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 is now up to 618. Bracket leader Billy404 has 9076 points, #10 has 7038 points. 2871 points in one clear, including one non-repeatable node. Bad bracket if you want placement rewards.
Slice 3 vet/hard is now at 129, leader is 401Baron at 4124 followed by fefe77 (4082) and Sammike3119 (3168). Rest of the top 10 are at 2851 (one clear plus 1 point from rubberbanding).
For the third straight event, I’ve tried waiting out slice 4 for a fresh bracket and failed miserably. Waited until 7a EST today to join (8 hours after 11p EST start), and was #909. Just filled up at 8:35a EST.
Current leader is “Marvelpuzzle” with 7980 points. First full clear will net 2850 points, 200 for the opening node, then 10 nodes in sub 1 “Family Reunion” (9 repeatable).
There must be multiple slice 3 brackets open then. I just joined at 993. I only care about hitting top 150 for this event + progression, so no big deal for me.
Well, I’m sorry you got into another bracket but I guess it’s a lucky break you’re not playing for top10 plecement or higher. Could be either one is not a vet/hard bracket too, but have to say that is unlikely since I have not placed outside of top50 in the last couple of months and I think I usually get put into the same brackets as you if our timing coincides. So most likely parallel brackets, and could very well be that both won’t fill up because of this (joining players being spread out).
My slice 3 is now at 234, leader is AOS Wasp at 5412, Whisky 1887 in 2nd at 5262.
S4 - 419 First place _Sheon.park with 8632 points (consecutive clears since slice opened at 8:30 am my time… currently 1:46 pm at the time of this post)
