You don’t join a main bracket until you select an end time. The amount of people in your bracket should be in a red band above the black band that states how much time is left in the event. It is easiest to just check the last post in the thread, to see what the latest info someone has provided. If the time zone settings in your user profile are correct, you should be able view the time the person posted, to see how current their info is. There is a possibility of multiple brackets filling side by side, so join a “fresh” bracket at your own risk.
Useful info to provide
1)Time slice you are in
2)Current amount of people in bracket
3)Leader in bracket with amount of points
4)Time you joined the event, if it was not right before posting in the thread.
Time slice - _______
Current bracket - _______ people
Leader - _______ (name) / _______ points
Slice 2 has 446 people in it. Top score is just over 4K - Smoking Goat and Kaiti are the top two (that’s not calling people out, right? Edit me if so, sorry).
I entered Slice 3 about 40 minutes ago, am usually in vet/hard brackets, and my slice just filled.
For clearity, leader is moisesbrabo at 8288. I joined way sooner than I usually do so could be because of that that I don’t see any familiar names so far.
Just joined slice 3 with 184 players. I have skipped the last several PvEs (I was in a lazy bracket for X-23’s release), so this is probably not a veteran bracket. It’s still too early to identify a leader, but belavonte is #1 at the moment.
Edit (10:30 EDT): bracket is filling quickly, up to 636 players. Expecting it to fill before I get up in the morning.
