Simulator - July 4 - 11

LavishDragoon

If the matches aren't that hard then you should be able to easily get the points, but you're running out of subs to get those points in. With minimal clears tons of points are available. I picked up ~38k pts clearing both subs 3 times in the last 10 hours. That's most of the 42k you need and you said that you're already at 21k. Shouldn't be much effort if you put the time in at the end of the sub.

Morgh, you going to let me have that red X force cover?....I have cookies!

Team Lazy Bracket is in effect big time.
There's a 30k spread between 1st and 10th in our main. It's sad and funny. And wonderful.

I'm really liking the teams in this simulator, and I'm liking that I can play as little or as much as I want, playing purely for enjoyment, and still come out with nice goodies (bagmen tokens).

Is it just my imagination or are they rotating the subs enemies? IIRC this newest hard subs' enemies are the same with last subs' normal enemies , and this subs' normal enemies are the same with the firs sub in this event?

could be I'm just imagining things.. Too much headbutt to the head LOL

I know cliches are fun and all but really, a bagman from event token?

Those are rare this time, you should feel special. Most of mine have been Ares.

But they're 'special' event tokens this time that give out 'special' rewards. Still, only 4.4% chance to pull Bagman (apparently) so well done you.

I see there's a whole 2.3% chance to get Falcon from his featured tokens so that's great too.

Yes, Normal essentials end up in the next Hard sub essentials. I mentioned it before and said that overscaled Venom/Spidey/Don node will be tinykitty hard (it was not easy on Normal already).

Edit: oh and it looks like the current Normal essentials migrated from the Hard sub's essentials, round 1. I distinctly remember that Ares/Juggs/Sentry combo.

Let's see... 2D12H, and I'm slightly under 20K away from the Sentry prize... Do I try for it?

I think they were one of the essential nodes in the first hard sub weren't they?

My vote is go for it!

I managed to finish 2nd in my group for normal in the last sub and in the top 50 for the hard but I don't have HT for the essentials this time so I'm going to take it easy. I have done amazingly well with the token covers this event as it is.

I'm only joining like at 8-5 hours before a sub ends and am playing only for sub placement due to ISO and HP rewards... amazingly it works way too well it seems ;D
I definitely am not going to chase you intentionally for the additional 1000 ISO that cover would mean to me - will also take a look and maybe slow down if possible before this sub ends and it looks like you need it

And most of mine have Moonstone

I got a Bullseye from my pack. I've already got him fully covered. Only 2* covers I need now are 2 red M!Hawkeye covers.

Alright!

I'll have to try going through Hard Mode during this run through if I want a shot at Sentry.

That is a bit like my main. I am currently leading on 80K and 10th is 25K back on 55K. I got lucky and pulled my last purple Lazy D from my 6 simulator to tokens. So there really NOT reason to get to 150K now.

I just about made 20K on easy in last sub just playing in the last 12H. If you can get a couple of hard sims done in the last hour they be worth a lot since the base points on the essentials on Hard are a lot higher this sub. Doing each one once in the last hour will probably net you 8 or 9K points.

does anyone have rubberbanding in their subs?

The normal has rubber banding at the moment. Hard still on the base values.

Easy: Yes, but extremely weak so far. Barely a blip on the radar (around 1.1x normal points).
Hard: Not yet.

There may just simply be a lack of participation at the moment to generate a significant rubberband (waiting on health packs to refill?). The subs have only been open for an hour.

Given the trendline needed for the 3rd round for Daken of 60k points, achieving 20k (one-third of that) should relatively easy to gain from rubberbanding alone by the last day.

There's a rather significant drop in round 2 compared to the projected average, but 50K in the last round should be quite doable even at current pace. It'd be easier if whoever is the usual leader actually started playing again. By the way, the general activity matters very little for rubberbanding. If you're not the new overall leader, the community doesn't care how much or how little you play because rubberband is only based off the overall leader. I'm guessing the usual leader just isn't doing the 'once every 2h 24m' deal which led to drastically lower overall points.

The easiest way to deal with those nodes is drop a World Rupture with Daken and preferably Falcon, and even Supernova is pretty good. Unless your opponent is X Force they almost always will do enough damage to make up for a World Rupture and quite often even a Supernova.
