  • I am boosting every single fight...I also did the same thing as you.. fought a tough match, lost 2 characters in that fight for it to say 1 point ... UGH
  • What I do now is just retreat before any damage tile gets resolved in an all goons fight when they're level 230.

    I'm curious how we're supposed to hit those 20K progression reward at current points. I guess there has to be some huge point missions opening up after the goal is reached.
  • For the Maggie mission... normally i go with a team of lv85 thor, lv85 wolverine marvel now, and lv95 spidey... since obw cant constantly steal ap from them as Maggie able to generate their own ap... i will try match both red and blue often to make sure to clear all the yellow tile countdown to prevent any Maggie attack tile to generated on the field so lesser damage is dealt by a blue tile countdown (Tommy gun) manage go off... if unable to match red... i will use spidey blue to lockdown a Maggie to stop the countdown.. den i will try match green as often as i can to stack the attack tile to clear them faster... If you unable to stop the countdown just retreat and heal up at some other easy mission using spidey or OBW if you have one before anyone of them down... by repeating these process it is easily overcome the lv230 mission in no time... currently clear all sub mission till left 1 point... not sure should i complete with rimas seeing he is 100+ point ahead of me icon_mrgreen.gif

    That would make sense - after the global goal is when the points really opened up in the Hulk events.
  • It's doable with boost. Anti gravity device is the key.

    And bugged patch strike tile rock.

    I manage to kill the 3 muscle guy with patch hulk and Ironman 40.
    Have to say Ironman is the best partner for patch.

    That's what I was thinking too. I continue to be a bit boggled that they change the rules in nearly every event with no communication to the players ad to what the rules are through the game. I mean, yeah, we figure a lot of it out here, but the majority of players aren't on the forums.
  • Hm not sure if my stacks have fully reset or not. It was about 8 hours ago that I did them, but not exactly. I guess I'll grind a couple and then head to sleep. Can't really play this sub optimally. But I'm already 3/3/3 on Patch with a bunch more in my cache so covers don't matter anymore.

    They could probably use an Intro to Business or Communications 101 class
  • Am I the only one who is boosting every match? Damn this sucks when every single level is all 230 guys. 5775 for a one hit magglia thug. I got 2 in last sub and loss by about 5 pts last I checked with 2 mins left. Should have taken it but lost count on one level as I jumped around to highest points avail and did the 230 lvl mark vi with 30 mins left and it was showing 30 points only to get 1 point instead. What a waste of 7-10 min. I also got blown away by magglia dons 3x 230 twice bc I went in without boosts and tried loki too. Loki worked great once but if you cant get to blues quick enough, its game over since I never pumped much iso into him. I will be so damn sad once spidey gets nerfed... he is the key to all my 230 fights.


    Naah. I usually don't play for large periods so I just retreat l my characters till they are all dead before getting off for the next grouping. Keeps everyone but the last one (still doable at about 160 w/o boost just not worth the effort) doable without boosts unless I am being lazy or need to get the wins quickly for some reason. I will miss magneto when he is nerfed icon_e_sad.gif thormagpatch goes hard...even with patchs at a whopping lvl 30.
  • Yeah definitely screwed up my reset timing. Oh well. Not going to grind all the missions at full stacks this time around. Hopefully that doesn't screw me up for the overall bracket too much.
  • This is annoying, just because I CAN handle 230/230/230 doesn't mean I want to every single round.

    It's pretty easy to bring the levels down. Send out all your unused covers to die.

    One stars and the dark avengers tends to work. I ran through my entire benched roster in about 7 minutes.

    I seriously wonder how the more casual players are enjoying this event. If the same enemy level mechanic is going on at lower levels--even with proportional scaling--I can picture huge swaths of the casual crowd becoming demoralized by the event.

    The lowering of the world-wide DD unlock total by almost 85% would also suggest to me that a major miscalculation was made by the dev team on projecting scoring and participation for this event.

    In the second sub bracket I only did 2 full clears and was able to stay at the top so you should be fine. You're still ahead of me.

    Then you're in a much better bracket than I am
  • 2nd set clear. Sitting at 645 while 2nd is at 337. Off to bed. Back in 6.5 hours for round 3 of this sub icon_e_smile.gif

    I'm in second with 2694. What's your bracket like?

    Did you grind one point missions or was that a little help from the rubber band?

    Pretty sure he joined a bracket with 4 refreshes.

    I joined one after the pvp event ended with an adequate amount of time for the 3 refreshes, sitting in first. Don't know why I am still doing this, just competitive nature I guess. Patch is done, need ISO for him and my Punisher and this isn't providing it to me heh... Here's hoping we have lightning rounds this week, although I should really bring all my villains up to at least 30...whatever.

    I grinded 1 pointers on the very 1st sub. After that I've just been sitting in top 1-3 of mains and sub and doing every mission as soon as it's up. Definitely no rubber banding on my end.
