I'm very new to this rubberbanding and refresh stuff. Does the refresh time depends on when I have joined the tournament or is it the same time for everyone?
For example: when I join 16 hours before ending,will it refresh 4 hours before it ends?
And when I join 15 hours before,will it refresh 3 hours before it ends?

And the modifier and the points seem also very complicated.
Should we start with the high value or the low value missions?

Refreshes based off when you complete the mission the last time. IE- you complete mission 1 with 15 hours it is ready at 3hours. You beat missions 2 for the last time at 14 hours so it's rdy at 2 hours. I mean you beat it one single time, not clear it.
If you beat mission 1 at 14 hours then against at 13 it's rdy at 1 hour.

Do highest points 1st typically.

I am dumb, I still do not understand this. I have joined the event about an hour ago, and did the first three missions once each (the first one is complete so won't refresh obv). If I don't attempt them again, when is the refresh likely to kick in?

If it's got the green arrows for rewards complete points will still refresh.


@tatli yes, you got it. It would be rdy again at 2 hours. On some events they might run an 8 hour instead of a 12 but typically this is how things work.

Yeah but the first mission only lets you do it once and is then marked complete, so I realise that won't refresh.

I'm just a bit baffled by people saying "15 hours in, ready in 2 hours" If I joined the event at 11am today, played a mission a bunch of times for 30 minutes and left it, at what time does it refresh?

If you finish the first mission at 11 am and don't do it again, the stack refreshes at 11 pm.

In PvP, yeah, I got used to firing off two identical tourneys back to back, but two identical PvE rounds? I can't recall that happening before.

Usually because PvE are 7-9 days long so they have time to cycle sub-missions through many different timezones.

So it's a 12 hour wait, each time, from the last time you played the mission? Really sorry, new to this!

Herman - their wording was a bit confusing. What they meant to convey was that the mission will refresh 12 hours after you complete it.

Couple of other points:

This event has a 12 hour refresh timer, but many other events have had 8 hours.

If you complete a mission multiple times without waiting for the refresh, you will need to wait until 12 hours after your final clear for maximum refresh, not after your first clear.

The later you can possibly hold off on doing your final refresh of the event, the higher your points and rank will be, due to rubberbanding. Try to have that last refresh up a few hours before the event ends if you can.

Thank you so much psyko. Last question:
And will I get the same points like at the beginning or will it just start refresh slowly?
So what does refresh mean exactly?

Yup. Then if you spent the next 45 minutes grinding it like crazy it would refresh at 11:45pm.

I'm not 100% on the last question. From experience it seems to refresh quite quickly, but not instantly. Like >10 minutes to go from 1 point to full. Depending on someone from some leading bracket points will keep going up over time. In recent events they may have changed it to where refreshes are instant. Haven't paid all too much attention to that.

Ok cool thanks guys. Makes sense now and will try to make my last refresh an hour or two before it closes.

I appreciate the help.

So I tried to complete one more mission to ensure a top 100 placing last night, but was unable to finish. I received the standard "first time completion bonus" message, which was not surprising. However, upon checking MPQ this morning, I received a message that I had reached 100 points and got a standard recruit token. Apparently, completing that mission past the timer automatically made me part of round 2, as I checked and I was ranked 749 despite not playing round 2 at all. Did anyone else have this happen? The only good news is that I managed to get Lazy thor.

Yup same here. I don't like it, can't choose when to join a bracket

Unknown

Was sitting at #3 last night behind by 14 points... and was 2 minutes late finishing

Damn lieutenant.

Anyone got response from support on this one? I'll only know my status as I get home later, but likely will be hit by the same. My last match just dropped me out on main screen with a news report.

Getting bracketed with 999 last-minute fighters from around the world would not be my idea of fun really.

Unknown

Anyone know when this horrible event will be over? I have not leveled any of the covers that work for this one and as events are my main source of ISO there's no chance of even getting any from this event. Seriously, I have 19 different characters on my roster and I can only use the 3 lowest level ones? Horrible.

Unknown

Haven't read everything backwards so maybe this has already been discussed. I've passed all available missions but last 3 (where the hood should be) are still not there, just small yellow spots. Also 2-nd and 3-rd mission (juggernaut next to the opening and juggernaut with some hammers next to the opening) disappeared as well. Is this a common problem or just mine ?

The Heroic modes have never been ISO farms like the frequent chapter events. You can grab plenty of ISO for five minutes every two hours today when LRs open. Just be there when they start and you should get five or six fights with seed teams every time.

Another round of this **** with the same **** selection of characters.

Guess I'll just have to wait a few weeks until Lazy Thor gets rotated into PVP rewards.

Eff roster restrictions.

Others have had great success just joining with 15 hours left in the event. Show IM40 a little love during LRs and you should be able to mop up most mobs with him and Wolverine and and some random meat bag. You can get two chubby covers out of this without too much hassle.

My wolverine is at L6. I'm not dumping iso into characters I'll never use outside of these roster restricted events. I'd rather just buy the Thor covers, which I will probably end up doing if my patience wears out before he gets awarded in PVP or PVE.

Casualty of selling my way into a top heavy roster. Almost all of my two stars and one stars were sold and rebuilt. covers are maxed but stil sitting at minimum levels.

Made my bed, now I got to sleep in it.

Unknown

Yup. After a bit of sulking after those lost Lazy Thor covers from first round I entered second round and happily now I see that this time it ends precisely at midnight of my time zone. Gonna play some Iron Maiden at that particular time (you can guess which song plays just before closing time...)

And I dumped all my reserve ISO (~14K) to 2* Wolvie and levelled him to 50. Maybe short-sighted, but other PvEs will come around where I can hoard more ISO. Right now I need some hitter for this heroic tourney since Lazy Thor's just too lazy without enough levels or covers. I sold my previous 5/3/5 2* Wolvie after The Nerf and have been slowly building him back to 5/5/3. I hate when I'm forced to diversify, but maybe this otherwise dull event managed to do just that: it was the incentive for me to finally level my roster's 2* leftovers (Cap, M.Hawk and A.Wolvie) to lvl40-50's. Now they all can fight in this event well enough with my lvl85 IM40 and boosted Lazy Thor. And maybe they'll come handy in future (if boosted).

Unknown

Sadly I hate all of those characters(MHawkeye, Awolv & Cap). And I'm not going to dump iso into characters I hate.
