Would it be too much to ask for Brigby or a dev to provide these (and the PVP, and the season rewards) for us instead?

:edit: And how come you can't flag something as insightful and like it?

rainkingucd

Good question.  Make sure to tag @Brigby to summon him

I think it's worth exploring.  Brigby messaged me to allow me maintainer status to keep doing these.  

With the rewards changes, I essentially need to rebuild all the spreadsheets, which I don't have the time to do.  

Meaning:  these posts will be event summary, boost list, cover rewards, and previous runs.

I am of the opinion that the greatest value in these posts is allowing feedback regarding the event, answering questions, and sharing strategies.  The rewards lists are nice, but very complicated and probably the aspect that can most easily be dropped while still providing a valuable discussion space.

Thanks for the posts!

granne

Thanks in particular this time for the links to previous runs. It's allowed me to find the diagram of the Florida sub (it's in the December run). Last time was just after the forum nerf. Dark times.

rainkingucd

Should probably add it to the post, but, meh

granne

Ugh. That is such an unholy mess of a sub.

On some level, I kind of understand why they would do that. It's supposed to be an unholy mess of a battle, with different groups attacking from like 5 different directions and Tony dashing back and forth to try to fend off both Bullseye and Rags.

But it is also a level in a game, and rage-inducing frustration is just bad game design.

Brigby

Thanks for the summon, @rainkingucd  

I wish I had good news, but unfortunately I don't have that kind of in-depth information of each individual node available to me. Sorry

May I interject one statement at this juncture? And I don't mean to be didactic or facetious in any way.

We weren't so much asking about sub and node details, though that is something rainkingucd puts into the PVE posts.  It's the rewards.

I forgot how much I loathe this event. In particular this sub, Florida, especially...

Fun discovery of the event - Elektra's Shadow Step protects against the damage from your own Thanos's Courting Death. That combo *really* knocks somebody's health down when that triggers.

I was wondering about that, because I encountered a few Patch/Elektra/Thanos teams in PVP earlier today.

I must say, as obnoxious as much of this event is, I love the Devil Dino Team-up Node. Probably becomes less fun as scaling gets worse, but right now, it's still a blast.

Yeah, championing Devil Dinosaur was one of those stupid things I did in this game that I have never regretted.  In addition to this event, most nodes are just better with a dinosaur...until scaling makes using him more difficult.

On an unrelated note, are people seeing less serious participation than usual this event?  I'm not sure if it's the new reward system or the fact that it's The Hunt again, but I'm definitely not on pace to get the full progression yet I might still finish in the Top 200.  Usually in the same slice the full progression is only good for Top 300-350 and sometimes not even Top 400...

Not the OP but placement wise I'm looking to finish in 10~20ish. I never bother with the "ideal" clear times/node refresh or whatever. 

fun_and_gun

is it new that the bullseye III node in the savage land require 5 clears to get the timer to start instead of the usual 4 like all the other repeatable nodes?
