Not justifying the system in any way, I agree that it's insane what you have to do to actually win events...just saying, if you want to score top placements, you have to time it so your final grind in the sub ends with as little time as possible left on the clock...then grind the new one 4x immediately. Fun, fun, fun!!

If I want to succeed in the game, I have to sacrifice every scrap of free time I have to it. I love the game, but sometimes I need to do something else. If my kids have a bathroom emergency, or there's a PTO conference, or I work late - progress gone. For 1k iso, 2hp, and a 3* cover, I shouldn't have bothered. I should've made some progress in a AAA title I paid 1/4 the amount I have for this one. The anniversary has some nice rewards, but I can't reach a lot of them. I don't expect to be catered to, but I also know that I'm free to take my wallet and go. I need to read more.

You should be able to get Gwenpool when she's the final progression reward in the SHIELD Simulator next season. Assuming you didn't get her in her PvP, that is. At the very least you should be able to roster her before she's a PvE essential again some time in 2017. Covers are plentiful. Don't get too worked up about missing a few.

I specifically tried to do that so I could get a cover to do the essentials in the next event. In that I have 4 clears on each sub node, but won't have access to my device for another 3 hr, so I'm automatically behind the curve. I'm garbage at PvP. The best I've ever got is ~ 600. I've been trying, but most of the plausible matches I find are worth 20 pts and will require 3x heal packs. Like I said, I'm probably doing it wrong. Somehow. I don't know how you can do a match-3 game wrong, but there it is. I'm just that kind of stupid, I guess.

If you place well, consider it a bonus. I like to pretend it's a progression based PVE and that helps me feel like I truly can play as I want. That CP gives me a 4* and a shot at a 5*. I much prefer it. I too am free to play, have a family with children and a job. Oops, got to get back to work.

With CL I just play when I feel like it and grab covers from progression is so stress free. Right now I'm 7th in venom bomb after grinding every node to 1 so far which took a fairly large part of my day....dam my obsession with Bucky...
