  • So how does one figure out the base node value? I'm in #4, about 1k behind #1 in my bracket, so theoretically I shouldn't be seeing much if any rubber banding, correct?

    Doing some inverse crunching, I believe these are probably the base values for the new tower nodes:

    The Oscorp Connection - 40
    Futile Resistance - 60
    Critical Data - 80
    Arrested - 180
    Like Father Like Son - 200

    You're scaling is working better than mine then. I have 75, 112, 150, 227
  • Yes! Just snatched victory from the jaws of 3rd place. Sorry, jett25xx.

    Be so close to the Leader you have no rubber banding icon_eek.gif Like father like son has base value 200

    That is correct

    These are likely the low point nodes for the round. If "imposters Assemble" and "Time for Some Answers" are still worth low points, then there is a valid argument for complaining.

    On "Like Father, Like Son", my other half sees 800 points being awarded for the first stack, while I see less than 400 on my screen. The global rubberband is there, just work up the tower a bit.

    That would explain my low numbers too. I was #4 in my main bracket as well. Since pushed to 5.

    Actually I am seeing a little of it - father/son is 302 for me. But how do you know what the base value is?
  • Where you are in relation to your main leader is irrelevant. It is your relation to the global leader that matters.

    I am 6th but I had to start a few days late due to real life, my Like Father Like Son is 1061. Though a couple minutes ago is was 1069, dunno what's up with that.

    Like Father Like Son - started at 387
    Futile - 145
    Critical Data - 140
    Oscorp Connection -97
    Arrested - 420 (348 after played)
    Symbiote Showdown - 532 (opened after I cleared Arrested).

    So far, only have done Arrested and Like Father Like Son. Before sub ended, I had managed to close the gap to the main bracket leader to just over 4k. Still sitting roughly 4k back. Not sure if rubberbanding has kicked in for me, not sure why these would be higher for me in some cases.
  • Like father like son was 467 so there's definitely some rubberbanding for me but now MPQ's server is acting up again.

    There is something wrong with those numbers I have the exact numbers Mouser posted above for my nodes.
  • so are all the nodes repeatable or are some of them one time only?

    I think those are what he got, rubberbanding included, not base points.

    Anyone thinking the 40k prog reward is achieveable, just a bit below 35k right now, and with the points increasing, it seems like it could be a possibility. I could be wrong though, with barely any time left for more than 2 refreshes tops in the final main nodes.

    Question how much is a bit below. I am at 30752 and see no rubber band so that would make the part behind the leader were you see no scaling nearly 4K, probably more as you my well not be the overall leader.

    I only played four so far but those are all repeatable.

    I would like to know this too. Though, it probably.doesn't matter either way as ill never be further behind than I am.now.

    Oh snap! Gold daken in final node!

    Level 184 Blue does 795 damage, converts two blues, and destroys 4 friendly strike tiles for 556 damage each. All for 5 blue.

    His strike tiles are 74 strength each. Healing & Heat recovers 7% and if less than 7 blues, lose 3%. (Again, these are for lvl 184)

    It's not like I have some catching up to do or anything.
