Thank God for simulator

I know some people hate the simulator but I actually don't mind it. I've done my first clear already (except the Cyclops node - damn you Galactus!) and now I can relax and wait for my refresh. took me 10 mins so people who say they spend an hour clearing each refresh I'd like to know what you spend an hour doing?
Something to do that I can actually accomplish yay!
and I got a standard token from a node reward and it turned into a shiny gold Steve Rodgers (my pulls from anniversary/galactus tokens had yielded 20 2* characters)

Double iso? Since it rewards anniv tokens.. just hoping.. hasn't started for me yet... anyone know?0

I love any PvE event that doesn't have us facing off against the dark reign villains again and again.
Can't argue with that 4000node either.

Yep, doubled0 -
Hmm I didn't pay attention to my Iso awards unfortunately but given that I've had double Iso for everything so far I'm gonna gamble and say I am getting it. I was just so happy to play something that didn't give me a dead roster after 8 mins that I didn't check ha ha.
Side Note: Anniverary token just gave me 800 HP, the first useful thing I've got. Hopefully there will be more of that.0 -

You mean you didn't like that Galactus survival node with all of the DAs?0 -
If you have a diverse and well-covered cast of characters the simulator is both fun and easy, especially if it takes you 10 minutes to clear the all nodes.
For us 2-3* transitioners and below, still working on getting covers and relying on what few we have,well, it's going to take us a just a bit longer even relying on health packs.0 -
Double ISO from this event, means grinding it will be very lucrative.. AND we finally get to use our weekly boosted as well.. Lthor, KK, BP, and Rags are going to get a workout!0

It was quite thrilling destroying my entire roster to get 40seems like a suitable reward for downing the most powerful character in the MPQ universe...right?
I am a 2-3* transitioner myself and rely heavily on my 2* A Team as I don't really have a properly usable 3* apart from good ol' steve Rodgers. I just use my undercovered characters for the easier nodes and use my A team on the harder ones.
Simulator is only a breeze for me in the first round, in the last round my roster gets annihilated0 -

Juggs is my specialty, I take pleasure in humiliating him by beating him with match damage only. I dunno why I like it but I do, my record for beating an overpowered Juggs with match damage is 187 with a team of 83 level CStorm, MNMags, and Wolverine. It was a sweet moment. Says a lot about the galactus event that I enjoy such punishing things as match damage killing Juggs but hated Galactus ha ha.
Ares can kiss my tinykitty though, he's the first thing I skip in PVP.0 -
who said the 2nd running starts today. the ann runs till next monday would not be shocked if they pushed off the 2nd run till thurday0

Good. I hope Galactus never comes back, lord knows I really love decimating my roster to get a couple of **** tokens with worse pull odds than a standard token and a few critical boosts.0

What level are the hard nodes scaled for you? To be honest, both 10 minutes and 1 hour sound like exaggerations here. lol0 -

Ahhh okay cool. Yeah, that's why others say it takes them much longer periods of time, once they scale up doing a clear takes considerably longer, due to both slogging through their health, or in bad cases, getting into a loop of wiping, cursing, wiping, cursing, wiping, cursing, crying, and repeat for an hour. Will give an update in 30 min when my slice begins.0 -

God, I miss those days. Thanks again, Silver Surfer.

Only **** thing is that of course the required 4 star is the new Cyclops, which many didn't get.
Sure, some did, but I don't think it was the same % as normal releases because it's so alliance heavy.
For normal 4 star release events I always manage to get at least 1 4 star cover. These alliance-centric ones kill me.
I pulled down almost 700K for my event, but stopped pushing when the supposedly "annoyance only" fights hit Ludicrous Speed on their scaling. Our Alliance stalled out in Round 5, so looks like I'm potentially screwed out of the Legendary for this Sim PVE cause there might not be enough points for me cause I can't play the 4clops nodes.
Those fights were harder that Galactus was! At least with Galactus you knew it was pretty much rigged to kill you in 3/4 turns. But to make the play-in fights that hard too? Just another example of how much of a design mess this event was.
In no one's definition is Lv 298 Magneto, Lv 298 Doom, and Lv 298 Ragnarok "just a minor annoyance". Or a Survival battle that pops a Lv 395 Gorgon at the very end of the last wave when his team has 20+ Red and Black because of all the Ninjas.
They should just give everyone that participated in Galactus Hungers a Yellow 4Clyps as compensation for the train wreck this event was, but we all know that won't happen. We'll get a token that gives us a 2 star character.0
