Heroic jugg discussion

Unknown

Not really sure what is going on. Just played when I could for round 1 and ended up top 150 and got all the progression reward. Have done this "refresh" tactic for round two and can't get into top 300 , the enemies are way harder, and I am not going to get the last progression reward.

Clearly missing something.

Hey guys what's the point of the late start times? New to this and would like to know if it would help in where I would end up being ranked. Cheers

Look this tip in viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3939:

Opening any tournament at the very beginning will match you up against seed teams, which your team should be able to easily beat for points. I wouldn't recommend actually joining the tournament and playing your first match until later though, since your bracket will be much tougher as the only people who join right away are hardcore people.

Indeed, I barely played and got to HP point with minimum effort. A plenty nodes provide 1000+ points repeatable for 750 and the starter easy ones were over 300 too. With 12h reset you should have at least 3 straight shots to grab 6k points that is over the last progression.

I noticed the event quite abandoned, the 13k was good for #56. In R1 we were way beyond 20k at similar time down to at least #200. I'm done with the event at this point not bother to even go for the Wolverine token (being unable to play last hour that is vital for position). Got bored out in the first, so not interested despite all the levels lowered bigtime compared to R1.

As other said earlier I'd have expected some less lazy approach, have some changes, not just repeat it back to back.

Those daken nodes are ridiculous

I've got one node that is 1000+ points right now and it has characters 15 levels above mine across the board. Didn't have that last time at all. All the other nodes are for 300-400 points and are above my char levels. Even Juggs this time around has gone from 20-30 to 40-50 on the basic first repeatable node. Waiting for the last refresh to kick in a couple of hours before it closes tonight, but I'll be lucky to add 2k to my points total of 9k.

I wouldn't mind it, accept I played without having a clue first time round, and did way better

Try them with MBW and someone tanking blue.

I have been! Just 170 level Daken and Lieutenant are kicking my ****. Can never do enough damage or get rid of the countdowns quick enough.
Maybe I should respec my cap to 3/5/5 instead of 5/4/4.

Indeed the solo jugs went up from 30 to 45-ish, looks like only those nodes are actually played. But with MBW stun you should be able to handle it, especially if you have LazyThor. Just because enemies have more levels than your team does not mean you can't take them, match with proper team, possibly use boosts -- the damage palette is more than cool and you get it back in node prize.

I don't have Thor

Well I do, but not the one that they want me to use. Guess that's my issue here. Just odd that the first round I sailed through most of it.

At 170 it's nasty indeed. I ignored it when it was over 160 completely, then it got down to just above 140 and fell nicely, first with boosts then even without. Though my roster is way underleveled in the available subset. Ie. my captain is the proper 3/5/5 but only 22 levels and will not get more, especially as we expect LazyCaptain entering in few weeks. But IM40 was more than worth bumping to 70 for this event (minding hero LRs).

A lot more people won 3* Thors in the first round, so more people are beating the nodes in this round, which is pushing their levels up for you unfortunately. Keep at it - happy hunting!

Ah ok, makes more sense now. That was the bit I was missing!

Thanks

Unknown

I got my first 3* Thor cover in the last round so Round 2 is the first time I've been able to use him on this PvE. Those extra missions are a nice point source but the real star for me has been Psylocke. I have her at 4/1/4 lv70 and she has really been rocking it. I have no idea why I didn't use her in Round 1.

I pity people who bought the 10-pack. 4 Unstoppable tokens = 3 Cap 1 Hawkeye

Similar for me on 3, I didn't bother to grab the 4th, dropped out after the 50HP.

I got one green lazy thor from round 1 which was a struggle. But with that 100lvl buff, this round has been easy mode....It also helped that I lvled my wolverine some for my 2* team, but only 15 lvls or so. I'm so glad I decided to open a roster slot for that thor.

Unknown

I like how the top path of the map is the "easy" route that even new players should be able to handle and the lower path is the hard route.

The last two hard nodes are a real struggle. Daken's strike tiles mess me up every time.

I want to say for the record this event is stupid. Not only does it follow the alarming "lets do everything with the minimum amount of effort" tendency that's been so fashionable as of late, it also has a ridiculous roster restriction. If we are going to be forced to play these silly events for want of better content, then at least let us play with the characters with want. Don't force me to use Capn Bozo and Modern Hawkeye (and why is he modern, because he dyed his hair and wears glasses in-doors? sounds ****!)

Before some brainiac points out that I don't have to play this event, let me state I realize that. But I don't think anyone here is saying,"Man, finally an event where my maxed Captain America really shines!" As far as economic arguments for using certain characters? I don't care. If I have a monster Hulk, let me rampage over stupid hammer goons. What's the risk? I might have too much fun and make some iso to level my characters further? We wouldn't want that!

And on a final rant, please stop making the new character mandatory. This is a **** design choice and if you (D3) are so focused on making money, then go ahead an open a character shop where you can buy any cover for a set price.

An event like this rewards those who diversify their roster. I like this.
