    It's a shame Cat-5 and Season 3 have been ruined already by cheaters like Flo98 and GIPSY_DANGER.

    Gotta love alliances full of cheaters.
    But, but, but... they just PLAY HARDER.
    Can't you see that? icon_e_sad.gif

    Umm is Cat-5 not runable for anyone else? I just cleared out my nodes, and now it is "blue-ed" out. THis sucks...
    It seems we ve been taken out of the game for whatever reason.. Maybe we re deemed cheaters because we climbed too fast.. Go figure.. 2 hours hiatus atm..

    Wait, if you win to many fights... you can't play? So running in the last day is no longer an option? Sigh... I may be done with this game.

    Mine also kicked me out after all the nodes disappeared one by one after i cleared them. I was able to get back in but only one node was available. I won that fight and then got booted again. I didnt know the game would boot you for winning matches... lol

    It's still there for me but I'm not going to bust out of my shield just to test it.

    He was being sarcastic.

    I'm so glad that whatever that is, it doesn't prevent those hard playing people from racking up scores.
    Kakko is north of 2K now, with Flo right behind.

    How are they able to pull any points from others?

    Um, let me tell you my tale, I'm truly weirded out. Maybe it's something to be wary about.

    I started this event ASAP, got 3 seed teams, wanted to tank a bit after getting top 5 last tourney, but I forgot to leave at least one seed.
    Slogged to 300 points, found a 2* team, beat it with my 2* team (oBW/Wolvie) and left at that.
    Some time later, I got a few hits, nothing outstanding, maybe -100 or less. But my matchups stayed strong and all of my attackers were 3* teams.
    I shrugged and thought that I failed in tanking this time, proceeded to slog to 600, to 900, breezed to 1023 thanks to outside help and Flo's mega-score, shielded, later hopped to 1100 and then got swarmed as some already know.
    Here the weird part begins. I got 1100 points more than 20 hours ago; today during the second-to-last Spidey LR I left for a walk in the park and left the game running. Came back to no losses at all and also did not see Patch LR. It was simply absent.
    I was chatting with alliance mates, nothing seemed out of place besides the missing Patch round and a weird start time for Spidey event (it showed some uneven numbers). Mates complained about nodes disappearing.
    Cue a team member announcing HT prizes in the Spidey event. I realized that I need to reload the game, came back to the end of the Patch round, a fresh Spidey event (missed the seeds), and A GAZILLION of defensive losses in Category-5! ALL FROM 2* OR WORSE TEAMS which I did not even realize outright.
    I keep getting loss notifications at the time of writing, more than 24 hours after I switched my 2* team to the 3* team, so make of it what you can.

    tl:dr: I receive notifications of my tank team losing to 2* teams or worse more than a day after I subbed my 3* team in.
    I will report if I keep getting attacked by underleveled 2* teams at the end of the event. Would serve me right for attempting to tank icon_lol.gif

    Maybe they're auditing the brackets that the two suspected cheaters are in and it's caused the event to be unavailable for some. Neither of those two are in my bracket and I can access it fine.

    They pull from themselves.

    Flo:"Ready? I'm unshielding, queue me"
    Kakko: "Ok, done"
    Flo: "K, won the fight and shielded, hit me"
    Kakko: "K, I'm unshielding, queue me"
    Flo: "Ok, done"
    Kakko: "K, won the fight and shielded, hit me"
    Flo: "K, I'm unshielding, queue me"
    Kakko: "Ok, done"
    (...)

    ...wow.

    Ton of HP usage if that's the case. What... 75hp per ~25 on the scoreboard?

    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!

    When you retreat it now appears as a retal for the other team.. If you suicide with a stinker you ve been hit back for sure for big point loss..

    Heard of it, haven't been retreating (only few times to forumites with actual 3* teams).

    From the very start of this event I was seeing 212 Storms...that was not encouraging. Then the craziness of last night. Between the ongoing problems, my MMR being absolutely terrible, and the monotony of the game. I am more than happy that the World Cup is on right now. Watching 3 games a day has been much more fun than grinding relentlessly.

    I want to play this game, I'm just finding it harder to do so lately.
