You cannot stop the essentials going up 1 or 2 lvls a refresh and the other high end nodes going up about 5 lvls. What you can do by normal wining - by this I mean you lose at least 1/3 of your total health pool - is to keep your personal scaling from kicking in. I know its personal since if I do TOO well on a node SY 9 will jump 14 levels. However if I only just win a few matches, by this I mean losing at least 2/3 of my total health pool, or even "lose" a few times with a "Z" team, just any old non levelled characters I can get it to lose those 14 levels again. This method normal goes out of the window later on in the sub or when I am 2/3 clearing before bed/work.

My only observation with this whole thing is, I guess Jugg nodes are ALWAYS purely community scaling, then

just crazy PVE scaling have big problem in balancing

The last node in the final sub - Magneto and Hood? Just as harsh as I remember them from the past few runs. Took quite a bit of effort to get through those two. Made it, thankfully, but it wasn't pretty or elegant.

Thankfully that sub is over for me, though that probably isn't the response you want, lol. That node ended during my final grind with Jugs at 27k health. I still went after Ares first since I still consider him more dangerous than Jugs. My team was XF (192), Loki (100) and buffed Lthor (200). Key for me was having Loki drain AP a couple times while taking out Ares to starve the enemy team then Thor Red to Thor Yellow and then XF SS to drain green as a big nuke on Jugs. I then got a few xforces off, still not enough to kill him but he was dead soon after. This also was used to take out Ares too typically.

It got a little weird since it seemed every other attempt had friggin Moonstone purple as strongest color. Just meant I looked for Match 5's for free moves with liberal use of Loki to shake the board. Sometimes takes a while but I only ran into trouble if Ares got rolling early.

Overpowered hood and magneto? Overpowered bullsA.I.D.S. everywhere? Should separate the men from the boys at very least and a fitting rotten cherry on the top of a cake featuring raw sewage as it't main ingredient.

Wow just finished the last 2 levels. I assume the people who designed them were bullied mercilessly as kids andthis is their passive aggressive way of dealing with it. Lmao.

P.s. thanks for the standard recruit token and 3x critical boosts.

Anyone else missing their 60 000 point reward Thor? I am well beyond 60 000 but no sign of the reward which was the only reason I played this PVE this far. The reward just stands there unchecked and nothing happens.

I have over 80k and got mine yesterday. I assume today the lite brite powered servers are just taxed.

I know the chance on cover pull is random but I swear if I get another:
Mn mags iron hammer
2* cap sentinel of liberty
Bullseye adamantine bones

I'm calling shenanigans.

That's weird. Take some screenshots and get a ticket in

So... I remember this working well in the very first run of Thick As Thieves. I punched way above my weight class and short-circuited the entire 2* transition to grab all those sweet Patch covers they had on offer.

Seriously though, congrats on a dominant win in our bracket. I am happy to have locked down top 5 without too much disruption to my life this weekend.

Congratulations, Xenoberyll of Lost Ghosts. You win.
I can't keep up with someone who apparently has slept in two-hour-shifts for the last 5 days.

Enjoy your extra Starlord cover, while I sit at work, rested after a full night's sleep, earning money.

Possibly, yes

I think we all need a break from PVE, gods.

Especially me! *lacking any self-irony*

Thanks for that. Looks like I only have to play over the lunch break to maintain top 10 in the sub and I might not even have to play many nodes to do that.

Do you have 4Thor? I'm finding that she makes that node easier than in the past (at least, post-Spidey nerf). But it depends on getting enough blue to stun and preventing the AI from getting cascades that feed blue and red to Mags.

Are you sure it's the player on Top who's to blame ?

I understand your frustration, but who created this situation in the first place ?

Who want people to fight to "death" to get new covers ?

Who released a 4* right at the end of a Season ?

It's time for us to find out who is :

Quebbster

Phone died with 15 minutes left in the brand new slice 1. I was around place 45 at the time. If I am very lucky I may still get a Starlord, but I'm not holding my breath.
Oh well, it was worth a shot.
