I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for some explanations from Demiurge or D3P about the current (broken) state of the game.

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

Did you learn nothing from the Thivies PVE?

I'll save you some heartache.

Explanation:
It's not really working how we intended.

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

I just passed 7500. 10k seems like such a pain, and I'm sick of doing these grinds for zero rewards on a per fight basis.

Could be worse... if it was an Apple game then the explanation would be "you're playing it wrong".

well 1 or 2 more refresh should be able to reach 10k pts for the DD cover... but this guy even without a full cover spidey and only 1 fully level up character which is thor that cannot used in the current event still able to keep ahead of me... perhaps large boost or perhaps his tendency of dun wan me pass him... xD
Still it is impress how he can overcome these level while others complain no lv5 blue spidey or so... what you guys think?

I can clear the 230s while only using c storm 45, as wolv 85, gsbw 20. Takes g/b p/bl 20% hammer boosts and like 5 minutes. Way to much effort and iso on my behalf. I'm only shooing for top 50 and have been at 15 for over a day. This game won't see me again till I start pushing for hood covers.

haha yeah seen legit... i gonna push for Hood as well at the last day in the last 4 hours... hate enter the bracket too early and got smashed by several ppl =.=!!!
Probably average above 550 pts or 600pts should be able to secure top 5 position... unless try push to 700+ without getting retaliate back

I just wanted to play last night so I hopped into No holds Barred. Got up to around 190 points last night. I woke this morning to see I was attacked 8 times and now I have 101 points. I will revisit this event with an hour or two remaining.

Just to show how a huge difference the whole Heroic experience is for everyone:







If this is developer's version of scaling I'll not make any effort in levelling and just join events for cover collection only.

To be fair, at least to Pinchy here, he/she likely has that many points purely because of that Daredevil cover. From that alone, he/she has access to an easy 840 points per cycle, especially if the level scaling is low.

From personal experience, if I had not won a DD cover from TaT, I **might** be sitting at around 1000 points instead of being at 5000, from the missions that require DD alone.

When the game resets, what is the highest point amount you are getting? I seem to recall the maximum points in my first play was 200 and there was at least one mission worth 180. But when my game resets, my max is 160. Is that what is happening to everyone else?

Sounds like an incomplete stack refresh. Are you sure about when you last exhausted it? They come back one at a time, independently. You shouldn't touch them until they're back to the top value, or you'll never get it on that cycle.

And bonus kudos... for having all of the event missions directly effect the levels of each other.

The TaT PvE MMR is in full play here. The game is thinking that since a player keeps winning (despite the levels of the actual encounter played), the levels of all encounter needs to keep being ratcheted up.

I just **love** how "Imposters Assemble", a mission I stated earlier in this thread I could not beat, has creeped up from 120... to 130... to 140... to this morning 150.

C'MON MAN!

I can understand raising the levels of missions that a player is routinely farming, but to apply a event-wide scaling to missions not yet passed is outright bonkers.

Players shouldn't be punished for later missions for successfully completing the easy, trivial missions at the start of events.

The two missions with the best bang for the buck are Arrested and Symbiote Showdown. Both require a DD but are very manageable especially with just a +20% hammer boost and stunlock. If someone with a light roster/lower rating has these missions with the baddies at <30 lvls it's probably not too great a challenge.

I am a little aggravated that the heroic version of this event is easier than the prologue for some people. I remember when they did the heroic version of Juggernaught and I could only do the 1st mission with my early team of 1*'s. Those still new to the game have plenty of content with the prologue to work through and the PvP tourneys.

I don't know...I guess I'm glad the developers tried to make it accessible to everyone, but this event has not been fun. As much as rubberbanding sucks it's way better than this grindfest. I'm sitting at 6400 pts and I'll be lucky to reach 7.5k by tourney end. The mob levels are almost out of reach now and I'm really not thrilled to tackle high level hammer mobs that can one shot my group for a measly 50pts. One 2 cd morale and the group it full health. One 4cd flamethrower or silent strike and it's game over. At least with the green cd tiles gsbw can sometimes save the day or spidey stunlock can hold off for a couple turns. But it's just not fun. It was fun and challenging the first couple times, but with little reward now it's just a grind.

For those of you know don't know...

Scaling on this tourney is rediculous, you either need to have a few specific characters at certain power points or you need next to nothing. Everyone in the middle gets screwed.

I have a secondary account with lv30IM35, lv16 -ClassStorm, lv10 Mod-BW
Most of the fights are lv20s....a couple are lv30s.
Every stage that doesn't require DD has been cleared, ALL are easily beatable and boring grindfests. I could win with this account if I wanted and still am in the top 50 after only 1 clear.

By comparison my main account can only clear 3 stages...one mistake wipes them out.

It's no wonder many of the top placers are lowbies.

been in 230 level hell all event. i just passed 3k for the 50 hp award....sitting in 14 place. please kill me now, i thought i quit this game a week ago.

Yea, the scaling is crazy. Going to do some missions here and there to stay in the top 25 . Other than that, not bothering to play this boring grindfest.

It's still odd to have a required daredevil on the goon missions where you can't actually use his powers. LoL

Yep.

Though you can have some light use -- when the counter pops there's a cascade that may be able to match a trap.

My secondary account is the same way. Have a 15 DD, a 29 C Storm, and a 45 IM35. He's rocking the event with zero effort while my main acct with 101 BWGS, 85 Wolverine, and 55 Spidey are getting creamed.

The few times I tried to use DD traps with villains I could swear the villains purposefully avoided matching them. The AI loves to match environment tiles and I even had a 4 of a kind match waiting for them and the AI went after something else. I remember at one point I had 6 traps on red/env tiles and only managed to get it triggered because of a cascade the opponent did. Not to mention the traps seem to appear in the worst possible places. I did learn that breaking the trap doesn't require a direct match. If a 4 way breaks the trap in it's row it triggers it too. However, the easy overwrite of the trap with Daken's strike tiles is annoying as all get out. Would be nice if it would attempt to move to a new a available tile and if none available then be destroyed.

well as least Pinchy achieve its pts due to early low level enemy before it scale to lv230 and stuck forever at 4k i presume
However my previous post show a player with low lv roster and incomplete spidey of 0/1/3 and GSBW 0/3/2 skill manage score 9.8k score and ahead of me constantly...
Either he was damn lucky enough to continuously get lucky board... or keep retreat and return to get better board... or use full boost... or other case you can think off...
but it also show without proper roster he manage score high points without rely on spidey or GSBW to stun lock or denied green tile... so that about it
