    I hope they get rid of rubberbanding. Leave the points sitting at 1 for each mission and if people want to grind those 1 pointers to win the bracket then they deserve to have it over someone who figures out the timing to jump in and take full advantage of rubber banding and reset times.

    The #1 guy increased his lead on me from 10 to 20 points, so I'm pretty sure he's just grinding the 1 point missions repeatedly now.

    This forces me into a rather nasty dilemma of either continue to grind until I collapse or concede the #1 spot. icon_e_sad.gif

    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?

    I'm down to one-pointers only, and I'm at 343. I'm sitting 4th, #1 in my bracket is at 365.

    I'm 6th in my main bracket at 363, #1 is 385 (same guy as my sub-bracket, actually).

    Do we know anything about the rotations? Are they again every 8 hours? I hope they have them this time every 12 hours. 8 hour rotations are brutal. Also, didn't the main event started with 6d 12h left?

    Why on earth are people asking if the rotations are 8 hours?

    The tournament hasn't bene up for 8 hours, how the hell is anyone supposed to answer that.

    They appear to be day long events. I'm not sure I like how only top 50 out of 200 get anything good for rewards. You spend hours grinding shields to end up with 100 ISO's. I could have done the exact same thing from five level 2 hammer dudes in the prologue. I guess the mission rewards make it a little bit better. I'm not sure I'm going to bother trying to place top 50. I have no way to beat the 200+ guys.

    Powered up pre-fix Patch and OBW are a nasty duo...

    Hard to believe there was a time when I was struggling to get by Maggia thugs...

    Ended up in the same main bracket as thereck and phantron. My impatience is paying off negative dividends. Top 10 is going to be a chore for this one. Still digging the structure so far. Already banked 7K ISO. Want to dump it into Punisher for a better One Man Army placement (my Punisher is squishy at 51 right now), but with Patch covers coming I'm feeling Patch might be the sounder investment for the remainder of this event (he's also at 51, but capped for now).

    The fight for top 50 begins!

    Just attempted to face the Rags, Daken, Moonstone all LVL 103 in the sub event and the app kicked me out so I basically lost to that. I went back in to attempt it again and all three were lvl 81. So I would suggest if the lvl is too hard throw a seed team at them to lower the level and try again.

    Does it still give you the same amount of points for a win after a loss?

    Did the points stay the same?

    I boosted and did fine against them at 135, but by the time they were at 230, the mission was only worth one point, so I haven't tried. The biggest killer in that mission for me, at least in the Family Reunion chapter, is the forced GSBW. I only have one cover, so mine is at lvl 15. The difference between my lvl 85 OBW and lvl 15 GSBW is...well, massive doesn't even begin to convey it. Still, I'll give it a shot with boosts, Patch, and...I don't even know whom. Ares or Thor, I guess, though they both have a 2/3 overlap with Patch.

    EDIT:

    Oh, wow, that's an interesting mechanic. Great to know.

    Yeah found by accident and was pleasantly surprised. Good thing I'm not a huge secret keeper could of kept it to myself and rose through the ranks with easy wins. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I'll be curious to test it out myself to see if it's truly an intended game function or an unexpected consequence of your app crashing.

    I believe you may be right. I just attempted it again and no change. This may have just been a glitch. Then again it was the first time I was facing them too. I will continue to test a couple more theories to this.

    Yeah. Every time you lose / retreat it's getting easier. Lol.
    Another incentive to do badly.


    Actually there may be a limit. The 1st 2-3 times the enemies dropped 11 levels.
    Twice more after that and no more changes.

    There could be a minimum limit to the level for certain stages.

    I did notice that Family Reunion VIII yeilds the same points as Family Reunion IX. I don't see a reason to even play the IX other than the first time to get the bonus ISO.
