i think the reason for the bloodbath is the extra day because... before, with recharge, u can only go til 100 or so, thus with last hr rush, add a few levels, that's like 102-104. Easy to give up if you only used like 5 extra SW or so right?

By adding an extra day to cutoff, with recharge, u can go somewhere from 106 to 114, which means you already invested 1 each? from 101-114, 2 each for some levels, which is a lot of sw... when you use an sw, sometimes you get spare AS/DS which you use to fight the next level with less recharge time. I got to 114 during harlequin FH with just one level up to skip recharge.

I think it would be harder to give up if you already invested 20-50 sw instead of the 5 sw from before, right? You are already passed the point of no return... the only course would be to climb and spend more sw, else everything would be for naught.

Lesson i think is not to be stingy and just climb an extra 2-3 levels above cutoff with 1h left. incase people get crazy and spam a lot during last hr. Just monitor the cutoff and climb more according to your judgement. Adding to that, it's easier to judge if you are above the pack, rather than if you are spamming with the ones in 4k :D Plus, less stress :)
