  • Well I can connect to server again hit some nodes made it to 41K with nearly a 6K lead over 10th. I have started to dial it back now as have no intention of finishing first.

    I will make the 45K before the subs end so it does not matter whats turns up in the last 2.5 Days.

    Make sure your points accrue correctly after these server issues!

    Mine are not adding up the nodes that I just finished icon_evil.gif

    Yet I still have to use health packs when I'm wiped out on these nodes that don't count icon_e_sad.gif

    Thanks for the tip, EvilSonGoku! It works now!

    Whew, I guess working as intended? icon_rolleyes.gif

    daken, im cominngg.

    fighting with enemies lvl 90 higher then ur max buffed char is so hard.. and much more when u need do nodes several times..

    btw, once per sub i saw that enemies lvl went down by 15-24 lvl, i saw it twice when i had 2/3 chars dead, and only daken(ares at second time) survived with low hp.
    is there any other way to lower lvl?
    tried as well tank 6 times in a row, win battle with 1 survivor - no effect

    Taking damage lowers enemy levels. It is possible to lower level even while winning, but generally that'd require all but 1 guy die while winning. This only works if your levels are higher than the community scaling.
  • What is wrong? Why i cant obtain more points? Last one i have the same issue :/ never had this issue before

    Ooooohhhhhkay, there's no way I'll grind those Torch nodes.
    I beat them with Patch/CMags, but there's no way I'll do that repeatedly.
    Guess the essential and that Fabio node will have to do.

    It makes more sense for them NOT to publish the rubberbanding guidelines each time they change them. People should be able to swoop in at the last minute, play minimally, and pass those who've played way more? Riiiight...
    Except the devs have said that they do not want to force people to grind, which is why they put in rubberbanding and insane scaling into effect in the first place. So we all adjusted to that. Now we are being told, no, grinding is good -- except you will still face insane scaling.

    My opening node in Hell's Kitchen is 215. I'm 6th in my main bracket, but behind Keithz by 6000 points. I haven't been grinding significantly, but I'm suffering from: (1) not taking much damage; and (2) the after-effects of the screw-up from the last Heroic, where the points were resent after my bracket started, and the only way to remain close to the leaders was to grind. My scaling at the time was not high enough to get the benefit of the devs decision to reset people with high scaling either, so I got the short-end of both resets.
    Maybe you should really just play for top 20 once?
    You keep saying that your scaling is insane, yet you always win your PVEs or at least top 5 them, when top 20 will get you the same effect. Maybe really take it easier the first 7 days or so?
    For comparison's sake, how many points do you have?

    You still don't get it do you. Reckless wins events. It's what she does. It's ALL SHE DOES! You can't stop her

    Listen! And understand! Reckless is out there. She can't be bargained with! She can't be reasoned with! She doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And she absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!

    Sounds like skynet material if I ever heard it...

    I got an stupidly easy bracket. I am first with 39k points and have like 7k lead to tenth person. There is no way I will not get to top 20 now. Enemies on hard sub-bracket are getting uncomfortably high leveled with over lvl 200 Torches and what not. I hope that enemy levels will not get totally out of hand so I can grab that daken cover.
  • I really hope there's some crazy rubberbanding repeatable nodes off the main bracket because I don't think I'll be able to get to 45k without it. icon_razz.gif
    Just got to 35k. 10k in 3 days with community scaling going up is going to be hard.

    The nodes will refresh but that takes time.
    For me the PvE Guide was helpful: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5304
  • Captain America took 5K in match 3 damage against the level 325 HT + 2 Pyros in my last win. Getting hit by 1K match 4 is just pretty insane, and I actually lucked out a twice when they did a match 5 and spend the next turn matching 3 enviornmental tiles instead for at least another 1K with the crit tile. Having tanky characters is really helpful. BP is next up to die!

    Ugh, this last set of clears made the levels go up by 20, for what was basically trading water

    I'm glad SOMEONE picked up on that, geez
  • I threw out my tank team of 97 Hulk, 110 Punisher, and 101 Psylocke against level 345 HT + 2 Pyros, and came away 1 turn from winning (Flamethrower went off and killing the whole team instantly, next turn would've ended with a Retribution on the last Pyro). I swear, the game knows when you're trying to lose on purpose...

    Yeah, I accidentally won that twice while trying to tank too. First time was with IM40/cap/hood, which to be fair is actually a really good combo for this kind of event. But this 2nd time was lazy thor/laken/spidey. I was down to the last pyro before I remembered I was trying to lose, but killed him with match damage (on an off color!) the last turn before his countdown would have killed me

    Idk never had issue with this, also over 1K is huge different..., ppl playing when have time, this is really weird, devs should change this!! Its sad :/ In previously tournaments if i obtain all for 1 point i was in top 3 all the times, now im really confused..and if this will be continue thn i never obtain top places in this kind of tournament.. Devs please change it, ppl have their personal life, also change start and end time tournamens.. Game is worldwide, and here in UK tournament ending 5am or 5pm.. Horrible time (sleeping or 80% ppl coming back from work) will be fair if going every tourney +1hour...

    This rubberland-less sub is actually less time dependent, sicne it doesn't care if you do your clear 12 hours before, or 12 minutes
  • So why i cleared all missions and have more thn 1K less thn top players?? Idk :/
