    @LoreNYC: kyipgate wasn't removed, neither the recent server lag one.

    Seems like I'm doomed to finish with 600 points here as well. Sent in a ticket no response (no surprise), won a simulator match and restarted the app = no change, lost a sim match and restarted the app = one node appeared and when I beat it the event greyed out again, deleted the app and reinstalled = no change.
    Any other suggestions?? icon_rolleyes.gif

    Kyipgate didn't prevent people from playing completely however.

    And this one has all kinds of fishy **** going on. I think we shall call this one - X-Gate!

    At this point I don't even know if I want to be able to play... if I'm going to lose matches profoundly and get hit massively while doing that... I don't know which is the worse situation! I'm going to assume being greyed out is, but still...!

    It could be that the first person saw you lost to them and decided to hit you for extra since even losing to someone now gives out a red retal node. As for the other one hitting you, really bad luck I suppose. Also while your team is fine for offense (I ran OBW/128 LT for a while and consistently top 10'd) it is a sitting duck on defense since OBW is pretty squishy and non-maxed LT is not very threatening to most 141 teams.

    agree with locked that they're highly unlikely to remove this event from season 3. I would say they might extend it, but then they'd have to give everyone a free 24 hour shield or something. So yeah, they're not gonna do anything, and we'll be lucky to even have it addressed by a dev in the next week or two.

    i've had 0 issues with the pvp today. i've skipped a ton (as usual) etc too. one person in my alliance IS having issues (behr) but everyone else (that's played) has been okay. still sucks for the guys that are getting screwed though. do we have a root cause? what time did they enter brackets? did they tank/skip a lot? who else is in their bracket?

    it seems to just be affecting people randomly.

    I sent in a ticket asking for compensation as I am stuck at 600 points also. I pretty much always manage top 5 so I requested: "7000 iso, 150 HP, an event token, the green mohawk storm cover, and the 3 spiderman covers. Also if possible add 500 points to my season score or just award me a 10 pack to make up for the places I will never be able to make up in the season. " This is from the missed progression rewards form 600-1100 and the top 5 finish i would have got. I will be disappointed with anything less (prolly won't even get a response, let alone compensation). I am so damn frustrated!

    bloodwars glad you posted! me and you joined last night and got a brand new bracket. I was pushing and got greyed out around 460 points. I waited a half hour and got one node back before it greyed out. before that time i checked the leaderboard and you were first with around 480 points. It makes no sense how we could have both joined and pushed around the same speed yet you didn't get greyed and I did. really no explanation to it.

    I put in a ticket too, but didn't include any requests, since they have no way of knowing how anyone will do at any given time.
    I just wanted to be on record so to speak... and yeah, they probably won't respond until next Thursday like my last ticket... icon_e_sad.gif

    If my AI would pull extra AP like these guys did, I'd be doing a lot better... :/
    They weren't even 141 teams, they were fairly even with mine. So since they were on defense I should have had better odds... but they were recovering/stealing faster than usual...

    Ok people, i love every single one of you. i am shielded til the end and i need 11 points to get my storm cover. It would be the first time i ever got that high so if anyone has me in a node would you kindly give me some points and i'll continue to grace you all with my presence and jokes.

    If it helps, i'm not a cheater like certain members of alliances that begin with X icon_lol.gif

    I'm sure any number of us would love to do that for you TUO.
    Unfortunately about half of us can't even access the event right now, let alone try to que you up!

    lots of strange occurrances. I hit an OBW and thor team and I had 1 more purple for Mags to get of MT. AI took their turn and when they matched and got a cascade, it began taking my purple away. I literally saw my purple bar go from almost full to 1/3 less and the ai did NOT get a recon off either as it was just part of a match3 cascade.

    I also kept getting the same 2 or 3 people over and over even after skipped over a dozen times. It seems you have to get out of that scoring bubble and more options appear but you hit another and same thing. This pvp has been a mess and I do hope they scrap these scores since many can't even play.

    Also people who lose to you also show up as if it was a retal node. Happened multiple times to me yesterday.

    Yeah! I think that was happening to me too as well but I didn't see it right away, I was like... where's all my AP. Redonk!
    I'm definitely going to keep an eye on that later and maybe even try to catch some screenshots if I see it again...
    I really want to retal against the one guy that hit me back after losing to them but I'm afraid to get hit with that same nonsense...

    Anything specific you did to cause the event to come back to life? Or did you just wait it out?

    I tried waiting first. Nothing happened. Uninstalled and nothing happened. Then i skipped a few games in shield and i got 1 node back, but that vanished after i did it. Repeated shield skips and got 2 nodes back but they disappeared again. In the end i just went to sleep and when i woke up they were back.

    So the answer is: YOU HAVE TO PRETEND TO GO TO SLEEP

    Well I'm at work so that shouldn't be too hard to pull off!

    Not gonna guarantee this works, but try raising your score in webslinger and see if you get nodes back in Cat5.
