You get a single HB for beating one node, not that much work. 10min work for an item worth about $17 worth of game currency. That's $100/hr. Not bad.
Oh, and there are 59(?) nodes prior, each with their own payoff. It adds up.
beating one node
good one but like say best of luck to those who want it. not worth the hassle or time for me. 0 -

Honestly, Slide, the Gauntlet is probably the only part of the game that doesn't feel like work to me (apart from DDQ). Yes, it's challenging, but it's the closest thing to an endgame that MPQ has, and I can play it totally at my own pace. Given the likely difficulty level, it's going to feel pretty great getting that Hulkbuster at the end, rather than a 3*.0 -

how many people are going to make it to the end. many give up before they get there, many say they use deadpool whales to make it to the end, They really need to remove the gaunlet from the PVE plans and make it a stand alone. People with smaller rosters have a chance playing in normal PVE but have no chance going though the Gaunlet.
I say take the Gaunlet away from normal PVE all together and put it as a Season PVE. it would give people longer to play it that want to play it while allowing people who want to skip it stills something to play. It seems to come around every 2 months or so its not that common but for those who have no interest in playing it, it pushes them away from the game for a week where they could find something else to play and never come back.
make the gaunlet like the daily event but run it then entire season.
its just too bad they did not run this last week then i could of left for the entire week without checking in (out of season PVP) I will just be checking in for the PVP .0 -

easy...marc
dont you mean 7 day (its a week event --- at least it should be )
if it was another color maybe but just dont think its worth it for that color. then again maybe the luck of the tokens draws spoiled it for me... on the ultron was 1-1 (did not get last cover and then the tokens pushed him to )
1-4-1 so pulled 4 covers from toks
my week will look like
10 mins for dead pool
then
630 to 8am friday play pvp
630 to 8am sunday PVP
pm on tue pvp.... be nice only 6 hours all week playing very nice break0 -

The devs probably only expect a small percentage of the MPQ population to make it to the end. In terms of difficulty, it's probably going to be calibrated the same as getting top 1-2 in PvE or reaching 1000 points in PvP. I'm okay with that. As I said, the last sub in the Gauntlet is essentially endgame content.
I've seen suggestions before that the Gauntlet be turned into a Season PvE or a separate event. I don't think that's an unreasonable suggestion, given that once a player "hits the wall" in the Gauntlet, they don't have any other content to play apart from PvP. Not to go too far off topic, but MPQ does really need separate PvP or PvE content for the people who've been playing for a while. Contest of Champions has Realm of Legends, it'd be great to see something similar here.0 -
Gauntlet is the closest thing that resembles a statically difficult encounter simply because the scaling toward the end is so high you don't get much out of favorable scaling, and it's set at a level where having a solid core of level 166s can definitely beat it as long as you don't run into someone like Iron Fist or Juggernaut, and you can use Whales for that and Gauntlet recently has been better about not throwing guys like Juggernaut at you at the end. I don't think requiring several 166s is asking a lot for the 3 3* guaranteed finishes, and now the 4*. You may have to make some sacrifices in terms of how well you can do in other events but even the hardest Gauntlet encounters boils down to just keep trying until you get the right board to win unless you're just nowhere ready to do this or the enemy is blatantly unfair (e.g. Juggernaut with green feeders).0

Yes, please remember to check the last prize in the Gauntlet, it might be good

so because I don't have IW, I have no chance at the token in the first Gauntlet, have the essential in the 2nd which I usually can't complete, and have the essential in the 3rd which I usually can't even touch?
Awesome.0 -
slidecage i normally agree w/ u but I can't here...every hulkbuster cover is worth getting. He's mutha-krutacking-hulkbusta.slidecage wrote:

I'unno, for some reason my hulk buster is at 0/2/1. My alliance didn't manage to finish ultron round 7 so we missed the red cover, and I got the other two covers from top 50 individual top 100 alliance in enemy of the state.
Apart from ultron round 2, red is the elusive cover so far. For many of us in the 50-100 ranking range.0 -

Some of us pulled his
from an Ultron token.
I pulled his
on mobile and his on Steam. If only I could combine them somehow. 0 -
You can progress to the second round without playing any essentials in the first but you'll need the points from the essentials to get all the rewards in the end. The Gauntlet is one of the few really challenging events in this game and there's no shame in not having the roster to complete it - finishing is a real accomplishment, especially when they put Deadpool in the last few essential or the final node.DFiPL wrote:so because I don't have IW, I have no chance at the token in the first Gauntlet, have the essential in the 2nd which I usually can't complete, and have the essential in the 3rd which I usually can't even touch?0 -
what's your point? I'm not talking about tokens. I'm sure there's someone out there who's completed every character thru tokens, but that's CHANCE. You were talking about Avengers vs Ultron and only 2 guilds completed the event, meaning only 40 people earned Black Hulkbuster, making it the rarest cover(sans tokens) out there.DFiPL wrote:

Realistically, when we look at covers, we're talking about when they are offered as prizes, not in tokens.
Otherwise, no one would complain about tokens ever because you can get everything you need from std tokens.
You can't say a cover is rare or not based on TOKENS unless you'd like to share some hidden cover-chance-from-tokens-math with various math-inclined forum-goers who I'm sure would be happy to know.0 -

Awesome.
If they didn't redesign the format to a 2-2-2 essentials each Gauntlet, I would imagine the first one has either 6 Cap Marvel or 3 Cap Marvel, 3 Mystique, while the second one will likely be 6 Mystique or 3 Cap M and 3 IW. Just my guesses, we will find out soon enough. That said, it really sucks that the essentials cannot be earned throughout play.0 -

Likewise disingenuous to comment only on the last payoff, as if all the other loot were not there. Compared to other events, Gauntlet has been well worth the time.
I will avoid any CBA in regards to GFs. Good luck
Fair enough, I will take another look at the rewards when deciding if the event is worth the time.
May the cascades be ever in your favor.... or something to that effect.0 -

Yeah, but the only progression reward I care about in the first round is the token.
oh wait i can't have that lol me0 -

Didn't say it was, or wasn't, rare. Other dude was saying that to his knowledge red was harder to get and you said 'nuh uh only two alliances got one.' From context it seemed pretty clear to me that he was talking about token pulls, not the Ultron Prime nodes.
You're the one who steered it back to prizes, not tokens.0 -
After accumulating so many Deadpool points every day for the last 6 months or something (460K), I think that a
cover is totally worth using them to finish that Gauntlet with a truck load of Super Whales if necessary! 
I also can use that
cover on top of it so even more worth it! 
EDIT: I do have the 3 essential characters required to make it possible to finish the entire Gauntlet...
