Good Morning ... Welcome to The Start of the TIER 32 Battle Cycle.
Today's event features a pair of powerful gatling-style HEAVY WEAPONS. I was expecting a TESLA Global Event since we battled for a HEAVY just 2-weeks back ...
... this HAS happened many times before though. It could also be that GLU realized that the prior event's ASSAULT Weapons were so underpowered for the "previous" tier that ...
... they felt compelled to offer another SHORT RANGE weapon to compensate?
Only your hair dresser knows for sure. :cool:
None the less, this pair of HEAVIES are more than adequate to get the job done @ TIER 32 and beyond.
TOP 10: 32.5 ELYSIUM MKII HEAVY - 483,18B-739.81B - A Beast On The Cheap.
TOP 30: 32.5 PURGATORY MKII HEAVY - 402.65B-659.28B - We Don't Take Prisoners, Do We?.
The VIP Event Lineup:
@7,000 GOLD: 33.5 NEBULA MKII TESLA - 805.31B-1.32T - The Undisputed Heavy-Weight Champion.
@5,750 GOLD: 33.0 BULLDOG MKII ASSAULT - 429.5B-773.09B - Sweetness Supreme x2.
@3,500 GOLD: 32.5 DEKATRON MKII TESLA - 483.18B-740.88B - Overwhelming Firepower Giveaway.
@PARTS: 33.0 RAVEN MKII SNIPER - 429.5B-773.09B - "TIER 33 LR Standard Bearer".
There's a clearance event happening in The Store today; there's something for everyone at every level.
Here's a partial list. I encourage lower tier level players to pay a visit to The Store and browse around; grab the appropriate weapon for a great price.

Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
Personally, TIER 32 is a Battle Cycle that holds no real consequence for me until CKS Version 6.0 arrives. That said, I may grab a new weapon or two (to hedge), but it's not really all that important.
I've tasked LITTLE ME: go out and retrieve all of these diamonds while I spend most of my time in the vault sorting them by color and carat; eventually applying these towards upgrading "ALPHA-GOLF". :cool:
However, I will continue to monitor emerging scoring trends in light of the new subscription levels.
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
The landlord keeps banging on my door to pay my bill for Foxtrot!
Sure it's worth it if you're closing in on ALPHA-GOLF ...
... the 31.5 should present you with 80M-90M Diamond Vaults (average) easily.
Then again, you could wait it out and fight for one, but @ 240 GOLD why wait? If you're @ 75% or more on ALPHA-FOXTROT, I would recommend you go for it.
RANK #2: 13,046 AP (TERMINAT3R) ... Last week's champ gives chase.
RANK #3: 10,996 AP (RAJA00599) ... Settles into 3rd place behind the leaders.
RANK #4: 10,862 AP (KATAPPAAA) ... Right there.
RANK #5: 10,310 AP (DRONAA) ... A newcomer rounds out the TOP 5.
RANK #10: 6,646 AP (RAUF)
RANK #30: 3,442 AP (SALAMANDERACE)
RANK #68: 2,060 AP (SCORPION) ... Cruising along for diamonds. :cool: 86 Victories, No Defeats.
It would appear, after nearly a full day's scoring, that time spent actually playing the game is down but the scoring has marginally increased ...
... it's early yet, but I will continue monitor this event since I'm still expecting scoring to dramatically increase over the next couple of days.
Global Event Goal: Defense Base "ALPHA-GOLF" @ 50%.
Defense Base "ALPHA-GOLF" @ 31.25%.

Good Morning ...
I've noticed that CLAN ZWIFT (led by The TERMINAT3R) is adept at recruiting highly motivated newcomers ... KUDOS ... they usually falter going down the "back stretch", but they are motivated.
The scoring HAS picked up a bit and I've lost 12 Ranks overnight; not bad considering.
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
RANK #2: 21,746 AP (RED1958) ... Continues gamely.
RANK #3: 20,857 AP (RAJA00599) ... Zzzz.

Good Morning Agents ...
We're just past "halftime" with 1.75 Days Remaining in this Global Event and the effects of subscriptions have become crystal clear; I'll post an Op-Ed by the final "gunshot".

RANK #57: 6,585 AP (SCORPION) ... Cruising along for diamonds. :cool: 267 Victories, No Defeats.
There's an incredible bottleneck @ RANK #61; it took two hours to breach but it's not the "Great Wall" ...
... it's a whole cast of players who have effectively slammed on the brakes. Totally Unexpected.
RANKS #2, #3, #5 are all ZWIFT CLAN and have been asleep for 6-9 hours; even more puzzling ...
... it's as if everyone stopped playing for some reason.
I can't take this ...

The leader has regained his stride, but many have stopped playing altogether; in fact it's been more than a day since the original leaders have fought a single battle.
A concerted effort to keep their scores down, perhaps in an effort to fly under the radar? ...
... 2/3 of former leader-boarders were from CLAN ZWIFT and the infamous SHARPSHOOTERS.

Normally, I would overlook such activities because they're inconsequential in their nature, for the most part ... but this is really starting to get under my skin. Careful boys, I can only be pushed but so far.
Play, don't play ... score, don't score ... makes no difference because deviants are easy to track.

Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
The Darkstone makes an appearance.
Well ... the top posters; CONCERNED has moved on and BRADR752 has been otherwise preoccupied, but is still active. Actually Brad is on vacation riding his bike through the mountains of Utah, I think.
Both of these gents are dealing with real life experiences and I can't fault them for that, although they're missed.
How have you been lately?
Yeah, that seems to be the consensus amongst the veterans. Nobody has time anymore.
I do check in every 3-4 hours during the Weekend Globals, so you'll know where to find me ... for whatever that's worth LOL

Scoring is decidedly on the increase ...
... consider this; many of those on the leaderboard stopped playing for at least 24 hours.
Less than 25 PvP Victories separated RANKS #60-#90; a "photo finish" for the final parts position.
The increasingly widening and treacherous "donut hole" has claimed many lives ...
... it is swallowing all of those who score between 8,500-15,000 AP, on Google Play ...
(one of the largest casualty counts to date; approximately 35 souls perished).
A moment of silence please ... R.I.P.
The overall cost was minimal since I never came close to reaching "Battle Speed" ...
... SUBSCRIPTIONS have had a dramatic effect on scoring totals and The SCORPION unequivocally prescribes the same.
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
@3,500 GOLD: 32.5 BANSHEE HEAVY - 483.19B-739.81B - On par with this past Global's TOP 10 Prize.
@7,000 GOLD: 33.5 BANSHEE HEAVY - 966.37B-1.48T - This one is about 2x as powerful.
Boy ... this one has delivery mistakes written all over it, so let's hope for the best. :cool:
If you do decide to go for it, make sure you receive the variant that you "hoped" for.
On another note, I've been idly relaxing as me and another player share the lead with 106 VP; he got there first, so I am actually @ RANK #2 ...
... the problem is we've been sitting there since Noon and it's mow 02:20 PM EST.
Higher scores have an upside, as well as a downside.
Hi Scorpion,
I'm fan of your posts because its worth reading and very useful for quick updates and better understanding too for all new features and so.
I just found one glitch in your this post so thought to notice your attention. Here Rank #4 DRONAA is from TESTED clan, not from ZWIFT clan. I checked at that time of your post also and today also. He didn't change clan.
Anyway, that is not important. I'm eagerly waiting for 6.0 version. What's new coming in that? If any idea then do share it. I can see they gonna have new intels as per their posters but may be many more new updates.
Thanks for noticing ... I had reviewed the entire leaderboard later on and realized that DRONAA was NOT from ZWIFT but forgot to correct the post.
Doing so now ... I'm happy that you find my posts useful !!!
To RANK #1 "MOTO" and RANK #2 "EULENSPIEGEL" ... KUDOS for a great battle to the very end !!!
"BULLS3YE" ... I'll be watching you going forward; Great Run. :cool:
