    Ugh. This sub needs to end. I'm too tired to wait for this *yawn* I hope I'll manage to cling to top 5 for 100 HP, sitting on #3 with 14200 points. Nice round number, I'll just leave it at that and hope the rest of the top 10 don't decide to put in some more effort

    Is it just my imagination or has the point disparity become extremely small lately? There's barely 1k points difference between #1 and #10 in my tower sub and gaining just a few points can change a rank dramatically. In PvP I've started seeing several people with the same points one below the other more and more often, than a jump of 2-3 points and then several more with the same number again.

    My Overwatch is up to 192. I'm probably screwed for the last repeatables, but it's not like I had a chance to catch up without grinding :S

    Come on, end end end! I'm stubbornly fighting to hold on to 2nd place and I'm running out of winnable nodes. icon_e_surprised.gif

    Mine is in the high 160's now, it's not fun currently. I don't even want to think about it at 192. It basically comes down to two things...boosting or a favorable board to start. Without one of the two, you have no chance.

    I am pretty certain that I hate Heroic Mode over every other type of event. I swear every single one has had some sort of issue.

    Depends on the sub I think. I won mine by just over 800 points with a little over 16K Looking at rubber banding score I think someone came close to 19K

    Mine is 144 now. Considering my Patch is lvl 77 without the boost, things are not great depending on scaling.

    Tower hasn't closed. Nodes in main haven't opened.

    Hmmmmm

    Looking at the node values of the 5 I currently see they the same as last time and OMG I am inside the rubber band limit not scaling at all.

    Yeah, it won't be amusing if I lose 2nd right now.

    So with 30 hrs left, what's the strategy as far as refreshes go.

    1 clear now, 1 clear in ~15-16 hrs (because I'm not waking up at 2 am to play), and 1 clear 12 hrs after that? Sound right?

    Tower's closed for me and new nodes are open in the main. You might have to restart?

    New nodes open in main for me...max points on one under 300.

    Hmm. One run through now, a full clear with 14 hours to go, and then whatever it takes for top 30 in the last hour... guess with 30 hours to go that's as optimal as it gets.

    Yes, there are repeatable (but not yet open) pins in the main bracket.

    Okay Ice. The much hallowed main repeatable nodes have now opened. Let me lay it out for you.

    I had joined the main but not yet joined a sub when the poorly-thought-out points adjustment happened on Thursday.

    At that moment, I was 8000 points behind the leader in my main.

    Putting my faith in your comments here, I knuckled down and played a sub. I finished top 5 and had gained 2500 points on the leader in my main.

    After the City sub, I was 5500 points behind the leader in my main.

    I came in first in my tower sub, but lost ground on the leader in my main.

    At this moment, I am 7800 points behind the leader in my main.

    Granted, there are nodes I haven't unlocked, but I can see two of the three essential nodes

    My nodes are worth 500 tinykitty points.

    This is bulltinykitty. Jesus tinykitty Christ you guys need to check your math.

    Yes thats one way to do 3 refreshes. I am going to rest a couple of hours then then do a clear. Then one 14 hours after that then a final one at the end.

    Correction...One node just over 400 at least, and it opened a new node as well.

    Sounds about right. I think if you play soon you should be able to play a total of three times with all of the refreshes. I'm aiming for now, about 13 hours from now, and then let the rubberband get up to as high as possible and hit it very hard at the last hour.

    Just jumped on to do my last refresh of that aaannd...they're gone after.one match...booo lol. Rank 70...so ill just have to see if I can somehow make it up to 30 by the end. This is why I am not happy with the odd obfuscated end times they are using for this event that seem rather "why?" To me. O well, if I miss it...its just dakan's blue. I have a feeling it might be only being brought to 3 or 4 in my build anyway depending o. The last lvls (do we k.ow the last lvls yet?).
