    thanks, Phantron, I'm so behind that could try this low > high strategy anyway (usually start from high and grind down easy low nodes to get more points which is indeed silly, or just do high nodes a couple of times or fewer).

    You have to pay attention to how much time is left though. This event is different in the sense you do not know for sure when the event ends. It obviously makes no sense to do a low-high strategy if the event ended before you can finish the high point nodes.

    I usually start working on the high point nodes with 2 hours left and do them once to at least make sure something crazy didn't happen (e.g. you lose all your characters right away and can't beat any of them), since 2 hours gives you enough time to get enough health packs to try again later.

    Sumilea, could you be so kind and suggest the best node clearing order? I screwed up as usual but with the additional screw-up pile from the devs I need your guidance even more (and many others too, I'm sure) :>

    I use the following table to work out which missions to do (Do not who the best way to build a table on this forum)
    Stacks   SP  SR   IU  FofP  SaG  RaD  FD/Ram TBS
5        40  60  100   160  180  200   220   240
4        32  48   80   128  144  160   176   192
3        24  36   60    96  108  120   132   144
2        16  24   40    64   72   80    88    96
1         8  12   20    32   36   40    44    48

    These shows you that even the last stack of The brute squad is worth more than the first of Secure Perimeter. I then normally decide how many nodes i want to do then do them a node at a time. So if I want to do everything above 100 say that is 15 missions. I do Iso-8 once, then Freedom of the press twice, etc (this means nodes refresh in a better order). I work from top to bottom when I do not know I can clear all the nodes in time.

    Some event specific caveat for the general strategy:

    Freedom of the Press has no villians, so you can safely put that later than usual because it's very hard to lose to that one (hopefully).

    Assuming Patch is adequately leveled, all 3 of the Patch required nodes are significant easier than their point value would indicate and can be saved for the end.

    Whenever uncertainty is high (lack of time/health packs), do the high point, high risk missions first. Either you beat them and it removes a lot of uncertainty, or you wipe out and then you know you got to stick with the easy missions for the rest of the event. The earlier you know the outcome of a high point/high risk mission, the better you can adjust your plan. Of course, if wiping out on a high risk mission will completely screw you up, then do avoid them until the very end. But if you think you can still salvage from a wipeout, remove the high point/high risk missions earlier is better than later (when you may no longer be able to recover).

    Patch is only easy when you have him which I dont have. And I dont think i can get the points to get his red. So im stuck with the other nodes that will get too hard for me due to the scaling ._.

    Ugh, I'm getting wiped without some way of neutralizing Daken quickly :/ Cap's lousy two-turn stun is just pathetic. I only have one Patch cover, no Psylocke and no IM, so I'm stuck with playing Thor, mStorm + third whenever Patch is not required. And normally Storm + Thor are an an excellent team, but not with Daken and not with these boards that are swamped with blue and black. By the time I get enough green and yellow for safety, I'm down to half health for everyone and then I'll go off to prologue healing after almost every match.

    Scaling is getting brutal - lvl 140 on Rampage. With a mob feeding Ares green. Hah. Against boosted 125 Thor, 90 Storm and 84 cap (put some Iso into him so he can at least tank some damage while collecting his blue) Maybe I should try Magneto instead of Storm? But my MNMag is badly covered at 5/3/5.

    Rampage sort of assumes you got Patch, who can generally benefit from taking an Onslaught due to his regen. Without him, it's going to be pretty rough. Note that Ares will only use Onslaught if he has exactly 5 green AP or 11 or more green AP because his team consists of someone with a higher cost green (6 AP for Assault Rifle), so it's not as bad as it looks.

    Is City ever going to end? icon_eek.gif

    It should end while I still have a lead of amazing 300 points. Not that I'm so terribly keen on these tokens, but hey, I might luck out on psylocke? But it has slowed down so much.

    with the nodes getting really high leveled, i feel like i should just focus on the season while i wait for the next set of nodes and rank where im at. I'm still trying to transition to 2*. I only have thor buffed to a very high level. Cap and Magneto are only in the 50-60s buffed. Its hard to do the higher nodes with them.

    With how long City is taking to finish, I only see us MAYBE getting through two full subevents. The major thing has been how slow the refreshing points is for the different nodes. I do like this system for these events, but they need to speed up the refresh for the next time they try one like this.

    So I have been watching OSCORP: HEROIC Sub Completion Tracking thread (viewtopic.php?f=20&t=7052)

    And based on my calculations, it looks like we might be in the last 90 minutes of the City Sub.

    The refreshes seem like they are much weaker compared to previous events. I used to go to bed with nodes at 50 and wake up to 250-300 nodes. Now I wake up to 85-150.

    *sigh*
    Already unable to complete nodes because of scaling by the first sub-event. Gosh this game is so fun when I can't ever win.

    Edit: Ok, so it turned I won because Juggs suicide headbutted. That's hilarious, but scaling's still totally obnoxious.

    On one hand I just want this sub to end because I can't get more than 300 points from a node anymore.
    On the other hand I don't have Psylocke and just a lvl 18 IM40, so I'm pretty sure I'll have a miserable time next sub.

    Well according to the event rules there are only two subs - city and tower. If Tower also last say 2 or 2 and a half days it means the last two days might be the repeatable nodes in the main sub.

    makes sense. I was wondering how they could match up a timed overall event with finite point endings for sub events....

    Well, by pure, dumb luck it seems I timed my last two refreshes perfectly icon_e_biggrin.gif
    My nodes were full an hour ago, and I just grinded like a madman up to 13629 points in the sub, which puts me at 5th in my main.

    So it _is_ actually possible to catch up, but it requires a whole lot of luck to get perfect timing on unpredictable refreshes.
    Mind: blown.

    Probably going to slip down a bit in the main since the sub isn't done yet, but that 9000 point gap has shrunken down to 800 points, and I'm actually 500 points ahead of #10.

    So this really could be salvageable and I just might get two Daken covers out of this mess after all.
    Scaling is going to hurt, but since I already caught up I can go back to playing minimal missions again, so it _should_ be ok.

    Oh and I'll probably get top 2 in the sub, which wasn't intended, but I'll take it.

    best team for this event according to me is patch storm and thor
    with a maxed patch he will tank all exept black.
    you use patch green, thors yellow and storms red and boom all enemys are dead exep for the node with jug ven dak.
