    Dear Devs,
    Thank you for putting the 500 iso reward back! It gives me the motivation I need to grind every node instead of just the choice point nodes. Also, thank you for the 2500 iso rewards on both normal and hard. You guys are awesome! With so much iso to be won, I have been able to level several of my covers to a point where they are usable and I am really having fun switching up my teams instead of relying on only 3 characters to do everything.
    Thank you!

    This may be a slightly better comment than mine. Might. Possibly. If you squint, and look at it in ultraviolet light.

    I think I've had the closest battle playing this game in this simulator; I beat a match with my Thor having only 15 HP.

    Just finished my second refresh just shy of 40,000 points. Assuming that I wake up in time, and I will not, then I can ,are a sweep tomorrow morning before finishing up in the evening.

    Making a few refreshes should let everyone else in my main bracket know that victory is unattainable. They tend to grind less when they see 5000 point gaps even after grinding their nodes down to nothing.

    It's a trap Jools.

    If you grind out the nodes now hoping for that elusive sweet sweet ISO the scaling fairy will come and kick you in the lady parts.

    As Ghandi once said: 'Control yourself, Take only what you need from it. A family of trees wanting to be haunted'.

    Huge thumbs up for quoting Ghandi. Like, whoa. And I have been having wild swings of good luck when it comes to those 500s. About half the nodes I got the 500 on the first try. The other half of the nodes I have ground down to one point and keep getting 20 iso rewards. Oh well, at least it is giving me something to hope for icon_e_smile.gif

    I always felt quoting Ghandi should require indicating where along the hunger strike the quote comes. This sounds like (2nd half) like it comes from somewhere between "I'll eat my own damn arm" and "I am the queen of England, marry me me me me ...AAAHHHH.. potatoe"

    But it was your love of bagman that inspired my comment!

    What I don't understand is how much they want us to hate Daredevil. It seems like every time he's required, it's either all goons, desert environment, or against enemies that easily overwrite the traps.

    The Platinum Daredevil will create protect tiles. Sit tight!

    Great now I feel bad about ascribing MGMT lyrics to Ghandi. Also hungry. Mostly hungry really.

    I wish they'd just disable the ability to see other rosters. That way I can't see the guy who is 6000 points ahead of me ( in first place) only has a level 20 MBW as his top character.


    Also, I was pleasantly surprised to find a use for Psylocke's blue ability. When paired with Ares, you can steal back that green that he gives away when using his ability.

    It certainly is frustrating. The scaling mechanic is going to be the death of this game long term. Alliances have breathed a little fresh air into the mix, but long term, the game has little feel for progression with everything scaled and MMR based.

    Had no idea that was Ghandi, thought it was from MGMT.

    I hate Simulator. I can't believe they stop me from using Bagman. How am I supposed to play this game without my favourite character? This is so tinykitty stupid.

    You use bagman alright. The one on the other team is really working for you. Just feed him yellows and he will bump his goons counter.

    Gray Suit Black Widow hates me, apparently. Every time I try that mission, I get the worst boards I've ever seen. The enemy is always able to make a few matches in one turn somehow, but all I'm ever able to do is maybe a match 4 of a color I can't use or environment tiles.

    Some day I'll get some good luck.

    "Trap Disarmed." "Trap Disarmed." "Trap Disarmed."

    Aargh! icon_mad.gificon_mad.gificon_mad.gif. #ragequit

    DD is clearly the 3* joke character, like Bagman at 2*.

    The Devs create these guys, and then give a dollar to charity every time someone levels one of them. You should put all of your ISO into them both. Think of the children.

    Is it just me or does scaling seem harsher then juggs event? Or is this based on the old sim ratio again? Didn't they say they were tweaking on it?

    I think more people may be playing. This is a heck of a lot more fun than Juggernaught was.

    Edit: Also you get sub and main bracket rewards and your Alliance manager wants his TPS reports before Friday and needs you to work the weekend. I'd imagine this event is a lot busier.

    Almost everything became deadly on first day for me. Weird.

    Since playing close to the end gives more points, I hope they change the end time for half the subs to a more convenient time for EU players. If not, then getting even a top 10 will be almost impossible. Unless, of course someone can stay up until 4-6 am.
