    It's a bunch of missions in the main area. I've gone through 5 or 6 now, almost done, I think. New mutant enemy so far: Control.
  • 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.

    Yea, I'm kinda wondering about the refresh on these main missions myself. I'm personally not doing the resets on the sub-events, but these new missions have a lot of points behind them. Since they have that many points, I'm assuming that they won't get any higher if you wait ???

    Are these repeatable?

    Thanks as always Nemek.

    Yes repeatable, and they provide A LOT of points.
  • Thanks guys!

    And by the way, I'm quite serious about the points. I've done 4 of the missions so far, and have gained... ohhhh... about 2900 points.
    Aaaaand for the ever-discerning customer, so far most of the missions have required Patch or OBW. Not that that means much to you guys, but...
    (Have you noticed I overuse ellipses?)
  • jeez, looks I might need to stay up later than planned...
  • 12 missions with two stacks. No special rewards.

    wah! Seems like doubling up on the missions in my sub has presented a thorn in my side. All the new missions in the main are at level 230. Managed my way through 4 or 5, but once I have to start dealing with actual villains the going got tough.

    Back to sacrificing my roster for a bit.

    Someone said C. Storm features eventually, is that a guest spot or required hero?

    Gives you C. Storm if you don't have her. Except the guest Storm is level 6.

    I think mine's that level too. Mine at least has full covers.

    Sounds like a job for boosted Patch + OBW.

    So in total, 12 repeatable missions. No new sub-event, no new covers.

    Can't really comment on difficulty since they were all 230s for me, anyway.
  • Hmm, traditionally main missions don't "reset" but these are giving points per 2 stack..so who knows. If they don't reset, might be worth waiting to do them later for rubber banding.. oivey

    Base points for second stacks are:

    20
    30
    30
    35
    35
    40
    40
    50
    50
    50
    75
    100

    So, double those values for the first stack most likely.
  • Do the unlocked missions have to be completed sequentially? Or is like the subs, where after one or two, the whole board unlocks?

    I think I was getting a metric ton of rubberbanding points, and that's why they were so high for me.
  • If these reset then this event officially became too grindy. 21 missions * 2 stacks every 8 hours = no thanks
