If so, I am jumping on hard mode for some points while I still can.

It's funny, I'm doing SOOOOO much better (compared to the others in my bracket) in the Hard mode when compared to the Non-Hard mode, which is kinda funny.

i'm running into the same issue. Have a healthy first place lead in main and hard brackets, but struggling to stay in top 10 of the easy bracket.

Yea, it's like not even close either. I'm like #6 in my easy bracket, but #1 by like 5000 points in my Hard.

Well yeah, more people can grind in the easy mode.

That being said, if you want Psylocke, focus on hard mode the most. If you want tokens, either simulator is good (but if you can handle hard more, hard mode is obviously better since it's less competitive).

My bracket:
#1 33.6k me
#2 29k
#3 27k
...

I just broke through having max rubberband points...

Oh please let the scaling reset after this round... I don't think I can take another 7 days of this grinding...

What's your top level guys at??? I think my top enemy is around 200ish with the rest starting below that, which to me, isn't really grinding, but difficult, which isn't bad.

I am getting frustrated with the 20 iso prize, 90% of my multiple attempts reward me with nothing and there is a lot of 500 iso prizes taunting me.

With Community scaling does that mean I can grind the nodes with out screwing myself over with leveling? Or is there individual scaling along with community scaling?

This is the roster of the player in 1st in my bracket:

Hawkeye lvl 1
IM35 lvl 2
M.Storm lvl 1
C.Storm lvl 6
Mbw lvl 1
Thor lvl 6

Okay...

I reported him already, we'll see what happens

Eh, I'm sure it's just balancing. There was a guy leading one of my subs for a while that only had IM35 level 2 and MStorm level 1.

You might be right, but he has almost 20k points now, which should be enough ISO to do some leveling. But all his chars haven't been touched. It's just odd.

I thought the same thing, just getting 20iso every time on the "unclaimed" battles. I figured the mechanics was broken. Then I pulled a 250iso and now I just figured the RNG was just being particularly rude.

Wait for it... another 20 iso!

Why would they level if it is actually disadvantageous to do so?

I don't think he's necessarily cheating, just exploiting broken system mechanics, similar to tanking.

We've had threads on people saying there's not enough ISO gain, or future nerfs make people scared to invest ISO in characters. The real reason to not spend ISO is to exploit PVE matchmaking for a favourable advantage.

Isn't that the truth. I hav elike 110,000 ISO and no way in hell am I going to spend any of it for that exact fear of the enemy levels getting out of control. I'm fine as is at the moment.

I want tourney points...but I also want ISO.

And the Daken/X/Muscle mission is easy...but pays only 20 ISO.

Quite a dilemma.

Unknown

Can someone explain how this community scaling works? does it scale everyone in your bracket even if they have a bad roster??? because the guy at Nbr 1 right now, wasnt even in the top 20 3 hours ago and now he is 500 points ahead and he only has 9 heroes and his max is Daken at level 26? that seems a bit strange

What you say makes sense, but those chars that were listed are his ONLY chars. He has no chars in danger of being changed - not that he would know any better since he likely just started. He wouldn't know that it is to his disadvantage to level his chars either.

So that leaves two explanations: (a) for people with unleveled 1* rosters, there is 0 scaling and all enemies are cake, or (b) fishy business

Sitting at #1 across all 3 boards. Assuming there's something in the mechanics that's gonna not keep me there or something? With the scoring not the scaling. I will be nowhere near able to beat these 230's once they swipe my spidey stuns.

How many 230 level nodes do u have?

Anyone know if the refresh rate of nodes is 12 or 8 hours?

I earned 40k Iso this week and I just spent it all on Patch (2/3/4) to take him from Level 50 to Level 75. But now I am having buyers remorse. Was I being reckless? Does he only seem necessary and awesome because of all the Loki required missions in this Pve? Should I have spent the iso equally leveling Loki and Patch? Loki is at Level 30 (5/3)

How does one even collect that much? Any tips? All I got is 80 Thor, 50 CStorm, 50 Wolv 2*. I guess not a chance. I've only got the easy 5k iso. No Loki in my deck so I'm locked out.

So, am I getting the sense that leveling up your characters is a bad idea and to wait until you have a ton of ISO? As soon as I get enough ISO, I level up my characters...

I think people have said 12 hours, but at this point, I don't think anybody knows unless they've actually sat down and noticed the scores refreshing.



Ive been playing twice a day, so we'll see how that goes
