Its definitely a good method if you don’t have alliance scores to worry about. Most of the members of our pve only alliances do this… Its far from 100%, but most of the time seems to make placing T100 much easier for them.
How does jumping in with 20 minutes left let you get to top 10? Do you have maxed X-wolverine, girl-thor, or nick fury? I only have some maxed 3 star characters (patch, iron man, hulk, spiderman). Doesn’t seem like this method would work for me.
Its gambling on getting a bracket that only partially fills. Then its a race to get points the fastest instead of a shield hopping contest. Its fairly risky. If I wasn’t in an alliance requiring a pvp score threshold, I’d probably give it a try on events I don’t really care about too much. Potential for much better rewards with almost no work. The trade-off is that sometimes you’ll get a bracket of 600-800 thats been open an hour+ instead, and fail to place T100.
Like squirrel said, it’s fine if you don’t care about your overall score/progression rewards. I’m hardly a contender for t50 over the season, but I’ve been pushing myself to try and make t100 and pull at least 700 for every PVP, so I usually start midday the day prior to the end and do a slow crawl to the top to try and avoid getting hit before I make it to 600, then I make a mad dash for 700. For the Starlord PVP I tried starting 2 hours before the end of a slice and managed to sprint to 700, but got hit right before the end and got dropped to 685, though I still made top 50.
For this one, I’ll probably go back to giving myself a day and a half. My Sentry is fully covered at my ideal spec, so any points I go for are going to be purely for ISO and HP in progression, and season score.
Decided to climb early and hit 1000. Apologies to shadowwl for hitting him several times in a row - only target I could find until trogunkhan dropped his shield.
I’d do this if I didn’t have an alliance and season score to worry about. Never know what hero will be released which will cause the vets to go rabid and kick me out of top 100 so I can’t get more than 400 pts
Ended at 10pm est. Jumped 935pm Jumped 10 to 15 mins too late jumped in at 144th. Ended at 31th.. If i had 15 more mins would been top 25 easy maybe top 10
O well at least one cover and 50 hp
thats 5 out of 6 now
(6th was thor jumped 10 mins too early entered into a bracket 483 rd )
Completely forgot slice 1 ended at 10pm tonight. Thought it was tomorrow. Jumped in with 3 hours and powered my way to 706. Shielded at 16, ended at 26. Not bad, though could have used the HP for top 25 finish. Not looking forward to Sentry PVP. So much health to plow through.
