As you see stronger teams form and frequent usage of shields, you really should see an average increase in the scores during tournaments. My guess is the devs will continue to raise the progression standards until they see only X percentage of the player base able to obtain the top prizes. On a side note, I do think the devs are geniuses with all these endless tournaments. Now that rankings and prizes can be more easily secured with steady play, I'm sure they are making a tidy profit off HP purchases for shielding. All the while, the general player base is having a relatively easier time obtaining some of the trickier covers. All in all, a good move IMHO.

True, he is a 3*, but the amount that is needed to be spent ISO wise so quickly doesn't seem to be worth the effort or time to do so. Since I am already building up my 3* team, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to rush out to gain another one that will be sidelined for the longest time now, with plenty of time to achieve him through standard and heroic tokens.

But... it's Wolverine! On a side note: Ariakos2 is sitting shielded with a dummy team with ~500 points next 8 hours or so. Feel free to whack my team around if you come across.
Skyedyne wrote: I'm also concerned at the timing of the event. Running concurrently with an event that is giving him as an award seems counter productive. To do appreciably in the PvP event almost requires you level ares, which can be typically tied to spending money on HP to gain covers. That in turn makes wanting to place high in sub brackets much less of a priority, given the amount of time for each round of the PvP tournament. I think if they had waited a week, possibly 2, to do this tournament, it would have encouraged more players to participate. Without knowing actual participation values, attendance to the event is purely hypothetical, but the cause and effect of running them concurrently still holds water.
