I might be missing something, but 770 points on 47 wins and 2 losses sounds awfully low. The minimum possible should be 758 and that requires that the two losses brought no bonus points at all.

Yeah, it seems I somehow misread the patch notes, so 3 is minimum if you get totally thrashed and get no bonus. On the other hand it seems even finishing a win with more ego than you started with, by virtue of healing from reassurance, does not get you the over 100% ego bonus. Intentional or bug, idk.

TheSonicSly Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 So with the new system in place, it seems like the majority of players are opting to go with the Meta, Boosters. I never used any and held a top 4 spot (unintentionally) for most of the week but as I was aiming for 16 - 20th, I took a dip as usual. Gauging the score was a little tougher but there was a distinct pattern that can be followed to roughly guesstimate how many Fights are needed to achieve a certain position. The only real issue are the number of boosted opponents. It wasn't too big a deal at first but now that most are familiar with the Meta, I wonder how many more players will catch on and start buffing themselves Hulk Hogan style? 💪😤 Guess We'll just have to find out this Season! 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_shal_ Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) This was rather unexpected... Took more than double the booster usage that I used to use to get regular top 4's in D2 (5 rounds of boosting instead of 2, but still split about 50/50 between rares and epics as usual), but I guess that worked out well enough at a still reasonable cost. The annoying part was having to tank away about 400 kobans worth of tokens because I had no idea until the final hours whether or not I should push for the top 4 here, and I had to set up for 16th as a backup plan. Pretty nerve-wracking finish though - I was actually aiming for 3rd when I started my final push against the last 15 opponents with half an hour to go... The unlucky player who finished 2nd also jumped up (from about 6050 points) near the very end of the season, so I didn't manage to leave him behind me as I had expected. So much for my assumption that he was already done... I really wish we had at least some sort of indication how many battles other players have already completed. I do have a feeling I might not be able to duplicate this result again; this was a very weird D2 league bracket where nearly all the highest-level players were not in clubs at all and so had much worse stats than players of their tenure usually have. And then some others didn't really push hard - the guy who's just barely in view in 9th place was one of the few members of a high-caliber club and was arguably the strongest player. (Top level was the clubless 7th place finisher at 370.) Incidentally, the earliest finisher (on Saturday or Sunday IIRC) ended up in 5th place. The lucky winner was second to finish, on Monday. Onwards to another tanking season in D3...if I didn't stand much of a chance up there in the past, it's going to be much worse now with even more players boosting, so no point in even trying. On a sidenote: 30th place went away for 4964 points, just a hair over 16 points average per battle (309 battles this week), so if that keeps up it means that finishing 16th-30th in D2 should be virtually assured as long as you can beat most opponents and don't get totally thumped in your losses, even if you only pick up minimal bonus points in your wins. Edit: Incidentally, the classes of the top 6 were Ch / KH / Ch / Ch / Ch / Ch. Doubt it says anything though, other than that Charm is over-represented in D2 because the equivalent-level HC and KH players are all in D3 instead... And I suspect the winning scores here were some of the lowest in all of D2 this week. Edited August 8, 2019 by _shal_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habi Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) out of curiosity: what were the highest achieved scores in your leagues? here's top scores from my d3. i'm not sure if ranks 3/4 are final, the screenshot is from about 7 hours before the season ended. but ranks 1 and 2 were final: in my alt's d3 the final winning score was 6520, performed by a rusher. the 2 highest scores in my d3 were performed w/o rushing so it's good to see that rushing isn't worth it anymore (most likely).

Mine is gone, but from memory I can say No. 1 won with 63xx, no 2 also 63xx, no3&4&5(me) 61xx. So yes, I finished 5th again. 😭 Though this is less painful, it's where I ended up doing my best score. Not like last time when I was the 5th with the max score, but just too late. Net is changes nothing of course, I'm still fucked.

casey Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 finished 7th last season in D3 ..............the game runners have achieved what they have set out to do, which was forcing all the players in the league to be fully boosted for all their battles if they want to have any chance of finishing in the top 4 in the standings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer_X Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 With my usual luck, I fell asleep and awoke two minutes before daily reset, unable to spend all the tokens I had left, so, instead of missing just six battles, i missed 16. Luckily I lost only the experience, as this was not enough to pull me down one reward tier, as in the end I was at 28th place. My new Dicktator II started immediately as quite harder than the previous, probably due to the fact that players in the first week of the new scoring system has already realized that boosters have kept their power, to not say gained more importance. I will probably have to thank my recent club membership if I will survive in a decent manner from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelom Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 6037 points and 5th place, with only 24 hours with medium boosters. An unexpected good outcome, considering there were seven top players constantly or almost constantly max boosted. Only lost 10 battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zteev Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I ended up in the 20's, which is solid. I boosted only for about the last half day, and with commons & rares. I was able to eke out a few more wins that way, but basically was just trying to stay above 31st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSonicSly Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I ended up having to once again wait it out for a good 2 days straight to allow the others to catch up Points wise but when I returned and saw Myself in 24th place, I immediately did a Fight but only moved up by one spot. I did another and was instantly shot up to 14th, a couple hours before reset. 😨 I panicked for quite some time until someone heroic came to My rescue and knocked Me down to 16th, where I remained. The new system makes gauging scores quite difficult as some Fights can go a little too well and put You just over a certain desired position but not doing a Fight could result in a drop to 30th or below. I suppose the opposite applies to D3 eh? 😅 Either way, great Season and with the added buffs to most players' stats, I wonder how this Season will go? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaa Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 demoted succesfully on 87 in d2 and I thought I would facing an easy d1, but unfortunately a high level player (37x, 35x xxx ego) has sneaked in, probably placing on 15-30 and hoping to find an easy league next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
