I’m sure someone with more experience in the matter can weigh in, but from what i heard/read, you couldn’t reach that spidey anyway. People weren’t playing it enough to raise scores high enough for people to realistically reach the spidey cover. The new Shield Simulator being tied to the seasons makes the rewards actually attainable since people have incentive to play it and score as high as they possibly can.
Shortly after shields were introduced, there was a small window where people got up to the 3000 mark I believe. Was not all that hard if you could get into a pocket with high ranked shielded people, and there were often tank teams amongst those (when you could field a tank team by simply retreating with that team). There were several hefty HP rewards in the prize list at that time (500 I think?), as well as the 3* covers. If I recall correctly, it barely lasted 24 hours, the HP rewards were taken out and it was no longer so easy to find high scoring targets.
Sorry. Language usage bias. I think most people who see usage errors immediately assume that the writer is being completely serious. Which is silly, because English usage doesn’t have anything to do with capability for humor, but there it is. Maybe an exclamation point would have made it more obviously a joke?
IIRC, they introduced the shields on a Monday afternoon. Reduced the 500 HP and 1000 ISO rewards on a Wednesday and then removed the ability to shield on Thursday. That was all the window you had to get to 3000.
In the 6 months or so that the game has been live only 4 possible days to get all rewards?! Says it all really. Still I have hope that the new tanking simulator will give up her goodies on a more regular basis.
I missed that window by days, but I DID manage to hit 2604 for my 5th blue Spidey cover (so worth it!) in the day right afterward while the points remained high. This was back when we had the Old boost structure, and the +1 AP ALL was still worth ISO-8 instead of Hero Points!
By the end there, matches were only worth single digit points at times, plus I did this with a 2** roster instead of the 3*** crew I have available now, with Massive boosting.
Memories…
especially of being farmed after I hit my Spidey goal, plus I started to give points away to try helping out…
