FIX YOUR GAME

  • It's because the devs are still tweaking scaling and pushing out stealth updates, so restarting your game would force your client to get the new updates.

    "tweak" is a word but I don't think it applies to this at all icon_e_smile.gif. All my enemies were 60 or less, then connection error, then 160-230. That's not a tweak, it's a clusterfuck.

    I was hoping for a rerun of the Hulk event because the first time I was low lvl, I managed to do almost all missions with the buffed characters, but couldn't do the high lvls ones. It was fine, I was low lvl and I understanded that I coulnd't do everything like the high lvls... Now that I finally have some lvl 85 characters I though I could do all the event and maybe, just maybe, be competitive enough to have some nice rewards. Yeah, thats until you decided to continue with the broken lvling/scaling system.

    I've done a full run on both subevents, managed to beat hulk at lvl 115. Went back to see the scaling and BOOM! everything is now lvl 60+ and hulk is lvl 176... and we are on day one! so it seems this event will be another **** one like every PvE event since the scaling came into play. The game was fun with "dificult" events for everyone, didn't need any fix and you went for it. I really can't understand the reasoning behind this system, how can you think is fun to get destroyed by those scaling missions while you see people with lower lvl roosters getting more points that you? Its not bad enough that I can't play more now than before being higher lvl, I have to see how lowbies can clear the events better than me because they have lower lvl missions?

    Please reconsider this scaling system, it's getting really boring trying to play those PvE events and being unable to do it properly because the scaling is insane.

    I'm hoping that at least the scaling reset on every sub or this 9 day event will be reaaaaaally long and boring for me.

    I've tried restarting several times, 4-5 to be exact over the last couple of hours. And rebooted my phone at least once. Mind you, I'm not getting 230L enemies in each level/node at least, but most Hammer are in the 55-75 range and most DA rounds are in the 80-90 range, and Hulk (in Nevada) is 185 - and Hulk/Canada is 195 or so.

    And yes - when I started it was all less.... but then I got the whole connection error thing too, couldn't get it to load for 10 minutes or so, then finally came back up. Bam, everything started whacking out. So far, some of the levels have changed numerous times... from 55L to 85L then back down - when originally they were 15L-25L.

    Not sure what that means for my "placement" in the game, but not seeing how it's even remotely possible for me to get that far point wise at all. I mean, I've literally only been playing maybe a week and a half thus far, so still fairly new. The ISO-8 brotherhood event last week helped me to level up some characters and get some decent rewards, etc. But still, I only have 3 characters near 50 - most around the 30'ish range still. Most of the "powered" up characters - BP, I just got one of each of his cards in the last event, so he's only 1/1/1 and leveled him as high as I can - Thor, have hardly found any of his cards.... literally just got Modern Hawkeye earlier today, naturally, not leveled, and my OBW, just got her too so she's not leveled very much at all as I haven't gotten many cards either.

    So my choices of characters, if "powered up" - help with staying alive longer, but lack any real punch. In anything like the Hulk rounds, I don't have Spidey yet, and the main other stunners I have are BW and CStorm. Neither of those being powered up - they just got their **** handed to them fairly quickly with a couple of Hulk Smashes and thunderclaps.

    Point is, looks like I at least have some shots at nodes other than Hulk, at least in Nevada - but Hulk looks like a pretty much no go here.
  • What the hell is going on in the hulk event?

    12:30pm est - I did half of the HULK-Nevada and Canada missions against low level villains and bad guys
    5:30pm est. - now, 5 hours later, I'm seeing with level 100+ bad guys??

    Missions that I saw earlier jumped up 100 levels?
  • I didn't play any missions for a while, and the levels of the enemies on every mission dropped. I was playing lighting round and Fearless Defenders, went back to Hulk, missions all got easier.

    They hotfixed the scaling into the event at some point it seems.
  • Is this the only game that punishes the players that want to play more and progress?

    It seems so, its sad but the devs seems to like punishing us for playing their game icon_rolleyes.gif

    @Mondo: Just checked again, and my current levels are even lower than what you reported.

    Solo Hulk: L107
    All other enemies are L40ish

    I'm glad I waited, if only for less health loss per mission. icon_e_biggrin.gif
    I wasn't going to do more than two refreshes, anyway.

    "Hotfixed the scaling?"

    I have no clue what that means. Usually when I hear hotfixed, it means that something was wrong.

    It would be nice to get some clarification from d3 instead of guessing. Why did the bad guys jump 100-200 levels in the 5 hours while I was away? Is this "working as intended"????
  • I don't understand why some people are getting enemy levels reduced and some aren't. I've restarted and waited and sacrificed a chicken while swimming in goat's blood and all my enemies are still 200+
  • I also love when the game kicks you out and when you log back in your entire team is injured.

    You have only been playing a little over a week? Well my friend, you will win the whole event, the way this system "works"

    Haha... I understand what you mean, given a lot of what I've read on here thus far. But I don't see any chance in hell of even getting caught up, at least not in today's dailies for Hulk. I can hardly even compete in most of the nodes for that long, and can't really even make a dent in Hulk. In Nevada, he's got over 12,200 health, and at best, I've knocked him down to around 6-7k health, then he basically rips off the limbs of my team, eats their hearts, then stomps them into the ground all while laughing.

    I'm wondering if I wound up in some middle ground. I mean, yes, I literally just downloaded the game about a week and a half ago, but have played pretty hard, then wound up in the ISO-8 event, and really pushed in that to get some rewards. I managed to be in 1st or 2nd in just about all of the daily events in that, and was first in my bracket of 1,000 players at the end. Got some decent rewards out of it, but that was like matching constantly day in/day out each day it seemed.
  • I just can't wait for the day when all my heroes are leveled up to 141 so then I can complain to all the complainers that the scaling works fine icon_e_smile.gif

    I'm trying to get a more concise statement with where we are on scaling in general, but I don't have anything overall at this very second.

    Rant notwithstanding, reply notwithstanding, please don't blatantly avoid the profanity filter like that.
    Hopefully you'll be able to update us on scaling soon. As for the filter, time to add in more words/typos

    Let me get my pitchfork and torch.

    This is seriously ridiculous. I cannot even UNLOCK the next two sections. Both matches are rated as D E A D L Y to me. And they keep going UP! My team is dropping like flies to these guys. Seriously, two flame thrower NPCs that are level 70+? They get AP so fast that without a perfect board I can't even get through them. My highest character is level 50! and I have no healers, one stunner... Your game is TINYKITTY TINYKITTY BORK BORK BROKEN!!!

    Edit:

    So I just saw to try closing and restarting and now the teams have scaled.... after having tried that before and only seeing higher, then trying to win those fights. I'd love to participate, BUT EVERYONE IS DEAD.

    Thanks so very much. I guess I sit this event out.

    My only complaint is the endless stream of 20 ISO rewards. I'll get my first reward and then it's 3 or 4 more battles per node before I get something other than 20 ISO. While minor, it is just incredibly frustrating when there are three more rewards to get.

    Won't happen. You'll be throwing your 141s at 230s and losing because it is the boosted characters for an event that matter, not 141s. It will be amusing because you will still be complaining that the game is too hard.
