WWE SuperCard!

[fazzle]

Sheamus would make my first regular WM Pro, but that's never gonna happen as I'm not gonna play that much and Paige is gonna win in a landslide.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Yeah. I saw Nikki's stats are better in three categories but Paige is more popular and just for card variety, think it will clearly be Paige.

I did some pre-scouting on my brackets that launch in a couple hours. It looks like my first round opponent will be a bot named 'corndogs' who has an entire lineup of WM Pro Cenas. YES. His Diva is Paige, so if it energizes, as some of the bots use Assistant Manager, it beats mine...

 

[fazzle]

Woo, just made it to my first WM KOTR finals! Had to grind too much to get enough energy available for the first two rounds, so I'm just gonna let whatever happens happen in the finals. Hopefully the WM will make a pro

 

[Baby Shoes]

Congrats! Good luck with a nice reward. Keep us posted what you wind up with.

 

[fazzle]

Turns out my opponent didn't care about winning the finals either, and I came away with a 2-0 sweep! First WM KOTR win! My rewards were a WM Brock and a SV HBK. Neither makes a pro, but they're both really nice cards to get.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Congrats! Those are both strong. HBK was the last non-event SV card to last in my deck and the Brock card is helpful too. Hopefully you will get pros on them.

I am waiting for Round 2 to start but I am exhausted... I know I am going to fall asleep before I can fight for that finals appearance...

 

[fazzle]

I don't like having multiple pros of a single card, but they can give me as many damn HBK pros as they want

 

[Baby Shoes]

That's how it was for me before Survivor happened. I had two Legendary Rocks but they were too good to not use together.

Game 1 of 2nd round ended, of course leaving me pissed with the game. The 2 seed's best support is a SV Second Wind, which basically hands you Match 1 before leaving you short handed.

It pulls Bret vs Bret, giving him Match 1 but he used that and my SV Blassie going.

My WM Pro Eve beats his Fusion Nikki.

Match 3 they call a power match for my Seth vs his PCC Ryback. No idea how this weak deck guy has that Ryback but he gets Round 1 on me, so I definitely don't see getting to finals now.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Ended up winning my KOTR. Got WM Bray Wyatt, giving me a new pro to work on, as I had gotten the single in the Owens RTG. SV card was the classic HHH, which was the first time I've gotten that one.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Pretty sure I got to play against your deck in exhibition today, fazzle. Your name, SV Piper as champ.

I waited all day to join a night KOTR. Think I got in one with only one other human. We will see if someone is hiding but two games in, all but my match 1 opponent appear to be bots from names and avatars.

I lost Game 1 but it was one of those luck of the draws. As long as there are only two of us, we should both get to finals, which is fine by me.

 

[fazzle]

Yeah that's me. Piper is my champ right now because I'm still leveling up the pair. How'd it go?

 

[Baby Shoes]

My deck won 3-0, I think in part to bad decisions from AI.

I remember playing my Bryan against your Neville, my Eve against your Nikki and the last one was your Kane, which I think it was a speed matchup with me using Seth.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Looked at the top rank for PCC. Not even eight hours in and people have scores over 6000.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Latest check, first place is approaching 13,000 points. Over 3 days to go.

 

[Baby Shoes]

My Fusuion Chamber opened this morning and I was my first Cena. So I have had every card now, just need to pro Nikki and Cena still.

That KOTR I was in was one other human and all bots, so I got to second place and made finals with minimal effort. I was out during Finals, he beat me. Claimed that reward this morning and it was my first WM RVD. Gonna try to hit the sweet spot for starting KOTR that I have been with two straight finals appearances.

 

[fazzle]

My chamber just opened too, and it was my 4th Nikki. That also meant that I suddenly had a lot of expendable fully leveled SV single divas, so I was able to get her pro'd and leveled up instantly. Should definitely help my KOTRs if I no longer have to worry about giving energy to Nikki. I've still never pulled a SV Blassie from the Chamber, and I'm getting to the point where that's the card that I want the most, because not having one has really hurt me in spots

 

[Baby Shoes]

The biggest now that Mania tier is out is Blassie and Nikki. I was fortunate enough to get 2 Blassies early. The only card to throw me off was last time was a 3rd Bryan. After this next RTG, the SV Fusion will probably start exiting my deck but that elusive Nikki would still be my 2nd strongest Diva.

 

[fazzle]

Overall I've been really damn lucky with my divas. 2 Fusion Pro Nikkis, a SV Pro AJ and SV Pro (regular) Nikki as my RTG divas. Now if only I could get a WM Pro Diva. (or hell, any WM diva really, as my freebie Brie is still the only one I've gotten)

 

[Baby Shoes]

Brie is really good if you get the pair. My first SV pro was Tamina, which wasn't best but it was nice because I had it before a lot of people did. Until I got my WM Eve, I was going with RTG Nikki, SV AJ, SV regular Nikki and SV Eve.

The WM Eve was my second pity pull, just got the other in a pity pull following the Owens RTG. I had a got a solo WM Nikki from a KOTR some time back but as powerful as my main deck is getting, still feel pretty lacking in the Divas.

Still working on leveling the two Mania Brays I have. That will bump RTG SV Cena from my deck, leaving the three Fusion male pros (Reigns, Ambrose, Bryan) I have with all WM pros.

 

[starvenger]

Looked at the top rank for PCC. Not even eight hours in and people have scores over 6000.

So do people just have that much time on their hands or something? I was probably lucky just to hit 2000 - I'm stuck at a low SV level plus it was a nice weekend to be outside.

 

[Baby Shoes]

If you read some forums on the game and stuff, among buying tons and tons of the credit packs to buy the double point title matches, there are people playing around 20 hours a day and setting alarms to get up and do stuff, solely surrounding the game. That's why it seems insane to me. It was weird when there were only 5 people getting the top card but even the Top 200 seems crazy.

The person who got 1st place had 43.000. So if you even say he used title matches on all, that goes down to 21500. That means he played a minimum 2150 this weekend, if it was all 10 points and all wins. Given the title match price too, that's a hefty chunk of time and change.

Looking at the top leader board, it only let me see up until Rank 50, which was still 28,786.

I was rank 11,440 when I casually played and got 1635 points.

 

[fazzle]

Ha, we ended up right around the same spot. I was 11,115th place with 1672 points.

Meanwhile, my latest KOTR just finished the round robin stage and I'm in 1st place with a 42-3 record.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Congrats. Hopefully you can get another WM card.

I held off until the same time Saturday night that I've been entering. Have 5 people in mine. In 2nd place right now but one game out of first. Just hoping I can lock a first round "bot/bye" because some of the human players are still lingering toward the bottom seeds with good cards and I don't want to have to deal with the grinding until the meaningful matches.

Last night, just messing around I actually pulled a SV Nikki Bella. I already have the pro, which is the weakest diva in my RTG deck, so a 2nd pro wouldn't even help much. Just surprised because I don't pull the SV cards too often anymore.

Getting close to leveling the 2nd Bray for my WM pro. Hoping I can get him strong enough to crack the RTG lineup at least. Once he is ready my low male card is the Fusion Bryan.

 

[starvenger]

OK, stupid question, but how can you tell if someone in KOTR is a bot?

 

[Baby Shoes]

Not a bad question, I never knew about bots until the SV tier and not sure how they work in anything below there. I had a hard time figuring them out at first but I found a pattern.

In the SV tier, the bots all had a SV Rock pro avatar.

The bots usually all have pros that don't energize and default to the highest level card. In SV they had all Rock and AJ cards.

For WM, you see a little more variety but it is typically a WM pro avatar that isn't an event card or something. There are a variety of characters. They are starting to have more and more Cena avatars, as Cena is the "Rock level" card in the Mania tier, with Paige being the AJ equivalent.

Usually the names seem really generic too. Like, I always run into a bot called RealAmerican. It has the Paige avatar although the last time I played it in my current game, it ran a Paige, a Cena and a Cesaro, so it isn't a "maxed out" bot.

I had one before that had all Cenas and the name was "corndogs". Wrestler names are common. My current bot field includes one named RandyOrton (Yokozuna pro avatar) and JOHNCENA (Ted DiBiase avatar).

More often then not, if you are in a bot heavy one, your human competition tends to either be front or back loaded. Last game, I was in a bracket with only one other human. They were Match 1. 2-15 were bot competition.

My current one has five humans. I had a Match 1 bot (which somehow carried a boost into game 1 and made me lose...) but had humans in Games 2,3,5 and 6 (I am the fifth human).

Bots will never have event cards and always have a pro in your tier. If you have someone using a lower level card that was cool, or a special card, or a non-pro, they stick out. My human competition has a non-pro WM Brie avatar, one of those Throwback pack Jimmy Snuka avatars and a Kevin Owens RTG pro.

I use my WM Pro Stardust, which with my name, makes me a little ambiguous. One of the other humans is doing the same, with a name that could be a bot and using a WM Pro Yokozuna avatar (though they had been using Barrett at the start, bots tend not to switch, although he has already been outed, he may throw someone off that isn't paying attention).

 

[starvenger]

Very informative. Thanks!

 

[Baby Shoes]

No worries! Hopefully it helps some. Since I figured it out, it has helped me save energies and strategize a little better. Like I said, a little tricky watching at first but now it is a no brainer, outside the occasional person trying to trick. I never was lucky enough to get a SV Pro Rocky but I know when that was the common one, people were masking their profiles with that as the champ to fleece people at least once a game.

 

[fazzle]

Well shit. I swept my way through the QFs without needing to boost, but I'll be very unlikely to advance to the finals as my SF opponent has a tag team I can't beat and a WM Pro diva. I'd need there to be two singles matches all the time, and for them to luck out in my favor.

 

[fazzle]

Sure enough I got swept in the semis. Got long hair HHH and Stardust as my rewards. Both singles.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Well, makes good feeder. HHH is solid outside the speed. Maybe he can hang at bottom of your deck if you get another.

I have locked in two seed in mine and should get a bot in first round. Game 45 launches in close to half an hour. Waiting time begins.
