Iso 8 Brotherhood - Feb 12 - Feb 17

Unknown

This PVE is absurd..
first you have increased the time between a fight and the other one to 8 hours .. and now you make a PVE with 12 hours between one sub-story and the other one ????

Last time it run it had bugged (non existant) scaling and 100HP for all sub rewards. I think I scored 2000HP for entire event by playing like madman and getting t2 or t10 in every single one. For 25hp though is like... whatever. And overleveled Ares + 2 green feeders and it's not even worth health packs. At least it's still somewhat good Iso-wise.

Doing my repeatable main PSA: the moonstone node at the top of the main can be played throughout the event. Usually feeds me some extra points that not everyone remembers on full clears. Can add up over a four day event.

People complaining about 12 hour nods with 8 hour refresh. remember your the ones who demanded the 8 hour refresh rates.

ALSO whats up with the lack of rewards. Always been top 50 get HP and usually 50 hp now its just top 30 get 25 HP. The AI is ranked up so freakng high already its a joke (highest person i have not boosted is 84 the goons are already 150)

good luck think your going to earn a deadpool daily reward easy

what sucks is im guessing the daily reward is going to take the place o the normal pve

The 8 hour refresh is the only thing that makes the 12 hour subs manageable. If there were three hour refreshes, I'd fall a refresh or two behind most subs. This way, I only start like a half-refresh late at worst. I hate 12 hour subs, but these will be the least bad ones so far, thanks to our wonderful new refresh rate.

only helps people with massive teams. people with small teams once again get ripped and ripped big time this time. first nod will be all tied , 2nd refresh it will be whoever has the biggest team and most money to rebuy health packs will win this .

At least with 24 hour or 36 hour nods people with smaller teams had a chance but with 12 hour good luck.

No one who asked for longer timers in PVE also said, 'and please jam them into double 12-hr subs!' No one. Not even once.

Its still better than 3hr refreshes, as obnoxious as the format is. If you are going for top rewards, hitting everything perfect might be a little harder, but as Ben just pointed out, staying in placement to get the 3* reward should be easier since grinding out the end of the sub is worth like 85% of each sub's points, as opposed to where its worth 60% or less depending how the length of a longer sub.

and thats the point someone with 20+ good people can grind these to 0 on the last play though..
say midnight start to noon

hit midnight hit 10am play till grind till 1 pt

Someone with say 5 -7 good people good luck playing to 1 pts with 7 people


hard node rank 3 to 74th are tied with 2040 pts if this was at the end how would they pick who was top xxxx since 71 people all have the same pts

Who doesn't love Ares with two green feeders. Oy! Where's The Hulk? Hulk! We need you to take it in the face for a few fights. Get in there, bigguy. What? He's still recovering from the last time? Cap Marvel, you're up!

I love playing an overscaled Ares, therefore I feel that fighting overscaled Ares must have given me some sort of Stockholm syndrome. Now if only I could get 2 goons on my side of the board in BoP. heh

Just ask D3 for a villain + goon PVP tourney

squirrel1120

I'd ask, but considering all my questions and pleas about the 2* -> 3* transition were generally ignored or explained as 'working as intended', I'd assume anything I/we ask for will generally work the same way unless its already on their agenda.

That... and a pvp tournament with goon feeders on both sides would be just as miserable as Starfall just was. ugh.

yeah their communication is MIA, but at least we have deadpool daily which hopefully does something...

PS: I'd do anything to have 2 Muscle + Character on my team in pvp lol

Are there progression and placement rewards for subs or placement only?

Also, is there a listing like the op that shows reward structure for them? Trying to decide how early to jump in.

Placement only. You need top 30 to get 25 HP, top 200 to get an event token. Top 50 get 1000 ISO, top 100 500 ISO, below that it's not worth the time typing it out.

Thanks Moon Roach!

So Nigeria seems to be really, really overscaled. Or maybe its the fact I've never really done anything besides essentials for the 'hard' subevents of this event. Plus the fact last event scaling was broken(IIRC)?

I have Nigeria 3 at level 322 which I thought is incredibly low, though I did get Thor 4* to deal with the otherwise ultra nasty combination of 1 villian + 2 goons which Thor eats for breakfast due to Power Surge. Going to be able to do 6 stacks on everything with a decent amount time left to spare in just 4 hours.

Nigeria 3 is at 209 here after the first clear. Forgot to note it's level previous to running it. 13 levels more is pretty miniscule in relation to the added power of those 4*'s. You get to not be punished for your leveled roster this time it seems.

One time in a row, amirite?

Although with all the boosting and TU's I used at the end of the last relevant event to try for the very few and far between Xforce, my scale may be up a bit. Nigeria 3 wasn't too hard at this level, but I'll probably try to hit it every few hours instead of trying to do a 6x in the final hours. Too much possibility of the RNG gods ruining a good run with overscaled ares +goonies feeding.

1) Play once at the start of the sub, and then grind the nodes at the end.
or
2) Play once at the start of the sub, once 8 hours later, and then grind the nodes at the end (which will not be fully refreshed).

Is this still the best plan of action?
