EotS LT progression

Just wondering if the LT progression has gone way up, or something, in EotS. I'm at #6 in my bracket, just finished first clear of penultimate sub (Hand Fortress), and I'm still over 50k pts short. I figure 27-30k left in today's sub, so I should make it tomorrow, but barely.

Usually I make it with, at latest, my first clear of the final sub. This looks more like 3rd or 4th clear.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

    Just asked the same question in the main event discussion page... icon_e_smile.gif

    How many points is one clear of the Hand Fortress worth?

    8699, if one hour late didn't put me in rubber band range, even so, can't be by much

    Thanks. Three clears should be worth around 25K then, and 30K should absolutely be doable. The question is then how many points can be squeezed from the last sub... 50K is probably possible, but it's going to be touch and go for me to get the LT. We'll see.

    I'm in the same boat. Only did 3 full clears in previous subs, plus maybe a survival node once or twice extra. Usually that's enough. There's probably enough points left to get there, but I doubt I do this one again for a legendary token. They aren't THIS valuable to me.

    Question. I have approx, 70k points and my Daredevil Hell's Kitchen sub (or whatever) is ending in a couple hours. I've never seen progression rewards this high, and the DD/Hk section is only giving 550 points or so per node; is it mathematically possible for me to get legendary? I mean with the low point values it seems completely out of the question!?

    The bar is much higher. Other events, just doing 3 full clears each sub means you will hit the legendary just before if not on your first clear of the last sub. This event, I had to hit the higher value nodes for a 4th/5th hit each sub just to keep up. I went into the 2nd last sub at 95k so assuming I continue to do the same thing as earlier subs, I expect to be at 120-125k. Hopefully the last sub has 15k+ per clear. Otherwise, it's going to be a lot of grinding to get that last 50k.

    I feel like I would have been a lot safer if I actually did grinding in the first subs. I barely did any at all due to bad time slice and having company around, which put me into the same danger zone everyone else seems to be (~90k at end of Hell's Kitchen).

    With 70 K points it's going to be very tough. I think you can get around 30K points in Hand Fortress, but we still don't know how many points will be available in Rescue Nick Fury. I think I'm going to need at least 50K from that one...

    Optimistic speculation: they set the legendary at about 75% of the highest scores of the previous run of the event. The last run of EotS was a 4* release, so points were inflated, and the next run it will be set at an easier threshold.

    Pessimistic speculation: they decided legendary tokens were too easy to get in PvE, and they will all be this difficult to get going forward.

    This is the sort of thing we all wish there was more communication on.

    If the missions average out to 1000 points a run or so it looks like I might be able to do it with 15 runs...so why am I typing here I better get shuffling.

    Got my LT this morning during the second clear and pulled a purple Kingpin.
