Ugh MN now but not C Mag

Guess I need to pump ISO into him.

Agreed. Mine's sitting at 3/5/5 and Level 6.

Yeah, you guys know your way really. Mine was like that for ages and now pumped to mighty lvl 22.

Really strange balance change: was bewilder proving to be really good during testing? I thought that it was Psylocke's weakest ability.

Awwwww yeah, time for 141 Punisher to stomp everything.

Same impression here, I got only 2 covers but felt not missing anything by not having the blue. Looks pretty useledd, and now even made expensive.

However if I could chose the color to steal -- that should be natural for such ability both play-wise and thematically -- it at least would have a fighting chance.

Ugh, botched my timing on the first subs. Went strong out of the gates, but got distracted by stuff. Thought I could make another push just before the subs ended and then slept right through. Went from 1 and 2 to top 100 and top 50. Still, it's only the first day, and I've managed to get back up to top 10 in my main. Just got to stay consistent.

Looks like participation on this event is low. Is it any wonder? So far not seeing any level 230 mobs, but it's getting there. Currently the enemies are at level 160-ish and many of the battles are a slow slog. Devs really need to re-think enemy scaling. If it's keeping players from playing, is that really what they want?

I suppose it depends on the way their changes affect revenue. If their actions result in attrition of older players with an increase in revenue from newer players, then yes it is what they want.

The real fun in this game is winning without paying, no matter what changes the devs make.

Well I have full 230 levels in both subs. You just didnt get there. So far for me it is painful grinding. Yesterday I did full clear but today I just can't force myself anymore. So I did i think 4 clears (5 being max) and I plan to do one more sweep by the end of event. So far it has been working for me and I'm first in my main event.

I'm in an easier main bracket, so I think 2 full clears per subs is going to be enough for me.

Namibia 2 both non-character ones are marked Deadly, and I don't have cap or psylocke. So I can't do anything. Sigh.

Unknown

The scaling on this seem to got out of control really fast, and almost all the main missions have level 230 heroes is a pretty bad idea.

1. Daredevil required chracter in goon match... WHY? This is oscrop tinykitty (worst pve i've seen) all over again. He does nothing vs goons.

I wanted to say the same. Making DD required in a goon-only fight? That is a major ****.

Unknown

I've officially given up. I've grinded down all the levels I can and did what I could with the really hard ones, but I'm still too far behind to catch up. Tomorrow morning, scaling will have put them all at 230. Unless the next sub is a cakewalk, I'm taking my talents to the lone star event. Anyone else? On second thought, don't follow me. Don't want new competition.

No way China is getting unlocked at this pace.

I missed a refresh, so my guys are still <100
at least that's why I think my guys are that low. I am mainly using psylocke and characters <60, don't know if that helps. My mobs are slightly going up from the community pushes though.

My enemy are all level 230 but I won both of my sub brackets so I assume that's got something to do with these levels.

Blah Im just starting my second subs now. Hope I can still finish top 10 in main.

So, was it global that we didn't unlock the ISO event for both subs last time? It looks like China is at risk again this time too. Makes me wonder if there's a level of burnout from 2 grindy, week long PVE events back to back like this. Could also just be that it's the weekend and maybe as we get to weekdays it'll pick up?

No, the bar for the easy bracket is just set way too high. If the number of people in the hard bracket is normal, you'd need at least 3 times the players this game currently has to hit the normal goal because it's about 3 times more points and missions are worth less in the easier bracket, but they're not really any easier than the hard bracket.

i have to be honest fellas. after grinding out a top 2 vs a constant barrage of level 230s in the simulator for 9 **** days, this PVE is just not doing it for me. ill grind it out @ my leisure to ensure at least 1 BP cover, but im not sweating things. best of luck to all who choose to go hard.

Yeah, grinding out 230's has burnt me out as well, I'm kind of just sitting on the rubberbanding to do my work for me

No way China is being completed at this pace.
