    One of the nice things about this event is I don't feel too guilty about leveling the featured character while my other main guys aren't quite at 141 yet.

    Got Psylocke up to level 100 this sub. Will probably do the same with Doctor Doom on the next one assuming I find that I'm regularly using him.

    Think about how often you used Psylocke's Black this last round. Two of those gives you Doom's demons. I just brought mine up to 100.

    Don't get me wrong, your play style will change completely with Doom instead of Psylocke but I think he'll be on every team I use for this round, as Psylocke was for the last.

    But so was the Hood so that skews my view of how easy it is to get 12 black (can't wait for Panther either!)

    Soylent Green is 2** Heroes!
  • How long are the subs? I still haven't started this event yet...
  • How long are the subs? I still haven't started this event yet...

    two and a half days

    edit: the second set just started 2 hours ago
  • I decided to build a DD since they are showering us with his covers lately. So my reward pulls were 4 junk and one red DD.
    All my HP winnings went to buying the slot, though. So, it was all kind of a wash.


    Seems like scores are way high (across the board) after 2 1/2 days.
  • Either the point values will increase each round, or the final progression reward will be VERY hard to get. I had 55k after round 1, so 300k is still very far away. Good thing it's only a 500 iso reward.
  • Does round two seem to be much more difficult than round one? Sheesh! berserker rage every couple rounds, black widow espionage-ing purple and blue for Cmags, and modern storm as an opponent on desert... It's going to be a long and frustrating next 2 1/2 days
  • So I got Lazy Thor Green and IW Yellow from reward tokens.

    Figured I would play something to get my heroic token from daily.
    X Force Green

    Decided to push my luck and spend 200 on the daily pre token sale.
    BP Blue

    Guess I won't be pulling anything good for the rest of the week.
  • Looking through the thread for the first simulator some score are 40 to 45k were reported for the first round of subs and some high level players finished between 190 and 250k at the end of it all. But there is not a whole lot of data to rely on.

    Try beginning with level 229 opponents -- in the easy mode. icon_evil.gif

    Node 10 in hard mode has a level 269 Wolverine, 258 Daredevil, and 228 Iron Man. Node 5 in both modes is level 228 Spidey, 228 Hitman and 230 X-Force.

    This sub also doesn't give us a single good buffed attacker who is capable of doing significant damage to the other side. Ares is probably your best bet, but he is capped at level 85. They should have given us one powered-up three-star with offensive powers like Black Panther or Patch for this round.

    Yea, this is pretty ridiculously out-of-hand. I hate when this game gets to this point where it becomes "don't let them make three matches or you're dead". Not really sure how that's enjoyable. Hopefully the post-Spidey nerf will balance this game out a bit since I'm sure these levels won't stay up this high without people being able to stunlock.
  • I got my **** handed to me on 2500 ISO mission. Also Grenadier feeding LThor green for call of the storm? Never again attempting that thanks.

    Y'all need to grind less. _way_ less.

    I'm at 56K overall (after round 1 - haven't started on 2) and am looking at 99 Wolvie / 91 Daredevil / 61 Iron Man in Hard Mode.

    Community scaling doesn't seem too bad, so you really need to avoid grinding too much yourselves to keep enemy levels in check.
  • I feel a looot of sadism in this round, Lazy Thor and Patch being fed green, Spidey being fed blue and yellow, powered up Daredevil and Wolvie together, oh and Magneto + OBW ! And all have max powers of course... all fun and joy really...

    Do you sell too few health packs D3 so you thought you'd spice things up a bit ?

    88/80/50 without touching this node (dont have Psylocke) and I did only few missions in hard mode cause after first reset I wasnt able to do anything cause Im pretty new here. I had 15 k points after first subevents so yeah, community scaling seems bad for me if someone with 3 x more points than me has only little higher levels.

    They have increased I have not started yet these subs yet but the easy sub already has sim one at 566 and sim 8 and 9 at 1915 more than last round. I guess that sim 1 started at 60 so nearly already at max limit with only 4 and a half hours in.

    If someone has not done it and I can find some time at work I will post the point totals again when I know them all.

    So far Patch being fed double green has been the only node to completely wipe me out. Brought in Spider-Man and took blue on 2nd match (I think, it might have been first) and let Hulk face-tank until Berserker Rage, then countered with stun and took out Patch in one turn.

    X-Force and Spider-Man wasn't that tough for me. I had OBW, Ares and Punisher.
    For Psylocke/mStorm/Moonstone in Desert, I subbed out Punisher and subbed in Daken then let the AI work against itself when it chased green.

    I'm not looking forward to Storm AND Daken in Desert, or Mag/OBW/BP, or DD + Wolvie, or high level IM15 + Jugg, or double green feeding Fat Thor....

    I don't think I'll be grinding this sub nearly as much.

    Yeah I did manage to win them all once in both modes (I always do all missions only once on the first refresh to test the waters) with OBW + Punishher + Third (Thor or Ares or Daken or Doom) and subbed OBW for Hood when I couldn't take her, for Lazy Thor + Goon, I was wiped out first time, and second I won with barely any damage taken, but it was pure luck. For Patch I managed to kill him just the turn he berserker baraged me but I was pretty lucky too, it won't work later when they have more health...
    Spidey + X-force I got out of the fight with full life but it took 10 min with Sipdey stunlocking me, and X-force healing.

    Mag + OBW I took out OBW first and tried to deny them pink and blue as much as possible, but then again with more health and a lucky cascade, I could have been wiped easily...

    I don't think I'll be able to do as well as first round this time, I'll try my best but I'm really not optimistic.
