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)

i'm finding an 85 thor/85 ogbw/77 spidey (3/2/3) is getting the job done on this hero run pretty damn well
at this point, any non green hulk covers and ANY spidey covers are starting to haunt my dreams. no way i'm gonna get up to 10 or higher in my bracket so i'm pulling for that alliance black hard.
new tourneys on the way today apparently, looks like they're recycling the unstable iso AGAIN and a wolverine based one? that's likely the tourney with the lazy daken prize.
for those who don't read the forums, next two characters confirmed are lazy daken and human torch; they are apparently gonna chill with the lazy characters for a bit following that.

I'm somewhere around #10 in mine, maintaining about 470 against losses so need a grind tonight for the green CStorm.

I've been getting my tail kicked in the tourney; winning, but taking so much damage that I have to wait to go again. or else I do it with Spidey but those battles are SLOW. had one this morning with my spidey+OBW+Thor against OBW +Thor+Wolvie 2 star (all maxed) and the enemy took out my OBW & Wolvie quickly via Thor, and had my spidey down to 500 health, with their Thor & Wolvie still at full health...but I'd saved enough blue to go full time stun lock & ended up winning. lol @ spidey

just hit the 300 point step in the tourney too

4th in my bracket, just got the green cstorm, which I didn't need. Thor/punisher/OBW is serving me well. I've been coming out ahead on overnight attacks.

what's your Pun at, jeff, after all that iso 8?

115. Still need two more covers to max out.

nice

my l89 pun is more useful than I'd though; that green ability is pretty reliably useful for its stun tiles & fairly low cost

I want red pun covers though

Lazy Daken? Aw man

April Fools?

sadly, they seem serious.

Yay, maxed out my Lil Thor.

Boo, PVP against Thor/C Storm/OBW, I had my Thor's green and yellow leveled but instead of KOing Storm, I went after their Thor, Storm left me at 300-1000 left for my team, then THEY pulled off Call the Storm. :(

obw/patch/spidey so much fun to play again after a few tourneys carrying around a dead weight third. 4000+ damage in one cascade!

(but yeah you gotta always remember to do storm first. learned that the hard way after a few of those. except in this case i'd probably do obw, then storm, then thor. he hits the hardest but he's easier to manage.)

I bought a slot for ILX-Factor.

this fearless defender tourney is going horribly for me, ugh. too many times enemy OBW gets 9 purple and that leads quickly to call the storm and I am toast.
