    so don't forget that caramel ****'s red cds destroy your cds when they hit 0 (specifically in 'Big Mac', the second to last node). for those dependent on im40 that could ruin an otherwise smooth-running match. cost me some damage on my lunch clear. will have to remember that tonight when healthpacks will be more important.

    Yeah now she gets priority kill status even before venom.

    Blah, blah, blah, time to take a break from PvE.
    7K ISO and 2CP per sub, plus 25 CP for the event means that there is never a break from PVE.

    Weighing up the rewards (90%, sorry, now 85% chance of yet another Baglady green) against time, effort and frustration, I respectfully disagree.

    My approach for this event has been to grind the first couple of day fully so that I can go far more easy on the annoying nodes of the days with Carnage and Venom with feeders.

    "Back in Red & Black" is really crazy. Low-cost high dmage Carnage and Venom skills fed substantially every turn? It's fired overy other turn or even without matches. And it's called "normal" difficulty? C'mon, cancel this nonsense feed.

    I don't mean difficult, although they can be that. I mean actually irritating to watch.

    I make my move and then sit back and watch "Bark and bite" "Appetite for destruction" *FLASH* *FLASH* "Bark and bite" *countdown timer placed*......Doc Oc makes a move...wait 2 seconds...hit by attack tiles...and it's my move again.

    So I make a move and "Bark and bite" *FLASH* *FLASH* etc etc etc.

    It's like the bad old days when Magneto used to fire off his 2AP costing red move EVERY TURN. It's actually getting REALLY irritating to play. Like someone prodding the back of my neck constantly when I'm playing.

    I'm still going to play the last day of nodes, but overall I agree. As soon as I hit that last progress reward, I didn't touch that Venom/Carnage/Goon final again. No need to kill myself.

    Yes, it is quite irritating. Also irritating when the nodes that use the forced team get wiped out on a "Trivial" node because of all of the strike and attack tiles that keep piling up.

    Also irritating that they haven't fixed the long delay between (and on AI) turns.

    I made a thread about how irritating it was waiting so long for Symbiote Goon powers to resolve and it got swept under the rug and moved to a dead board. Seriously it is maddening to the point I was yelling at them to move their **** and get on with it. Brutal how slow this event has been. This is the first time I've been able to just flat own it though as I have a championed Goddess. Venom goons might be tough but a hundred thousand volts in the **** shows em who's boss. Three Iron Fist covers makes it worth it but that's about the only placement prize I can think of off the top of my head that does.

    I decided on day 2 to just clear once, mine out the CP and, if I have time and feel like it, take the trivial nodes to 7/7. No timers, no placement, thanks for the 3* progression prize. See you in EotS.

    I'm similar to slide. I don't have ms everdeen (got that from a friend lol) so t50s have been rough. managed it in sub1, not sub2. highly unlikely in sub 3 or 4. vault has given LT, 2 grockets (will be champed around the weekend), and kk (along with several 2s)

    I'm 10K away with whatever grind I decide to throw at it tonight and then the last sub tomorrow. if I go hard tonight, I may make it or get close (none of its horrible except that last node). if so I may only play enough tomorrow to stay t100. farm some maybe. that's it.

    The developers monitor the bugs forum, sometimes even responding with a fix will be released. That forum may not be as active as General, but the right people see it.

    Worst event ever...

    And I wish they would fix the scaling more than anything. My wife, who has been playing for 2 months was doing fantasticuntil she was lucky enough to pull a couple 5*covers. Bam!! She was like, this game got too hard all of a sudden. She hasn't been enjoying it nearly as much since. Her playtime has gone way way down and I find myself trying to beat stuff for her these days.

    **** scaling.

    Seriously something needs to be done.

    Once again, a giant **** you to the devs for including feeders. Fix your **** missions to get rid of this ****.

    Had to go 7/7 on both cp nodes today. 375 OML + Champ 4thor + IM40 needed more than 10 health packs. No wonder everyone calls this the worst event. It's a meat grinder. At least all that extra pain gets you a special prize. Oh, wait...

    As much as I need the IF covers since he's so elusive for me, the burnout from the character releases and Civil War is real. I can't bring myself to do it any more in this one even with boosted 4Thor. Feels like scaling is a little steeper than the last time this one ran, but I may be mis-remembering. I know I still had her max covered and she was boosted, but this is too much. I don't even hate the event.

    But on the realsies tho...this event is bad and they should feel bad. I have a very difficult time believing that anyone at D3/Demi tested some of these battles at high scaling and said: "Yes. Perfect. Ship it off."

    So "Hawkatniss" then? It lacks the brevity which is a requirement of a good nickname, but it'll do.

    Am I the only one who things Kamala, Kate Bishop and Storm have no synergy together and are terrible?
