    Finally coming down to the last refresh. Just a few points shy of the 8k ISO reward, don't need the 150k Black Punisher. In a solid spot to cruise into a top 10 finish. Hopefully should allow some time to work on the Psylocke tourney.

    I think the scaling/leveling this tourney was an improvement over the prior two. However I still don't fundamentally like the concept that your battles should become harder because someone else played before you and beat them.

    9-10 days definitely too long. Agree that 6-7 would be better. Although part of that comes from the grindiness of the event. A differently structured event might be fine at 10 days.

    Yeah, TaT's point structure would probably support a 9-10 day event a lot better.

    Actually I would prefer events to be closer to 4-5 days. Having to devote an entire week is just a bit too demanding. At the same time that would probably result in too much downtime though.

    I thought I wasn't going to make it to the 8k isos, I just made it. If I kept doing the event , I would probably can get another 5000 points. Sucks, that I'm only 20k from getting all the progression rewards, but I didn't do the missions some days cause I was busy icon_e_sad.gif damn work and social life!

    Yeah. I feel like 2-day events and 5-day events with 1-day subs would be the sweet spot for my playing regimen

    Got the 8k; don't need black Punisher. In #7 in my bracket - I'm keeping an eye on #11, who's at 122k and 3k below #10. I'm worried if he makes a push it'll cause a chain reaction; if he doesn't, I'm probably safe at 126k and change.

    This thing has been a godsend to my ISO; I've got most of my varsity squad to 75th level, with a handful and 73rd or 74th. And, from the looks of things, I"ll have 3-5 Black Panther covers tomorrow morning and can maybe ease off for a few days. Not thrilled about the 9 days, but if it hadn't ended on the weekend I'd be a reward tier or two down.

    Yay, I got the last 500 ISO progression award! Shame it has a picture of a goth hobo on it.

    Finished 1st overall. Gonna sell that red x force since I already have 5. Think I finished top 5 in both subs.

    1st + top 5 in both subs, for some sorely needed 5k+ iso. After my pretty irresponsible spending getting C. Mags up to level 139, I don't have any iso in the bank for BP, which is pretty bad given how he's inevitably going to be featured in the next PvP tournament.

    I got my black panthers icon_e_biggrin.gif Can't wait to get my other panthers from the psylocke tourney.

    I had 30,000 isos at the end of all these events. I know have 0! I pumped up Ares to 85 finally.

    Finished #11, about 500 points away from 10.

    I know it's all relative but I really feel like I did nothing in this event so I'm more than happy with the end result. The most I ever did a single mission was three times (total, not per reset).

    Thanks to everyone at the top and rubberbanding.

    Gosh, this event was too long
    I so didnt want to play anymore for atleast 3 or 4 days v.v

    Can someone PLEASE explain the storyline to me?
    I wasnt able to finish all quests any have no idea how it played out ;___;

    And the enemy scaling in the end...
    Someone has to explain the logic of it to me as well >.>

    Magneto is mad because Osborn's experimenting on mutants and turning them into kamikazes, so he goes to SHIELD for help to take out the iso labs. They take out a couple of labs, and then realize that something fishy is going on when the iso labs are empty. Eventually Doom shows up and apparently is working with Osborn, and it's revealed that they implanted a thing into magneto that tries to mind control him or something, but it didn't work. So Hammer destroys the labs and yadda yadda yadda. Psylocke is being all psychic and reading peoples minds during it too. Probably missed a couple of plot points, but thats the gist of it.

    Edit: Nick Fury gets captured in the middle of it (like he does in all events), and they have to rescue him.

    That's what I got in the end.
    Did you guys not?
    He was all like RAAAAR, RAAAAAAAARGH RAR.
    And everyone was all like ****!

    Then he ate Osborne - The End - then there was a 20 minute BagMan movie.

    Holy ****, blue IW off of one of the 4 heroic tokens that I got from the subs. That makes up for the 1 Psylocke cover I got from the 20-30 something odd event tokens. 4/1/5 IW and 5/4/1 X-Force now!

    Thank you <3
    I still got the beginning, but after Furys rescure I had no idea what was going on lol
    Imho they shouldnt tell the story in missions only.. weaker players just cant find out what going on, which makes no sense at all...

    Ohhh... o.o
    IW from one of the heroics <3
    Now I have one green and one blue, fun fun lol

    Nothing exciting from these last heroic tokens. Oh well, those sweet BP covers are the real prize.
