The rank does not matter. It's the point difference that you have to watch when aiming for certain rank on ladder. This is the first time that there was a lot of movements on ladder during last 1-2 hrs. I always keep watch during last hr of each event so i would say that a lot of ppl were pushing in this one than ever happened before. The point difference between 200th rank and 300th rank were lessen from almost 300 pts difference to less than 100 pts difference in 2 hrs. I didn't see the bottom of tier 8 but my guess is it is less than 150 pts from where I ended up.
You should see the fight for the fight for top 50... most intense since I played this game... From morning almost 800+ gap to less than 200 between the 40-50.... Tat is really intense considering 50 and 51 is less than 10 pts different...
Ya, Its like Miu is the exclusive item of the year. LOL.. The different to reach top 100 is already 2k from rank 200. 2 nights ago, i saw i was in 200 rank, then last night, boom, 408. WOW!! Lucky have the 100 energy, or else sure cannot make it also.
100 energies are given to all so if others only use that 100 energies to compete for ladder, they will pretty much end up at the same place when everyone use that rewarded 100 energies. For me, i leveled up on final day of ladder and got a lot of energies boost from wishing well and guild daily chest. So I didn't need to push at all on the last day. Just kept watch. I think i wouldn't have to watch so much if i didn't get hit by 'doing 7 story quests' daily task 4 days in total during the ladder period.
