DPvMPQ: crazy levels and now this?

DAC169

So for DPvMPQ I've been seeing levels all over the place. I've seen "easy" nodes past 200 and "hard" nodes at 40. And it's not just that the levels were random, sometimes the levels displayed on the map wouldn't even match the levels in battle. So like I'd see level 15 on the map and be surprised by 10K+ health pools of level 250 enemies, or see levels in the 200s but a single low-power Hammer & Anvil kills the level 40 enemies.

No biggie, right? I push through the over-scaled, glide through the under-scaled, and end up with around 16.5K points for Deadpool VS Heroes.

But playing through Deadpool VS Villains I come across this:
My 2* Essential Node
Wait, what? So now I'm currently out 2K points that no one else seems to be missing and that'll only grow.

Annoyingly, the 4* Essential Nodes seem to be the only ones node effected at all.
