    Who's got 2 thumbs and accidentally chose a slice that doesn't start until he's at work? THIS GUY!

    Blurgh, and I needed those Thor covers, too.

    So far, I'm satisfied with the 8 hour refresh nodes.

    It gives time to reload health packs and play the PvPs and LRs when there are. And even SIM.

    That's a good pace, and feels MUCH LESS boring than it used to be.

    There are many nodes on the first clear, but many are not repeatable so the second clear will be faster.

    I just hope we won't get the 20 Iso rewards when we don't get the 1/4 reward. Because we won't do enough clears to get all the rewards otherwise.

    Anyone can say something about the 20 Iso rewards ? I'm not in the first slice, so my nodes haven't refreshed yet.

    As a newer player who has not had the luck of receiving LazyThor, I will definitely be working hard to hit top 10. This will be my first time in The Hunt. Is it really as painful as people are saying? lol

    Tired of this stuff. NOW EVERYTHING IS GONE and have to go to work meaning everyone else will get a full nod refresh on me and not a single thing will be done about it.

    Yup, same with me. Couldn't connect to facebook, sounded like d3p team need to get a check and speedy fix here...
    Oh well, and quite drowsy already, wanted to finish the whole nodes before sleeping... icon_rolleyes.gif

    Wow, 'Returning Home' node (the very first one in the main event) really shows just how poor Squirrel Girl is with a star.pngstar.png roster.

    I had to go with the default options:
    * 93 Gamora icon_gamora.png
    * 204 Squirrel Girl :squirrelgirl:
    * 93 Rocket and Groot icon_rocket.png

    versus

    * 100 Ares icon_ares.png
    * 100 Analyst
    * 100 Daken icon_daken.png

    Came within 500 hits of losing the fight. :-/


    Compare that to the previous event with Blade, Human Torch and (who-ever was third) - which was a complete romp (and so much fun to watch Blade "thirst" trigger every turn).

    if you have a small roster your not going to get top 150. Since two events running at once. People go WOOO 8 hour refresh yea that only is for people with major roasters, Those with little still have to check back every 2 1/2 hours cause you will run out of health packs, meaning you will always be behind

    Say it starts at midnight and all events are open. with 8 hour refresh

    player 1 with major roaster will play all and get done at reopen all at 8am
    Player 2 with a lame roaster will beat the first stage at 1 am have to wait till 3 am beat the 2nd part at 4 am meaning you cant restart stage 2 until noon


    Meaning every refresh your going to be 4 hours behind way to crush the new players once again

    So what's the strategy now? Run the nodes once every 8 hours for maximum benefit? Or is there another way to go?

    Initial scaling on Florida sub is way too high, 4 hours into the sub only 6 players in my bracket have competed it

    yes, until youre within eight hours of the event end and then grind everything 6 times or until youre out of health

    Huh. Feels weird doing a swipe through then waiing 8 hours.
    Well that fits into my work life a bit better. And sleep. Just feels weird not leaping on every 2.5 hours. It's good though, I can do other stuff without breaking up my day every 2.5 hours.

    If only we could actually do a clear and wait 8 hour, or 7 in this case, since it takes close to an hour to clear. But Florida is about to open less than 3 hours since my second clear of Alaska. Such an odd choice for the Hunt to be the one they "test" this new refresh on.

    I only had time to do half or so of Florida over lunch, but it looks like a lot of the nodes - I think all but ~5-6 of the ones I cleared - were non-repeatable. So that should make it more manageable.

    Request: With the change to 8 hour cooldowns: Please remove the cooldowns from nodes that have never been hit!

    Example:
    Under Attack sub:
    I hit the first node (The Chariot, I think) which unlocked the three "essential" repeating nodes.

    Did the three essentials, then took a break.

    I just came back at lunch and the single hit node "Call Him Colonel Fury" has a cooldown timer?! Why ??!


    [edit] Hmm, maybe just a display issue? After typing the post, I noticed the cooldown timer had gone away (point value 100 unchanged). None of the newer nodes I've unlocked have timers...

    Has anyone else seen this behavior?

    I've gotten 'surprise cooldown timer' before. Try force-quitting the app and restarting it.

    So our new every event fun game of try to guess when the subs run. The Hunt runs for 5.5 days or 132 hours. Subs typically run for 36 hours and overlap.

    132-96 Alaska
    120-84 Florida
    96-60 The Jungle (or whatever the third one is called)
    84-48 Alaska
    60-24 Florida
    48-12 The Jungle
    12-0 Main Page???

    Does that seem to line up with what is currently available in slice 1 (currently @114 hours) or recent history? Thanks.
