I dont understand.
What do you mean you joined Hulk yesterday?
You joined a 7 day event on day 5 ?
When you speak of progression are you talking about 25cp?
many people join several days into an event to find a non-competitive bracket and to snipe placement awards. progression does typically refer to getting the 25 cp and with the new system progression is easily achievable in less than half the running time for the event.
Ok, For the Hulk event to get 25Cp you have to reach 61,000 points.
If I start on day 5 of a 7 day event.
How many points are you collecting per win?0 -

In this case, beating all nodes once (including essentials) in the Hulk event will give you about:
Day 5 (Greenland): 3862
Day 6 (West Sahara): 4576
Day 7 (Nevada): 5300
If you take each of those values and multiply them by 5, you get a total of 68690, which is more than enough.0 -
Dtstump explained it perfectly, although i joined s4, so it was day 4 of a 7 day event, giving me roughly 15k points for 4 clears of each sub.
I've finished t50 in each of the 2 subs I've played, although i expect to struggle to keep t100 overall, when the grinders get going.
And to clarify, since some will apparently misinterpret everything. To me, play when i want, means to compete for the same rewards as someone investing the same playtime as me, regardless of investing that time all at once or over a predefined period. Again, talking solely about progression.0 -
Well well well, I had no idea ...
Thanks for the info DTstump, Thanos8587 and Kjeldbjerg.
I will give it ago one day.

while many people do this, remember they are sacrificing the iso and cp as well as the event tokens for the first 3 to 4 subs. there is a give and take. you may also not make a fan of your alliance mates who play from day one.0 -
It is certainly a sure fire way of getting yourself removed from your alliance. Only something you could recommend to someone in a very casual alliance.0

And plenty of top alliances have a min. requirement of max progression, so don't really see how that would get you removed0

So glad to see that the changes to mission difficulty lasted about a whole 2 weeks.starting with webbed wonder and now venom bomb I'm back to facing level 457 enemies for the final hard node.for a couple of weeks that node maxed out at 441.the other 2 hard nodes are up as well.even the 2 star essential,which was probably too easy at level 77,is now creeping over 100.and I haven't gained any levels on my 3 champed five's so it has nothing to do with scaling.it doesn't seem like much,but those extra enemy levels does make things that much more unpleasant.nice to see they raised the difficulty without any mention whatsoever.0

Tried posting yesterday that yep, scaling has been jacked up, combined with jacked up progression. Lovely0

Either tell us that levels are intentionally higher again or roll out a fix, please.0 -

Nice, but he didnt talked about 5 clears, he was loving the new format for 4 clears entering late, with 4 clears progression is not possible. And you cannot multiply them by 5, because points are lowered.0 -

Nice, but I was clearly responding to Jabrony Geoff, who asked:

How many points are you collecting per win?
My answer is an approximative estimation intended to help him know if he was able to get the 25CP.
Obviously not an argument for or against the new system. I don't even know why I'm answering you actually.0 -
I thought I was going crazy, glad to see scaling is broken for others too.0

Because your first quote of Kjeldbjerg it looked for me, you wanted to confirm his statement, but you refuted it with your post. I failed. Sorry.0 -
The devs did answer some questions about the new Level system so I wonder if there will be any clarification on scaling?0

Scaling has definitely increased. The final node was well into the 300s when I cleared last night. When they fixed it a few events ago I'd hit maybe the high 200s on the final node, which was challenging but doable. It would rank as "normal" to me when it had hit its cap. Now it's ranking as "Hard".
It's not helped by the fact this week's boosted characters are awful for me. Not a single usable 4* in the bunch, a couple are too new and the others I'm just not lucky enough to own yet. I've been trying to get by on Red Hulk/Thoress/IM40. This is not fun, so far.
I'd have understood these levels if it was a few weeks ago when Red Hulk was boosted and I was stomping the nodes with my 17k damage AoE. Now the enemies are a high level and my highest boosted character this week is She Hulk. I miss the days when 3* Captain America was the darling of the PvE. Now his 5000 damage feels pathetic.0
