Lightning Rounds 6/24-6/26... Or not...

So, I am assuming that the Lightning Rounds are now starting an hour later than they used to from now on.

It is nice that they made it end on an “off time”, but some notice would be nice. (wait… notice… am I expecting too much?)

Edit: Well, they didn’t start at 1 PM EST either… Is this frustrating anyone else? I’m sure I am not the only one that grinds ISO out of LR’s.

If only they introduced a “coming soon” mechanic with a countdown… oh wait… they did…

Now they just have to start using it consistently icon_e_smile.gif

Maybe one day + one hour late, like last week?

Or maybe it’s

RIGHT NOW! (1300, US West Coast time zone)

Looks like Diabolic LRs with Doom leading the pack currently

Ghast! Ghaaaaaaaaast, where R U? Is Battle Angel hungry? or is it Bacon Magic this time? icon_e_surprised.gif

So 25 hours late last week, and four hours late this week. Just want to keep us guessing, or checking every hour!

Probably working as intended!

“Back to the salt mines with you!”

Aaaaannd we’re off!

I’ve come to the realization that this is my favorite part of MPQ now. Between PVE scaling and PVP becoming a kafkaesque nightmare, this is the only pure fun I get out of the game, and I get a ton of ISO, and, very occasionally, a useful cover out of it. Plus I get to drag out Doctor Doom (I restrict myself to the boosted characters) and a few other people I don’t generally use outside of LRs.

POINTS! Gifts from the popcorn king. Thank you, your majesty!

Sweet, 2nd in the Loki round behind Francky.
Got myself a Bullseye, Bagman, and a 2* Daken for my efforts. Yay?

Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll get something useful from the season 10-pack… insert sarcasm here.

But seriously, I gave up trying to grind LR’s for rewards. It’s more of an ISO grind for me.

I got a blue CMags and some color of Daredevil, and 2000 ISO. Could have been better, could have been worse. I was legit happy about the CMags.

Thanks and sorry… You were worth 41 points. Does it make it better or worse that my token ended up useless?

Funny, first time ever that I see X-Men playing in LRs.

I pulled a Purple Falcon from a standard from this morning’s Hood round (which is still going on), so this one’s already better, at least from a cover standpoint, than last week was. Now my Falcon just needs two yellows and he’s done.

This is some kind of joke? Or you NEVER checking ranks?

Why would we check ranks? We don’t care who finishes below us. icon_cool.gif

People, don’t hit my A-Team while I’m below 250 sigh
I’ll put in my tank troupe after that every time, you could have gotten your points 5 minutes later without wiping out freerangecage from my saved node.
