    Formation snapshot is the formation the the player had when they moved to 1st or 2nd or for any arena battle after that. I am not sure if the last arena battle is used of the highest power one. Have not tested that. As far as what player is on HP I am not sure when that snapshot is taken. I can tell you that it is at least after GW.

The teams used for world bosses are very different than those that are optimized for PVP, and if someone wanted to wait and steal an arena slot just before ten by attacking someone's cerb team, they easily could.

    This week, in Heaven Palace, I see my Cerb team instead of the team I wanted to put there. Did the time of the "snapshot" change, because I have never seen a world boss team, from myself or anyone else, show up in the Palace, since it's supposed to be a PVP event it's really silly to take someone's team from a world boss event. It does make a modicum of sense to lock in arena teams from the time that rewards are locked in for the last day, the problem there being that time doesn't make sense in the first place with respect to the Cerberus event.

    Did anyone else notice unusual happenings setting up for Heaven Palace? Many players on my server (6) did.
    its random.. sometimes its the last won arena battle sett up hen its baal/cerb then its last heroic boss beaten sett up

    All the speculation on time of shot varies widely, and so does the actual time it is taken. This week I was in 2nd, but 1st place changed quite late in the evening, the last 1/2hr before reset in fact. It changed hands many times, quite the battle over it. Then I tried to move out of 2nd, let someone else in (successfully btw) but what got in palace is me in Banish form!! and the guy who stole 1st but didn't stay in it. Go figure!!! and I had changed from my banish form immediately following the event, and stayed with normal til past reset. I think every one of our specualtions is wrong, they took 2 pics yesterday, or who the hell knows.. LOL

    after reading the many threads on this and in another forum I would have to assume that the snapshot was of the formation used when you were last attacked, or did your attacks in arena, whether you were in boss formation, or reg formation, on Friday after the arena rewards but before 10 pm. just as a summary. will check it out this week to confirm.

    I am inclined to agree with you. I was going to try to test this theory this Friday but I am a little reluctant to do it because if it is nor correct it will put up a very strong player in HP. I can and will do a partial test by having a low power player move up to first or second powered down. Then power up somewhat and attack some one. Power down again but on a different formation and attack again. Repeat the process with some one attacking him instead and the and power up. Since the formation will be slightly different in each case I will be able to tell when the snapshot was taken.

    What will not be tested is what happens if the player was in 1sr or 2nd since earlier in the week or since the prior Friday. I could do this by having the weak player be there all week, but with the insane reputation requirement to make Marshal I am not willing to give up 1st place for a whole week and the 2nd strongest player in the realm is in the same situation, of course.

    Is server 1 the only server that actually leaves all players at full power and you actually have a challenge in HP

    the whole server bitches up a storm when people don't power down... maybe this should not be allowed

    Server 1 does not power down. Sure sometimes a person may but an easier to beat form in or forget to change forms and they have their banish form in. But we dont drop down to mains only so the whole server can run to 100 without a boost.

    Server 1 is special because it has all those high power players that do not want the noobs to catch up. In server 7 we are willing to help the noobs do some catching up. By the war, power down does not mean to go down to one naked hero. Some of the players power down to 3 heroes and no sub to give more players a fighting chance.

    Well no comments from Dawn, reflects that Tynon don't want to tell the actual time situation
