    Um... the rng must be working in my favor for once. First pull from the tokens was a BP blue. This time it was a HT red. This is the luckiest back to back pulls I've ever gotten. I don't expect this to continue but please let me know if someone else had this kind of luck.

    I had similar luck, but only in the opposite direction. Double bagman. I've now gotten and vendored like 4 bagmen out of heroic/event tokens in just the last 2 or 3 days. UGH

    I got 2 green ht, then lucked out.

    God, I can't wait until this event is over. Every time I try doing even a Normal fight on the Deadly Board, it ends up covered in countdown tiles that are somehow completely impossible to get rid of in time. Doubt I have any chance of getting a Cap cover from either map.

    Ok a little help here guys. I have never accused anyone of cheating but there is a guy in my bracket in first place with over 27000 points and I wanna ask your opinion on if I should report him or not. He has a total of 6 heroes but the only one that he is allowed to use in this event is HUMAN TORCH. So that's it. He just has this one guy and nobody else. Possible?

    Given the way scaling works, he's probably seeing 15th level opponents and his Human Torch is boosted to 105th level. So I can believe it pretty easily.

    Even with just one guy? I find that very strange. Taking into consideration health packs and healing times surely that must be very difficult?

    That does definitely seem suspicious.

    I'd be lying if I knew how the game mechanics worked but if it was scaling then surely his levels would get higher like the rest of us if he kept winning? Yeah it could have started out low levels but if he got that high with one guy,then his scaling must be affected? Pfft I don't know, just wanted to find people's opinions on the matter as I never seen anything like that before icon_e_wink.gif

    With just one guy? No way. My HT is 105 and he's got two backups and this tourney is difficult. I will say that I didn't even touch the Deadly version until last night and once I completed all the nodes I was in the #1 spot, shortlived of course, and I'm almost to the 25000 progression mark. So if he were able to play with three characters then for sure he's ok. But just playing with HT? Maybe he's not getting murdered by super cascades or timers but doubtful.

    If he's gotten up to 27k, his scaling should have gotten a lot higher. He shouldn't be able to have gotten that far with just ONE character.

    And seriously, days like today really suck the fun out of the game for it. The enemy is just constantly getting these long streaks and ANY move I make always ends up setting the board perfectly for then to make sure I only have one possible move that rarely helps...

    Is it even possible to play the event with only one character? I've seen single enemies in Bad is Good PvP but this is PvE and a different event.

    If HT is high level that actually makes it very possible to place well since the other heroes might not even count for the purposes of scaling.

    6 heroes a no IM35?

    Whats their average lvl?
    I dont know, i dont, maybe he is facing a bunch of lvl 10 or 15 venoms that barely lick him instead of biting.

    ok so i was out all day so now im going to spend the last hours getting my rank in normal venom back to where I want it to be to get hawkeye M (I dont see myself getting Cap because my alliance im in is only at 364 in normal and 314 in deadly) Should i just focus on normal and not deadly since im only at 643 and will only win one recruit token?


    Or should I just like spam and get enough isos to get boosts to help me and Torch get my deadly rank to the rank to get modern hawkeye on the deadly so i can upgrade my modern hawkeye twice.

    maybe i should join a better alliance xD

    Screw it. I just had the most infuriating game on the NORMAL board with the same **** this game has been pulling all day today. I'm done with this event.

    Another 6am finish for us EU people. I'm going to grab 2 hours sleep and then try to place top 20 or 50. I want the HP more than the covers to be honest but since I've played the event til now it seems pointless not to get good rewards out of it.

    If you can't get to the Mr. Rogers tiers, then I think you should primarily focus on getting as much Iso and tokens from the nodes themselves as possible -- this could mean trying to getting 4/4 rewards in the easier, lower-point-score nodes. MHawkeye is better than nothing, but... not much better. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    The Iso and HP you get from your placement reward will almost certainly be more useful than the MHawkeye cover.

    Also, your wording was a bit confusing, so just to clarify: the alliance and individual rewards are completely independent. Your red/yellow Rogers/MHawk cover(s) depend only on your individual placement. Similarly, the HP/blue Rogers alliance reward depends solely on alliance placement.

    I wish to keep encouraging people to be done with the event so I have a better chance of hanging onto the Cap'n spots in both brackets. I doubt I'll manage in the normal bracket tbh, but my heroic bracket has been less contested. Hopefully I can play a couple of quick games between now and the Final Hour since this has definitely been an event limited by health packs (and one where I've often had to throw in a level 30 Psylocke and level 18 Black Panther to fill out teams when I don't have a health pack left to replace someone who bought the farm but the other two guys are healthy).

    Pretty reasonable luck with the tokens on this one. Three gold tokens from progression awards provided me with an extra Human Torch cover (green, sadly, so I still have no red) and a black Psylocke cover, plus as a bonus a standard token turned into a red Punisher (sadly, I already have 5 of those but hey, 500 iso).

    what i meant was I think i need to be in a better alliance because we dont rank high enough for the top awards. I know they are independent awards.

    EDIT: Also there is no point in me getting cap because even i wind up winning just lets say the yellow power instead of both the red and yellow he'll be useless in my roster to level
