So this will be two events in a row with what may be the new format for alliance rewards, making it so that 1-5 placement really is important, instead of allowing a full set of covers to anyone finishing T25 solo, and in a T100 alliance.

Interesting.

Ms Marvel, Beast, and Fury for high scorers

Hope you like death brackets

That would not be my choice of words. They are deliberately screwing people out of a color of covers. It was fine and balanced before. People who can’t place Top25 need diverse Covers to develop Chars. Not the same one twice. Frankly that’s BS.

5

I’ll be pushing to (at least) 1100 probably, since I need pretty much everything. Haven’t done that in a while. As few covers as I need now, when a bunch of them are offered at once I guess it’s time for shield-hop-palooza.

Of course, 1100 might mean top 25, as things have been lately.

6

I’ll take my first level of Hypersonic Punch and nothing else, and I’ll be grateful for it.

7

Yes and her Red - which is ONLY available for top 5 will be available as the 1100 point reward in HER PvP.

Just like Mr. McCoy’s green as the 1100 point reward in his… (speculating based on quote above and current awards).

8

If they run x character 3 times:

Old way:
a) Top 100 indiv. Color1, Top 100 Alliance Color 2
b) Color 2, Color 3
c) Color 3, Color 1.

Three colors, 2 covers each. If they rotate the redundant color with this method, the end result will be the same, 2/2/2 when you’re done with 3 events.

I kinda prefer this personally. Adding 2 level to one skill is usually stronger than adding 1 to two of them, not to mention doubling up drives a higher soft-cap.

9

Depends alot on the doubled up cover. Beast was horrible since no one wants Yellow it’s just bad extra levels doesn’t help a bad ability. Marvel’s Black is actually probably her best ability so I’ll gladly take 2 of those.

10

Even though I was a fan of the 1/1/1 for top 25, top 100 alliance placement. I don’t exactly have a negative view of this. Getting 2 of any cover for a character that is sub 4 covers in a particular skill would help a bit more to bring them up in levels. We have the option to respec later and we haven’t seen abilities with increased costs per cover since GSBW and IM40.

11

D3, admit it. You just made beast so you could name an event the real mccoy.

12

Yep.

Just another snipe at the end PVP.

Only this one(for me) is ‘1st place or stop playing’.

13

Will anyone bother running their own Beast competitively? I mean forget Sentry, Beast also screws other green/yellow abilities due to his being cheaper/cheap enough that AI will wait for them and execute them. E.g. Judgement, Thunder Strike, Battleplan, Call The Storm, Berserker Rage.

14

I’ll give him a shot with Daken and Falcon while I’m climbing but after that… who knows.

15

Doing the same thing, Daken/Patch and my own up until somewhere between 6-800. Then loaner Beast so he doesn’t stink it up as much on defense.

16

Went from 200 to 800 with only one attack made against me… No one playing on pvp? Better for me icon_twisted.gif

17

Sentry teams… In fact any and all teams relying on green/yellow: don’t run your own Beast.
Just hit a 5DV (sorry if you were unshielded, I really hoped enough time passed) with maxed Sentry/Hood and lvl 100-ish Beast with all covers. The enemy team gets 12 green - they roll for Animal Inside, with no special tiles doing 365 damage to my team. They get 8 yellow, enough to cast Sacrifice - they roll to wait for Medical Marvel.

18

It’s a sad state of affairs, that Green and Yellow on Beast. Counting on the AI to screw it up personally.

19

Is it a record that with less than 8 hours to go in this PvP, we haven’t moved from page one?

20

It’s been some time since 800 wasn’t Top25. And no last minute push thanks to the 7 AM end time.
Add to that Beast taking colors from the better characters, making him a serious handicap, and you got an allaround great PvP. Can’t wait to play with my 0/0/2 Cpt Marvel in the next PvP.
