  • Lol 7 repeatable nodes.
  • I think these missions are going to turn into some kind of death march. I'm going to start early to make sure I don't get left behind!

    Worst case scenario.

    Guess I sleep when the health packs run out.

    Thank god I got my first serviceable cover from my heroic tokens all event, blue Cmag. Didn't even get to play in any of his lightning rounds this week and hes the only cover I wanted so I'm happy. 4/4/2 can now join team unfun combo, at least I will try that, probably need to to top 200 now. Today I used my 4 blue spiderman for the first time ever, needed it to clear the 1Rag 2 mooks node, followed by the 1Jugg 2 mooks. Got it done but not happy.
  • Cleared all of the nodes once, and that's good enough for me. Small smile from actually being able to reach the end of the storyline this time, but that's it.

    Calling it a night and I'll consider it a small miracle if the nodes aren't in the 150s by the time I wake up. Either way, I'm comfortable with my score if I don't score another point this event.

    Yeah no. Currently ranked #213, I think I'm just going to do one pass and see how it goes. I doubt there are enough people that are crazy enough to grind these every 8 hours.

    Famous last words.

    Naaah. I'll keep an eye out tomorrow I guess. 220k should be good enough for top 1k...right? I guess worst case ill do one last run tomorrow night.

    I swear to god... any other event with 230s back to back I am not going to play... it feels like chipping at a mountain with a hammer...

    Get a bigger hammer.

    I've gotten my Punisher from 85 to 122 in this event.
  • Mass burnout on this event. Ive been able to move from 10k to 4000th place in the past 36 hours. After hovering in the 8000th range for most of it.
  • I wish, I wish, I *wish* D3 would stop saddling me with three star heroes I've had no chance to level on story missions.

    I don't care how new I am, I should at least be able to complete the campaign. -.-

    I'm surprised how badly people want gold Thor. I can't even remember the last time I had to grind this much.
  • When are these nodes going to reset? Currently at 101983 after grinding on a couple and want to hit 120.000 for another punisher cover.

    Dang, 6 stacked nodes. Well, at least the levels aren't crazy just yet.

    Would 250K likely be enough for final top 200?

    Hahaha, I honestly think it'd be awesome if you managed to do that. That would be cause for a golf clap.

    What are you at at the moment, Hailmary? I'm hovering at 170k, my individual battles just take too long to grind any more. Also I don't have BP or Punisher at any reasonable level.

    I hope you guys learn your lesson from this and never reminisce about hulk event in a positive way again
  • Its going to condense fast at the top because the leader is not getting many points off this. Already moved up to 34th with 247k, highest place all event. Going to crash soon regardless still have all my health packs somehow.
  • Let's say the mission average 1200 out of the 6 repeatable ones (a 7th one is repeatable at 300 but probably not something people would fight over). That means there are 1200 * 6 * 3 = 21600 points per refresh, and you can probably do 3 refreshes (assuming it refreshes at all), so you can get 64800 points in the last day.

    So pretty much no lead is safe at the moment, unless you're ahead by a margin of 64800 points. That said, the difference between #1 and #76 (me) is about 30000 points, and people seem to be actually pretty well distributed at the moment, so we can assume you'll fall at least 150 places if you didn't do any mission. Of course I suspect the lower you go, the denser packed people tend to be. I guess it'd help if there's some point of reference to look at. I'm at #76 with 229K points, and #1 is at around 266K. Since there are only about 65K points left, more data points will give you a very rough (and I do mean by rough) of how much effort you need to hold certain places.

    These missions only gave points once in the orignial The Hulk event and didn't refresh either, so it was more of a victory lap than a death march.
