Category-5 - Season III - June 18-21

Still **** greyed out over here! nothing is working to bring these nodes back! **** is going on!!

Deimos12

Entire event is greyed out for me. Can't play for about the last 3 hours. Tried closing the app and reopening numerous times, this is extremely frustrating.

The greying out started for me last night about 11 PM PST. I woke up this morning to find 2 nodes had returned but each was only good for 1 battle before the event greyed out again. In the last 5 hours I occasionally have 1 node return for 1 battle but otherwise I am locked out. I haven't tanked in the storm pvp at all and phone/app restarts don't change anything. I was skipping a decent amount last night when I first saw the nodes disappearing.

I don't know what is going on with all of the grayed out events. I wonder if whoever said "it might be due to the cheaters being identified and brackets suspended to make the bracket even again" is accurate. Granted, I have Slobo in my bracket and she is at 1524 after shield hopping several times today. She was at 1100+ last night. I mean, what is the point in going over 1300? There are no more rewards, and you have pretty much secured first place if you are over 1100 anyway... unless you have someone else in the same bracket. Like Slobo and flo and kakko in the same bracket would be a nightmare. I just don't understand why they would even do it. There is literally no purpose for it other than saying "HEY, I can get over 2K in a PVP event!!" It's like putting a sign on their head saying that they are cheating/hacking.

Unknown

So the x-men alliance has 3 people near or over 2000.

Might as well give the top alliance rewards to the first 50 alliances so that cheaters don't get rewarded the most. Or, you know, just ban cheaters.


This game is turning into a farce. You can use a speed hack and with the help of a very simple bot, complete pvp fights in less than 10 seconds. That's probably what they're doing. If you need iso, then just use your bot to farm iso at incredible speed, and if your need more covers, why not use the huge exploit that allows you to reset your tokens after opening them.

You're doing a great job demiurge...

Microtom, they should hire you as a security advisor (cheatbuster)

That stinks locked. You can have you tank teams in people's cached matches long after you sub in your main team though.

That I know about, but it can't be that none of these teams saw me 24 hours ago and only started attacking me now. It seems to me something is changing again (unannounced changes, remember?) or maybe it's just the server funkiness. We'll see!

There's been so much server problems and people unable to access the event I wouldn't be surprised if that was why a wave came crashing down all at once.

I'm greyed out as well now.

Really weird, I won a match and the same person showed up in the same node again. I took mercy and skipped 'em, but the node disappeared rather than offer a new opponent. I should have just attacked my remaining two nodes, but I skipped once more just to see what would happen and that node disappeared too. Restarted to no effect and decided to fight my last remaining node. My victory was rewarded with being kicked out of the event to the main versus tab and a greyed out Cat-5 event.

Sent in a ticket.

I kind of wish I would've attacked that same person again. I wonder if I could have rode them all the way up my bracket...

It infuriates me deeply.. I cant compete.. I will miss isos.. Points for season.. Covers.. Token.. And i m going to hurt my alliance ranking.. No words from the devs as well.. They better resolve this matter quickly..

I had this weird thing happen last Friday I sent the note below in a ticket. I really wish I could remember the name of the person. Anyone else had something crazy like this happen to them? Is this a hack/bot of some sort someone can run? I posted here because the discussion of cheaters and suspect this is some variation...

Hi,
I just played a match in Cage Fight about 5:30 ET where I faced a pretty low team. I don't remember the name but he beat my level 96 Patch with buff, level 85 OBE ans 85 Classic Storm in like no time with the loaner Patch, level 50 IM and 85 Thor. It was like he suddenly did crazy match damage to me. I don't know if there's any way to check on that but it just seemed really odd. He's currently at 800+ points with a sub par roster.

This was the support reply I got yesterday:

A wild Flo98 has appeared in my queue - guess I'll save for my shield hop. I'd say I'll try to hit him when he unshields, but it's such a short time I just don't think it's really doable.

Anyway, if any of you can actually play the game at all right now, I'm shielded at 1051 for the next 2+ hours, so whack away if you got me.

Wonderful that so many people can get greyed out in cat5, many of them in my alliance, yet people like electro, Gipsy and flo at 2k in points.

This is a complete farce, period.

Unknown

I'm not sure if I should push now like I normally do on Fridays or wait until later. My pvp is working fine when I play a few.

MojoWild

I just unshielded, played two matches, with boosts... and had my butt thoroughly handed to me. Both teams had a mediocre Storm, 85 OBW, and a Punisher/Hulk around 120. I was playing with a buffed 42 Storm, 85 OBW, and 112 LThor. It seemed I could do no right and I swear they were pulling massive amounts of AP almost every turn where I couldn't generate anything, plus OBW's stealing/healing...
And then I finished those two fights and I had two attacks already. And I want to say that they were from the same people I just lost against! I could be wrong though. I shielded and right away got a third attack that I thankfully didn't lose points for.
But still... wth???

Unknown

There's some definite strangeness going on in PvP today.

Unknown

My Cat-5 event is also greyed out as of about an hour ago. Several people in my alliance are also reporting the same thing, though it's not universal. Some are also reporting other events greyed out as well.

MojoWild

I noticed the opponent's AP tally and they were getting 20-40 environmental AP a bunch of times, not every turn though. And then some turns they would get an assortment of everything...

Unknown

They probably should remove this event from season scores at the very least until all this funny business gets resolved.

Unknown

Grayed out too here.. Must I finish this event with 600 points?
Sent in a ticket too, but God only knows which time next year they will respons to it
If any of you found any solution, please share
Starting to regret that cash I just spent on the sale

MojoWild

ALSO... I had an 8 hour shield that I broke about an hour early. I may have gotten a couple attacks early on but other than that, it's been quiet. Then I unshield and I'm hit twice during another match? Then I reshield and have third attack. It's been 20 minutes since then and now nothing...!
So... it just happened that I would be attacked multiple times for the ten minutes I happened to be unshielded?!
