    I am so glad I joined this one late, the grind is insane. First in mine at a measly 72k

    So lucky... I'm in one of the high-powered brackets (never again based on this new grinding style)... going to need 100k points just claim 75th for any Psylocke covers. icon_cry.gif

    Well, one shotting a 20,000hp Hulk with a level 30 Venom might be my new most favorite thing in this game.

    Can one do that with lvl 2 stun Venom and lvl 3 stun Spidey? I need all the ISO I can put my hands on :> But yeah, I defeinitely enjoyed it back when Venom was devouring lvl 115 Ragnarok for me in Prologue, while previous attempts with mBW proved futile. Pre-nerf Ragnarok was no joke. He is still awesome I think.

    I have Venom's black at 5 covers, Devour only takes 6 web tiles to eat a player at that level. It's pretty easy to get 6 web tiles on the board between the two of them.

    Venom's black always requires at least 6 web tiles, I just have troubles acquiring enough blue without oBW or mStorm.

    Don't want to continue quoting...gets too long. I wasn't sure what the requirements were for the web tiles at lower covers. I used IM40's recharge to feed more blue to Spidey...and sometimes I'll add the blue purple boost as well.

    Anyone else seeing the rewards for the Simulator subs (places 1-50) as heroic tokens and not Highly Trained?

    Yes, it's that way on purpose. The shop option for Highly Trained closes at the end of the event, and all existing HT tokens will convert to Heroics at the end, so they're just getting a jump start on that by making the last ones Heroic.

    Beat devil/storm on forest the first time, went to play it again and it was hilariously bad how much I got my **** kicked LoL

    I saved all my highly trained tokens, so they're going to convert to Heroics anyways. Wonder if ill get over 10 blue Caps.......

    Ah, thanks. I suspected/feared that might be the case, but I was hoping they could just leave the HT shop open for a day or two after the event instead.

    Well, I guess that's a little less grinding I need to worry about...

    I keep feeling annoyed that I've left so many points on the table over the course of the tournament. I'm going to get my 3 Psylocke covers which is the most important thing to me at least. But that 8K ISO was tempting.

    I love that with a day and however long left, I am pretty much forced to be done with this event. Almost every fight on both maps is now deadly, so I have pretty much no shot in them. Would have liked to be able to try to get a higher rank in them.
    What kind of roster do you have? Goon fights should be beatable even with 1-2 stars easily anyway. Think Daken-mStorm, add someone who can reliably deal with counters (cHawkeye, any blue oBW if you have her, Cap). And you still have 'Impossible' after 'Deadly', now that might actually be difficult icon_e_biggrin.gif The game doesn't evaluate levels accurately every time.

    Great, so there's an even worse difficulty? I thought it was already bad enough that all but two missions were listed as anything but deadly on both of the simulator maps combined. Right now, my highest leveled units are IM35, modern and classic storm, daken, and a modern black widow, and those are in the mid 40s at the most. I've been using the hulk I have, but it and the other units I have are at their maxes since I only have a couple covers for them at the most.

    Feel the same. I have about 150,000 like #4 in my main and I didnt play for 2 Whole Days

    I think it'd really help if they changed the refresh time to be based on server time instead of your time.

    I got probably 3 times the ISO lightly farming lightning rounds this week than the same amount of effort grinding Sim points would have gotten me. 8K is nice, but not worth the mental distress and trouble this time. You made the right choice.

    Haha I was thinking the same thing until I realised that the 250k pts is about 50k more than I'd need for 3 psylocke covers and I don't think I'd want to farm 50k more points for 8k iso as nice as the 8k sounds, probably can easily get around 1.2-1.5k each lightning round so that would be recovered really fast along with a bunch of junk tokens to boot

    I'm sitting in 1st/2nd (we been neck and neck leapfrogging) and about 50k ahead of 3rd place. I'll prolly get 200k to get the hp from wolvie. I don't think the extra effort woulda been worth it since my extra effort was needed this round. Just not as fun having your tanked buff though compared to your damage like we had with mags and doom.

    I'm at about 55k and I'm really glad I didn't spend more time grinding this thing.

    I must be in a really stinky bracket because I've been playing every event and finishing top 45 but I'm still fighting to stay top 75 for the main bracket.

    That's just because the main bracket had a 5x larger player base. + rank isn't really consistent with score. 1 sub the #45 could be 10k points. The next it may have been 4k. So a mixture of that inconsistency and the fact that your competing against 800 more players for those same amount of top 45 slots. I can see how it's misleading to you though.
