_shal_ Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) That was easy this week. The 7th place was the highest level in the league and KH, but without a club, so he never stood a chance. #3 was the second-highest and also KH, but didn't boost a whole lot. The second-place finisher (also KH naturally) actually rushed during the first 24 hours...you can probably tell that it was a pretty soft competition given that nobody outside of me managed to top his score with proper play. Very weak bracket overall, too, as reflected in the high scores - no top 4's with 6300-odd points here unlike my last few D2 appearances. My real score would have even been 65-70 points higher; one player in my league got banned, unfortunately before I had fought him, so I ended up three battles short of the full slate. Second time already! (Also happened only 6 weeks ago in another D2, luckily without preventing my victory there either.) Tanking time in D3 this coming week, of course.

Zteev Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Congrats on the win. My D2 last week was harder than usual, couldn't make the top 30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelom Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 This week I could manage only to get second after BenBrazke (congrats for the win). I made 6919 points (22,83 average), but was beated by his 7011 points. It Is curious that the three best averages I have obtained since the point system was established have ended in second places, and I have got five victories in league with lower averages. So in short, you need about 22,5 points/battle as a minimum to win, but can be over 23 to secure a first place. This week I have no excuses as I am the top player in my league and I expect to win. Let's see in 7 days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Slynia Posted November 14, 2019 Moderator Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) I ended up with an overall weak bracket and managed go get 23.09 in average score. So yeah I won again this week 😄 I had 200+ points down to 2nd place last I checked (3 hours before league reset), which was Chthugha. This week however I am with TK.. I have already given up all hope on a win. XD Edited November 14, 2019 by Slynia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DvDivXXX Posted November 14, 2019 Moderator Share Posted November 14, 2019 I suppose the previous week was just a particularly weak league for me. This week, I didn't struggle to avoid promoting at all, I played from behind until the last day actually. I still managed to climb to #18 in the end, with just a couple of days of boosters, so that was good. And this new league seems similar. So I think I'll stay in S3 for a bit. I'm not in a rush, and being the lowest level player in a league isn't fun, so D1 will have to wait for me. ^^ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casey Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Didn't go all out last season............i don't know why.............ended up in 3rd place, which was good..........i couldn't of beaten the top player as he was 140 points better than me anyway. This season, i'm in the same league as Chthugha and i'm experimenting with a different booster strategy i'm on the fence if i'm going to go hard or not ............. after all it is expensive in regards to using strong boosters and there are 6 players (including myself) @ level 397 or higher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy86 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Last season I had to try really hard not to get promoted; since I didn't see a good chance of getting in the Top 4, I decided to wait a bit longer. It seems things are going according to my initial strategy of going for D3 towards the end of the year. As a charm player, I'm aware I'll have to improve my stats and get a good amount of legendary boosters; in both cases, it means spending quite a few kobans, but I expect it to pay off. In any case, as always, the goal is having fun. Seeya! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer_X Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Situation is still stable in Dicktator II, with a 18th place in the last one. The new one seems quite animated, with a lot of boostered people and the first (as far as I remember) player over level 400 in a Dicktator II league (at least one where I am in). Up to now no one rushed (at least not to the end), but while I write this I am 14th with 651 points while the 1st has 977, 50% more in less than 15 ranks, which makes me consider this league as a lot harder fought than those of the past few weeks. I am curious to see if time will disprove this initial appearance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get to 16-30 in D3 advancement flatlines. All of 5-30 net pays about the same. Only the top 200 players can compete for 1-4 and they are un-catchable. (There are about 100 1-4 places in the game.) I am not whining. That is just the way the end-game is. The end game is MUCH better now than it was 1 yr ago. As I have opined elsewhere the 1-4 rewards in both D2 and D3 are too juicy and should be nerfed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that keeps me going is the 'gold" at the end of the rainbow, which is winning a league .............the story line has become to paint by numbers for my liking and the affection scenes with their overemphasis on anal sex is not my cup of tea.............. i also think with the availability of purple boosters has this opened up the possibility of lower level players (level 385+) to finishing in the top 4 places ............players can also alter their style of play so that they level up quicker..............lastly success is tied to financial commitment ( the rich get richer) expenditures can enhance a player's ability to compete. ............. if your a free player than you just need to understand that this is the way it is 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHarry Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I'm in a much tougher league this week, so even top 15 will be a battle. Still, I'm confident I can. I managed a fantastic 3rd in a D3 once. That was great. Nerfing is a bad idea. Just sweeten the deal for the whole of the top 50/60 of D3 by doubling the prizes. Sure that nobody will purposefully demote again if 2x p40 or something nets the same kobans as 1x p2-4. I mean, sure someone can do the math better than I quickly did, but if you have a reason/reward to remain in the highest tier at all costs, that problem will go away. And how is it unfair for lvl 300-350 that they can't win D2 because of lvl 380is players demoting and going for that? Isn't that just as 'unfair' as those lvl 380ish lvl players in D3, where the same people over 400 take all the loot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman22 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I decided to try for 1st in D2. I was 300 pts back but I suspect the leader had done some refills to get that lead and I had front ended my toughest fights and had accumulated a few missed tokens I could buy back if needed. I boosted the most I ever have. 3 x orange + 1 purple cordy. I am currently sitting 43 points back of 1st and the last change I saw in the leader was only +18 so either a single poor fight or 3 bad losses. No way to tell. If they have 10 banked tokens and all winnable remaining fights I am too late. If they have no banked tokens but they can do 23+ pts/fight I am too late. Exciting. I need a cookie.

KH's skill is WAY stronger in the league, so unless they have like 10 levels against you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelom Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) I am back in the winner's side after two weeks in second place. I won my D3 with 6874 points, a good mark.

By the time I get to 380 (Just made L370!) 6 x 4 x purple will no longer do it. The log jam at the top of D1 continues to grow. My trip to D2 was very successful. I thought I had dithered too much and left my decision to try for 1st too late but I ended up 1st by a good 300 pts. About 6700. Turns out the leader had burned his doables early and done some refills so he tailed off badly and ended 3rd. The 50 combativity pts ended up getting me only 2 shards on Keiko <sad trombone>. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_shal_ Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Bad demotion scores in my D3 bracket this past week. The highlighted player held the last non-demotion spot. And he inexplicably only jumped up into that on the final day - prior to that the bubble boy was Meliodas with his 582 points, which was a really depressingly low score. Still, less than 13k XP for the week. No idea about my new D2 yet. I'm one of five players who have won there before, and not the strongest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
