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.

What change? In the last leg you could make 19k+ points with full play, and 15k reasonably. There wasn't even rubberbanding so it was really easy to calculate.

So after the last sub event, when you're thinking at the end of the phase the nodes that are 200 or so will be worth 600, like they are in every freaking event ever, and suddenly everything is capped at 400. Its the sudden "oh, no rubber band here" that did me in.

Its the sudden "oh, no rubber band here" that did me in. I really don't get it. RB is the thing that does people in, invalidating most of the previous work, the lead they made in subs. If there is RB and you stop grinding, you can be overtaken easily unless you are the global leader. Especially the 10-ish positions become shaky and all the interesting one below that. Without RB everyone makes the very same point for the same play -- you can calculate ahead and either play on or watch others to move. Also this time half nodes were goon-only and those were really the high value ones too. Playable easily with little risk. You could just skip the two top nodes with bigger DAs and rag if scared -- but with 2.5h gap even if some problem happened you could be in full shape.
