    I thought missing 2 full sets of subs for vacation wo u like bury me further than where I'd be viable for a yellow cover, but looks like I can get one, so that's kinda cool. It'll make my 2/1/0 patch suck a little less if he's ever buffed again... like maybe during the next pve. Patch+tinydaken? Maybe. My 1/1/1 L.daken won't help for that classic pairing.

    The next event will be Heroic so the chances of Patch and tinydaken being available is near 0. So we'll probably have buffed Patch and a motley crew of near useless characters.

    New York III can go to hell icon_twisted.gif

    Get a slightly **** board and you're toast - I just watched Patch, Daken and Panther get headbutted to oblivion all because I got a red saturated board.

    Paaainful.

    Juggernaut and the Hood together with a good board for the Hood and not for the player is just asking for trouble of all kinds.

    Whether or not it was worth it is irrelevant - I stuck with it and pulled off my first PvE win....It was worth it to me since I need the Patch covers, and the Fury is a nice trophy icon_e_biggrin.gif

    But 9 1/2 days is way too long of a grind.....
  • I can usually beat NY3 with Magneto/Daken/Falcon. You often have to kill The Hood with only strike tiles because you won't be able to get anything else going while The Hood is still alive.

    I boosted red +3 with HT and had good success. Usually a few red matches and hood goes down in a ball of flames.

    I never get anywhere close to the top 10. And this event I did it without a Fury cover. And wouldn't you know it, I pulled a blue Fury with the final tokens. What kind of tinykitty is that?

    The trouble there is a bad board full of unmatchable reds very quickly turns into 0 AP for you and a headbutt to the face.

    I missed top 10 in my bracket by 15 points. At least my tokens have been pretty good. I've gotten 3 Psylocke, Cmags, Hood, BP, and Falcon, plus my 13th HT cover from the progression.
  • Cant say it was a bad pve for me... got 4 Fury covers and a Black cover hulk.

    Out of 19 event tokens, I got 1 Fury and 4 3-stars. Add 2 Patch covers for Top 50 and the HT progression cover and it has been a nice haul for this transition to 3-star player.

    Well, this was a boring event. My Patch is cover maxed, and while I'd like to respec him one of these days, it's not a high priority, so I just couldn't work up the motivation to grind for 9.5 days. Ended up mostly farming a lot of ISO.

    And nothing higher than a ** from any of the event tokens. Meh. icon_neutral.gif
  • This event gives you a boatload of HP for doing well in the subs at a rate far faster than any PvP or any other PvE event and it's comparatively less grinding due to a lack of nodes. Now you still have to grind a lot because a lot of people are going for the 100 HP X 2 per day from subs too, but that's competition.

    The good kind. I picked up a minimum of 1 token per sub, plus the progression ones. Got a useless red psy, and all 2*s. Be happy.

    I got top 300 and I'm happy with that. Initially I set out to get the Red Human Torch cover at 80000 then I ended up getting it from a Token pull. Decided to just wait for PvP to get my last Yellow Patch, got it from a Token Pull. I also got my 4th Red Psylocke from a token pull as well. This PvE game me so many golds I needed without even having to bother with progression.

    I agree. After fighting hood many times I've learned the +ap boosts can sometimes be a waste. All your doing is giving hood ap to steal. Better to use damage boosts and target hood first. YMMV.

    I can't complain - two Furies (both purple), and useful covers for Bagdevil, Daken, CMags and Spidey. And a full set of Patch covers thanks to a 17th place finish I have no idea how I managed icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Useful in the "gottacatchemall" sense.
