    I don't know, I'd dare to say that a 4k+ Rage of the Panther slash is quite sexy too icon_e_biggrin.gif
  • I made a big push yesterday evening, and haven't had a single retaliation. Admittedly I've been shielded, but that shouldn't be affecting retaliations. Either that, or notifications aren't working, but my score hasn't changed. Is PVE distracting people from Sentry covers?

    Got hit for like 8 times in a row by Xormar from Hubris for a total loss of 237 points... ain't it just a great guy? how big a **** do you have to be to attack one person that many times in a row?

    Hmmm... I've found that running a max level BP with other 8-10k health characters certainly puts people off. What are you running?

    Score seems really low this event, but more from a lack of action as opposed to constantly being hit. Is BP being the featured character slowing down the game? I don't actually mind the pace of the attacks and they should try to shoot for this kind of outcome. It's good to be able to see your rating hold in top 10 for more than 30 seconds before the attacks come.
    I'd say that my pace is a bit faster due to occasional (1 in 3 fights) launch of BP Black after Berzerker Rage.

    And I think I just started to like BP. Combined with CMags and Patch it's like watching Michael Bay's movies. Minus Megan Fox fixing the car scene.

    Yeah, the buffed ver works cool really as mags can mine up the blacks and really all the colors are good for something that damages.
    For rest I sub patch with LT, got 2 just succesful attacks and 7-9 def wins this far.

    But the 150ish points from yesterday not registered on the server are just lost. Think I'll play up at -16h and use 2 8h shields with bare minimum play after first. The bracket is rare at this point though it's quite early, bug folks start to show up much later.

    My maxed BP/LT/Hood only got 1-2 def wins so far, unless some more were lost among those -350 losses icon_cry.gif Magneto's record is even worth - perhaps because my MT is only level 3.

    I'm really getting burnt out on this event. I don't have a maxed panther, nor do I have any characters maxed that complement him well, but with my current MMR I'm forced against teams of maxed BP with maxed combinations of lthor, daken, patch, hulk, and even the occasional maxed sentry. I'm forced to punch above my weight, and become relatively easy pickings for retaliations, so I get hit quite a lot.

    All in all, not fun. At all. Hopefully I'll be able to nab at least one green sentry for my troubles.

    dont want to sound like a jerk but thats something you do regularly.. in this event you already hit me twice.. you re one of the very few forumites who hit me constantly in any event without notice.. it must be some sort of little payback.. icon_mrgreen.gif

    I'm shielded for the duration, so if you have me, fire away.

    Probably could have gone higher than my 1029, but didn't feel like grinding the 2*s that suddenly appeared for 12 points a pop - not when my bracket looks like 1000+ gets you top 10 easily.

    Funny climb - got to 580 yesterday, and put in the official S.H.I.E.L.Defense team(tm) of Hulk/UDaken. No attacks overnight, not even defensive victories.
    Got above 600 with a defensive win finally, then another two, which got me to 660... then did a match every 20 minutes or so to get up to 860.
    Then 860-1029 in one go, with one retal from a maxed BP / CStorm / MNMags team, lol.
    I heartily laughed before eating them from breakfast in 90 seconds flat (good board, else that Panther might have been somewhat dangerous).

    Didn't even bother putting in Patch/CMags, figured I'd rather climb slowly but keep Hulk/LD in. Worked out pretty well.

    As always, the qualifier: I may break shield in the last hour if I'm slipping out of top 10, so please hit me before that. Thanks icon_e_smile.gif

    Figure you might have posted here aswell. Seems like the posts in our alliance thread calling me an idiot was not enough.
    So ill just say here what i did 7n the other thread aswell and leave it at that.

    i never check the names when i push and i dont expect others to do it either. If i remember i check briefly for my alliance mates but there have been times i have missed that too. I do however check when ppl are attacking me.

    It was nothing personal. I didnt reflect upon your name. I have nothing against you. I have nothing against your guild.
    you were just the taget that came up first with enough points worth hitting. If that means it happened 8 times in a row then ye, i understand how you can think its personal. But its not.

    And i would appriciate it if you left my guild out of this. They have no controll over me or my actions. Be mad at me all you want but they didnt hit you 8 times in a row.

    might aswell say im sorry to everyone else if i hit you 8 times also. Same thing goes. Im just not looking.
    if that makes me the devil on earth than so be it.

    Hey - twice is different from 8 times in a row in a period of 20 minutes or so... icon_e_wink.gif
    Anyway - should anyone still have me in their queue and actually care for it - I am shielded for the remainder of the event

    EDIT: and for the record - I did apologize for all the namecalling I did in the Hubris alliance chat
  • He did and i accept it. No hard feelings from my part.

    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.

    Max bp hood lt. Sure some matches come out fairly clean but the ones that dont cost you health packs on bp and lt.

    @xormar not really agreed with what you said.. there is some sort of comradry between forumites.. sort of peace of the braves.. this game is hard enough like it is to get in retal war between us.. sometime it happens just to test the mettle of each other (in LR generally) but we are careful to avoid hitting repeatdly forumites.. there are enough juicy targets elsewhere.. period..

    As a former +AP junky/addict, I had given up those AP boosts long ago. But, these past two PvP's have sucked me back into using them a lot. icon_mad.gif


    Pushing through 3 x 7000+hps is so much more manageable when you start off +3 B/P/R/Y. I think I've been coming out slightly ahead on ISO when you factor in the placement reward ISO. So, that means I'm wastings thousands of ISO on boosts. icon_cry.gif


    I need better self-control.

    Ye i know thats the way it works on the forums. But since i havnt posted on them pretty much at all accept for in my alliance chatt i dont feel like a forumite and most ppl on the forums dont know me, so i get hit by them.

    And im that kind of guy that usually retaliates. Ofc if the points are way low i skip, but most times, if you hit me, i will hit you back.

    Maybe now since i posted here i am a forumite and will have to start behaving? I cant promise anything but i can try icon_e_wink.gif

    Apparently CStorm/MNMags is a thing in this tourney.
    Cliffhanger523 is at 1108, and I got another one over 1000.
    Am I missing something here? Yes, of course, maxed BP, but wouldn't you get retaled within seconds when you run CStorm/MNMags? I sure know I did retal.
    And... that's not exactly a speedkill team.
    So... what's up with that? o_o
