I just thought court death was randomly doing it, didn't realize it was the fortify causing the problem for awhile.

ThaRoadWarrior said: I think it was a real bummer how many characters were coming out feeling like they should have been built-in with the support synergy perks in those days, but also I don't really blame the devs for falling into that trap as a way to try and make supports compelling - otherwise there are only so many "add N damage to matches on this color" or whatever perks you can do.

Are you a T10 entering the initial bracket when the event first opens (the only true competitive bracket) or are you a bracket sniper who is timing flips?There is a vast difference since timing flips gives enormous advantage that can never be made up no matter how fast later players clear. I know at least a couple players on this thread do this in CL7, slice 5 because I'm in their same bracket every time and the only reason they finish ahead of me is because the snipe in immediately on the flip (because I can beat them at least half the time or better on the 2nd and beyond days in clear times) thanks to dedicated alliances and LINE. This is another problem that needs to be solved.KGB

I have waited for a flip but I also go as soon as the event opens just depends on what my week looks like.. and even with a flip you’d be foolish to think that speed doesn’t come into play or that some how the because a bracket has flipped that it’s not as competitive. I also don’t get what you’re saying about it being an advantage if you are waiting for a flip as well? How are they sniping if you are starting at the same time as them, and if you are waiting then by definition your time would be slower. Either way starting a few minutes later points could be made up on the back end during your grind. But that’s neither here nor there. My point in my original post was regardless of when I start there are rosters bigger than mine who finish with lower placement then me.

My point in my original post was regardless of when I start there are rosters bigger than mine who finish with lower placement then me. I'm not waiting for flips because I'm not on Line / T100 alliance and even if I was, I'm at work when it happens. I get home at around 6 PM EST and enter my PvE slices. The bracket flip for my slice consistently happens around 4-5 PM.It's impossible to make up that 1-2 hr head start in point regeneration on day 1. That's because even if I beat those players by 10 minutes on all subsequent days, I can only make up 20-30 minutes of regeneration time (and I usually only beat them by less than 5 minutes).Time of entry to your bracket on day 1 decides your highest possible finish. If you miss the start of a flip by more than 10 minutes you have zero chance at T5 and more than 20 minutes you have zero chance at T10. It has nothing to do with roster strength or subsequent days.KGB
