Thank you for posting all those. Really helped with planning.

I agree the point rewards on this event were much too low for the goals. You had to be clearing every day to stay in this one. I kept expecting a large increase in the points the last day or two of the event (as often happens) but while there was an increase nothing like what was necessary for this monster.

It is further complicated by being a very long event. If you can't put in a full day on one of the missions -bang- your are out for progression. Normally there is a lot more wiggle room than this and a longer event should have MORE wiggle room not less.

This is also not the easiest event, at least not the earlier missions. Wolverine being fed red tiles is brutal on those with lighter line-ups.

My final spreadsheet for the event with all scoring.

I'm stopping now as there is no way for me to reach progression. This event is a huge error.

spatenfloot

Wave nodes always take 4 clears. Why do people keep stopping after 2?

ClydeFrog76

Holy **** it worries me how much people play this game. During this event I've seen the same names at the top of every sub, finishing all their clears optimally as soon as one opens, and then timing it perfectly to grind when they close. That's a hell of a lot of very specific timing going on and an extreme hold the game has on their lives.

I understand the need to be competitive some people have but this is just unhealthy. I can't believe the devs want people to play it like this, but then that's the way it works so...they must I guess.

Really not good.

richterbelmont10

It's the final day of the event. I started playing and realized I still needed 25,144 points to get the 15 CP. I just.... can't make it. I tried my best.

I quit.

Good night!

hkattman

The devs told us that they would be setting max progression at 4 times the max on nodes. The reason this was nearly impossible to make max progression is exactly this. Even had you done the waves 4 times, you wouldn't have made it. The computer took the max point of every node and multiplied by 4. The waves lose value after 2 times through so hence hitting every node 4 times would still leave you short of points. This is exactly what the devs said they were setting the program to do, just on this pve waves were not taken into account.

monsieurmojo

FYI, anyone reading this, the same problem is going to take place in Strange Sights. SS is also full of wave nodes, and progression (69k) looks to be a lot higher than my projected full-point clear total (~56-57k). Get your waves ground to dust on SS.
