Wow. Destroyed on the 2nd node, but it ground on for about 5 minutes. What happened to the fun quick bathroom phone game I used to play?

They expect us to be constipated?

with the health increases I seem to get constipated more and more often now...

Oh yeah, that's wonderful. The first run at the new simulator, and what does scaling offer? A level 163 OBW. On the first run, and labelled 'easy'.

So, I wander in with my level 250 XF, 166 Thor, 153 Doom. Guess what? OBW ruins all of them. Health boosts to her team at 3000 a time. Bye bye, my team.

All killed in a few turns when her purple power kicks in.

Not funny, D3, not clever, and not getting me to keep on playing.

If this is 'easy', what do you think hard is? The Colossus on her team had 11,000 hp, and got maxed every other turn by her healing. And when the match is done, the enemy team starts again with FULL health, and all my team are down. Bye bye health packs, bye bye game.

Stupid stupid stupid.
Are you even listening to the feedback of overwhelming hate for your PvE level planning?

I was just coming here to see if anybody had brought this up yet...it's off the charts! Have you completed that side of the sub yet? The end node greeted me with a level 364 Steve Rogers/Xforce/Gunner node. Fun fact: the ultron goons move the board AND generate free red mana for cap. 8,500 damage star spangled avenger, bouncing around every couple of turns, no need for them to actually match red gems. C'mon devs, play your own game at these levels, just for one event. Learn what you're asking your player base to compete with. There's difficult, and then there's just tinykitty ridiculous.

So simulation 5 on day 1 is unplayable for me. IMHB, iron fist, and Cyclops? Like no. What the hell even is that? That's like the best possible team that could exist

I registered just to post this. What's the point of this event? It's nearly impossible from the get go.

Yeesh. The event doesn't start for me for another few hours, but that sounds awful. Need someone who denies/uses Black/Red/Yellow? Black Panther, Luke Cage and L. Cap maybe? I don't know. Guess I'll see when I get there.

I went in with Falcon Ldaken and Gamora. Falcon helped to negate some of IF and then I just did my best to deny black and red. Took IF down first then Cyclops. Ended up takings 7k punch from HBIM, but I fought through it and limped out with a victory.

I'd think Cage(event boosted) Falcon would be a better pair, protect tile plus inspiration to negate IF attack tile

I used an xforce/kamala/cage team. Cage's protect tile helps against IF, and then it's a matter of denying red, black and yellow until you can use your own big damage abilities. I took cyke out first, then IF and finally hb.

I agree On Cage. Mine just isn't leveled enough to be an asset yet. I was counting on quick damage with Gamora boosted by Daken and Falcon's yellow more than any kind of defensive strategy.

I'd swear they're trying to sell Hulkbuster covers... Managed it with OBW/Cage/Wolverine but came out limping despite denying them to 2 activations.

Like everyone said, Cage is the MVP for this sub. He makes that IF node, as well as those annoying Ultron Sentry nodes a lot more bearably. I've been using LDaken/Cage/Falcon for nearly every node.

Wow. No. That's dire.

I don't remember what they were when they opened, but after two clears they're 232. I'm sure your roster is much more developed than mine, but it's not like I'm one of those people who keeps characters under leveled deliberately. I have a couple of 166s. As far as past performance, I'm never top two, but I'm usually top ten, and I was fourth in The Hulk.

Oh goodie. After the Hulkbuster/Iron Fist/Cyclops node is a Patch/Luke Cage/Daredevil node. I just love it when they take away my powered up heroes for no reason at all.

I like this event less and less each time it is run.

Reducing this to one sub might have seemed like a player-player friendly change, until you see what the difficulty looks like. Personally, I enjoyed Sim because it gave me the opportunity to basically ignore Hard, and just do some casual grinding of Nornal. Now, most of the nodes are pretty ridiculous, making just one clear a very unpleasant slog. These nodes aren't going to be grindable at all, if your scaling is anything like mine. Sim 7 opened at lv364 for me. Anyone else?

A guy had a picture from TaT that goes like, "My Business Partners started at 395, so at least it can't go any higher" and as ironic as that statement is, it's totally true. Having nodes start out at 364 means scaling is at a level where everyone is screwed, so you can be assured that nobody is going to be secretly lapping the competition, and you've the added advantage where even if significant community scaling kicks in later it can only be at most 31 levels higher. Now I'm not going to vouch for whether you or I can actually beat those nodes reliably, but 'everyone is screwed' is a far better position than 'only I am screwed'.

Dear God, I'm wishing I wasn't so glad to be reading others' posts in this thread, but at least I've got company...

Had high hopes for my third LDaken cover, and then I opened the first sub...

Well, there's always DDQ. At least until it's "fun-balanced" with sentries.

Went in with Cage, Falcon and Daken and limped out with a victory,,,, only Cage was still alive with 2000HP left. It's impossible to walk away from this fight without getting hit some kind of super devastating power. You try to deny red & black, and the CPU end up using IF's purple to generate black, Iron Man's Blue and Cyclops's Yellow to generate red.

No way in hell i'm trying this node again..... or Simulation 6 (barely managed to beat that one after using AP boosts like crazy).

At least i'm only fighting for the Daken cover, after getting the magneto cover from progression I'm only playing the essentials, don't gave a damn if I get bullseye

Arimis_Thorn

Yep, just tried the Cyke, IF, HBIM node.

**** you in the **** forever. It's the SECOND **** NODE.

You think your **** Bullseye is worth this?! You are out of your **** minds.

If you're not using Hulk on Iron Fist you're just asking for a lot of pain. Captain Marvel can work too, but she's more dependent on scaling (threshold for Energy Absorption is quite a bit higher than Anger so they have to scale to a certain point before you can trigger it every turn).
