Nodes of Power Observations

1. I noticed I am playing decks outside of my group.  Shouldn't I be playing decks within the group I am competing?

2. My recharges are ridiculous.  They refresh 5 minutes before the end of the event.  I assume others have more time depending on when they enter the event.... How do I know when to join to get the same amount of recharges?

The matches have always been pretty random across brackets.  I agree you should face players in yours most often, but I don't think its a huge deal.

As for the refresh times, you have 16 hours from the start of the event before you lose the "normal" refresh timing.  After that, the timer starts after you complete your first match on each node.
If you work backwards from the ending of the event (2 hours earlier than it started) you can figure out when to join so that you don't have this issue.

I understand now, but wow, how would somebody who doesn't have this information know?  It certainly changes the outcome of the event for people and unless you know, you are at a disadvantage.  

Maybe there should be a warning or estimation somewhere when you join.  Too much to ask?

@Boogeyman You are absolutely right that rather than just teaching people how to win individual fights that the events themselves have a bunch of concepts that need training and explanation too.

Even just "meeting objectives"
