    7 days for CP, some HP and maybe some icon_colossus_new.png covers. I'm this close to skipping this one icon_e_confused.gif

    EDIT:
    Change of plans - just collecting data so hopefully next time I can come up with something more helpful

    Events like this are definitely my casual ISO farming times. Join late, easy bracket, ignore placement but get event tokens, get ISO, and maybe CP if it happens. Plus, the 61K token_legendary.png is nice and low compared to past runs. Liking this new progression level

    I was hoping I'd be able to grind a top 10 placement next time icon_punisher.png was the prize... But I don't think I can bring myself to grind for a full week. Oh well, guess I have to rely on RNGesus.

    EDITS:
    I wil do something different this time since points are easier to predict with the new system until the fourth clear.

    Points available
    Sub 1
    1 clear: 1350 (no essentials) + 338 (2*) + 370 (3*) + 402 (4*). Full clear = 2460
    2 clears: 2700 (no essentials) + 676 (2*) + 740 (3*) + 804 (4*). Full clears = 4920
    3 clears: 4050 (no essentials) + 1014 (2*) + 1110 (3*) + 1206 (4*). Full clears = 7380
    4 clears: 5400 (no essentials) + 1352 (2*) + 1480 (3*) + 1608 (4*). Full clears = 9840

    Sub 1
    1 clear: 1539 (no essentials) + 385 (2*) + 422 (3*) + 458 (4*). Full clear = 2804
    2 clears: 3078 (no essentials) + 770 (2*) + 844 (3*) + 916 (4*). Full clears = 5608
    3 clears: 4617 (no essentials) + 1155 (2*) + 1266 (3*) + 1374 (4*). Full clears = 8412
    4 clears: 6156 (no essentials) + 1540 (2*) + 1688 (3*) + 1832 (4*). Full clears = 11216

    Why are there two sub 1s?

    Time as we know it functions differently in 7-day PVE. It's like quantum physics--it's easier if you don't think about it.

    Thank you. I wondered about this and thought that there was no way a 2nd sub could have started yet. Forgot I was in slice 4 this go around.

    I came across a PVE spreadsheet with values for each event. It is all from the old system and I was playing with The Hulk values to get it up to date. It appears the total value for each sub has only differences for the essentials and still add up to the same number for one full clear.

    Should these values hold up for all the subs, it would mean that full progression (61k) would be possible by only doing 4 full clears on the first 5 subs. Or just doing 3 clears on the first 6 subs! Interesting to note, we will see if this happens, but it would allow those seeking placement rewards ample time to up their score over those of us just seeking progression.

    Fair warning - very much a work in progress. Here is a link to a copy.

    I've only messed with the tab "The Hulk New" - All other work is that of Matt McComb, I can't find the original link unfortunately. He may be updating the original with current values.

    The yellow cells are for putting in your clears for each node and it tries to tally your points. It works up to 4 clears as it does not take points off for clears 5 and 6.

    Help me out here, please. How can I take this data, look at my current score, and know if I am on pace for the 61K progression award?

    Thanks

    Click the link I posted above and go to "the hulk new" tab. You can see how many point for each sub. Progression on this one looks like it will be pretty easy so long the points in further subs are not reduced.

    Thank you, deadtaco. After a few minutes of studying the spreadsheet icon_idea.gif , I think I will be fine if I average 3 clears / node from here on out. Assuming points don't tail off in future subs, of course.

    I wouldn't worry about points tailing off. They generally increase each sub (around 10-15% I think), so you should be fine.

    Here's another one if it helps. Not sure who the author is but it is pretty well maintained and seems accurate in terms of totals with the only change being the essentials which are now weighted heavier on the 4* and lighter on the 3*:

    In my supposedly non-competitive bracket, one has to do more than 6 clears with 2 essentials to get top 50 rewards. RIP placement rewards icon_cry.gif

    So... the weirdest bug just happened. I submitted a ticket but also thought I'd share it with you.

    I played the Amazon sub on a device yesterday. Then today I opened MPQ on another device and was surprised to see the sub gone. I even asked myself for a second if I was in the wrong slice.

    Ok, so I go to the main event and play the node that opens the sub. It re-opens, apparently in its initial state: only 4 nodes available (3 essentials + the easiest node). I check my score, more than 14000 points. I'm relieved to see the points I scored yesterday are still there. But somehow, the node rewards had been reset.

    WC5iNfd.png?1

    As you can see, the available rewards for the easiest node went back to 0/6, but the timer is still there and the points didn't go back to full. Weird stuff.

    EDIT: additional information: the scaling wasn't reset either - I believe the initial levels were around 15.

    Can someone double check my values for each node in Amazon? Something seems off in my spread sheet and I already did the bottom two nodes, I suspect they are the off ones.

    Hulk Sighting: The Amazon I 143
    Hulk Sighting: The Amazon II 229
    Hulk Sighting: The Amazon III 272
