    Do we know the recharge rate for the sub events? Usually its 8 hours so mine should have refreshed a few minutes ago but they are all still sitting at 1.

    My main map missions which I completed about 8 hours ago are refreshed (I had ground them down to one, they are now like 100, 60, 60). I'll be able to confirm the 8 hour refresh soon for my first sub and for my second sub around 11:30 EST.

    The rule of thumb is: 24 hour sub - 8 hour refresh. Anything longer - could be 8, could be 12.

    Putting a 12 hour refresh in a 24 hour sub doesn't seem to make sense, given that that means a maximum of one refresh per day.

    My scaling is so majorly tinykittied.

    Try restarting the game. This happened to me too, but when I shut it down and reloaded, they'd all dropped to manageable levels.
  • Haven't had a chance to really start yet but what teams are people running? Despite having a maxed Hulk and 128 Punisher I feel like Thor, OBW and Panther will get me through most of this.

    Anyone doing anything interesting as far as teams go?

    Thor OBW and Panther sounds fun - off to Canada to try it out!
    The last PVE got me hooked on punisher/spidey/marvel now magneto for any/all goon missions. Three pink matches and it's all over but for the stunning

    OK - I logged off the game to post the rant above and logged back into the game and the levels have just dropped down to 71ish for Osborn's New Scheme. What the hell is going on - I was already on the latest patch...

    This event is just wiping the floor with me, especially when it comes to the Hulk. I'm just glad I got in early before the connectivity problems/sudden spike in difficulty (managed to get through all of the rounds at least once beforehand). Hulk's gone from level ~35 to 199 and most of the other fights are full of level 100+ goons, plus none of my heroes are even level 60 yet, so I don't think I'll be able to take advantage of the refresh that should be coming up for me soon.

    It's frustrating, too, to see that I've managed to get almost all of the points possible so far (almost all of my non-Hulk missions are down to 1 point rewards, and Hulk's only offering me 100-300) and there's still people thousands of points ahead of me. Feels like the game's rigged against me.
  • People have mentioned the event gave hulk covers like candy?
    Cept for the accidental unlock which I missed due to sleep, how does that work?

    when the points reach the milestone it gives a free hulk cover ( green past 2 times), then u gotta get lucky with the packs
  • Most of the missions have been around 100-110 for me, which is manageable, except for the 3x sniper mission, which is at like 170 and I'm just not going to do. Hulk was at 178 first, and I won it with only Spidey going down, then it dropped all the way to 166, which was listed as easy, and I did beat it that time with no one down.

    I'm not going to kill myself on this one. I wouldn't mind a Super Saiyin Thor, but with this starting and ending during the week, work just isn't going to let me do really well in this one.

    That is about where I am at. It is almost not playable for me with these enemy levels. It certainly isn't any fun.

    Anyone else have a missing mission node in the main Hulk event?

    This morning when I started playing there were 4 nodes. After playing 2 of them one went missing and I'm left with just 3.

    One of the 4 nodes you saw was the one that will be unlocked when the "Recruit the Hulk" progress bar is filled. There was a bug where the points total was a lot lower so the node was available for awhile before they fixed the points total.

    Takes farrrr farrrr too long. Taking spidey to an all goon fight is a recipe for boredom.
    Try patch/OBW/m storm. Once you pop berserk it is game over, you have the blue timer reset, red to clear pointless enviro tiles. Storm black attack tiles once you have berserk in play and OBW is able to steal AP to slow tile deployment. It feels impossible to lose, and matches are dead quick.

    I love this forum. So many interesting team combos to try out! And very little hero overlap means I can save on the health packs! You guys are the best!
  • M enemies are at a decent level (160-200), but I suspect after a few days I will be facing walls of 230's again. Hope I'm wrong.
  • Thor/Modern storm/Punisher is working for me. Call of Storm is deadly. icon_twisted.gif

    Patch/OBW/Panther

    Steal and increase countdown timers with OBW until you can get off a Berserker Rage, then Rage of the Panther dem suckers. Absolute destruction. And this is just with a level 30 Panther and 2 black covers. The buff is crazy.

    If there are any left, one OBW match should be all you need to clean up the rest. Strike tiles + Espionage = bye bye.

    Almost maxed my Patch, 5 levels to go! icon_twisted.gif
  • All my enemies are level 230 besides the Hulk solo ones (which aren't 230 for some unknown reason), but if past history is supposed to have any weight I don't expect to ever see anything below level 230.

    Black Panther's yellow is actually pretty good for offense if you got a crit match on a environmental. I had like 260 EP somehow and made 10 attack tiles and that made short work of the other team.
  • Time to do sub 1 and then start sub 2. No idea if I've hit max rubberband but oh well.
  • /sigh

    I enjoy a day out at the beach, and the forum goes to all tinykitty...

    Oh, well. Carry on then! Just a normal day at the office icon_lol.gif

    In other news, observations are in progress on the scaling in this event. I can already determine that some knobs and dials have been turned in regard to scaling on this event compared to the Brotherhood event (and no, I can already say that it is not for the better). Pretty sure I can reasonably explain what is going on in a broad sense, especially with the 230s everyone is seeing again, and also in regard to scaling.

    My brain might not make it far enough tonight to actually post my observations, once I reach my target number. If not, I'll finish the post in the morning.
  • I wasn't around for the last hulk event, but wasn't why people enjoyed it was the free hulk covers?
    has anything changed except the scaling?
