There are still EASY nodes in Simulator

I'm giving this it's own thread due to how many players do not seem to be aware of the new layout for the Simulator.

The normal (easier) nodes are now on the right. The left nodes are the hard nodes. The essential in the middle are, well, mediocre difficulty. The reason for the change was that they condensed from two simulator subs with a total of 20 nodes to one simulator with 10 nodes. So instead of players not being able to handled 10 hard nodes each round, there are ONLY 4.

The hard nodes are on the left because they are guarding the ISO node. Otherwise, clearly it would have made more sense to have easier on left and hard nodes on the right due to the way the event was set up in the past.

TL; DR: Do not just attempts nodes on the left and give up. Give the right side and middle a try.

    and....the hard nodes on the left are stupid hard. especially the second one...just had cascade after cascade....IF changes tiles to black...followed by a nice FB from cyclops...6 rounds...start to finish...my team dead...all by FB.

    I got really lucky on this node... Mutant Revolutionary goes off - not a single match. Turn passes to me and IMHB eats a surgical strike for 13.5k. Ended this node with a downed Gamora and a nearly full health XForce and LDaken - Gamora was tanking so much it wasn't even funny.

    I don't disagree. I commented in depth on the scaling in the two other threads.

    I threw this one up because there were some players who appeared to assume (that as in past versions of Simulator) the easier nodes would start on the left side and just get harder on the right. They were only looking at the first node on the left, seemingly unaware the easier nodes actually started on the right side this time.

    Thanks for posting this. I wish I would have read it sooner.

    I got on to play yesterday and of course, from past experience started on the left side...which was an easy node that started with the characters at 164. I thought...oh man...simulator is gonna suck! And it did. I worked through it most of the night in spurts and imagine the surprise when I got to the other side. It was kind of a relief that I did it that way. But for most of the night, I was questioning how anyone was going to get through Simulator at all. Those first two nodes on the left were brutal.
