Your WORST MPQ moment of the day (REALITY thread)

Why are players who can play 10 playing 9? Don't you want the progression shards or do you not need them?

I used to because I couldn't be bothered spending the extra time and because I had mostly baby-champed 5's.

Once they changed the number of clears to make it more even, and as my roster got stronger, I eventually made the jump.

I'm in no rush to move up. I'm well aware I have the roster to do so, but I like where I'm at. Did go from cl8 to 10 in pvp a couple seasons ago. Finally got the competition I've been looking for.

Competition in where you finish on the leaderboard? You want that? Coz SCL10 means nothing in terms of who you can fight against.

Heck yeah! That's fun for me. Plus I can gage myself against some the top pvp players.

Placement. It's basically only worth it for new 4* covers, though, I think? It may not be anymore.

Pretty sure it's not because for new 4* releases the T200 get a cover compared to the T100 normally. You can sleepwalk to T200 in CL10. Plus of course they rain down 4* shards and covers now for new 4* releases so any semi-regular player can champ a new 4* in a few weeks time or less.

KGB

Yeah, I remember it being more common (players dropping down to 9 to take placement) when new 4* covers were still pretty rare.

Why would the next event give out Shards for the 5 that was essential last event?
Oh you're talking about Florida.

Just noticed that this event was giving out shards for the new 5-star instead of Odin...who is one of the half-dozen classic 5-stars I don't have champed. Guess I'll need to wait another year and a half for his next event to get that half-cover.

Or buy the Odin cover from the Hero for Hire store before the event ends tonight.

What a team - a 25%-ish health lvl 120 2* Wolverine, a lvl 140 Cap (the 2nd worst 2*?!?!?) and a 144 Bag Man (so useless anyway) somehow won that fight! I might need to put some iso into my 2 farm...

But what do you do with the ten 2* covers you get every day from opening tokens? 😮

All of the other 2* are sitting fully covered with a stack load of saved covers at lvl 15 awaiting precious, precious iso.

If you're fast on open, you can actually watch the leaderboard to see who's playing it safe and who the biggest daredevils are. If you need to make up a few points, you can hold for a bit. There's really a lot of strategy to it, much more than it may seem.

Okay, you've almost sold it to me.

If there was a way of making it look like you were taking an approach you weren't in order to lure people into a particular course of action that would eventually favour you then I might consider it.

I probably wouldn't actually do it, cos there's other games that have that in the base gameplay, but it would get a far as 'maybe'.

THAT kind of strategy happens in PvP. I guess it's not part of the base gameplay, but it's what makes the base gameplay actually fun, and not mindless drudgery punctuated by random points loss.

Unfortunately very few players are playing PvP strategically these days -- the big truce rooms and the cupcake-industrial complex have removed all that from the high-end metagame.
