Wondering how many people messed up when they did not check their nodes for the second stage of the PVE today. Thats right its a 48 hour nod. Was in 5th place after day one but cause i though it was a 24 hour nod who knows how bad this will knock me


Lets keep it either per 24 hour nodes or 48 hours nodes

who else is sick of changing up the times in the middle of events.

Really i think all 3 days should be 24 24 24 and 4 days should be 48 48

at least it gives me the rest of the weekend off now ..no reason to play since top 20 is probally out of reach and who cares if you take 21th cause you get the same cover as 100th

    I don't think there are enough events that would fit the 4 day slot that have only two or four subs - I think Deadpool vs MPQ is the only one that fits the bill, in fact. Would you like to play that every time there is a new character release?

    Yeah, it's terribly hard to remember that 4 day events are 24/48/24.

    It's MPQs version of the Darwin awards.

    If only there was a timer that clearly displayed this information...

    I really wish there was a place the game displayed how much time was remaining in an event. Maybe an informative black bar across the top of the sub event page. It could include the name of the sub (For example Mediterranean) and the TIME LEFT, say... 1d 8h.

    I think there's some unused space right underneath where it tells me how much HP I have, and right above where I can find out the event rewards via the trophy icon. Seems like that would be a great place to put that information.

    Obviously the best option would be for every node to be 24 hours long with the added bonus that we don't miss out on an extra event token.

    I'll take the extra 50HP in top 10 for the sub (100, 250, 100 versus 100x4) plus one less grind over an extra token every time.

    Heck, I'll just take one less grind every time.

    I'm more motivated to push for top 10 in a 48 hour sub. 50 vs 100 HP is not a big deal, but 100 vs 250 is... At least it feels that way.
    Also, the 48 hour node always seems to end on Sunday, meaning no grinding needed on Saturday. I appreciate that.

    how is 48 hours different from 24?
    you still beat each node every 8 hours...

    Yeah, I noticed sub 2 is 48 hours and immediately shouted it out in my alliance chat. I'm personally t10 in a very tight bracket, and this is the sort of mistake that drops you down like a rock.

    24 hour: hit, hit, hit, grind
    48 hour: hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, grind

    Hitting the nodes every 8 is the same but 24-24 vs 48 means only having to grind once instead of twice.

    I actually prefer 48h subs and wish they would do more of them. I get more freedom in 48s

    In other news ... wow, that PVE is still labeled "Dark Reign"??? Thought that was dropped a while back, and the Dark Avengers were promoted to usual suspects status.
    All the stories that are part of the Dark Reign storyline are labelled as Dark Reign. Only the game's subtitle was removed.

    Yea yea. 3-day events should have a 72 hour node. 4-day events should be 96 hours, and a week-long event should be 168 hours, no?

    If only there was an in-game timer, multiple forum posts and a reminder in the alliance in-game chat. Not counting LINE, because we miss you there.

    Sincerely, your fellow CAGPVEngers.

    Unstable ISO used to be like that. It wasn't pretty.

    dont think all 4 day events are that are they?

    o well like i said im just going to to the final reward and stopping

    21 is the same as 101 and already have top 100 mostly locked


    ALSO

    a retreat treated the same as a lost meaning that damage still counts right

    Deadpool vs MPQ is 2x48 hours. I think all other 4 day events are 24, 48, 24 hours.
    I certainly wouldn't complain if The Hunt was retooled so the 48 hour node was NOT FLORIDA though...

    EDIT: I think Thick as Thieves is 4 x 24 hours now. So that's two deviants...
