    Sadly, I'm both in a lazy main bracket, and don't have Patch or Spidey (and only a level 15 Grey Widow), so I can't place high enough in sub-brackets to get Patch, and therefore can't get high enough in my main to get Daredevil... It would really be great if they'd adjust PVE events to at least fake an even playing field, by making all levels that require a certain hero include a stock version of the hero.

    Ugh, I'm in a sub bracket with a guy that's incredibly sketchy. Rockyyz

    Question about resetting: Does each stack reset individually or does the entire subevent reset as a whole.

    Individually.

    Individually. You can also have mission partially reset with only one stack too (best to wait until the both stacks refresh in case something weird happens).

    so does it mean we should start grind the mission as soon as possible until it become one point then wait for the next reset to grind again?

    The levels not resetting in each new sub-event is possibly the dumbest decision by the devs in a month where there's been a few... any system where you can make the game easier by intentionally losing with characters you aren't using is some kind of silly, and similarly any system which means you start off with every battle in the subevent being full of level 230 matches (without even grinding particularly hard; in the case of the previous day's subevent due to other commitments I hardly played at all and was only "top 200") is really daft.

    I like the idea of the battles getting harder the more you grind, it imposes a natural limit on grinding without shutting people out of playing through the missions once and seeing the story and getting efficient rewards. But not re-setting for each sub-event completely undermines the whole thing. It's unfun. Even though I have the capability now to beat this level 230 stuff without boosting (unless the AI gets a huge lucky cascade early on, of course), it takes ages and makes playing even every mission once into a huge drag.

    Well let's say a mission is worth 50 base. Then first time it's 50, then 25, then 1. Sometimes you'll see it partially refreshed and it'll be worth 25. I've no idea what happens if you did the mission (you'll get 25, but is the next refresh 25 or 50?) so I never took the chance and just wait until it reset to base value (accounting for rubberband values).

    There's no incentive to hold off on doing missions as long as you play your final set of missions as close to the bracket ending as you can, though you might want to delay your entry to a sub bracket if possible if the timing looks like it's possible for people to get one more refreshes than you. That example, if there's 17h remaining and you just entered, you probably can only do two sets, but someone who entered earlier might be able to get 3 sets in that time and that'd put you at a considerable disadvantage.

    Serves Rockyyz right. He cost me a top 2 finish in a Doom LR last week. Finished 3rd.

    Interesting that the devs get active as we near the completion of the global intel collection goal.

    Still slogging through my first pass on today's sub. Interestingly, mission 6 seemed to drop to 1 pt reward for my 2nd go at it (showed 30 when I entered). After quitting/reloading app, Mission 7 still shows it's worth 60 points, so that seems kind of odd. It's neither here nor there, though, I'm 1st in sub by more than 100 points already. Just going to finish this pass and play the waiting/watching game.

    Intel collected and... Nothing. How anticlimactic icon_e_sad.gif

    Off to sleep.

    So my main bracket just hit 70000000. No new fights opened, and no Daredevil yet... something wrong?

    I always KNEW we weren't going to get Daredevil at the end...
    Really wanted him, too.
    But maybe there is still hope! What if more unlocks later? J'espere...

    Someone report what happens with it, apparently no one else in my main bracket did their 2nd set of clears yet, since I've only fallen to 6th place since I did my clear, so the rubberbanding on it is pretty bad

    Not really sure how to apporach this new story mission. To maximize points generated, im thinking i do it right before my first clear of the current event, while making sure that i dont miss a cycle on the event it unlocks. Hopefully someone can report whats up before i do anything crazy.

    Yeah, if it unlocks a series of missions, or a 2nd sub, I want to do it soonish, before my 2nd set of depletions. If it's just a 1 off, I'll leave it until I can get as much rubberbanding as posible
