Fun fact: points for progression are identical to Venom Bomb run 2. I don't know how that's relevant, but it is certainly interesting.

    I am torn.
    On the one hand - great boosted and essential characters, and a new character release to boot.
    On the other hand - f-ing Florida and that Ares node...
    Who am I kidding? Ill do my best madman grind anyway..

    I like that with champions I actually care about hitting the 3* progression reward.

    Does anybody have a screen shot of the second sub? I hate hitting those one-time only nodes right after a grind.

    Unless there's a way to tell that I don't know of?

    Oh god.
    Florida, how I hate thee.

    Nothing better than doing another SEVENTEEN nodes after an end-of-sub grind.

    This is going to be so helpful. Now I can just run through the repeatable nodes as fast as I can, then tackle the one time nodes here and there throughout the day!

    I think you need to do the nonrepeatable nodes to get to the repeatable nodes, unfortunately...

    You can leave the nodes on the top left (LMD Assault) and far left (Jump Jets 2) - the rest need to be done to get to the last repeatable in the bottom left.

    I just noticed max progression was bumped +11k from the last run

    43k to 54k

    So I had to skip two clears of the second sub due to a party, will I still be able to grab the LT? Sitting at 17 325 point with 2 days 7 hours left.

    This time is a new character release event.

    Rough max points in this event is more than 81k (I don't think the top 2 on my leaderboard managed to grind all the nodes to 1 last time). So, this again fits with the theory:
    no new character: LT is between 50-55% of max points
    new character: LT is between 60-65% of max points (although this time it's slightly higher, this event also has a lot of non-repeatable nodes)

    i highly doubt 81K right now i have 55,000 with only the final grind left that should give around 15k tops...


    at least my bracket

    13k was good for top 2 first stage
    29K was good for top 2 2nd stage (15k)
    so guessing 20 to 25k is going to been needed in stage 3

    63 to 68K

    had 14k for 3rd and 21k over 10 going into this last grind tomorrow ... might as well say i got top 10 locked hopefully top 2 locked as well.

    I've cleared the final sub once for 5600, but I'm still over 20K away from the LT, so no dice for that. However, I'm also in T100 -- which I don't think has ever happened for a release PVE -- so for once I must've lucked into an easy bracket.

    To be honest, Savage Land is way better than Florida for grinding.

    Definitely. That Ares node in Florida is one of the most annoying among all PvE.

    You've got an easy bracket.. icon_lol.gif

    Just finished with 83781, so 81k definitely possible. 3rd place missed by 28 pts. I beat 2nd by 983 pts.

    My top10 after the 1st clear in Savage Land have more than 58k. A full clear without the non-repeatable nodes is worth 5k. So, 2 more optimal clears and the grind to 1 at the end would yield another 25k or so.

    I stand by my point. I'll post a screenshot at the end of the event. For now, here's the top 2 from the last event in November:
    Q2v67dA.jpg

    so last stage is worth what 25 to 27k tops?

    yea got super easy cause only about top 5 will get LT

    I think we may be in the same bracket. I did my first clear the final sub and am 18K away from the LT but also sitting in T100

    I just ground everything to 1 except the essentials and reached almost 24k. Thought it could be useful.
