PvE nodes used to lock after getting all rewards?

I stopped playing 3 months ago and just started again 3 weeks ago. I just noticed today that PvE nodes don't get locked after receiving all 4 rewards (green checkmark). My alliance members claim it has always been like this, but I clearly remember them getting locked.

I hate to start a thread about something this silly, but I would like to know if I'm experiencing false memory syndrome here. icon_e_surprised.gif

BTW, I'm really enjoying the game again. No more brackets of death (at least not yet).

I do find it strange that they nerfed spider man and magneto yet introduced Sentry. He seems to be a lot stronger in pvp than either of them.

    I never remember any node locking when you got all the rewards and I've been playing 10 months...some nodes do lock when you complete them once the red check mark.

    Thanks for the quick reply. Although this news is quite unsettling.

    Could a mod please delete this thread.

    Only certain special story nodes lock, and they lock after ONE time of beating them. Every other node with four rewards never locks. Don't worry about it. And don't ask to delete the thread either! Someone might google this question and find your post. If one person is unsure of something, you can bet in the entire world, there are going to be more.

    Usually the nodes that lock are more of the 'showcase' nodes where you have almost no chance of losing so they don't want you to just repeat it for easy points. Of course the policy is hardly consistent there but if your teamup guys look way overpowered, don't expect to be able to repeat that mission, at least not for points.

    OP, I know exactly what you're talking about (so no, you aren't crazy). In the Prologue, after getting the four non-20 ISO rewards, there's a green check mark added to the icon. In the Event PvEs, I believe that the same thing happens, or at least it does on The Simulator, which is the only PvE I come close to exhauating nodes on anymore. It's possible that a change was made ages ago, since I haven't purposefully gone for all 4 prizes in months, but you can check the Dark Reign chapters right now and see green checks (if you've gotten all rewards).

    Green checkmark tells you that you got all the available awards (and you can still repeat it). The red checkmark means you cannot repeat the mission, regardless of whether all the available awards are taken or not. In fact in a lot of these missions it is not even possible to get all the rewards since you can only play it once but there are more than one rewards. The red checkmark is usually only seen in the first mission of an event or a particularly easy teamup node where you're handed guys who can't possibly lose the mission.
