    Is everyone else seeing this ending 2 hours 20 minutes from now (12:30 EDT), as opposed to 1 hr 50 minutes (12 EDT)?

    Mine looks correct - ending in 1 hr 40 minutes, which would be 12 noon.

    Had a few questions for seasoned PvE pros.

    1) Does each sub-event continue to scale and scale and scale forever? Right now China is already undoable and I have yet to grind it. So this is mostly community scaling at work.
    2) Those that are the top of the pack on the main leader boards, do they run away with it - or is it still possible to catch up if the early sub-events were not played heavily?
    3) Somewhat related to #2, is it possible to use any later sub-event to rubberband into the top positions on the main or one has to realistically work all the subs?
    4) The 1-2 prize is X-force which is useless, but also "all previous awards", what does the mean exactly? Finishing 1-2 in the main gives you *all* the rewards or just the 1-2 and 3-10?

    #4: You get X-force and the next tier of rewards, so 3-10.

    #4: suddenly no longer worth it.

    Huh. Not going to place very well in this sub-event, but I am happy with how many points I have so far. Hopefully I can keep this pace up. Just have to time when I play through the nodes a little better in the next one.

    I'm liking the trend so far with overall points...

    I'm around 22K or so with 6 days left, meaning that the 45K progression reward of a purple Daken is obtainable.


    This would be the first event with completely obtainable rewards since the last re-run of The Hunt (Hulk).

    Hoping it stays that way. icon_razz.gif

    What the everloving - two subs at once? Ending at the same time? Seriously?

    Edit: no wait there's a progression bar. Wonder if it actually does anything.

    Yup...just now saw that. Lovely. That plus the pvp for S2 ending near same time.

    Yay! Two simultaneous subs, each with a progression bar!

    ... said no one ever.

    It makes no sense how I have played as optimally as possible yet the leader in my sub bracket has almost 4000 more points than I do.

    Anyone know how this happens

    Someone really hit that sub hard if they hit 15K points.

    Did they change something during this last sub? I got quite a bit behind and I don't think I messed up my refreshes.

    When the progression bar is full a node will probably open up. I remember this happened in an event a few months back.

    Are we meant to be able to view PVE sub-event standings after they've ended, like in PVP? The Krakadoom standings stayed on the Versus tab for ages after the event ended...

    meh... playing semi-casually(hit each node once initially, then make sure to rubberband the last hour or two) and am in 5th... only 1k behind leader.

    Yes I suspect it will be a node with avengers as Sentry comes over to the SHIELD side very similar to the way the Hulk event worked

    I tried that, but I must be in some super grindy bracket, because I'm 4k behind in #77. That's okay since I'm not going for the cover, but still weird how rubberbanding works for some and not others.

    At least it's only six nodes per sub at the moment. Could be worse *cough* Florida *cough*...

    At first glance, the second sub also seems to have a higher difficulty level so is this Hard Mode?

    scaling is dumb, ive only done 1 clear each sub and im getting super high lvls compared to others
