    Idiot. It's every 34 minutes except after 6pm then it changes to 109 minutes. I already told you this. Why you no believe me?

    Every 12 hours by my count...

    It looks more like 8 to me.

    Did my 2nd clear, managed to kill: the Hulk, Patch, Black Panther, Daken (both), Ares, MMN, Hood, Punisher
    Hurt cStorm and Psylocke greatly
    Killed Juggy even if he's a 1*

    Feeling smug about myself! Hope that's enough even if I won all battles but one (that Don Trap got me) because I'm bored to tears when I have to actually play to lose.

    That lazyDaken needs to look up to his dad and 2* stepbrother and heal faster.

    Tiebreaker, anyone?

    I guess I'll just do one sweep in this sub, then. icon_rolleyes.gif

    Wow, are these bracket filling up really slow or something? I just did my main mission now. 30 points. I am ranked 760 out of 785. the problem? the leaders are up to 10k already in my bracket and there is only 10 hour left in the sub. Did I just get screwed by having a ton of guys who are gonna get an extra refresh than me?!?! This sucks!

    Unless subs are different for everyone, I guarantee it's 12, otherwise my points should have refreshed about 9pm and at 11pm before I went to bed, none had refreshed...

    I've been disappointed with the new Daken in this event. Maybe more Healing and Heat covers makes it less of an issue, but with all the Maggia powers that impact blue, I've generally bled health the couple times I tried him. Not as bad as Daredevil vs. 3 Goons, of course. (I think Daredevil is underrated on the forums but obviously those PvE designs were an actual problem a few months ago.)

    Based on the earlier thread of the guy saying it was 8, I think he was seeing incomplete refreshes and not realizing it. I'm 99% sure it's 12, since I tend to time my essential node runs very carefully, and was tracking it this morning.

    I mentioned this as a problem in another thread. The sharding for PVE sometimes means old brackets, which basically means there is almost no way to catch up. It's stupid, and it should be changed back to time entry. But stupid stuff that negatively impacts players doesn't get fixed.

    That indeed sucks,...including the fact that these are 12 hour resets on the 36 hr total sub, the others in your bracket may have done 2+ additional refreshes compared to yours if they started right at the crack of the starting gun....

    Does this mean the "nudges" to the bracketing computer with regard to Days played affects BOTH PvE and PvP? icon_e_sad.gif

    EDIT: Apparently so according to Rajjeq! Thanks for the 411

    Sauce, ....hope for some sort of godlike rubberbanding at the end to make the beginning points next to worthless, like TaT or something !

    It's 12. I'm about 9 hours since my last play-through and my nodes have not fully refreshed yet.

    Toxic, how do you know which countdown is for which goon? If they are the same type of goon that is.

    If they're the same level, you don't know. That's been one of the often requested features.

    @sauce - I joined at like the 13.5 hour mark and played for ~45 minutes, doing one full clear and the essentials a 2nd time each for 8800 pts. If you wait til the end and grind just a little more than I did, you can probably catch up pretty far.

    edit: Also I just checked and my main bracket is still only at 973. If you just joined we're probably in the same bracket - fun!

    Probably, the easiest way to implement this feature is to make them never be exactly the same level.

    It's only an issue if you try to game the system with a late entry.

    So everyone must enter at exactly the same time? Nobody is allowed to, you know, have a life, and not be dictated by a game?

    Probably not. I spent the last 10 hours in hospital so missed a refresh putting me at a disadvantage. I will be testing the Bowgentle theory for top 20. I give it a go but sitting in 650th place currently so cannot see it happening. With luck I will pull myself into the top 20 over the duration of the event - assuming my health holds out but was discharged at least so hopefully the new pills will work.

    Sitting in the dentists office waiting to get a piece of my head ripped out. Ill join pve after. Hopefully these partial brackets all fill up. Dont see why its so hard to make the game fair.
