    Word Rupture is literally OBW's Espionage in AoE form, + Strike tiles times TEN at level 4, with level 5 suggesting 14 CD tiles.
    For me it was 12 tiles. World Ripture is OP, it's kinda a combintation of Hailstorm & Lightning Strike.

    By the way I love the dialogue, will probably copy it here later, Daken and Bullseye flirting FTW.

    Canonically appropriate, too, since Bullseye is one of the guys Daken's kissed in the comics (though not the guy Daken was shown in bed with). The seduction team Osborn sends after Sentry is Yelena, Moonstone, and Daken--and Daken's the one who has supernatural seduction powers via his ability to manipulate pheremones, and through them, people. Yelena and Moonstone just have the supernatural power of ****.
    I know... those are some of the few things I picked from reading on MPQ... :>> As a girl, I quite appreciated it btw.

    Actually I was just thinking that the nodes are worth a lot and that essentials alone won't be nearly enough to keep me in top 20 range.
    I made my usual run through of 1x each, 3x essentials right at the start, and got about 3k from that.
    My whole top 10 is now over 6.5k, the leader almost at 8k.
    I haven't even looked at their rosters, but I have a good idea what they'll look like.

    Would it be so hard to make things that require a character use any of that character? Buff both Dakens and require either in a node? Or similarly with Heroic events that limit characters? Bah, I can't get good points without a Classic Daken.

    Also, would it be so hard to just sit down for a moment and buff of these characters? I mean, out of the buffed characters, how many would we call "good"? Ares, Daken, and call Rags perfectly usable. As it is, I'm using a Moonstone just because of the high level, her warps are too unreliable and control shift comes too late for what it does. At least Photon Blast hits hard. It would have been a perfect time to do a pass on the Dark Avengers before doing an event to showcase the new & improved team.

    On the positive side, I am glad I burnt the ISO maxing out Ares last week, and spent some ISO on Moonstone during the DA PvP a few months back. I'm thinking my modest Hood would fill out the team. Doesn't actually have Dark One's Blessing, but does give a black spender to do damage and make Sunder tiles go off sooner.

    Nah this early in the event? The 85s don't start taking away placement from the 50s until at least the 4 or 5th day

    I decided to make a little change and try out 5/3/5 102 Ares, 3/5/5 85 OBW, and 4/4/5 70 MN Mags. Get Purple tiles ASAP, then use Mags' Purple to get plenty of Blues for Anti-Gravity Device to give me longer to deal with Countdown Tiles. It's been working out pretty decently so far. Then usually stick to Ares for Green and Yellow, and Mags for Red.

    Aaand the minute I say that, Punisher gets a **** cascade that does JUST enough damage to kill OBW. So I made sure to murder his face.

    Oh, wow. Actually I seem to have gotten a main of doom for a change. 8/10 141 heavy teams, first is a scAvenger.

    I was gonna guess a guy running 50 mStorm, 55 Ares, and 59 Moonstone. Maybe subbing in that buffed 41 Bullseye on occasion? If nothing else than for the humor factor, plus I kind of think that the leaders at this point are getting the max out of their buffed 2* while facing 1* level scaling. Haven't started yet myself or I'd report on the top 10 in mine.

    Man. I am pretty much only getting Crit Boosts and 20 Iso-8. It shouldn't be this difficult to get the 4 Listed Rewards.

    I dont get the points system.
    I Player the Sub from the start. Played every Node Down to about 100 points.
    Placed in the Top 10 with ~3500 points. After i checked this morning i was place 350 over 3000 points behind the leader. Not enough points on the board to catch up.

    It is getting more and more frustating icon_e_confused.gif

    Same situation - I was at 2710 when I did my initial run... normal nodes twice on some and three times on essential. I did essentials and some nodes just now and stopped at 5100 points... leader is close to 8K.

    I played through all of the nodes once when the Event started, and just finished playing through all of them twice a bit ago. I've got 7,142 points so far. I'm really worried about how bad the scaling is going to be by the end of this event.

    Sounds close to what I got - with a roster full of 85's icon_e_biggrin.gif

    (I might have hit the essentials once or twice more too)

    That sounds promising at least.
    Well, apart from the part where you said "all of them" which means that essentials really won't be enough.
