And some 5* shards
Yup.

I'm ~40% of the way there now.
You got a pace there Hulk!

Good luck wootwoot! Hope you stick around the message board at least.
Crap, did he leave us?
Not mentally :thumbup:

Woot, did you ever do the videos for the AQ bosses? We're going to need them!!
I'll try to make one tomorrow with Ultron. Even though he is much tougher now, the same tactics apply. Difference it's not possible to take him down in 1 go and can't heal due to heal block. I totally suck against Jugg, in RoL and in AQ, just cannot get into the flow on him.

 
So far some of these guys are way more fanatic then i am.. one of them ranked 177 this arena, and also top 400 previous one. SA score is already well over 650k. :shock: AQ

We are in veteran difficulty and running map 4. No 4*'s as rank rewards but T4's, also very nice of-course. The bosses are quit hard, especially Ultron with heal block, but very doable with the group. Participation is very high, the first group was finished with over 10 hours remaining, and map 4 has a lot of nodes..

Paths (they call them lines) are numbered, map 4 has 9 paths , so numbering makes sense. After the 2nd mini boss you have to call out which path you will take, or the group leader will call one for you if you've been waiting. Participation is key here, 9 paths and 10 players, only 1 gets lucky ;)

Communication

We use Line App with different groups, 1 main chat and 1 chat for each BG and 1 for officers. It has it advantages with a long chat history and messages popup during the game so no excuses that you didn't see it.
Maybe it is better that we did not try map 4, even if you were still here. Not sure we can all make it down our own path by ourselves just yet.

Can we borrow your SIM for a few minutes?? Need to finish off Ultron in a few groups.
Some of us would be fine :angryface:
You can make it down your own path, only problem would be that someone else would have taken it after you claimed it. I would guess that if we had 9 paths, and 10 people to take them, we would end up with at least one path with no one on it and 3 people sitting at the end of a path begging for someone to clear the other path..

 
Streak ended at 172. Just a touch over 2.5 million points. If that isn't good enough for the 4* Ms. Marvel basic then I am done with the 3/4* arena for a long time. I can guarantee myself the 3* feature hero in the 2* arena with significantly less grinding.
Did you get 4* Ms Marvel? I got rank 8358 with 2mil.

 
Actually, I don't think Kabam change the SA event, I think we just dropped down a tier. Your tier is based on your prestige, and that good for nothing WootWoot was just propping us up. Now that we dropped his dead weight we went down. Kind of stupid though that the only difference is 25 less 5* sharts and no L1 health pot, big whoop.

Woot, do the bigger alliances have a Batphone where they call everyone when they find the next exploit/glitch?

You may be right, but I hope you're wrong. 265k is absolutely ridiculous week to week. We would've missed it if not for hulk being so generous. Thanks for that btw hulk.

 
Yep.. the last arena I played was Black Panther a couple months ago when I scored 3.2 mill and the reward was a 3* crystal.

 
It's completely ridiculous
I've been there Foos. I tried a couple months back for the basic Storm. The week prior all you needed was 1.7 mil....so I put up 2.3 to be safe. It ended up being 2.6 needed.

It seems no matter how much you think you need to just have to go for more.

I still remember you (I think it was you) missing out on a 4* reward by one rank position on the leaderboard.

The agony of defeat is strong in this game, we could probably compile a decent sized list of all the times we've each been there.

I think everyone that was around back then remembers that lol. Same happened to me when I missed out on Thor by I think under 100k. It's infuriating. Scored 2.6 mil or so and got a 3* magik, so lame. And that was when I only had like 5 4* and probably like 6 or 7 endless teams.

Unless the system is getting gamed for this also, this may turn out in our favor. For this one the reward for 265k was 200 5* and 375 4*. In the 160k the base reward is 175 5* and 350 4*, but the 40%-70% bracket is 375 5* and 375 4*. So, I say we go for as much as we can (without Hulk spending money this time) and see were we rank. It is possible that if we put up 250k or so we could sneak into that second bracket and end up with more 5* shards. This is right down Kabam's alley, putting better rewards that are easy to reach in the lower tiers.

Sorry about that UOFI, i thought you guys really wanted that L1 pot. We do have a special crystal which grants a random exploit to popup. I hope it will be a 'give Woot something useful from a crystal' next time :D

No. Kabam can suck my male genitalia.
If you'd buy enough Odin's they probably will :D Man i feel for you, we've all been there. I've learned my lesson and i never go lower then 3mil, just don't want to take that risk.

I expect this weekend to get IF easily. T4 cat arena starting, old 4* as featured and most ppl tired of the Venom grind. If you're up for it, i'd say this is the time.

What's our whole alliance rating? What was it with Woot with us?

I'm betting we slipped under a cut off.

I was trying to block that one from memory. Thanks for helping me remember :/

Yeah it was back when I had restarted my account. I was in the newb bracket. The week prior someone said they only needed 870k for top 50 and so I put up close to 1 mil. Missed Ultron(?) 4* by two spots, ranked 52nd.

I honestly don't think we will be able to consistently score 265k. We only made it this week cause Hulk spent big money.

I'm glad we only need to reach 160k now cause otherwise we were looking like we might need to skip a week to to create a savings pool for future weeks. I say that we should just keep hitting the 160k and stop.

I say for one week we just play it out and see where that puts us. I don't think we will have a problem reaching 160k on a weekly basis, so if we go for 250k this week that shouldn't screw us over next week. I am not saying we have to spend or buy extra crystals each week, just saying lets see what a "normal week", without the HULK spending spree, looks like. Unless there are other alliances dropping down to reach the higher rank rewards I think we might have a shot.

 
I'm pretty sure its set by the alliances whole PI.

You don't move up or drop down based upon where you rank in that imo.

 
I'm not so sure it's based on that. When it went up to 265k that wasn't from us moving up, that was from kabam adding in points for leveling up, dupes, etc. I hope I'm right because I don't want to end up back at that point. There's no way to sustain that kind of production. I know I'm not the only one that has most of their guys maxed out. Except for my now rank 4 strange :) (thanks for the t4 kabam!). If it stays at 160k it's much easier to hit weekly. I'd gladly sacrifice the couple 4 and 5* shards for that.

 
I really think we should go back to Map 2 for now, after doing Map 3 the first day to boost our prestige.

-We are basically locked into the 500 shards reward, anything between 7-10 mil should hit it. We're not going to break 10 mil, so we're not gaining anything with the harder map.

-Map 3 costs more.

-We are missing out on AQ crystals, which for some of us that don't have time to grind arenas are the only chance at L4 basic cats, and getting those seems to me to be the only way to progress in the game at this point. We were only beating Map 3 1/3 or 2/3 times with Woot and Casa, so I don't see us improving on that for a while. Going to Map 2 we should be able to hit 3/3 AQ crystals every time, with no drop in rank rewards.

 
I agree. Plus with the weekend I was going to say we drop down to map 2 anyway. Group 1 has a new Macks, B328 has started the last two, did one fight and then disappeared. I know he is in school, but you can still have a few minutes to check in.

 
3 day item use event.

Top 50% get 5* shards.

I have a ridiculous pile of unused items, I suspect most of you guys do. Go for top 50%?

 
To be honest, the item use event is a clear money grab and we're not gonna be able to compete with alliances that spend a crapload. I'll use some of mine, but like dickies I'm planning on attempting ROL at some point in the near future and need to save health potions and revives.

 
Another thought I just had. I'm fairly certain the new map comes out the day this event ends. Standard kabam MO. Get everyone to use up all items so they'll buy more to get through the next map.

My advice: don't. You can't image how may revives and pots those top alliances need to use to beat map 5.

And even if you make it, personally i don't think those few shards are more worth then al those revives and pots you might need for RoL and the rest of act 4. Maybe go for RoL? At least you'll be using them for a purpose ;)

For what it' worth, my new alliance is not going for it. If i just happens that nice, but no-one is throwing away pots and revives for, potentially, a few shards.

Guillotine is extremely effect against Wolverine. A 3* should be enough to take him out. She is way more effective then Strange and maybe only a handful of revives are needed.

I would go for it, 3 new 4*'s and 3 T4's. Then you should have 3 40/4's for AQ's.

 
Was gone all day yesterday working on a charity fundraiser byt back now.

Can't believe they brought item use back, that was such a horrible event. Like the Perfect series or arena wins its entirely geared towards the big spenders and super grinders. We used to barely make a dent in it.

I only have a stupid 2* guillotine. I got another T4 from an AQ crystal, so I'll have my third 4/40 in about 3 weeks.

I don't pull #### from my AQ crystals. :(

 
I've pulled one T4 from an AQ crystal. Everything else has been forgettable.

So, it appears I WONT be ranking Drax until at least next week regardless of what happens in the T4 arena. Freaking Cosmic cat refused to drop for the second week in a row.

Glad to hear the rumors of something besides L1 health pots and gold exist in the AQ crystals.

 
I got a Stony Core and a tier 3 class cat once. Other than that they've all been crappy rewards for me. No Tier 4 cats :-(

Honestly I think a 2* would be just as effective. The whole reason she is effective is that her special reverses the healing and turns it into bleed. If you can avoid getting hit, string together some combos, stack his regeneration and pull off a special I see no difference. A 3* won't be able to withstand a full combo from Wolverine IMHO

For the most part I've gotten a lot of crap, but I'm pretty lucky to have pulled two T4 cats now

Possibly. I'm not gonna be going for ROL until I finish my masteries so maybe I'll have a better guillotine by then anyway.

Lol not trying to brag. Id rather them go to people that can't do the t4 arena.

 
MJ mentioned this in chat at somepoint over the weekend I think (and may have been mentioned in the thread earlier, can't remember). If you level up someone it cuts down their stamina refresh time by 5 minutes. I tried it and it might be 5 minutes per level. If you have guys to level, the smart play is to pick your fight to get the timer going, then go and level them up a few levels to get the increased health/attack, then go and do your fight. Obviously does not work if you are using all maxed out guys.
