    Yeah, get back to us when you see a lv395 Hood being fed yellow by goons.

    I have no concrete proof, since I am always hitting refreshes, but I wouldnt be surprised if there was an automatic bump in levels based on time left in the sub.

    Yeah, it does feel like scaling exists in this. The end node definitely did not start off with level 310 minions for me, but that's what I've got now.

    Same thing here. Not sure if quitting & coming back in triggers a scaling update (my guess), or if it's time based. Or if someone flipped the community scaling switch back on. icon_e_smile.gif

    I miss those 310 minions. much rather take them on than doom/mystique in the 200s. there are multiple teams that can ace goon nodes no matter what level they are and the more you ace them in your grind, the more scaling kicks in. looks like a big chunk of scaling resets for each sub though - anyone else?

    The problem with these goon/mystique/doom nodes is that the goon feeds them enough AP to start constantly spamming demons or stuns and masterstroke pretty quicky, so there are usually one of two outcomes: you either got things going really quickly and wiped them out before any real damage happened, so the game penalizes you with a scaling bump; or, you completely wipe, and the game "rewards" you by letting you use 3 health packs and trying it again at the exact same level that just wiped you out.
