In PVP, a fraction of the effort can get you three or four 3* and two 4*. Personally, I think that part of the problem is that the events drag on for so long. If they did three consecutive short events, each of which rewarded a single color cover, I think it'd be a lot more bearable. They also need to do something to reduce the need to repeatedly grind nodes, of course. To be honest, I'm not really convinced that having competitive PvE events makes any sense.

In PVP, a fraction of the effort can get you three or four 3* and two 4*. I managed to keep 4th by playing a few missions throughout the final day and ended with 63.7k points. When the scaling gets so high at the end, that's the only way to guarantee points. If you wait too long on the final day, you just don't have enough time to clear several times.

Its really desperate, boring and making me angry, that I played this f*cking event 5 days at TOP positions and during last day when I am unable to fully play because of work and night, I am without decent reward. ** Wolvie is like giving me a slap into face. During one of the last night and day I lost over 300 positions and even I managed to raise up from 385 to 50, grinded nodes maximaly, I fell back to over 200 during time when europian players CAN NOT play, because we are normal people who needs to sleep and have they own life. Devs, F*CK YOU

It's absolutely ridiculous that you could (theoretically) spend the entirity of the previous 166 hours in the top 10 or thereabouts and not finish in a decent rank because you miss the last couple of hours.

fluid_dance wrote: I was in the late "death bracket" and was surprised that the last 2 hours were relatively relaxed. I started at #23, and casually played nodes to get #6. I kept waiting for the expected drop, but the most I ever dropped was 5 spots which was easily recovered. The experience might have been different lower in that bracket, can anyone speak to that? Also, I'm not convinced there wasn't some kind of sharding going on for this PVE. It seems really suspect that it took so long to fill the death bracket (was it ever filled?).
