    They should call these tokens "The Hawkeye" instead of "The Hulk". Not very appropriated named IMO icon_rolleyes.gif

    Anyone else see an abnormal change in rank on the last scoring? I was #10 and #2 in my respective brackets with >1 min remaining and I got notified that I finished in the top 100. hmm... I suppose my counter could be lagging.

    Yea, the days of easy rubberbanding to top 10's are over. Take it from me, I was the king of abusing that system (out of necessity, since I can only play 1-3 hours a day).


    I wasn't even able to get any BP covers in the last PvE deploying my usual tactics. I'll be lucky to place for one of Thor covers this event.

    To my shock, I actually pulled 2 Hulks with my tokens.

    Both were green. (Which I have maxed out months ago). icon_cry.gif

    If you want a good overall placement it's important to do the main story missions which is likely permanently fixed at X10 unless you're really close to the top.

    According to the patch notes there shouldn't even be a Hulk in that pool until we unlock him in the main event. Not surprised though icon_e_wink.gif

    Im not really bothering with this event too much. I just open up the subs, wait till the morning, then do one run through of each node. then just before end time do 1 run through again. Got me 2 tokens every round so far. Sitting about 3k in main sub.

    Probably depends on your bracket and people playing in that last minute. In mine I was 16th and dropped to 21st (moved from from 25 to 21 in the other). The range was 20-100 so you probably fell to about the same. I'm so bummed, I really pushed for that top 20.

    The new rewards for the sub-events have switched from The Hulk tokens to just regular heroics token...

    Anyone else seeing the same thing?

    Late joiners aren't getting the benefits from rubberband like the old Hulk mission. I was busy so I didn't play the first day, and I'm not getting good rubberbanding at all. Seems rubberband is based on sub mission scores, like the recent PVE events.
    The points for main missions will be max multiplier if you are behind, so you should be able to catch up if you have missed some subs & keep grinding main missions, but won't have a huge advantage in subs. There's probably about 6k points available per refresh of the main bracket.

    8 tokens so far. All 2* so gotta keep trying. Hoping for Hulk black or Black Panther (any color since I'm cover limited, but black would be best).

    Those notes are based on the old Powered Up/Gamma Bomb packs which isn't even the name of the token being handed out (Hulk Comic pack or whatever).

    5 tokens, 2 hulk, 1 punisher, 1 black espionage (I actually needed it, though I don't use her), 1 Hawkeye. 10 sec early pulled a red mag from my heroic from the daily. So I don't know about Hawkeye token. More like...250-500 iso token icon_e_smile.gif

    About that magneto. I have a 5/3/5...I am going to hold onto it, and while I Like 5/3/5 as is currently I might use the red to make it 5/4/4 if only because the red is so much harder to get than the purple in case the change for him is very drastic. I don't know though. It's losing a few hundred per swap on purple which is mildly noticeable.

    Modern Hawkeye and OBW from my tokens. Going to be quite disappointed if I don't come up with a black or red Hulk by the time this finishes. It's been a long time since I've pulled a 3* from one of these tokens too icon_e_sad.gif .

    LOL, again, not surprised. I think they are called "The Hulk Comic Pack (featuring Modern Hawkeye)". Seriously, he's literally all I've gotten from every single token from this event. On a positive though, I pulled a GSBW and Spidey from two of my standard Recruit Token drops earned from PvE. Not that I needed them, but it's a hell of a lot more exciting then seeing that smug Hawkeye. He's laughing at me, I know it.

    I decided to respec from 5/3/5 to 5/4/4. So glad it did. Do it and you won't regret it -- It's a real game changer.

    Got a Rulk from one of my tokens, now at 5/3/2. Kinda happy, but also kinda sad 'cause I need 0 greens, 0 reds, and 3 blacks. :C

    C. Magneto unbuffed is never going to one-shot anyone with 10,000+ health. In PvE, Magnetic Translocation I cannot one-shot many of the villains. Four in blue makes more sense than 5 in purple there.

    My blue cover is about to come up in daily rewards and I plan to make the change.

    I feel this is a fair way of doing the rubberbanding. Although how many missions in the main event are replayable? Aren't the sub event ones not repeatable? Only the other one? I didn't really pay attention to the main sub since I assumed they were not repeatable, better get started now icon_e_smile.gif

    Did everyone's missions start out as "normal" today?? Before they all started as easy the last couple days and worked its way up to deadly, but now it starts of normal for me. There is nothing normal about level 230's lol

    Just a heads up. I just checked the sub-event rewards and all Hulk reward tokens appear to have changed to Heroic tokens. Probably just a mistake but I hope they change it back or we have a mess on our hands.

    Over/under on how many posts it takes for someone to ask if Rulk is the Gold Character variant of the Hulk?

    I'd just like to pipe in that I use Magneto for his blue and purple in PvE events, and Punisher's red. The purple is still a solid nuke, and the blue helps generate AP / mix up the board / destroy goon countdown tiles in droves! Red is only good if you have no other reds (of worth anyway - it's a better red than most, but things like Punisher and a properly teamed-up Patch would be better), or have produced several strike tiles (...like Patch) to flick enemies to death.

    I thought it'd be a clever way of saying red Hulk, kinda like.. yeah!
