sadly it's not that uncommon for rewards to take 30-120 min to show up.
it should also be noted that I likely won't have a strong finish in the first part of the event in alaska... I am busy most of tomorrow likely including the 8 hours before the event ends (on the plus side (for me) I would rather have a 51-250 alliance finish then a top 50 finish anyways (and a 300-400 finish overall but I have a feeling I will be higher than that as I will grind from 11am to 1 or so tomorrow.), as I need more people that aren't boosted then the ones that are >.>)
I know scruffy will climb higher
It's such a rush for me to see how high I can score in the last 2 hours or so of the event. Hopefully I can score decently each time.
For me, I like to join brackets relatively late but I have to give myself time to actually finish the events or else the rubberbanding will be moot if my guys are all knocked out and I can't do anything due to having no health packs or time to regenerate.
I also like to do the high levels first because when the points start diminishing, those low points fights become so low that it seems a waste to try and do them. Of course, if there's nothing left to grind then yeah, I squeeze every event down to 1 point though at that point I'm either burned out or really tired.

I could go either way on Punisher covers. He's good and at high level he's a constant space chewing bastard with damage, but my main goals dont really involve him in team structures. I'm currently focused on my Dr. Doom build and needing more blue covers for him and levels so I'm just more or less here for the iso.
he is worth 500 iso to me, so I don't care much as I had his covers maxed out months ago
yup my plan is to get 300 or so points, especially since the main event has so many darn matches to do :/
Same here.
I need a break. I hurt my damn left arm playing non stop last night. Got top 5 so it was worth it
I've had a combination of family and work stuff come up which will make it very hard for me to game consistently for about a month, and as I've said this game has become a lower priority recently anyway. I might try playing the last day of The Hunt to get a Falcon cover, but since I'd mostly be holding everyone else back I'm going to go ahead and leave GAF-vengers as soon as I'm back at a PC later tonight.
Good luck with the family stuff.
I am currently in GAF-kanda, but would be interested in jumping over to GAF-vengers if no one has dibs. I bought a slot in GAF-kanda (and there is still a slot open), so someone can take my place there. I'm currently sitting at about 25k points in the hunt.
If someone has dibs, that's cool too.

i see no reason why you can't have got's spot
If you still have a little time to play, you should just switch over to gaf-kanda and still collect an extra 200 iso a day from daily activity.

Yup no problem here with that.
This events... I beat everything really easily, but it's really grating to try and get up to the rewards. I'm just getting my 2* up to 85 because none of the my other 3*** except hulk aren't getting any covers..
Send me a PM when a spot opens up, and I will leave GAF-kanda and apply for GAF-vengers.
There is a vacant slot in GAF-kanda that I purchased. 2 slots if I end up leaving.
Ok I joined in. The name is auicc.

Finally got 5 on MN Mags blue... That popping the whole screen move is pretty cool, too bad it takes so long to count down.
I'm having pretty good luck with him, cStorm and Torch as a secondary team (behind good ol Thor/mStorm/OBW)

I'm still doing cStorm, MN Mags, and whoever as a third. With both of them boosted in the PVE event, battles with characters under level 60 last like 1-2 minutes. Magneto's fully charged purple skill mixed with Storm's blue skill is ridiculously overpowered, especially if you give your self a +3 blue/purple boost.

I would nope the fuck out of there. I've been staying in the top 50 for each event (unfortunately they end when I'm busy so I can't do better) and within the top 50 and mostly top 20 for the overall event. Looking like I should take a top 20 finish with relative ease. Having OBW boosted makes it kind of a joke--I rarely use health packs which is nice because I can save them for the PvP event.
i still need quite a few 3 star widow covers so I will likely at least try in it...
the alaska hunt won't end well for me though... it ends 3 hours after i go to work

GSBW was good until they nerfed her.
Eh you can play some before its over. The rubber banding for this event seems to have changed.
when did they nerf her?
as far as I know the only thing that happened was Rags broken ass was nerfed so you couldn't uber combo with her for crazy damage on top of massive green tile spam.
and yeah I can still play before, but I will be a few k off the top places.
I think her purple use to cost less, so people were spamming the shit out of that.
*imagines a level 400 bullseye*
*proceeds to imagine uninstalling the game lol*
so... level 400 daken, level 400 bullseye, level 400 uh who cares lets go with a bomb demolist (the one that places pointless purple tiles so maybe tech) and spiderman is a blocked character...
what do you do?
hey if they really wanted to be super dicks they could do something like classic storm with 2 goons that spawn 2 blue per turn...
or black panther with two goons that spawn 2 black per turn.
or magnito with two goons that spawn red blue and purple
Bullseye really shouldn't be able to maintain more than 2 protect tiles. And that's reaching; even in that case I'd reduce their maximum power significantly.
I'm sure it's been said a billion times before me but characters need to be more well designed around helping each other instead of having straight offensive or straight supportive combat roles. There's nothing (mentally) challenging about going after OBW/Classic Storm/Bullseye first because if you don't you're fucked.

I have even seen a lot of people running OBW/cStorm with Thor/Ares/Wolverine in PvP events that allowed them to do such. It's ridiculously annoying, because even if you nuke one down the other one has such a head start it's usually enough to turn the tables. Kill OBW first? Prepare for Wind Storm + Call of the Storm to 1 shot your entire team. Kill cStorm first? Prepare to get all your AP stolen and them to heal every 5 turns.
OBW is so effective that even my level 61 OBW is basically mandatory use for The Hunt. Granted she's boosted to 101, but she is so effective that if I don't use her I have to burn through health packs. I would really like an event that wasn't Dark Avengers. The heroes are crap to use but a nightmare to play against, especially when they get past their normal level cap. Daken/Bullseye/Rag or Ares is so annoying. I'm at least glad this event allows you to use any hero, if I were restricted as badly as the last one I honestly would just take a break or focus on PvP and ignore PvE entirely...
I don't mind the widow storm teams... they are pretty easy to deal with if you have a level 85 widow.
just focus on storm making sure to match all of the purple you can... you keep the other widow from building up anything and you can steal all of their ap and usually down widow with some massive damage right after you kill storm.
as for widow being required... I won't really deny that... I still think a lot of the problems with teams right now could be fixed by making it so that you auto heal after battle as long as your character isn't down (you would still have to use health packs on downed characters)
If they did that they would likely need to make death times longer, and maybe not regen to 5 health packs but 3 or so, but still it would make it so widow wasn't absolutely needed and make playing the game for long periods a lot more enjoyable.
but alas they likely make like $10 a day off health packs so they will never do that :/ (plus they would perhaps have to balance some characters a bit as it would likely make a team of high damage characters the popular choice... though I feel like that is often the choice in pvp anyways health packs be damned)
