    Went into the last "sub" with ~88k and just now got 100k icon_e_wink.gif feels damn good since I put only like an hour or so into every sub starting 5 hours before it ended... hoping that this type of PvE continues from now on - it's so damn relaxing to start late, grab 1st in brackets and be able to finish in a good place (now at 3rd but I seriously don't care about baglady)

    So I don't need to keep grinding as much to keep her bagliness?

    Although, I don't think it would be me you'd overtake, but probably that Boom2 person in 2nd.

    Luckily last hours play on the last sub put me in top10.. Somehow I got a hunch those main nodes won't be what we expected, so I grinded the last sub hard.. Guess I was right icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Lol...no worries...looks like you're still in the party. But please, quit hogging all the beer!

    Hey Dave,

    Your old buddies want to know if you know which alliance is in 9th place!

    I know dead horse and all that, but my blood just boils when I see the players that are ahead of me... and see my main bracket leader's best possible roster for this event being: 40 She-Hulk, 40 Wolv, and 29 Bag-Man.

    That's right... Bag-Man. icon_eek.gif

    /sigh

    I don't even..... I'm done with this event before I blow a gasket over this. icon_evil.gif

    Oh yeah, that's another reason why I'm basically in PvE for the tokens and iso and not trying for the overall prizes these days, and only going for that in PvP. Competing against people who are absolutely not playing the same game as me.

    Really enjoyed these last 12 hours. I missed out on 100k but it's ok. No rubber banding at the end is nice.

    I said highest points first because those are going to regenerate the most in hour or so of grinding all the other nodes and he needs to milk every point out of it.

    As for your question, skipping around lets each stack refresh slightly (I think points go up a little every 5 minutes or something), but it's not likely to matter. Especially now that there's no rubberbanding the order is literally not important. I would give myself 1.5 hours to clear everything down to 1, and maybe just start with the highest points and grind each stack as it comes since you can get used to beating them like that. Should at least give you enough time grind down all the high point ones.
    It was a good suggestion, but I hit Dead Air right at 10:00 and ground it down to nothing as fast as I could, followed by the other right side nodes, and Dead Air still isn't at fifty yet. The 1000 points just isn't there, no way no how icon_e_sad.gif

    Clintman, Waytooeasy and 5 more people did the perfect entering magic: at very end of sub, I guess profiting from max rubberband. Then appearing in the last leg with 20k+ points so #1 without possible catch. (max points were ~2210x9).

    Rubberband was turned off in the main nodes this time -- what is a good thing as with even the lightest we saw people could have made like 90k points entering for last 12 hours only...

    Holy **** did this event screw me.

    I've been trying to play as steadily as I could, steady points, getting my refreshes done, needed about 7500 at the end, even a moderate rubber and would get me to 100k...and guess what? Random gameplay change.

    So i'm finishing with just over 99k points. No She-Hulk for me.

    Don't see the point in playing if the points/rewards are going to arbitrarily change. With no goal, and no way to know how the mechanics work, trying to plan for the long progression rewards is a **** shoot, and I should probably find better things to do with my time than the PvEs.

    Same :/

    I... it's not like I wanted the She-Hulk cover or anything, baka!!!

    (side question: why doesn't "tsundere she-hulk" turn up any good results on google?)

    Took first with a little over a 1k lead on second. Top five of us got the red cover.
    Overall a very nice and fairly relaxed event. Wasn't a huge fan of the noon end times on the subs... or at least I wouldn't have been if I had work this week. But the finish was very good.
    Don't get me wrong, I take advantage of the rubberband in the end of most events, as pretty much everyone on the forums does. But it's nice to know that while I could lose some places, I probably couldn't have been dislodged from top 10 if I went into the last 12 hours in first.

    Thanks to sleep (hello fellow Asians... and Australians?) I missed quite a few refreshes, woke up to #16 from #6, grinded to top 10. Came to work, saw myself at #14 with tight competition in place, #10 being more than 2000 pts away, and some nodes not fully refreshed.
    I decided to be stubborn - I was #1 in all subs, why would I give up now to some 2* rosters without a single maxed Punisher in top 10? Grinded like a madman, depleting some nodes to 1, got to #6 in the last 10 minutes and finished there.
    The event had a good structure and is the first in a while for me to get top 10, but hopefully the next one has a meh prize again. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    7500 in the last 12 hours wasn't to difficult.
