Looks like PVE nodes refresh at 4am for me, unless they change the refresh times I won't get top 2, should still get top 20, if I play smart.

I loved both simulators, sub event end times for both of them were convenient for me and I was able to get top 2.

Is 4am the refresh time or the new nodes time for you?

If it's the refresh time then you still have a shot at top 2 depending on your bracket.

Just play every 24 hours right before node change, and you should be top 10, possibly top 2.

You might have to do the final day 4am refresh to secure your top 2 though, but it is possible without it.

Sorry I wasn't clear with the jargon, 4am is the new node time, which is really annoying, I usually go to bed at 2am anyway, but I can't stay up until 4, and setting an alarm and waking up to grind won't go down well with my wife.

The event does finish at 4pm for me, so I'll be able to grind away and rubberband to the top hopefully, I think top 20 is realistic, maybe top 2 if I'm very lucky.

Just pick any time convenient for you like say 4PM, do that every 24 hours, and you still should be fine.

Main event score carries over new nodes, so when you do it isn't that important until the last day.

Like I could do zero nodes this round, then grind at the start when the new nodes appear, and the scaling is fresh and low. It would be pretty much the same cause of rubber banding, but easier, since my nodes are lower level

Only the last two set of nodes matter and should be played at the end, everything before that is to keep you in striking distant of the spot you want.

If you are aiming at top 2, you will need to play at the very end of the whole event. But that time is much better for you, so you should be fine.

The 2nd last set of nodes does end at 4am for you. So that will be tough for you.

But one 2 AM alarm is a lot better than five 2 AM alarms, just give the wife some earplugs that night or divorce her, which ever is easier for you. I'm guessing earplugs is slightly easier.

You made me laugh, we've got kids so divorce is definitely out of the question, I'd be ruined financially, but I go to bed at 2am usually anyway, so that gives me 14 hours until the end of the event, works out perfectly.
Thanks for the advice, as I said earlier, I messed up this event last time they ran it, and even now I wasn't 100% sure on how to proceed, I've got the strategy for events with sub brackets down, so this information is really valuable, you make a great alliance leader.

Thanks for the black Hulk guys, so here are some treats

Great job as always n1ght.

Yeah that Hulk event went well, everyone got their black cover, and the alliance went from like rank 80+ to rank 23 in the last couple hours. Was hilarious.

@illmatic Glad I could help

The ending time was pretty **** for me, short before coming home from work. So I didn't knew how we're standing. For me personally it was also hilarious. Came home expecting to be beaten down to top 50 or something, but I actually gained 73 points from defense wins...

I'm gonna start the Wolverine tournament est in the morning. Sad thing is I thought I was gonna win a cap in the PVE but the points are to low even with me rubber banding

What team were you running on defense, that you were able to get some big wins? I shielded with 3 hours to go and ended up in the top 5, but had no defensive wins, just dozens of beatdowns.

I'm guessing points per node are going to like increase by 2x-4x over last 3 days of the event. And/or there will be more nodes per set, like 12+

If nothing does change for the whole event. No one is going to get the 93k Cap let alone the 160k Cap.

Does anybody know if i can use the same username and facebook link with two different devices?

I play on my android tablet at home, but want to be able to play on my phone too, when i have break at work.

but mainly because i have to pick up my girlfriend at the airport today and would like to play "the best there is" tournament while she drives home.

Kiamodo

I don't think you can:(

Hi guys, how's everyone doing? I'm really glad this pve event has no subs so we can just take advantage of the rubberband. I was down with bad fever and headache for the past 2 days so I couldn't play at all so if there were subs, I definitely would have been left behind by a large margin. I'm feeling better now and currently I have grind a bit, bringing my score to 21k. Hopefully, I will be able to recover soon and I'm looking forward to the best there is for some lazy cap covers. Lazy cap not being able to hit countdown tiles unless the ability is at lv 5 is kinda annoying which makes him not that good against goons.

I opened the 2 event tokens and guess what? Useless 2* as usual lol. Did anyone have better pull from those tokens?

Good to have you back, Chuckova gave me some good advice for this event, I think you'll be able to place high due to rubberbanding. I'm using Patch, OBW, Hood/Cap, this team makes the goon fights very easy. I had no luck with event tokens either.

Hope you feel better soon lawlypop.

Yeah rubber banding is crazy and will get even more crazy at the end of the event.

You probably could have skipped the first 4 days and just rubber band the last 2 days and still get your 3 Human torch covers.

Got complete garbage for my tokens.

@Chuckova, illmatic
Thanks for the concern guys, appreciate it.

It seems like the points are increasing at a very slow rate? I can't really tell how that red lazy cap progression reward can be achieved going at this pace, especially since the event is already halfway through?

@illmatic
I'm actually using patch/im40/spidey for those goons fight lol. 8 yellow recharge provides 9 red and 9 blue for patch's best there is and spidey's stun. Since there's stun locking in place, there's no need for spidey to heal. Sometimes I switch out spidey for OBW which does just fine as well.

Kiamodo

Law,

Glad you are feeling better! I tried both stratagies during this event (rubberband and grinding). Sitting at #12 right now. I think just rubberbanding is the best for now. I have no way I'm gonna get the best ranks. Just not giving out a lot of points.

Yeah seems really strange, either nobody will reach the progression rewards or the point gain will inflate like crazy, in which case any progress you made in the first half of the tourney is trivialized.

That's a very good point you just made there. If nobody can reach the progression rewards then there's probably gonna be lots of rage on the forums and with the latter scenario....well at least there will be less rage going on I guess haha. Oh, and thanks for the awesome sig, nice job as always.

@Kiamodo
Thanks and very nice of you. I guess a fortunate thing is that you only need top 50 to secure the 3 covers so it doesn't seem as bad.

It seems different nodes have different timing of disappearing? Does anyone know how to differentiate when which nodes will disappear?

Awesome job in PvP everyone, enjoy your Lazy Caps.

Craziest PVP in a long time, I shielded out with 2 hours left and stopped checking the leaderboards, what was our final alliance rank?
