  • Well this tourney was rough for me cuz i wanna test flo98's sentry daken team in this one.
    And I lost two fights...Dropped to 930 from 1050
    Then I switched to cmag+patch. and crawled back to 1080 without using shield. Now i ran out of health packs first time in half a year !!! Thanks flo98 icon_rolleyes.gificon_rolleyes.gificon_rolleyes.gif

    Looks like reckless442 has my bracket pretty much tied up. Im holding to 4th for now. Hoping to stay in top 10 with 970.
  • Stuck at 1097 after a 500diff 40pointer stalled my final push.

    If anyone has me queued and doesn't mind taking a minor loss, I'd be obliged.

    I tried out a few different teams at the start -- Hood-Punisher-Daken, Hood-Punisher-Hulk -- was fun, but there really is no team that's as fast and uses as little health packs as Patch/cMags.

    I agree, altho people will complain hard core, its pretty sad when the only viable combo is patch+mag's in pvp events.
  • I wanted to ask something of those in this thread to see if it supports a theory. I got my LDaken up to 115 for this event running OBW/LDaken/~42 Hood (Nothing special on Hood really), and I'm seeing WAY less attacks on me than usual for being around 900 points.

    Is my theory that people see Dakens of any kind and go "eh... too much work" and just pass true?

    no.. you re just not enough juicy at this stage of the event...

    It probably depends. I hate that the character exists so I make a point of hitting any team I see him on, even 141s if I think I can take them. But I suspect I'm a rarity on that.
  • Mag/Patch teams are pretty easy targets, I'm not sure what the complaint is. That a 141/141 Mag/Patch can beat other 141/141 duos? That they can do it quickly? There's a bunch of combos that can do it as quick or quicker. AI Mags doesn't fire off purple optimally, doesn't chain blue, and can't use red more than once a turn.

    Mullethawk Daken provides strike tiles passively the instant you make a single green match and he creates no strike tiles for the opposing team. Most of us at the endgame stage have maxed him and retired Patch. The smart players skip him; everyone else has been providing me defensive wins and extra points all morning.

    Depends on what I'm doing.

    If I'm making my initial charge (up to 400ish) I'll probably take him on if the fight is worth a decent amount of points. If he does a lot of damage then so be it. Towards the end of an event when I'm trying to make a push I'll avoid any Daken fights if I've got any good alternatives, just because I know it's going to take a long time and I'll probably have to heal afterwards. Assuming I win.

    thats what irked me.. there are 25 3* in the game and all you see is 141 mag/patch.. it doesnt matter what team you field buffed char or not, you know you re not safe.. i milked this combo a lot before but i tend to go away from it cause they are bound to be nerfed (if mag is nerfed, patch will be nerfed, kinda (quickly respec to 355)).

    Lately the game does all kind of weird things -- this PVP I entered losing the game with a bagman team. It supposed to put me in with 0 points but later I discovered to have like 33 as if won. And had zero attacks in a full day on that team, safe bet it was not offered to anyone ever.

    Recently noticed I'm not getting the expected amount of forest AP -- any clue how I can look a 7 after at least one match-3?
    The reason You earned 7AP from matching 3 env is because it was a second match - You didn't match those env tiles, You matched something else and this led to the env match. Don't ask me why it is like it, but it is like this.

    Someone on the forums explained it, but the moment math came, it was EOT for me icon_mrgreen.gif
  • I go the other way. If I know something is going to be nerfed, I abuse the hell out of it until it is.

    I got up to 1017 last night which is the highest I've ever gotten in any PVP. Skipped forever and could only find 212/141/141 teams so I just went ahead and shielded and called it a tourney. noob is at the top of my bracket so wasn't even going to try for first, but I needed that yellow Hood... oh well. Mohawk storm covers!

    You probably see Patchneto teams because you reached the land where mortals don't go (1100 - 1700).
    Someone is trying to prove a point or something, it's pretty spectacular, but yeah, personally I have seen tons of various matchups this tourney. Even see Spidey, lazyCap, Psylocke, GSBW and the like occasionally.
  • Well Inevitable pushed me past 1100, not that I needed the cover. So I am just one hop away from first but I think I will stick. Looks like my bracket going to need 1K for top 10.
  • Bracketing is farked again, similar to season 1.

    Top 10 is all 1100+ and 700 will put you at roughly 90th place.
