    The Essential Character selection is a little odd, as is the Sunday -Sunday run.
    Also mixed heroes and villains in the placement rewards, so next event should be Gauntlet or Deadpool vs MPQ...

    I see they added 10,000 onto the max progression total.

    Just playing with numbers using the scoring from the last run. Essentials will be different for sure, but should add up the same.

    They upped the progression by 10k to 100k.

    4 clears of everything (I don't recall any wave nodes) nets you 122,372 points.

    3 clears of everything nets 92,354 points or 7646 below progression, not too bad.

    Some random trivia: Deadpool vs MPQ has run three times in 2016: Feb 11, Apr 21 and Jun 30, 10 weeks between each run. Sep 11 would be right on that schedule.

    If they wanted to be nice, they could run DPvMPQ and the Gauntlet side-by-side. We haven't seen the Gauntlet in a few months now.

    Hopefully the won't run the Gauntlet again until they realise that one 4* cover for all that healthpack-eating play is basically bollocks.

    With the stealth raise to scaling, every PVE is Gauntlet now.
  • Oof, I missed the first day's event. Think I can still make the 25cp?

    Yes, it is possible. With 4 full clears in 6 days plus at least 1500 points for the main event nodes, you should get more than 98k points. You need just a little bit more than that to make it to 100k (say, a 5th full clear somewhere).

    So I missed out on 4 full clears in Day 2. Currently have 31,723 points after four clears of Day 3. Can I still reach 100,000?

    4 full clears on days 4, 5, 6 and 7 should result in around 71k points (plus the 31k you already have), so yes you can.

    Bleh, this event just got so much worse with Rulk no longer being boosted.

    DT: How do you know the points for future days? I'm on day 6 and trying to determine how many will be available on day 7.

    I have a copy of a Google spreadsheet with the point amounts for every PvE. I update mine regularly, as these points have changed a few times recently.

    My copy isn't shared - could somebody else post a link to a shared version?

    FYI, the points available in the last day should look like this:

    Easy nodes:
    200
    320
    440
    Hard nodes:
    500
    620
    740
    Essentials (estimated, not entirely based on observed data)
    630
    680
    730
    One-time node:
    860

    4 clears should yield (860 + 4 x 4860) = 20300.

    Barely hitting progression on 4x on every node feels like a LOT of work for 25 cp. Just sayin'.

    added for emphasis. i already miss the good old days where three clears got you progression half way through the event. icon_redface.gificon_redface.gif

    To make matters worse, the good old days were only a couple of weeks ago too. icon_rolleyes.gif

    I didn't even bother this time. Reward should be higher in 7-day events.
