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

Well, I'm pretty sure rubberbanding is based off your/leader's sub-event scores, anyway. Still...I don't think I've played more than a couple of matches where I'm not at the max multiplier - kind of crazy.

I know it's based on sub leader but 120K overall points means I haven't exactly been slacking on my brackets. In fact, right now I'm #1 in my overall bracket and I still have the X10 on my hard sub brackets.

With Magneto NOW! and Spiderman, no team may ever make a move again

Missed a lot of node resets this Phase, but only aim to finish in top 50 in the main bracket now, since top 10 is out of reach anyways. 1-10 range from 130k to 92k in my bracket and I'm currently sitting at 65k

I'm actually glad when this event is finally over, way too long for my taste

I don't mind the length (I much prefer persistent PvE availability) but the complete reliance on timing (yet again) and 20 iso reward that really grate.

Honestly if completing a 230/230/230 four times isn't enough for all of the rewards then Demiurge have a vastly different idea of the definition of 'reward' than I do.

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.

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 think a lot of people are not on Hard mode. The Devil Dino is HIGHER lvl in easy mode now!

I'm currently sat on 15th in my main bracket with nearly 80k points, around 10k points from the top 10. I reckon I might be able to break into the top 10 if I grind enough, but I'm happy enough with a top 50 place for two Psylocke covers for now. I'm just happy to have some consistent PvE matches that have some good ISO rewards. My ever improving roster is grateful for that.

Mirrors my feelings exactly, I think barring a major disaster I'll be on for 2 Psylocke covers and I've loved being able to dive in and out of a PvE event like this.

6 green ap for an insta kill. He's a formidable little lizard.

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

I had a crack at it this morning, used Hulk, Doom and Patch. Took the attitude of taking Dino out first, put Hulk in front as much as possible to generate plenty of free green, Patch strike tiles out, and Doom attack tiles if I cascaded enough black. Managed to get three lots of Patch strike tiles out, Devil Dino was seen off in pretty short order thankfully. The rest were a piece of cake, even if the whole affair left Hulk hanging by a thread lol. Probably not a long term strategy!

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.

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.

yeah. My timings been awful and you're right, I probably don't realize how long its taking me to get thru all these 230s.

I sat down last night and played for a few hours, grinded up about 35k in points. I had a lot of fun. I utilized about 8-9 characters (Doom, GSBW, Spidey, Modern Storm, Hulk, Punisher, IM40, Classic Storm) and got wiped once or twice. Luckily, that Doombot mission (hard) is a great place to get re-healed. Didn't have to burn through a lot of health packs.

It was the most fun I've had with the game since the first month, when every match was a challenge.

I'm not really encountering the same problems that some are with the high levels on every board.

28k ahead of 1st place. My hulk is about to break lvl 100 to be ready for next round. Hello IW / Psylocke .

Gonna feel good winning 2 IW within a few days of each other. Usually my victories are quite a bit more spread out. Has been a super fun tourney so far though. Been playin the **** out of it. Lol. Sitting at 133k.

I hate how cheap Dinobite is... Bagman cockblocking Spidey makes this mission tough.

I ended up using Doom, Storm, and BWGS. Deny Green and accumulate purple until you can start the Deceptive Tactics / Lightning Storm chain reaction. Clear sailing once you get the wheels in motion.

@alien

I'm using hood / mags / doom.

Dooms black out ASAP.
Hood slows down Dino boy.
Mags for big hurts of damage from his pink. There's a lot of health to chip away. + his blue keeps the minion under wraps canceling the countdown tiles.

So I am #2 in my hard mode bracket and I do not care a bit about anything except my main bracket total. The Main node with most of my points will not refill for about two hours, but most of the lesser battles are 1500 points apiece right now.

When the nodes finally refresh, should I do them ASAP and clear the lesser refreshed ones in the final hour, or save the big points ones for last. Can I do that without losing ground in the main bracket?

#1 in sub has 36,000, I have 34,000, #3 has 25,000.

Unknown

I need some quick help here:

I'm sitting on #1 in my hard brackets, fortunately got in a not-so-competitive bracket.

However, it's supposed to be time for my rubber banding half an hour ago, but my points are not refilling. Can someone explain to me what's going on?

Rubberbanding multiplier is different from point refills/resets. The missions most likely reset to their base values but you no longer have the big multiplier because you're in first.

Ahhhh...don't know if I should go for a run through now or just wait until 2 hours before the end.....

Unknown

Seems like the bracket caps are different for me.

My hard modes only go as high as 1500 for a few of the tougher ones, down to 750 for the hardest goon one and 300 for the base ones. Perhaps my main bracket is affecting this? leader only has like 120k. Who knows

Unknown

The first sets of goon ones only go up to 300. It's the last mission (Sim 04) that's worth the big points, it has a base of 300 this time around.
