How's the PVE scaling post 166?

I have a few star.pngstar.pngstar.png 166's and one good star.pngstar.pngstar.pngstar.png star at lvl 166 as well. Will scaling get completely stupid if I bring my lone 4 star up above 166? It's already pretty bonkers.

    Take a look at my "A challenge to the devs" post. I have lots of 166s and 3 270s, and that's what I face in every PvE event.

    Yikes, they should probably stop with the competitive PVE if they don't have any other ideas. You are supposed to be rewarded for developing characters like most rpg's/strat's. icon_e_confused.gif

    On the other hand, I would like to have my own chump-smashing X-Force for pvp so there's that. icon_e_wink.gif

    Then again, he'll probably get nerfed as soon as I spend all the ISO I'll have to save. icon_e_confused.gif

    Terrible. I can barely win any hard nodes (which are called "normal") with my 250 X-force and my only two 166's. I'm forced to play almost every node with that team - and will continued to be forced to do so when Winfinite is nerfed (and I feel for the 4hor/X-force teams that depended on the two of them).

    For scaling purposes they need to consider anything past 166 = 166. Especially because they apparently only want the 4*'s to be about equal to power of the 4*'s - so no one would ever level 4*'s since it only hurts you. And since they are nerfing 4*(s?) after the fact, players had no idea they shouldn't have put them past 166.

    To your rpg comparison. They advertise deep rpg elements in this game. It's actually furthest from, you get two types of resources to collect and put into your characters. Sorta sad. While I get that covers is another thing, the two resources are how you level, and most times people would rather save hp for acquiring roster slots.

    I've kept my X-Force at 166 (he 5/5/2 so he could go much higher). When I have 3 good 4*'s that I can level above 166 then I'll start to move them up. Fury will get there soon as I'm getting his rewards in the Shield re-supply and that will get him to 3/3/3. My IW is cover maxed, so if she ever becomes good then I'll have 3. My other 4*'s have between 1-3 covers, so there's not much help there. But if I had 3 different 4*'s who could each anchor a team, I think it would be worth going over 166.
