    mischiefmaker, I had 7 healthpacks so wanted top 2 for the third sub, too - wanted to ask if you cared for top 2 and let you know, but you didn't seem to be online.

    Hit 90k overall and 39k in sub, which got me rank 6 in sub and 9 overall. Getting harder and harder to stay at the top while at work.

    Finished 7th in the sub and sitting on 81K - I'm going to end up irritatingly close to getting Lawyer Lady.

    I think rubber banding doesn't work at all in this pve, or if it works its effect is negligible. I missed the last 12 hours of the second sub since I was hooked with Divinity Original Sin and forgot about MPQ which cost me 6-7k points. I tried to catch up in this sub and despite getting #1 with 40k I still miss 3k for top 10. With the healing changes that game has become way more hardcore needing you to play every 3-4 hours, but with rubber banding also nerfed it's becoming really hard for someone to have any success. P2P all the way. And since they made yellow Sentry top 10 again I have no one to spend my HP on.
    Oh well, back to Divinity. What a great game compared to this @#$%.

    My nodes in main do not look rubber banded to me - no odd point numbers so its either of you main leaders or it is weak.

    Rubberbanding works great, but only for those that can play in the last hours.
    As usual.

    I agree, everything was round numbers.

    Looks like rubber banding is based on main bracket leader and not global leader. Oh well, guess this means my bracket leading 73k is going to fall short of the prize. It's a good thing I only ever cared about getting the Sentry covers anyway.

    We might be close to the global leader, though.
    I'm at 95K which can't be far off.
    It would be awesome if there was no RB though.
    Will give it half an hour before I make a clear, just in case points do change, though icon_e_wink.gif

    How's it going Sumilea? Where did this Todd Bridges come from to steal #1 in our sub? I finished sentry fight 30sec too late for it too count but we were 3 pts apart. That was close. Good luck on rest of pve. I think I can cruise these last 12hrs since I have a 22k lead over #10.

    Pretty sure there's no banding on the main nodes.

    At 94k+ after 1 clear and at those values still going to have to play pretty tight for that shulk cover. It's in range clearly just as long as I don't mess up.

    HailMary at 90k in my bracket may not be able to get there.

    At any rate locked top 10 I guess.

    If there is RB on these nodes it'd be like Prodigal Sun where you only get rubberbanding if you're already mathematically eliminated from contention.

    It looks like there's about 2K base points total? So you can do about 14K in 12 hours for doing everything (2K X 4 + 6K for final clear) and that's a pace better than what you could've gotten in a sub. I'm guessing if you had 90K before the sub ended you're in a good position to hit 100K.

    I'm currently at 68k in my lazy bracket where 10th has 56k, so I guess this means that I can peace out on the rest of the event since theres no chance that that guy is going to be playing optimally. I do miss out on a she-hulk cover for joining late, but this sentry cover security is more than worth it. Laziness ftw!

    Ooooh, yeah. Didn't even think about that. I guess that 10K lead on #10 should be more than enough without rubberband.
    Devs might have stumbled upon a good formula for points in this event. Still some points on the table, but not enough to invalidate the previous 7 days. I like this.
    Subs ending at a Euro-friendly time which lets us compete, and then no RB to make our possible lead meaningless.


    So, I got 9 tokens from the subs, plus the two progression tokens. Every single one yielded a 2* char.
    If I ever thought about buying event tokens again, this has forever cured me of that notion icon_lol.gif

    So I'm guessing you're not seeing any RB either? They somehow managed to set the base value of these nodes roughly inline with what you'd expect for a final sub, since the last sub I did about 10K/12 hours, and this could be up to 14K (would require insane playing but in theory possible) and that's consistent with the design of later events being worth more, without completely invalidating everything you did prior to that.

    Just a friendly warning, "Call Him Ragnarok" features the big fella and a couple of green feeding goons.

    The AI decided that a Sniper Rifle was the best way to go instead of Godlike Power for me but it has the potential to be much messier.

    And yet more 2* rubbish from event tokens - the only gold I've seen in the last two weeks was a black Loki icon_cry.gif

    I missed first subs bc of travel and RL so I got a later bracket and am #2 at 72k. Same base node values as everyone else so either no RB or its off your main so I wont see much if any.

    Anyone want to trade a bagman blue for a Moonstone purple? I opened two Moonstone purples and would prefer to have the triple liberty bell jackpot on the scratch ticket.

    I miss timed that mission also finished in about 30 second late. Oh well not that I ever pull anything good from the covers. I am thinking I not trying for top 2 and also just flop into top 10. Currently at 98.6K so one more clear will push me over 100K. I could use a few more IW covers but not like I can level her up.
