Thick as Thieves

What I would like to know is what is at the end of the global scale? Is everyone going to get a Daredevil like the Hulk Event? (or possibly bag man )

This made laugh so hard (still laughing). Thank you. I needed that.
I opened the first sub-event without thinking about the possibility of joining all the fanatics, which I guess places me in an early main bracket. I don't see though thereck at the top as I expected. Could it be it I am lucky and avoided the crazies? Can someone tell me if he is top right now or he just dropped from top 10?

Damn Daredevil looks sick. Too bad I can't compete in PVE... stupid work

He's not currently in the top 10.

I've only got one mission in the main bracket, but there must be more, because I only have 30 but there are some with 300. Shutting down the app didn't help. Anyone?

Is there more than one sub-bracket?

No. There's one sub-bracket.

There's only one on mine.

Doing the first one opens the sub bracket. The points in the sub bracket will make you rise in the main bracket. I'm assuming some people are redoing the 1 pt sub bracket missions to get ahead. I'm not convinced it's the right thing to do, but what do i know.

That being said, i believe it states that as we get more intel more missions will open up in the main bracket.

Right now the first sub bracket seems pretty simple. Every mission can be done twice before they drop to 1 point, and each mission increases the overall difficulty of all missions. So the optimal strategy (which I found out too late) is do the missions in reverse order of most difficult to least difficult, e.g. last mission twice and the second to last mission twice and so on. It's not clear if the missions will refresh but I'm assuming they will unless we're supposed to be competing who can grind the most 1 point missions after every mission is done twice.

If you're not sure you can beat the very end missions it might be better to just do say the top 4 yielding points twice and then wait for it to reset, so that you don't hike up the overall difficulty to the point where you can't do it. That said since Wolverine is the boosted character, I don't think the level 240 missions will be that hard. With the current bug, I think it's pretty trivial to win them if you boost 6 green since one green match gets you like 2000 with of strike tiles if you had him at a high level and then it should be easy win from there. The tried and true Wolverine 6g 6r strategy still works, though it's not quite as potent as it was during The Hulk because he's boosted less.

Damn. I wasn't planning on beating him of course, but a more casual bracket would be great. I just can't repeat what I did in the previous event (ended top 30 in main bracket). Too many sleepless nights and scheduling when to play. Felt like I was working and not playing.

Can somebody tell me pls how much is left from sub-brackets?
I want to join as late as possible for an easier main bracket, and still gather some rubberbanding points from the first sub-brackets.

Cheers

Boosted Patch strike tiles + boosted OBW Espionage = hilarity.

Can you tell if the reward for beating the mission increases as time passes? In the previous event the reward went up based, I assume, to what was going on in the other brackets during that time (rubberbanding?). For example in Family Reunion the reward for the first mission is 18 points. Will this go up if I wait 2-3 hours? Is it worth doing that in this event?

I am at 359 and the missions only give one point, so that is that for the morning.

Interesting all mine are now only giving one point as well yet I've only received 327 points. So I guess some form of rubber banding is still in effect? Anyone else down to one pointers only and care to post your point total?

Whelp, my 10 pack was **** ****, 7 Astonishing wolverines.

tinykitty.

That's pretty much what I'm expecting and why I'm still debating whether to grab one...

They've been sitting at 1 for a while for me, so I'm guessing they'd reset in 8 hours like most missions.

I'm sitting at #2 overall and my sub bracket with 350ish points, so there isn't enough points on rubberband to make a significant difference. That said I suspect the guy with 360 points over me might have benefited from my previous first spot? Or he could've grinded a 1 point mission 10 times. Either way, it seems unlikely to have significant gains based on rubberbanding so far just because the points are so little. With the refresh time uncertain, I figure it's best to get them out of the way ASAP, because you can't risk having one less set of refreshes than someone else, as you will never lose to a guy who have one less total set of missions completed. When we find out the mission reset times, then you can figure out the how much time you can wait and still getting the maximum number of total mission sets.

OK, I can confirm the reward increases. It went from 18 to 19. I wonder about the performance of one who does the sub-bracket only 1 time 1 hour before the end.

My sub-bracket is at 383 at the moment. Ouch.

I have 335 points and I did some of the missions more than twice.

It's difficult to tell if there's rubberbanding in effect because it's entirely possible someone blow through the easiest mission 20 times too. I know doing every one of them twice did not get the final mission to level 230, so obviously Ghast did more than just the 2X every mission.
