TheLadder, if you need that green cover, I'll try to let you have it. I only care about my main bracket.

You can retreat repeatedly from goon-only missions at no real cost until you're almost dead, particularly when they're lending you a Patch. You know when a Tommy Gun is about to nuke your entire team, so save the healthpacks/cooldown grief and just ditch.

Anti-Gravity Device (OBW's blue) is pretty critical for these missions, since it can delay any number of countdowns indefinitely as long as you keep finding 9 blue. Her level doesn't really matter, but having at least four black covers makes a huge difference to damage output in combination with Patch/**Wolv's strike tiles.

If you don't have her, Bag-Man's purple and yellow can remove and delay countdowns, respectively. Moonstone is also good at removing special tiles, but questionable at best against Maggia because they're spammy and use at least two colors. Spider-Man or any other stunner can delay countdowns by stunning the owner.

That is nice and all, but it still relies heavily on luck, too much for my taste. These kind of games always have luck in the mix, but if this is where they are going, it makes me sad as I am not having fun at all. I do have OBW so I do try what you say (3/5/5) and it works, but not always. Then one shot down.

I understand that the last missions be top level and really hard, I like that, but that every mission is like that feels a bit too much of a pain to suffer, the game turns for the bad at that point IMHO.

I like Patch/OBW/Loki for the Maggia Muscle missions. Threaten seems to take priority over regular gunshots, so you can let a few go off and then use Trickery to become invincible. OBW is great in general because she can steal blue to ramp out a lot of AGD's. Doom could also be a good third, because he can turn all blue tiles black to help with matching, and his robots synergize well with strike tiles.

So yet another event rewarding deliberate losing. Will they ever learn that their matchmaking/reward gimmicks will always be exploitable?

Why not just have clear and transparent rules?

Hi Celerity - yes I was pushing to try and get that green cover.

Looks like we will comfortably be 1 and 2.

Only thing really annoying is forumite Psykopathic give me a real run for the money in the main-bracket

I see all the good people are in this main. #9 at the moment having played less than half of the missions in second rotation. I'll be happy with a top 50.

Nemek, are you pushing for the green cover on our sub-bracket? It seems like we're the only ones in competition now there, I guess

I wonder what will happen when we 70M intel points. It could unlock one mission in the main area + reset so we need to collect more to unlock next mission, or whether several missions in the main area will be unlocked together and no reset.

This event is the hardest fail they set up yet. On a level with the transmutation of Ragnarök into Bagnarök. The scaling is WAY off and I am not talked into yielding 10 times to make the enemies killable. One unfortunate match with enemy strike tiles and the team is down.
What a ****. I was even considering buying that Steam DLC to support the game but this is outrageous for me. Stuck in MMR hell in the PvP events (win a fight just to get back to the screen seeing I lost 100 points in the meantime) and now stuck with a unplayable PvE event. And the golden silence once again. I guess there will be posts around friday apologizing for the inconvenience and promising that they will 'communicate' better in future events.

Unknown

Well that didn't work.. I retreated 5 times and the levels went Up after the 4th retreat...smh...ok. I'll try a few more shortly or bitw the bullet last hour and do each 230 fight 2x.

Guessing you're correct. It will unlock more missions in the main event. I'm just hoping that Intel is dropped off by Daredevil

Really? That's weird, I don't understand how the rubberbanding works then. I've only done all of the missions twice each reset also, and I'm #1 in my main bracket.

Same here, 1st in my main bracket at the mo. Played through the missions last night and again when I woke up this morning. Expecting a third run through just before the end.

All missions are 230 x 3 for me, nice to see they are going easy on us this time around...

I think it's nice that the difficulty ramps up, but there's no way it should carry over between subs. New players can't even play through the story. Plus, it shouldn't reward you for doing missions in a different order than what's intended.

Unknown

Im #4 in my bracket but i dont think going to be moving much higher because i gurantee everyone above me can beat the 230's. They have about 200 more points than me.

Unknown

Who with me in my bracket? my nickname is Teh831... so probably you will see me in the top 10 name xD
gosh been grinding like hell... finally can get some sleep... gonna wake up after 4 hours to check if the point has raise a bit then i grind it till 1
even i didnt get the green cover in sub bracket... i pretty sure i can obtain the green cover for wol patch in the one army tourney xD

It seems the amount of health loss of your team is the actual factor that triggers the enemy levels to go down.

Was just fighting the thugs and somehow overlooked a tommy gun -- got like 3x2k hit, bagman arrived at 7 health LOL. (yeah, my first try of him, his yellow helped somewhat .

After that all mobs dropped in levels significantly (not noticalble on last packs probably sitting in 1000+ just capped on 230).

So we're being punished for healing up within the game or avoiding get hurt.

That's a very good strategy I bet Celerity. Those threaten tiles are super intense at 700+ each. Threaten + tommy gun = bye bye team! Haha!
