    Hi, can someone tell me if Rescue Mission: Russia V, is repeatable? Or can you only do it once for the 1000 Iso?

    The 1000 iso mission is a one off - once you beat it, it is locked

    Mine was:
    screencap with oBW, Magneto and cStorm
    I don't want to use oBW because I will be using Recon instead of Polarity shift, and this will get me nowhere... She doesn't add to the damage much, too.

    That call was even closer. Good guy cStorm, surviving like that and giving back some!
    No stockpile boosts were harmed in making of this.

    Looks like it. I was wondering the same.

    Also hate the fact that it shifts the starting/ending time of further brackets to 6am for me (GMT+1).
    Pretty inconvenient and will probably prevent me from getting a high ranking now, since I surely won't get up at 4-5am for the next 5 days.

    I reasonably sure its less than this I did them at 9-10pm last night and they all reset this morning at 7am. If it was 12 hours I never had done them again before work.

    Russia seems like an 8 hour reset to me.

    EDIT: Then again, maybe I'm wrong and now I've screwed up my refreshes ugh.

    Wowwee. That Psylocke mission was tough. I actually swapped out Patch for MN Mag.

    I've been doing the same. Much longer matches (like the proverbial pulling of teeth), but far safer.

    I actually forgot that I had done this strategy until right now. I just beat that mission again with Patch, forgetting my strategy. Seems pretty common in these long PVE - I forget what works and what doesn't.

    The levels have dropped significantly, people seem to be failing a lot on the missions now. I don't have level 230 DAs anymore.

    I was out of town at the beginning of this event and missed a lot of the first few sub-events. Did any of the easy subs get their bonus missions unlocked?

    I think there have been 3 sets of 2 since the start until this Russia mission. Out of each set one always seemed to unlock the bonus mission for 1k ISO and the other one never really made it.

    Just watching the rubberbanding climb quickly now.

    Leader in my main bracket doesn't have any characters over 64, basically his 3 highest chars are 64, 55 and 49

    Seems the scaling is still pretty strange

    With rubberbanding, how do you know whether it is fully reset or partially reset? Did the initial Russia missions go back to 3k points for anyone after the initial shot? Also, how does losing affect refresh? Winning?

    The first three rounds, the required score was so high, that none of the easy subs came close to unlocking it. On the most recent round, the required score was lowered, but was still not achieved. So close, though.... the meter hit 99% on the last minute, but never made it; ended at around 118.5m/120m. The sad thing here is that the easy ISO unlockable mission is probably only worth 500 ISO... icon_e_confused.gif

    It's tough, but if you know the value of your missions when their stack is full (5/5) and you don't clear one fight, you can figure out the value the other fights will be when full since they all have the same multiplier. The easiest way to keep track is just to write down the last time you cleared a mission + it will be worth full points again 12 hours later. It would be much easier if there were a visual indicator of how many fights worth points are left.

    Yeah, I completed the fight quite early and when I came back is was worth a lot (about 3k or so) but it depends how far other people are ahead of you. I doubt they'll get back to quite that value for me before the end.

    It has no effect.

    It scales to your level. That's not unusual. Whether it should be that way is the subject of vigorous forum debate. But it's certainly the way it's intended to be.

    This is a real bummer. I really like the progress bars toward unlockable high-payoff missions, but it's silly that they set the bar too high. The easy subs are already worth considerably fewer points; compounding that difficulty with a higher target just feels redundant. And if scaling is working as intended, then there shouldn't really be any reason to think that the easy sub is going to be played three times as much.

    I don't remember when I finished my last set but at leaset 1 or two didn't reset yet. Does anyone know the point ratio for full stacks for 1/2/3/4/Psy/Mags?
