    Is anyone even close to getting 8kiso reward or the progression rewards past 150k? I'm 3rd at 112k and 1st is at 122k. They look unacheiveable at this point unless you want to grind 24/7...

    Someone by the name of Gapsule (highest character level 61 Daken) has 153,000. I have seen a lot of this person lately and haven't seen any of their characters level up.

    The rubber band is long then. Currently at 116K and the 1500 max rubber missions are only offering 1252 ie around 80% of possible max.

    Almost makes me want to continue grinding those low point mission until I get all their reward token... almost.

    Lightning Rounds tomorrow.

    EDIT: Skipping two refreshes has put me 20,000 points behind the leaders in the main bracket with no chance to catch up - I approve of this. My high-level characters let me score in the top 25 easily and top 10 if I really work at it, but they do not let me enter the Event at will and dominate. As for the points, in Hard mode my top mission caps out just shy of 3000 points after a full refresh. I wonder if they will hit 5000 as the leaders in my bracket pull further away.

    Devil dino is killing people. Its the only node under 200 for me. While almost everything is 230s, that has now dropped to lvl 187. Either people are just bypassing it or getting slaughtered.

    Yea, he's pretty tough. Gotta deny Green of you're toast. Unless Summon Demons 1-2 times and he's toast though.

    I am not even trying that one this time around. Devil Dino has mauled me in the past (two therapy sessions left) so I am steering clear. I have a score to settle with Ares, Thor, and Hulk though. Ares sundered me into oblivion today, that jagoff.

    I use Magneto/OBW/Hulk and as long as you matched 6 blue before they get 6 green, you should be okay with Magneto's ability to generate ridiculous amount of APs on his blue. Hulk can also take a Prehistoric Bite and survive if it gets down to that, and he'll be generating a ton of AP for your team since every hit is almost certain to trigger Anger.

    So i get that everybody's enemies scale differently but do the points scale too? i'm asking cause i have done the normal sim every 12 hours and knocked all missions down to 1 each time yet i am still over 1000 points behind 1st and thats the only thing i can think off unless some guy has been playing 1000 missions for 1 point apiece. Nobody is that bad.........i hope?

    Yes.

    It is called rubber banding. You get increased point multipliers depending on how far you are behind first place. So the timing of when you do missions is important. If you lead the way you can complete all missions and get maybe 5000 points. That's a guess, didn't even try math.

    Now if someone else starts they are 5000 points behind you, good for a 10x point multiplier on their first mission. Their multiplier will trail off the closer they get to your score, but they will get way more points for this clear. Then you start your second clear with a score boost because you are behind.

    Final placing usually comes down to timing your last clear. Start too soon and you don't get enough point multipliers and you fall behind. Start too late and you don't complete enough missions.

    This event is an exception because it appears that people are being stopped by the difficulty of missions. So clearing more missions may give you a clear score advantage before the final clear round.

    I've been using Classic Storm/IM40/GSBW for the Devil Dino fight. Wind Storm boosted is a very nice thing, as is GSBW's Sniper Rifle. And IM40 generates AP for them both. I have to take out Punisher first in that fight, though, because the one time I didn't his strike and attack tiles took out my entire team.

    What is driving me crazy about that fight is that I have 3 of the 4 rewards left and it will not give me anything but 20 ISO.

    I don't know what everyone's score is, but is 300,000 possible? I only have 64,000 points, but the leading person in my bracket has 112,000 points. With only 3 days left, I don't know if the top players will make it.

    Top guy in my bracket Is just north of 134k. I am 3rd with about 130k. Not sure abt hitting 250k for the 8k iso at this rate.

    Also, is everyone actually seeing 12 refreshes? It feels like its closer to 14 hrs before my stacks fully max out but I wonder if thats bc I have generally been hovering top 5 the whole time.

    Exactly 12 hours for me, every time.

    Giving up on 1st/2nd. Assignments are catching up to me and I don't care enough about the yellow IW.

    My heroes keep getting killed - Devil Dino is so strong...

    I might be able to manage Top 50 in my main bracket but there is no way I can break into the Top 10. They were out of reach since day 1 and they have remained untouchable throughout. I applauded their dedication. i admit, I did not dedicate enough time to MPQ this event to deserve all three new powers.

    The extra 2 hours probably comes from clear time.

    Are you measuring from your last start time or end time?

    Stacks refresh 12 hours from when you cleared it.

    The boredom with this event has really set in for me.

    I think I've done the nodes in this round of subs maybe twice each, with the exception of Sim 04 in Hard Mode - I've been farming that fairly consistently in order to keep my main score somewhat relevant. I've slipped a little, down from averaging #15 to averaging #20. All of the "featured" villains so far (Doom, Mag, Loki) I've only had at 1-2 covers, so I'm looking forward to taking Hulk out for a spin in the final set - I've got him at 5/2/2 currently, and just shy of being soft capped.

    I'm at 74170 points at the moment, so I'll hit the 75k reward next time I take care of Xforce+DD. I figure I might be able to make it to the 100K prize for HP.

    At 120K points and all my hard missions still have 10X modifier. I wonder what kind of score the overall leader has?
