    Might as well call this Christmas Night since the only abilities allowed are Green, Red, and Black.

    My fights are already darn near impossible in the normal bracket. Yeah getting pounded is so much fun, I wish they would stop trying to make PVE more and more difficult, this is the opposite of fun

    ^ enemies do NOT correspond to one's roster levels. All they correspond to is your personal/community scaling.

    Well I started an event prior on both my alt account (max lvl 50 1*) and my main account (several 141s) and they didn't have the same levels either to start or after a single clear

    So they definitely correspond to your roster in some way
    Probably has to do with the fact that you have played less with your 1* account.

    Why are the graphics in heroic venom so fuzzy? They are nice and crisp in the prologue Venom?

    A couple of questions; I'm not fully familiar with these Heroic events just yet.

    1) Are the placement awards for each round, or the event as a whole?

    2) I'm assuming there is scaling, is there rubberbanding in the Heroic events?

    2.5) If there is no rubberbanding, is it best to get in early on the refreshes? Or do points increase along with the community scaling?

    My deadly battles start at 261. I have a maxed wolvie, IM35, and mStorm. BP and Psylocke are at about lvl 40. Boosted HT is 110.

    Well, at least I'll get to see if enemy level scaling really will go down. No way I'm going to beat level 261 enemies with my current allowed roster.

    Mine are 308. So the levels depends on your roster it seems?

    I would just like to know what kind of play testing goes into this? Does anyone at the office try and fight a team of level 400 enemies even using maxed characters that are allowed, let alone if you don't have level 141 Human Torch, Black Panther, and Psylocke?

    I cant wait to use my ironman35.....oh no i sold him to make room for HT
    Ah but i can use Hawkeye.....Damn i don't have him either as he's poop
    But i could use my Bagman.....Hahahahahaha
    That's ok ill just use m.storm.....Oh she's only 20 hmmmm maybe not then
    Psylocke perhaps?.......nope haven't had a chance to level her up yet
    Black panther it is......Nope,same as psylocke
    Human Torch then?..... I hope you are buffed to the heaven's
    Wolvie.....Yay found 1 i can use.Sorted

    number 1 here i come

    Sounds like me during the last heroic event (Juggs?). The one where they gave out Thor covers. My highest usable hero was level 40ish, and I was facing level 200+ mobs off the bat. I couldn't do anything.

    Eventually the node levels died down, and my saving grace was actually modern hawkeye, who ended up being my only hero that could do any real damage...I got him to the 60ish range.

    I was only able to do half the nodes. And only a single pass each, and that somehow landed me in the top 50 so I could get a single green Thor cover. Both rounds.

    The silver lining is my MMR bottomed out after that and all my subsequent events have been a lot easier.

    Doesn't appear to be...

    I started both halves of the event then raised my Modern Hawkeye to level 39 from the 20s out of necessity after getting my **** kicked. My deadly mode stayed static at level 187.

    Didn't it use to be 200 ISO for the initial win at any particular node? or is that only certain events?

    Wow, the event has already turned you to the bottle, eh? Normally it takes the middle of a heroic mode event to get me to drink that much. Slow down, Pandaberry, there's still 7 days to go.

    That is a good idea. I might stop pumping LR ISO into my 3*s and put it in buffed lesser covers.

    I think 100 initial bonus in normal, 200 initial bonus in hard in the past

    It's from the haze of rage I'm seeing it through.

    Something tells me that if you don't have an excellent roster you aren't, ever, going to be seeing level 400 enemies. No matter how well or poorly the devs adjusted scaling there's no way they could get that high just off of community scaling.

    So basically this is the exact same unplayable mess that was Heroic Juggs.

    I agree, but I just meant from a fun point of view. Fighting level 230 enemies non-stop is tedious at best, I would prefer a "game" to remain to be fun.

    Of the 24 characters I have on my roster, I am allowed to use 5 of them in this event. I am already out classed by Bullseye and a couple flamethrower mobs in like, the 4th fight in normal mode. Not really interested in any of the cover rewards, so I was only going to play for ISO anyway, but I don't really see that happening either now.

    Are these bracketed?

    Should I wait to join 'till later?
