PVE: Deadpool vs MPQ (2016-09-15 to 2016-09-20)

rainkingucd

The launch of S.H.I.E.L.D. clearance levels. Exciting!

New feature, and no telling what boosted, progression, placement, or even sub event placement might be like for each clearance level, I'm thinking it's best to crowd source this first run (plus, you know, I'm on holidays ).

Share your clearance level, your boosted character list, essentials required, progression / placement rewards, and sub event placement rewards , and I'll consolidate it all up here.

Totally doing clearance level 7 here. Don't really care about placement but guaranteeing a 4star for progression is amazing.

Linkster to the last one: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=46863

Looks like full progression is 36,000, which is 1000 lower than last time.

Essentials: 4* Venom, 3* Punisher, 2* Moonstone.

After the clamour when Venom (yellow) was the final reward for Gauntlet, I opened up this event to see what they came up with for the guaranteed 4* in progression.

Venom (green).

I kid you not.

Stupid question, but will time slices be available after we select our clearance level?

Yes. I picked slice 5, so I have another 30 hours or so until it starts.

Is this a new PvE format or has it been done before? It looks like they're spreading the wealth with the CP instead of giving 25 as the final award. Unfortunately, I'm only at rank 25, so I can only do level 5.

I swore I clicked clearance level 7 as I am eligible (rank 45) but when I look at the rewards it shows level 3. Did I screw up or did MPQ?

So bad you don't know boosted characters before you chose the level. I don't have anyone, so I shoud've chosen lower level

Definitely going CL7 here. I could give a rip about placement. If I place well, so be it. 25 CP + 4* cover from progression? That's my jam.

People have been asking for fourstar progression covers in PvE for a long time. Hearts of Darkness should have a Hulkbuster cover, is that better?

Personally, yes, as my IMHB is championed. My Venom is 5/3/5 and level 150, no way he's being championed in the near future, I have too many other (better) 4* closer to 270.

I appreciate and am thankful that we're now getting 4* from progression, it's only who the first one is after the opprobrium when he was the reward for Gauntlet. I was really hoping for a sop to the players and a Peggy red or blue.

I have both Venom and Hulkbuster championed, so I am equally happy for both covers. This is really more an issue of the Gauntlet using the final progression reward to set the essential for next event instead of the usual top placement reward...
(Venom really packs a punch when he's boosted by the way, but he shouldn't be a priority to champ...)

I will test CL6 on this one. At lvl 33 I'm able to pick CL7, but since there is no CL7+ at the moment, I want to see if CL6 is going to be a bit better than the usual bloodbath.

Anybody started this PVE yet? I would like to know what Lv the nodes are before I decide which CL I'll take?

As I understand it, clearance level only affects what rewards you get, it has no effect on scaling (or matchmaking in PvP).

You can check boosted characters as always, nothing change here.


I don't need green Venom, so maybe I will try cl6 because 3* and Elite tokens will be more useful for me.

Edit:
I have compared progression rewards for cl6 and cl7 and here are the differences:
CL6: Standard Token, Elite Token (minimum iso for selling those: 350)
CL7: 850iso, green 4*Venom (total iso for selling: 1850)

So if you don't need Venom cover and would sell it, you can choose max 1500 more iso on CL7, or chance for some useful 2*/3* on CL6.

I don't take placement into account because this lottery.

I know the rewards look ugly, but I did not figure out a way to present them better. Maybe you have a better idea

It's really awkward though, how they did not bother to include different covers of the essential characters in the progression reward list. So some players will get too many red Moonstones, or too many black Punishers, etc. They could've diversified the colors instead.

Here's my table for this event, assuming Max Progression, this is what you get at the different levels.



Guaranteed Covers awarded are:





Table for individual Placement:

Interesting to note that in lower placement in 5 & 6 there is some parity to the rewards. Also I think to match ISO rewards by going down from CL7 to CL6 you need to place 50-100 spots higher, though HP rewards are pretty consistent.



Alliance Placement rewards:

jokingjokerino

Does anyone know if there´s ANY way to change the level or am I just screwed?

I accidentally selected Level 1 (yeah, I´m an idiot, I didn´t look properly) and now I´m stuck with these low-level rewards.

spatenfloot

Nope, you only get one chance to pick it.

jackstar0

Can anyone confirm the 2* reward for the lower levels, so we know who will be required for the next event?
