New PvE progression, requesting math help

So I see that the top CP reward for progression is set at 156000. Nodes give full points for the first 6 clears now, but that still seems like quite a large number.

I was wondering if someone more math inclined could figure out if this means more/fewer clears required per sub to get the CP progression reward.

    Would need the node values in each sub to figure that out, and guys are saying that values for the waves are less now than past runs, so not sure the data will be available up front.

    It's about 3x full points to get the progression right now, so the full point values in EotS would have to be around 52k over 7 subs for the grind to the be same.

    I'd guess you've gotta do at least 4 now, if not 5-6, but I'm a bit pessimistic today.

    Late sub wave nodes in EotS give thousands of points each. They'll be hard as hell to grind, but the points will be there.

    If they didn't break the quasi linear buildup of points that usually takes place here's some theoretical targets to shoot for:

    Day - Points
    1 - 14,000
    2 - 30,000
    3 - 50,000
    4 - 73,000
    5 - 98,000
    6 - 125,000
    7 - 156,000

    If the last day is weighted more heavily then these numbers will be off. It's my own person numbers I use based on guestimates where the last day is roughly double the first day and theres a buildup inbetween. It's worked well as a guide for me for the last couple months to let me know if I'm ahead of the curve or need to grind more.

    156k for a 7 day.
    7 days means 22,285.71/day
    Usually 9 nodes so 2476.19 /node/day

    So if you do it these number of times, this is what the approx. average of the nodes must be

    6 413
    5 495
    4 619
    3 825
    2 1238
    1 2476

    You can't do that in this event, there is a couple of days, one specially, where before you would be able to score a lot more than the other days. This event it is nothing but linear icon_razz.gif
