    Replied in the General forum forgetting there's now an event specific one.

    The scores look like they were tallied for a 10 day event instead of a 7 day event (and 24 hours node changes instead of the 36 hour changes the last few times). With 20% scaling each day we would have had a handful of people reaching the final reward.

    It's too bad that it will probably take too much time for D3 to scale down the rewards so the over-all leader atleast would have a shot at the final score.

    OR!

    Unstable ISO-8 part 2!! (ok ok no one wants this)

    Am I the only person deliberately taking damage to keep the scaling reigned in? I noticed that if I got through a battle unscathed, it immediately went up 8 levels or so, but if I took some damage, it doesn't. I've started letting a silent strike or something similar to go off every match, and I'm avoiding healing even if OBW is on the team (I mainly use her for CD tile delays). Some of the matches I've barely touched have gone up 100 levels due to community scaling, but a lot of them are still nice and low since I've at least let the personal scaling stay low.

    It's funny you should mention that... last night I stopped playing in the middle of a battle to do a couple runs of Super Dragons in puzzle and dragons, and then I started wondering... what if I always joined a battle before my breaks? The game would think I spent a looong time beating that battle, and while it probably wouldn't have much effect overall, any little bit helps, right?

    Primed at 48k for the final refresh. That 500 ISO is going to be so sweet on the bank, or is it 250 ISO. That insignificant ISO reward for 7 days of playing an event is going to be so rewarding.

    Sarcasm aside didn't mind this event. Do not like how it's going to band like TaT. I sense another 4th place coming on.

    Do I do lowest or highest nodes first? D:

    I was about to post "ye gods! 48k!" but I doubled checked and I'm sitting on that too. -_- (so tired)
    Next prize is the big 500 ISO. I'll take solace in telling myself that it's that 500 that I use for Torch's first few levels.

    I'm a little bit unsure as to how someone could screw up the numbers so badly for an event that's pretty streamlined and about 6 months old. There literally exists historical data for how this event played out at least twice already in the live environment.

    Anyway. Yup. Going to brace myself for a 3rd or 4th, but man that yellow Wolvie would be nice.

    Up to first with 13.5 hours to go. Unfortunately, that amounts to nothing at all. It all comes down to the final refresh.

    BTW, 230 Bullseye + Daken is brutally difficult. High level Daken is the strongest opponent in the game imo. If Lazy Daken gets a power increase similar to Lazy Shieldbro, PVE is about to get a lot harder.

    Highest to get the most of rubberbanding...

    however... my highest (lvl 230s) mean that I wipe/retreat quite frequently... thus I do all the lower/easier ones first... this allows me to get onto first spot anyways...

    Lazy daken lvl 230 will not be THAT much stronger (probably) - due to the fact that ** scale differently then *** (and he is only lvl 69 in his 2** version)

    230 Bullseye + Daken mission.

    I beat this one with ....
    Spidey + Venom + m Storm
    MagsMN + LazyThor + c Storm
    Psylocke + Hulk + Wolverine X-Force
    LazyCap + c Mags + Hood
    Black Panther + BWGS + Patch

    With some of these teams, I wasn't expecting to win. I also lost with many teams, since I was trying to get my MMR down some.

    Finished my last but one rounds. Sat at 49,300 ish points still 350 points of the brackets leader and within the rubberband limit - I have no scaling on the points on the nodes so the overall leaders just over 50K points. So the 53,333 should be reachable woot!

    Yeah, I'm sitting in 1st with 49475.
    I'm so not looking foward to doing Daken/Bullseye and Rags/Venom half asleep at 5 am tomorrow, but I'm not going to throw away the Torch covers I've worked 6 days for.
    Making the two highest scoring nodes doable without Lazy Cap is driving the community scaling to crazy heights, I think those two will be at 230 for almost everyone soon (if not already).

    I missed the refresh on the first half of Sunday (forgot to play until just after the new nodes showed up) but looks like I am still in a similar place to the others posting point totals here.

    I really wish I was doing as good as you guys. I guess my levels just aren't good enough or something to think I had a chance of even getting in the top 200 in this event. I just tried doing some missions to get my points back up, but all of the Hard and Deadly ones were damn near impossible for me to do. Enemys kept getting these ridiculous streaks and getting overpowered countdown tiles in spots that made them almost impossible to get. And just doing the Normal ones didn't even get me back over rank 200.

    I guess it's my fault for not getting up at the right times to do the missions for the proper rubberbanding results. I should have just stuck to the prologue Dark Avengers map instead of trying these events. Well, maybe I'll be able to get my levels up with the prizes I still have to get in that one.

    Everyone over 200, enjoy your Human Torches. icon_e_smile.gif

    They should just rename the event Musical Chairs. All that matters is that you're in the right spot when the music stops.

    You don't have a high-leveled Thor/C.Storm? I find having them as buffed characters has made these matches a lot easier than they should be. Having Patch/Hulk buffed (for those that have them) make it even easier.

    Most of my enemies have ranged from lvls 50-140. I've only been attacking each node 2-3 times at most.

    Hahaha, the new patch is available. It's so like D3 to put up a major game update right before an event ends... It's super risky but I'll update. The Alliance changes are really intriguing.

    That's a super dangerous move. Remember, sometimes theevents tab disappears on update. I'm gonna wait until after.

    Right now, my highest leveled charactered are Thor, OBW, and CStorm, but they're all around 60. I have Patch and Hulk, but they're low leveled because I haven't been able to get many covers for them. That's pretty much the story for any 3 stars I have.
