    I played once through each day roughly and I'm sitting at #40k, so no prizes for me icon_e_sad.gif

    Once the subs switched over to heroic tokens, I pretty much lost all interest in the event. I am still in the tier for wolverine covers so that's a good chunk of iso once I sell them I guess.

    This is TOO MUCH for the last day, with 65k you could win/loose to much in one day. I went to sleep 3 hours before the sub-event ended in the #40 position and when I woke up I was in the 160 !!! (In the last few days I have managed to remain always in the top100). Now I have beaten all the missions once and I am in the #74. You need to play hard today if you want any reward at all, play all the nodes more than once and repeat maybe even three times :S

    I really really hope it doesn't refresh, but I doubt it...

    I also woke up this morning in the lowest position I been for a long time in this event, mid 30's. Did my norrmal mornings 70 minutes before work and just crawled back into the top 10, which is now inside maximum rubber banding. Its going to be interesting to see where I am at when I get home this evening.

    I think the people who aren't grinding for top 200 have it a lot easier: I'm currently #258 having done each mission once: hopefully I can stay in the top 1000 without touching them again icon_e_biggrin.gif.

    same each mission once, and hovering at near 400s.
    its those OCD guys going for top 200 that are gonna have to grind, we'll just ride on their coat tails to maintain our position. icon_twisted.gif

    ARGH I didn't give a **** about winning XWolvie when I began the event, I 'just' wanted the 3 Thor covers, but now that I am so close of winning him, when I have been in the top 200 for all the event, I really want to win him.

    It is very curious how the human mind works, how something you didn't want or care about could become indispensable in just a few days icon_razz.gif

    Right now I am #54 with 250k, I suposse thor covers will be mine, but I am gonna have to endure a lot of work to win XWolvie

    Woke up, saw how they did the nodes, did the 1500 point mission, did the Punisher mission and got my Thor knocked out, retreated, and I'm done. I'm in about 1050th place, and hopefully won't drop below 3333rd, but at this point, it wouldn't matter if I would. I'm done.

    Congratulations developers. You've made your game too tedious to play. I've got a job and I've got a life and I've got better ways to spend my time. I'm not quitting the game entirely but I'm going to seriously dial back my playing. And I'm not spending another dime on it as long as the gameplay is like this. You've gotten too much of my money already.

    Same story here, but I don't want to see a 230 desert Daken again EVER. Unless i can build my own 230s Daken and Juggs, and I don't see this happening, it just feels the game is cheating.

    Also the sheer amount of combined health is just excruciating.

    Admittedly I don't have Black Panther but I have spent far too much time on this game this week (including when I should have been working) and I can barely make it to the top 10,000. I may have missed one day near the beginning due to, er, real world stuff. I hate to think how much time you guys in the top 1000 or so are spending.

    Well, at 258 I'd feel like that, but with 550 I feel the top1000 shaky at best with that insane amount of points left around. Certeinly I'd not take a single look at this event if the position was granted. Will look at the state at -14h mark, maybe it turns out points not resetting. But think it unlikely.

    Just enough to stay in the top 1000... just enough to stay in the top 1000... just enough to stay in the top 1000...

    AAAARGH! Was really hoping they wouldn't refresh. I just did my first pass through the nodes and am sitting at 289. I'm debating making another pass just to be safe then I'll sit there until a couple hours before this finally ends.

    Man, 7 Heroic tokens yesterday I got 2 3* covers and of course both of them were Punisher covers. I think over the last two weeks I've sold nearly a full set of Punisher now. lol He's one of 2 heroes I have fully covered at this point. What are the damn odds...

    I also wish they were one and done nodes, but I feel compelled to point out that there was a frothing mob with pitchforks and torches outside Castle Demiurge after the original Hulk events because the nodes weren't repeatable.

    Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

    The only reason I was in X-Force range was because I was trying to grab HP from as many subs as possible, but now it's all main placement so I can slack off and keep in 3xThor range and let someone who needs an X-Force get it. For those contemplating a push, I'm #216 with 233K. I won't touch the event again unless I drop below 500.

    Anyone what to have a guess what the top 200 score going to be? I think I go with 267K the leader might get another 3.5K points putting them just over 270K and with rubber banding pulling everyone in I think its going to get very tight at the top.

    Sitting on 228k points at #260 after picking up a few more of the 1k+ point nodes. I think I'm safe to wait until this evening before this closes down to see how it's going to shake out. I'd be shocked to fall out of the top 1k with this little time left which is a huge relief. Now to wait and see what the deal is with the Fearless Defenders tourney.

    I'm currently rank 92 (High of 52) @ 246619 points. Had no choice but to start this event late last Friday (est). Missing out on two amd a half days made for a very stressful grind as I wasn't sure I would be able to catch up.

    This is my third hulk event. Top fifteen, top ten, and I'm just hoping for top 1K this time around. The simulator was the most fun for me, just for the diversity of the battles. I think they need to find a way to implement the Skrulls into the storyline so we can have a good mix of enemies again.

    The problem is not them being repeatable. But the point values they provide.
    Is it really due to a 10x rubberband modifier applied based on the global leader with the 300kish points? If so they messed up the estimates AGAIN plus how many times we asked to drop rubberbanding altogether?

    Not like we're getting the wishes. I mean in a form near what we asked -- like this Hulk event is definitely NOT the one we wished for, the original was in our good memories for being not infested with new ruining stuff.
