, it's probably out of reach, and I'm mainly concerned with top 50 and the Alliance prize.

I hope the Sentry PVP has a prize I don't want. I'm going to be spending way too much hp on this one.

Again points not added after games. Same thing for PVE except there node values are reduced, just no gain.

Mostly just playing for ISO currently as there's still a whole day left and I can't be bothered to use a 24 hour shield. But man, it's just about the worst feeling in the game to come out of a match and be hit for 100+ by 3 separate teams with a 500 point difference on you. The retaliation offers 5-6 points and can't be skipped for free.

As much as I don't like that you can hit people from that far away, it's insult to injury when you can't skip it without paying.

Anyone else not having points register after wins? Won a match for 25pts that should have taken me from 683 to over 700 but I am still at 683 in my leaderboard and alliance leaderboards....

Woot! Only -350 overnight from 900, that's some progress.

Well I was going to play some if there's server issues again...oh well...

This time points are lost completely, not just delayed or what.

I am in your bracket of bloody forumite carnage. I do not like it. That is all.

kensterr

just fyi my cutoff point where people start attacking me is after I got over 800 points. For every win I lose 40++ points. I guess they are encouraging me to shield hop.

Unknown

Ive done enough matches to get to 400 points and determined I would probably consider not playing this event even if you paid me. Yes I need the Sentry covers, yes I want to help the alliance, no its not even close to fun. Need 2 health packs after every second match even when using boosts.

Jeez, half the forum is in this bracket. Even saw klingsor earlier. If 355 is optimal sentry build, then top 25 won't be too bad. But top 10 is gonna be a ****.

Who are you playing with?
Even barring Magneto, Hood is effing great for taking minuscule damage. Just went against maxed BP/Sentry/LT with my BP/LT/Hood, not at 100% health, barely took damage (I think they used Battleplan and Defense Grid once).

I don't usually shield when there's a whole day left but I actually would like top 10 this time and I am too lazy to go through 10k health BPs for the third time and not too trusting for the game not to have server issues later. Hope to hold on to top 10 unless the bracket suddenly has 20 more active forumites.

Same here.. At this point its one step forward.. 2 steps back.. Damn..

@toxicadam - are you going to push some more or shielded for good? I'm not sure if our bracket will have crazy people pushing for 1000 points or more.
