    After doing the missions some more I think the devs just forgot that level 230 guys are normally fought about level 200 equivalent characters after character boosts.
    Could be. Until we get some word from them on what this much-maligned dynamic scaling innovation was actually supposed to do, I'm trying not to speculate too much for fear of headaches.
  • I've done about three matches all weekend, and the most I've dropped was from 8th to 12th.

    The lack of player engagement in this event is staggering.
  • Well, the prizes are just not worth it for the difficulty. I remember getting 400 points or 1000 pts from 1 level 230 the hood. Now i have to contend with 3 level 230 hammers and the prize is only like 100 points? Who are we kidding here? At that rate people should be getting at least 3000 points for that one battle.
  • Finally 200th in my bracket! Hoo and, indeed, hargh.

    Is it a good or bad sign if points of the completed missions didn't reset by itself during the 12-hour cycle?

    Its probably because you grinded the same mission in multiple different hours, so it seems like not refreshing

    Thanks! I've got no choice but to grind this way as I cannot progress anymore due to the high level mobs and without any boosts. >.<
  • I hope they can salvage some of this event and change the progression rewards for everyone, 10K should earn you the X - Force Wolverine rewards.

    Managed to scrape through one of the missions featuring Yelena and some Hammer mobs. What strategy to use against Daken, in the one where I need to use **Wolverine? Any ideas on the other 2 heroes to use (besides Spidey, cos mine is just too low level)?

    You'll need some sort of stun to have any chance, as you are forced to match green tiles to remove the countdowns, and if he starts getting off a few strike tiles each match he does will be hitting for 500-800 damage, so Widow or Storm will be a must.

    That one is so ****ing hard because you have to keep him stunned, otherwise you'll never get past his healing factor. But Classic Storm isn't really built for stun locks, and Mod Widow can get ripped apart before you can snag 3 blue matches.

    Honestly, most of the fights should just require Spider-Man, because they kinda do anyway.

    icon_e_sad.gif my Spidey ain't powered up. No way I'm going to spend 5000hp to get 4 more blue covers. -.-"
  • So, is it already working hours in the glorious United States of Superbowl?

    I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for some explanations from Demiurge or D3P about the current (broken) state of the game.
  • Sitting at 3rd with 5920 pts. 1st and 2nd have 8590 and 6230 pts.

    The matches aren't too hard since I use max skill lvl 100 spidey, bwgs, but the matches are very slow and boring. Most of the progression rewards seem very unreachable. I don't even know if I'll be motivated to get the DD cover at 10000. And for such a long event, the single red DD placement cover sure is stingy. DD not even that good, and his symbol is hypnotizing...
  • I'm at 6300 and, unless there's a major change, I'll just do 4 more cycles for 300 points each (which I can do in 15-20 minutes with the first three missions) and stop at 7500. Most of my points came from glitch day on Friday, and, while I might be able to hit 10,000, it would 1) probably use up the rest of my boosts and 2) eat up most of my free time over the next three days. It just isn't worth it for one Daredevil cover.

    LOL, I wouldn't hold my breath in your place.

    Did you learn nothing from the Thivies PVE?

    Good work. I decided it is outright impossible without 2AP spidey stuns -- the spies pump insane amount of purple wo yelena who steals all your AP every few turns and has health well beyond range to eliminate with the crippled roster.
  • Anyone not liking 12 hour refreshes? Harder to get 2 completes in a day for me.

    I hate when games do 12 and 24 hour resets, it takes time to actually do the missions too. At least with most appointment-based games you can set a 10 or 8 hour one for when you run behind.

    I wonder if a gradual recharge system would be plausible? Like 10% recharge every hour.

    Bit after 9 Demiurge time, I think. Assuming daylight savings isn't on there, I can never keep track of that where I live, never mind anywhere else.

    Give them a chance, man. They got 24 threads and 102 pages of appreciative user feedback to catch up with.

    @ihearthawthats: I like 12hr better than 8hr. If you try to compete on the 8hr ones, the schedule is just painful, especially if they take any amount of time to do. Twice a day, whenever you like for the most part and at 4am or whatever it ends up being for the final refresh, I can swallow much easier.
  • Just got my 10K Daredevil award.

    ...Now to decide if I'm even going to look at the app for the next three days.
