Unless something crazy happened during my last fight as the timer ended, I should be getting at least some gold. I started at below 500 rating, raced home from work, and fought for 3 hours just to hold a 900-1000 rating (ended at 960). Probably the most unfun thing I've ever done, except the last couple tournament endings of course.

[quinten182]

And we continue the Adamantium streak!

[Exodus]

I got Fing robbed!!! A bit blurry but I was at .5%

[Shawn Woodbeck]

Got my first Adamantium League. I put inf Wolvie and white Phoenix on defend for the last 2 hrs and started fighting again with 20 min left. Only lost -19 over the two hrs.

[Exodus]

Cause of this, I think I may be done playing pvp too much of a burn out and a disappointment in this type of a bug....

[quinten182]

You should at least try to report that to them.

Though, I've learned nothing is what you first see in this game. On my first fly through mission 1 in SO7 I knew I needed 2 stars so I did EVERY deploy and only went for overkills for the bonuses. At the end, BAM! 2 stars! Both silver rewards! Yes! I did it!

Then I went into mission 2.. completed first few quests and got the "2 star mission 1" quest thinking to myself, "So glad I got that!" and... nothing.... So I went out and looked at it.. now magically it was a 1 star and I was 2,000 short. Wtf...

Yeah I opened a ticket with them, let's see if they respond...I'll keep you guys updated if they do. Guess I should have played 1 more if anything, I just didn't want to kick myself out if I loss...

[itMFtis]

Now that they've completed a full cycle of pvp tournies (all tenchcoats released), hopefully they'll take a moment and rethink the afk defense structure. I don't know how a company wouldn't reevaluate an element of their game that the entire community uniformly despises.

For those in A-league, or at least *should* have been (Shawn/Exodus/others?), did you reach and maintain the high rank from the start of pvp, or did you wait a bit after the tourny started to really get into pvp?

I usually push into top 1% the first day or 2, then just played the minimum 5 wins/fights a day for the reward. Only once during the entire month was I not in the top .5%, but otherwise stayed there at all times with just defends and the minimum 5 fights.

Actually isn't there one more coat left, the Generalist one?

As for me I just keep grinding into it, but I did like how they limited it giving out the challenge points probably made a big difference. But it was just over the weekend when I reached A league, still miffed and haven't heard back from playdom about geting X-23. I'm just glad we can get her later then in the 30 days it takes

Also it's def. a difference in your agent level when you pvp, if I would have known that before, I think I wouldn't have leveled up my agent so high, and heck kept him at a low level Cause if you look at the bracket ladder level the 10th place person was only at level 64, and the majority under 200, while only in the top 10 are they at 300 maxed out.

Although a bit predictable if you know the history of Pym and Ultron. So I'm betting the next SO will have us going against Ultron with Vision being the hero to recruit.

I know, I just got a big kick out of the Pym/Tony/Fury/Ultron dialogue. Well written.

At first, I was happy pushing to 0.3%. Then, I pushed til I was 0.1 and tried to maintain that for the rest of the tournie. Glad I did cuz otherwise I wouldn't have gotten my first A league. I would have been happy with the armor and under tho.
I also found that pushing hard at beginning made it easier to see who and what others were running and THEN figure out counters. Also, it was better cuz as more people entered the better my rating got

[freakout117]

I got Hank Pym today

[Shawn Woodbeck]

Me too. Now im tryin to lvl him and X23 up asap

I ended up at 0.3% and got x-23, so my streak is going of the tournaments I actually tried in (I was too busy IRL to go for Punisher). I found that the most success I've had is by reaching a high level around midway through the tournament and then maintaining it. With about two weeks to go, I got myself up to 1600+, then over the next two weeks slowly crept up to the 1850+ range.

I found if I was 1700+, I was getting attacked much less regularly when afk. Maybe since being high enough kept people too low from attacking me so often is my guess.

Had the day off at the end of the tournament and honestly, if I hadn't, I wouldn't have ended is Adamantium. While actually fighting regularly and winning ALL (but one) attack, I still went from 1886 (my high) to 1676 over the last couple of hours.

Looked over the battle report and seriously for every one win which would net me between 8-14 points, I was losing one or two fights, sometimes literally losing 50 points during my one win. They really need to rethink this. I'm all for limiting how many fights you can attack and also defend in a given time period.

[wolverine2281]

I'm only going to do the 5 fights from now on. I'd been as high as adamantium during the season and played daily only to end up in Gold and Diamond

[jesterkiller]

Ended up in silver like I thought. I don't stress about it at all. Pvp to me is something I will never enjoy. So I do the minimum for gold and that's it. The extra bonus for doing 5 battles was nice, but that didnt last long for me

Anyone recommend a specific level to farm for cp? I need to recruit wasp still for spec ops and I'm only at 30 cp right now

Problem with limiting attacks and defends to let's say, 5, is that you can win all 5 and then lose 3-4 and still go negative every day because of your fights netting 9-14 and your losses losing 18-25 sometimes. Therefore, never achieving a higher rating even though you may go 100% flawless. It'd be a random matchup system where whoever got the luckiest level of opponents in attacks and defends. This does not work unfortunately.

However, my idea for a system was similar to ladder rankings as set by top notch online game League of Legends. They allow you to win rewards based on your highest achieved ranking, not by your ending ranking. So i.e. Season 3 just started and I immediately rushed ranked games to win all I could. I got into gold tier after a long grueling couple weeks. Now I casually play and have dropped to Silver, but at the end of the season I will still get Gold rank no matter how low I drop. However, if I ever wanted to go higher (Diamond or Platinum) I'd have a lot more work to climb all the way back through Gold etc.

For MAA this would need tweaked though. The leagues would have to be set much higher. It would have to be more difficult to get to the higher leagues since once there you win the rewards. Also, to keep people from then never playing or putting in level 1 daredevil and iron fist to defend so others can easily climb, I think you should have to win so many fights a day/week, maybe just 5/20, to maintain your locked in rating. This way, the rush at the end of the season is completely gone. People who are already Adamantium would just login to do their daily wins.

So which do you think will come next, new pvp tourney or chapter 11 they keep saying will roll out....

[freakout117]

Chaper 11 is here

About dang time...hmm not truly impressed with chapter 12's story with the same villains except Red Skull. I give it 4 months before they open this one

Although new ISO's to research and Punisher is out.

[Fortune]

So at about 4pm I figure what the hay they arent releasing punisher today I will send a character to train. I notice *train cyclops to level 11* is one of my side missions so I send him on that . Few hours later ...Not only DID they release Punisher today but also cyclops is the needed team up for the new mission 11! ARGH!!!!

There is new Isos to research as well

[fosterlager]

Doctor Doom epic boss fight has frozen twice now when he starts the Trifurcator attack. Dammit.

Haha that sucks on boths counts for you 2...Punisher is pretty cool, I recruited him and do like his second ability to change his class, I only fought him once in PVP but I figured he would be real good with his other power?
