Just went over 1100 without shielding as well. Something has to have changed, my torch is only lvl 50 as well. Just burned through it with Patch and CMags.
Didn’t hurt there was some guy I’ve never seen before at 1300+ that wanted to get in a retaliation war with me. Felt kinda bad because he started at 1300 but we both ended at 1100.
God, those net point win retaliation wars are the best!!!
If this change is not a bug then I strongly encourage everyone to go for that 1300 point progression award while you can. Based on the way they handled things last time, the final 4* award will leap up to 2000 or something like that in future tournaments.
i think i might work on hot shot then grind the end of the first hunt (alaska) before it ends at 12am.
I think i can get torchys black cover if i grind isos and spend them on power boosts. Im tired of seeing my torchy stuck at level 30 xD
I dont like my alliance at a low rank though… i think its time i find a new alliance that would take me in…
Was that tc5345? He kept hitting me for 9, then 16, then 19. I hit him for 44, 40, and 36, before shielding, and have him queued for when I unshield. He pretty much took me from 950 to 1100 in a flash.
Yup same guy. I have no clue what he was doing or how he even got to 1300 with that strategy. I actually have him double-queued if I feel like smacking him.
Does he need a strategy with maxed HT, BP and Spiderman? You just smack everything that comes your way…
I definitely am not going to fight him with 138 LT, 51 HT (pre-boost) and 85 oBW…
Fight him in the desert node with Modern Storm and Lazy Thor. Theman has to sleep sometime.
Have fun storming the castle.
I like desert nodes, despite them being degenerate compared to other environments. Makes it so elite tier rosters can still be touched by mid-tier and below
I did the same thing with that guy on my run to 1100. He would hit me for -9 and i’d retaliate for 38-44. i was in the 1040 range and he was ~1246.
Grabbed my HT cover and have been hit for over 200 since.

Ok WTF Microtom23!! You are fucking hitting me like I had sex with your girlfriend or something! I was one match away from 1100 a good 5 times and lost it because of you. Made me blow through all my boosts and you are STILL hitting me! You just got a target on your back from now on buddy… 
EDIT: from 1100 to 940 in a matter of 5 min. Half of which is micro.
Meh I was pretty lucky… desert node abuse brought me to 1113… since I already am up there and the 2nd person is at 741, I guess I AM going to shield since a 375 HP green wolvie is not that expensive considering that May is coming closer and this means another cash contribution for developers 
BTW - seconds from throwing up a shield got hit by DJTheophilus who is NOT in any alliance, has 217 X-force and many maxed 3*… seems kinda strange…
You started it first, man. You attacked me like twice before I unleashed my team at your face.
I got bored tho. Unshielded and not playing.
He hit me too! Was debating reporting. His torch is max too…
Yeah man! wtf! You even had more points than me so It wasn’t even worth it for you! AHHHH 
I know, right! I don’t even need to play this event at all! I guess I was getting bored from the other event. My pve nodes are in the 300s and I don’t want to play it…
He’s one of them 5deadly whatevers and probably hopping between their 15 alliances.
…Karma.
well i got my fired token =.= did not get what i wanted… stupid bagman D; thanks for ruining my chance of being a better player, didnt even save you from the prologue…
oh well better get ready to get torchys black cover tomorrow, im tired from playing all day…
By the time I hit Him a couple of times ( 
), he was still in 5DeadlyVenoms.
Wow. Story of the night…50 pts. from 1100 before being farmed by Nemek, etc.
Just want the Torch cover, I even have a seed team saved all this time since my Punisher is already finished @ 3/5/5
Just let me get the Torch cover so I can be cool like you all 
Trying not to hit forumites is tough up here… 
Any advice when to try later? This is my first time up here…usually I don’t even make it to 900…
