I'm ahead of 3rd by almost 10k. Yay iw?

I'm wondering if the storm is possible for me. I'm at 106k

You should be able to do 15K per day on the last two days unless something dramatically changes on the last day, so that should be able to hit 125K pretty comfortably.

KyleStrife, I'm not sure if you're reading this, but if you are, I just want to tell you that I would really appreciate it if you stopped playing after getting the Storm cover. I would really like that green IW and it will suck so hard missing one of these again.

Unknown

I probably should stop playing

I got booted from the alliance im in i rather not play until im in a new alliance not worth playing solo

I HATE HATE HATE these garbage games I keep getting in. Why the hell does the enemy keep getting these damn perfect cascades to get EVERYTHING THEY NEED and constantly leave me with NOTHING to make but some worthless 3 match. And somehow that god damn Ragnarok always has JUST the amount of Reds and Greens it needs to keep using those damn moves. And 2* Caps moves are COMPLETELY worthless. And the board always makes sure Rags always has a Green Match 4 lined up and ready to go.

Pamizard: If we had the extra spot, I'd invite you to join our Alliance. Only 7 people atm, though.

I ran this event with no board manipulation/AP acceleration the entire time minus the required characters that can do it and even Ragnarok's fairly humble board manipulation abilities adds up to a lot when you have no way to manipulate the board or gain additional AP.

In retrospect the villians featured in this event is probably the limit of what board manipulation should be. You shouldn't just be able to get a new board with Magneto or even a Thunder Strike. Note that Technopathic Strike only really works because the enemy gets free blue AP. Otherwise you got to match blue to power it but it needs a lot of blue on the board to do its damage. If Thunder Strike added 9 yellow tiles instead of 9 green tiles, it'd be way weaker as an ability, but that's probably what it should actually do. Well, you might be able to get near infinites if you started out with enough for 2 Thunder Strikes, but that's 24 yellow AP which would more than end any game right now anyway.

Oh sweet, sweet irony.

I had some free time at the end of the sub, so I pushed up to top 10 (4th and 5th, yay?) for the extra HP. Just got my tokens, and finally got a 3* out of one of the event tokens. And.... IM40 - yellow cover. The one I was debating trying to go up to top 20 tomorrow night to get (fairly casual play has me at 29th right now). Guess that means I don't really have to do it. Puts me at 1/5/2 IM40, and I'm not sure I'd apply a 3rd yellow anyhow.

I finally joined the Indonesia sub with about 15 minutes to go and found myself in a bracket with Sauce and Twysta - and one pass put me in the top 100...

People really aren't going after this one hard at all

Unknown

Got 2 Brotherhood packs. Kinda sucks that I was depressed to get a 4*. Invisible Woman Yellow cover. Other was some 2* I didn't need.

Unknown

Chaos League has two spots open. They're good people, they might be happy to have you.

Doing my final run for this event in an hour or so. We'll see where I'll end up, but it's been a lovely breather of an event with a decent 3 star drop rate for tokens for me ( even if only one was useful)

I'm not really pushing for it, but I am targeting a handful of ISO's (figured these type of events are gold mine to more or less max out 3* characters). I'm only ranked so high purely because replaying the same nodes repeatedly when it rewards you 20 iso's...

Unknown

From a PVE event which started during the PVP crunch time at end of Season 2 and which had IM40 as the end-of-event reward to a PVE event coming in the dog days of early season PVP before people start worrying they're falling behind and which will probably have She Hulk as reward? Boy howdy, the competition is about to get so much bigger in PVE land... I'm enjoying this relaxed one while it lasts.

Unknown

I'm top ten and not quite sure what to do. 125k is out of reach; dropping below top 20 probably not likely. I'll probably do another refresh and call it. If I cared more I'd probably be fighting to secure top ten, but the difference between top ten and twenty is minimal.

I gotta thank you TooBadUnknown from [Just] for being sporting and not pushing more after he/she got the 125K reward, since there's already a fully covered IW in his/her roster.

I wasn't able to play much of the subs for 2 days and that dropped me to #3 no matter how optimal I tried to play. Rubberbanding is weak but fair to those who put effort into this PVE. Overall this PVE is quite relaxed and scaling has been decent. With the exception of the final rewards I would say that devs almost nailed down the mechanism for PVE.

TooBad is unable to play at the end, but he will probably appreciate the kind words anyway Thanks.

I think there was a guy with 170K at the top of my bracket. I found that I was playing more for the 200 HP for top 10 finishes in each sub more than whatever my placement in my main was, though of course it's hard to place low if you got top 10 in all the subs, but honestly I didn't really care what my finish on the main was.

Yep he was always about 12-15K ahead of me and I finished at 160K. He/she must really hate sleep to have put up that many points (most people would probably say the same about me too I guess).

Edit: He took first with 177591 about 17K ahead of me in 2nd.

Well, we finally got the PVE rankings sticking around. But SpideyPVP seems to have vanished.

And... I got 21st. That's fine. I didn't want that yellow cover anyway. I'll build my own awesome fighting suit. With blackjack. And hookers.
