    Tee hee! You know what I used next - it was very silly and I could have used a faster team instead, but I wanted to be nostalgic on purpose.

    Well we _did_ tell you to run away.

    It has been like this for at least half a year.

    Okay, the Smash and Grab node is officially a steaming pile of garbage. This is the third straight time I've been TPK'd by an insane cascade. Juggernaut does NOT need stupid luck of row after row of green dropping from the ceiling.

    joining 24 hrs later a shard to see you're put at # 716 in a neverending filling bracket.. leader 17 k ahead.. i can kiss good bye to top 10.. oh well.. since time slices are implemented they should have lowered the number of ppl by bracket (500-750).. one of the many good ideas poorly implemented by d3 as usual..

    17k isn't that much in this pve. I joined 8 hrs ago, down 11k from first - now I'm in first with 19k.

    If you're in slice 4, what time does the first sub end?

    The rubberband is pretty strong when you get close to the end of your sub. Another guy in my alliance joined slice 1 when my bracket closed, and made over 10k in under 90 minutes. If you can grind the end of your subs, you will easily make up the gap.

    The second sub is 48 hrs, so scaling/rubberband might have a bigger influence.

    I joined 16K behind with 7 hours to go in the first sub in slice 2. Should be interesting to see where I finish up but I am thinking of taking this one easy and only playing the last 2 or 3 refreshes each sub to flop into top 50. The difference in time required between 2 covers top 50 and 3 covers top 10 is normally insane.

    Is anyone else getting a lot of crashes in this event?
    I've crashed to desktop 6 times since this event started. One I just had basically ended my run. My guys were at about half health, had a really nice starting board...game crashed. Now my guys are too weak to fight and I have no health packs. There goes a potential 500 points in this event.

    In case anyone was wondering, 2nd sub is 48 hours.

    Human torch is still required for essentials and gets the big boost.

    Deadpool and storm replace cap and gamora as available 3*s, and 2* cap replaces mags as an available 2*. 1* mbw is also available.

    Edit: 1* Hawkeye got replaced, not 1* storm.

    I have to say, I've never seen an essential character quite so... essential before. In the first sub, there are 9 nodes (I think - I haven't unlocked them all). A full third of them require an essential character, and another full third are locked behind an impossible wall. That leaves 3 low-value nodes as your only option for grinding in the first sub, unless you have 3* Torch - which, since he's been vaulted - you don't, unless you've been playing for a VERY long time (relative to the life of this game) or happened to get top 15% in the ~2 day Deadpool event we just had. Rough event for newbies, and that's on top of the limited roster thing (which means if you don't have at least some of the limited roster - you are super screwed).

    seriously bad event for a silly new character. its almost like a vacation im putting so little effort into getting progression points and could not possibly care less about event finish placement.

    Interesting. Sub 2 lets us use Deadpool and Mohawk Storm along with Torch, Blade and Spidey. Could this be the devs way of making the heroics slightly more forgiving? Allowing a few extra heroes to chip in during each sub?

    Ya, I was seriously regretting not pushing the previous PvE event harder for the Torch cover once I saw that without him hitting even top 50 would be an insane grind. Thankfully I've got 94 Mags and CMarvel so I've at least got a shot.
