    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.

    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!

    Yeah thanks for the tip. I was using Patch/OBW/Hood so even better.

    Edit: and there is only a marginal difference between the hp of a 90+ hood compared to a 60ish loki icon_e_confused.gif

    I wonder if we'll actually reach 70M to trigger Daredevil or not. With these levels so high and not re-setting between missions the player pool is going to shrink considerably. Only a handful of players will reliably be able to generate points. If this gets too difficult then I worry there will not be enough players to trigger the community missions. Then again as we all know math is not my strong suit so I could be very wrong.
  • If Bacon Pants is in the forums... Wow you shot up to first from nowhere!

    We're halfway there only two days in, right?
  • Noob question here: Is there a way to reliably get the enemy to show you the actual points you will be awarded for fighting their team, or does it always just show the last points they awarded you when you last fought them? It's pretty annoying to take a break then try to remember where you were at, beat a team, and get one point when you were expecting 20.

    So glad I waited to join after work.. I have not grinded any mission and just played 5 out of 7 curreny sub missions but did do a few 230s 2x and have not played for last 8 hours roughly and I still sit at 26 in main and 14 in sub. I'll just do my 2nd near end and see where that gets me. If this was 1 bracket I would easily be in the 3000 and beyond range.
  • It updates every few minutes. In some cases you can trigger it asking for top10, but not reliably. If you want to make sure, you shall exit and reenter. icon_e_sad.gif

    But you can count instead: every mission has full point, half point and 1 pt as you play, so if you played the 2nd it is at 1 for sure. Until resets.

    Interestingly, until yesterday, I had never noticed a mission display an incorrect value after I completed a different mission, then gone back to check. But that did happen yesterday, where one I had done twice still showed 90 points.
  • holy **** is this pve hard :/ started the second sub and every mission was lvl230. getting completely blasted off the main and sub bracket lists :p.

    Did you just now start the sub and they are still 230? Or did you start last night and just now comment?

    Thanks for the quick reply. Does exiting and entering reliably work? I thought it didn't always. What about completely closing the app?

    I don't know that anything is 100% reliable but my method is to do 1 mission from beginning prologue between matches if I'm unsure.

    Also seems to always when you do another, diffenrent mission
  • Gah I hate having to wait another 2.5 hours to grind my refresh. I guess I'll farm Army of One for awhile.

    I got through a clear last night, but it took so long it took out any chance at getting 4 rounds in. I'm going to be lucky to clear this twice before the event ends
  • maybe it's gotten more competitive? I don't know, last time I was leaving points on the board in some subs because people just weren't clearing every 8 hours. Now I'm not even top 100.

    I've already finished 3 clears on my 2nd sub but I think my timing was off for the 4th clear because there was 6.5 hours left after finishing the 3rd clear.

    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 icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Oh I'm looking forward to a pretty close finish between the two of us. icon_e_wink.gif hope you have your last minute strats laid out!
