I loved it. They need to do more wacky combos like these.

Seems to me the only ones who actually stand a chance of winning either daily has to have a crew of 120+. I haven't been playing long enough to have that, but do have two characters, bp and obw both at or just over 100 "boosted"... but don't have all the powers, etc. So, not even thinking it's possible to catch up given every node in both dailies, minus one in each, all have 120-200 challengers. Tried a few without much luck....rags at 180 is kind of incredible from what I see fighting him though.

Level scaling allows anyone to have a chance of winning. Imo having the required guest character plays a bigger role. Having any of the powered up characters also helps. I have a lvl15 BP and find him useful even on missions where he's not required.

Yeah, bp does help quite a bit. Mainly running bp, thor and obw through most nodes, and works pretty well. Bp 1/1/1 for black, obw 3/5/5 for purple/blue and thor 5/2/1 for yellow, green, red.

For me, I'm actually more interested in the main event progression awards. Being at over 122k, I'm trying to get to 140k for the iso chunk. That's why replaying some of the dailies helps for me. I managed to grind the Sahara level and got all the node rewards finally, but at a stand still for any major jumps in progression due to scaling I think.

One GREAT thing it looks like was adjusted was the issue with getting 20iso so much. At least in Sahara it was. Current stuck around top 30 in both Sahara and amazon...not sure if another refresh is happening before it closes though.

And the event scaling is jumping off the deep end already. Most encounters are in the triple digits and rising rapidly. Outstanding.

And it was actually decent for quite a while, too...

Well...I dumped 20 bucks so I could buy few more levels for Thor to help out. Now have him at 5/3/5 for the event... As in boosted state, 5 red is over 1k damage. And green does great cleanup for me. Thinking of boosting yellow to 5 though after the event and dropping red to 3 possibly.

Man for some reason I thought this was the 2nd last sub, there's still 2 days left gah.

67th atm with some more acceptably difficult points on the table to grab. I think I'm going to play for the covers now and not the tokens/hp, join subs right away and farm lower level nodes. If the scaling gets out of hand its the last bend. I think the X-force is more important to me than more random 2* covers. All I got from this event is 2* some that I "need", useless green hulks with my daily green also coming up to throw out and a red daredevil. Decent amount of hp and infinite iso at least. Sitting on 130k+ and no idea what to do with it.

IIRC from the last Hulk event, isn't there one more set of subs, and then the final day is nodes on the main event?

The lack of further progression rewards does tend to sap enthusiasm. What's crazy is that this event may end with the leader nearly double the highest progression reward.

I know what you mean I already called it a night for this set of subs with about 4K points on the table.

The final round of subs usually closes 12 hours before the event ends. Five or six fights show up in the main bracket during the final 12 hours. They were not repeatable for extra points during the first two times they ran the event.

Might they have shut off PvE tanking completely? That might explain the rise in levels everyone is experiencing now

Unknown

Ugh. So frustrating. Level 180 moonstone with her snipers. 2 games. First one did ok but lost obw. Moonstone cascaded for 10_15 ap in every color. But I pulled it out. 2nd game same thing but she took out 100'patch in one turn. I'm still,looking for the fun in this event.

Hmm if thats true thats good for my sanity. I was going to join the last set of subs early as joining late is starting to hinder progress. I am moving up in rating but falling further behind first if that makes any sense. Need to play as safe as possible.

Yess! Finally managed to clear 160k, earning my first green Punisher cover. I don't know if will have the time nor patience to keep grinding, so I will likely just make sure I stay in at least the top 6666 to get at least one Lazy Thor cover. Currently at 161,042 in 1,708th place.

That 20 iso reward streak when you have 3 rewards remaining is the most annoying thing ever. They really need to change that, I swear.

It drives me crazy and makes me put the game down.

It's pretty bad that your chances are 50/50 that you'll get a "Zonk" reward.

You shut yo mouf!

But seriously, who did you use against Rags 'n Double Wesley?

Unknown

The crazy minion/villian combos probably should be very low in level if they're not propped up by Spiderman, who is very good against such combos because there's only one person you need to stun to stop the whole team.

There's nothing remotely fair about a villian that can do his move every other turn. Ares getting green fed is probably even worse, because you might get lucky against Godlike Power, but level 230 Onslaught is definitely going to kill you.

I've done the same mission 9 times and still not got my 2nd reward from it

You'd be better off with 3/5/5 indeed, it his the best build post changes imho. The 5 in yellow really does add a bunch of green to the board generating cascades and getting you almost enough green for Call the Storm.

Ugh, 85 Thor is already a pain in the **** I can't imagine 141 Thor
