shitty thing is when you miss a day you basically are consigned to be like 10/20/50 spots down for the rest of the tourney, it's impossible to catch up

but you can at least still place well in the subevents

Finally beat jug/Thor/moon, and the next one. But now I've got patch, doom, punisher in the 1000 ISO match.

Yeah, on hard thats the one i cant beat

Ha, beat them on the 1st try. OBW/Magsnow/Thor. Buff +3 blue/purple, +3 red/yellow, +3 all colors. Go for purple, magsnow, get criticals, eventually set off a chain of Thor's yellow then green, heal when necessary from all the blue you get from Mags purple. Save your red and one shot kill whoever is left with Mags red.

i know every ten posts I'm like OMG the SCALING
BUT OMG THE SCALING, some of the fights on the Hard ladder are 200+ now. at least there's only one more round to go

Hey, apparently you can gain points while shielded, if someone loses to you. Crazy!

Oh wait, I don't I got those points. *shrug*

gah lost my a-team (patch & spidey) and out of heals. b-team of ares and mags + panther can still clean up ok in at least some of the subs before they end.

Nice, we did it - extra Yellow Patch card + 50 HP FOR THE ALLIANCE

one love

two patch cards and an ares that i needed!

three patches! my first ! made it top 10 yeehaw

top 10 was really competitive in my bracket. i locked in at 710 and just barely made it in.

also got psylocke and daredevil covers from the event token winnings, woo.

I don't know why I find Devil Dinosaur eating a hot dog as funny as I do.

Really want those Panther choppers in the Hood tourney... I keep reading that I should wait to the end before playing to improve my bracket placement?

wait a while to join, at least (certainly a few hours). one evil trick is wait until the time left is 23 hours, or 1 day and 23 hours, or etc.

the principle is you'll be most likely to be bracketed with people who start playing typically at the wrong time, and hence who will not be playing near the close of the tourney, turning down competition.

i don't like to wait too close to the end -- some people do ok with that, but you need a speedy team because it then takes on a bit of a race quality. i'd rather build up a baseline set of points, then do another push at the end. especially so when there's the HP at 500 because i don't want to miss that.

Unfortunately no HP at 500 and only Red MagNow at 600. :-(

I'm of the belief that if you play right at the start you get pretty easy fights up to about 200 points and then you can grind to the card at 300 without too much trouble and a bit of skipping. Although really I just play when I get time to, and the weekends are the best run I get at it so it's just coincidence. #1 in Hood at just 452 points.

Do you eat the ISO tax in PVP when you keep having to skip teams because their scores are lower than yours?

Sure. It's pennies.

I'm tempted to start playing anyone that's got 20+ points now that I'm over 500 and "proper" opponents are getting sparser.

yeah you gotta

we COULD get a BP card in the hood tourney but we'll have to stretch a bit

got the 200k DD sim cover, my main goal today

I have done my bit, going to bed now at 550 points.

So, the iPhone 4/iOS 7.1 fix came through late last week.

If you'll have me, I'd like to join ILX-Factor. I'm only starting to max out some 2-star characters now, but I'm in a different time zone to most of you, which may be useful(?)

Hit 8 before shielding, currently at 9, I'll be able to play a few more so I'm in a good position to get a black Black Panther. :-)

popped up a shield at 556, no 3. alliance at 109. unless we have some other people making a last minute run, we prob won't catch that last panther. in which case i'll be at 3/3/4, which isn't too shoddy regardless.

Locked at 624, #7. We are 100 points away from the top 100 and a yellow cover.

sorry dudes, lost weekend for me

shitty, we just missed it

After my shield expired, lost almost 200 points in 45 minutes aka dinner, tried to make up in the last 45 minutes, god what a feeding frenzy aka top 25 grumble grumble.

argh that was so lame. all of that work for nothing

(same thing happened to me)

i never buy a shield that won't last through the end of the tourney

i don't buy shields, just ran out for dinner and came back to a huge drop at the last minute. really wanted that bpanther

I only got a blue BP cover :(

Got up to 160k ISO and spent 110k leveling punisher. Goodbye precious ISO.

grats

had a strong start to this Simulator week, but I won't even make the Top 100 in my bracket when all is said and done. At least I'll get a Blonde Cap from the Alliance rewards

played HARD this morning, ended up #76 in the simulator, FUCK

3 caps + two top 50 finishes in the subs. my tokens got me a blue cmags, unfortunately the only color i have maxed :-(

On the other hand, pulled a yellow fat thor yesterday so now i'm _/1/2

also tempted to go for top ten in the fearless tourney -- my hulk is 5/1/5 and another red would be nice (not that i have any plans to level him)

i don't really care about getting another Hulk card honestly, but I feel a little bad about doing so poorly in the last couple tourneys so i'll try a bit

Patch (who is awesome btw) and IM40 leveled up. Hood and M. Storm also got some ISO. IM35 sold for a slot. Main team is Patch+OBW+IM40, but anything high-level tends to work (except 2* Cap). Magnetoo, where are you?

I'm kind of swimming in HP (relatively speaking) thanks to Alliance rewards, which makes me wonder if they'll be tweaked in the near future to give out less.

guys, i could REALLY use that black hulk card up as an alliance reward on the current tourney... go team?

I'm at #87 in my brutal bracket, tough to stay afloat
Currently we're at #157, so we're gonna have to push hard to get up to that reward level (#100 alliance rank)
