Moe Overload Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 On 12/26/2018 at 8:50 PM, _shal_ said: @Moe Overload Around 39,800 league XP for the week, more than I expected even though my strength level in the league was roughly as I thought. I wasn't counting how much experience I got. I spend the entire week burning challenge points to stay 90th or below. However, it appears to have been perfect because I ended up fighting almost almost all of my winnable battles that week. 1st place in S1 this week is almost guaranteed. I'm 48 out of 101 in terms of levels (highest is 301, lowest is 110, I'm 236). I've beaten all the highest ranked people in my league. I've beaten the top 15 people in terms of levels, and I've beaten the top 10 in terms of rank (it was top 15, but some people moved up in the rankings). I assume the most active players are the ones most likely to suddenly decide to max out their market stats, or acquire some good mono-stat legendary items (or even just realize that rainbow legendaries are useless crap and upgrade to mono-stat epics and make them unwinnable). My strategy on spending challenge tokens this season is: Check the top 15 rankings, beat anyone that's a higher level than me. With remaining tokens, sort by level and fight from highest to lowest (thereby frontloading my EXP gains, so I can level up earlier in the season). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're significantly stronger than me (I know that from the arena), so I'd be shocked if that's true... I don't track my win-loss numbers, but I think I did 301 league battles last week (out of 303 possible), so my 665 points must have been 182 wins and 119 losses. Surely you must have had at least 60 beatable opponents, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 My D1 league already has it's winner Takatada Kitagaki who has scored maximum points I decided to go through the motions this season as it will take the purchase of 3 full refills of fighting credits to battle everyone as there are 120 teams in this league my team as currently constituted does not have the strength to finish top 4 so I will just mine XP points It is fun smacking out these pseudo tough teams that are level 320 plus and while gaining serious XP points. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you must have had at least 60 beatable opponents, too? Nope, I think you were just in a less competitive bracket. I did get an upgraded legendary equipment item that replaced an outdated legendary item (from the shop no less), and it made a few more battles winnable that weren't previously, but I challenged everyone that had up to 5K more ego than me, and had worse total (attack + relevant defense) stats than me. With the first turn advantage, I probably could have gotten a few more wins from people that had better stats than me, but even many of the battles I was winning was with less than a single attack's worth of HP remaining. I don't remember how many total points into was. I think I ended up in the low-mid 300s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Ol Sheriff Joe Posted December 29, 2018 Moderator Share Posted December 29, 2018 Il y a 22 heures, dirty harry a dit : Got demoted to SII last season. Expected that to happen since I was going to be AWL. Missed the first day and part of the second of this season too. Maybe gonna miss another day this season so I'll see where I end up. Ego-wise I should be able to beat everyony I've seen so far. Beat the top 5 lvl-wise. Somehow my priorities are shifting away from this game. @Joe-da-G, you still out there? Or have you retreated behind the Maginot line? Hey @dirty harry !!! I'm still there, doing strong in Sexpert III. It will finally be a week where I won't get bashed as the smallest fish in the pond... (being 30 lvl behind is a drag...) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moe Overload Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 So far I've had a single loss (on the third try against someone that I had already beaten twice). A few boosters could have avoided that for me, but there goes my shot at a perfect season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit126 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) This is my second stab at S2 this week. Doing a bit better than the first time, only 3rd lowest level now. Think I'm about to run out of wins though, so I'll probably be real lucky if I finish top 60 out of 100. A couple more leg equips would vastly improve that but I'll be damned if I try event pachinko again for that. Odds are too stacked against me. Update: I did get a couple new leg equips, but my ego is still much lower than half the players in my league so 60th may be optimistic.

Chthugha Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I lost out on a lot of fights already due to sleeping in >,< At least it is making it easier for me not to promote. My goal to end up in the 16-30 range has now increased in difficulty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy55 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I have won all the fights I can reasonably expect to win, just the fights that are toss-ups and probable losses left. I'm at 38th atm and hope to stay in the top 60 by the end. In my nutaku account it's a disaster. I got promoted to S2 and I'm by far the weakest in my league, 17 levels behind next to last and the only one with an EGO of less than 100k, so just picking up the xp from losses and making sure I get demoted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bane Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 27th in SII atm and with most of the 45th to 100th still to fight (and 90% v beatable) im looking good for top 30 finish. Will try not to get promoted as i will get my butt kicked in SI i think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHarry Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Im chilling this week. I could finish top 10 easily, but no desire for D1 yet. So 16-31 is the goal. Missed a bunch of fights because of nice long nights of sleep and that is great. I can still use all cp whenever I play so ot doesnt feel like Im holding back. Im a bit lower atm but will go up quickly when the others around me start losing fights towards the end. In retrospect I could have tried for a relegate to S2 and then try to win that for a higher net koban reward, but nah. I think Ill net more exp this way in the end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman22 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) Snowman22 surveyed the players struggling up the flanks of the S2 mountain. @brassygirl was a spark of energy not far ahead. So far he had matched pace with the leaders but there was a pack of ego 180+ players in the lead group and he was the lowest level player in the top third. Calculations flickered through the super-cooled neurons of Snowman's brain. All the marginal contests had been completed. Only certain wins and a handful of probable losses remained. Possible probables and improbable possibilities twisted and flowed. Patience thought snowman22. Be one with the glacier. A glacier grinds slowly but it grinds exceedingly fine. S3 was not going anywhere. And this time there had been no silver platter. Edited January 1, 2019 by snowman22 grids -> grinds 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made your plan change as you saw the opportunity!! I like that! Lets go to S3. It is my goal, 2 days 5 hours from now. We belong one up from this cold mountain.

test_user Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 After this league ends, if I get promoted or not, I will be aiming for spot 16-30. I just don't have the gears and levels to really compete seriously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 I'm currently 34th in my D1 league which is pretty good since I'm not using any boosters this season Got a nice break today played 10X grand pachinko and received a piece of equipment that boosted my hardcore stats by 259 points. But my lofty position is going to drop big time as I would need to buy 3 complete refills of fighting credits to have enough credits for the season When I run out of my normal allotment of fighting credits I will sit out the rest of the season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll know Wednesday night!! @snowman22 I keep avoiding this glacier behind me. -smiles- good to know we are fighting our way up this mountain. In our group, 8 players have higher egos than me: I rate another 13 as tough. Of these 21, only 6 of them are KH. So I make the 9 HC my priority targets. I load Gold boosters in the morning. The Charm? Could go either way... Best Wishes for your finish! C-ya brassy @snowman22 hey! -looks around for any hopeful sight- You were supposed to blast on ahead of me!! heheehee.

Gambit126 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Definitely will not promote nor demote this S2 season. All that remain are losing battles. Boosters would be wasted. Shop offered me a lousy SS in a slot I have mono already. Two open slots for legs. One is weapon. If it wasn't so expensive and the odds weren't so against me I would have tried event pachinko last revival to fill weapon slot. Still hoping for that top 60 finish but not holding my breath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign RHB Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I haven't played the full season. Currently I am at 39th place with 549 points and 10 cp left and no losses (you can do the math if you want). Which is a way better rank than expected; might even make the 16-30 tier. After close inspection there are maybe 2 players I might loose to but with boosters and the right judge, who knows. Not much use in spending kobans though if 16-30 is feasible. GL everybody. Especially @Mythos who is currently no.6 in this league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windia Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 recently I thought I could make No 1 in my bracket because I won against the strongest ones and they seemed more or less swimming with the stream but not aiming to high. So I even spend some kobans to get maximum tickets & points - and I was wrong: there was one few levels below me who also managed to get maximum points, so he won because of lower level ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_shal_ Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) That's not how it works. The tie-breaker is who achieved the points total first. Edit: Too slow. Edited January 1, 2019 by _shal_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
