    Well. I just tried this event, and I'm already sick of it and honestly considering not bothering with it. Made it several nodes into Manhattan and the board has perfectly positioned Blue and Yellow tiles to make sure I can't stop them when multiple countdown tiles form EVERY turn for Threaten and Tommy Gun. No thanks. And my Dark Avengers are all low leveled except for Ares.

    Juggernaut aint buffed too :<
    However C.mags is usable... and so is Spidey so... abuse while you can ;-P

    I wonder what levels I get this time remembering the ~160-240 that welcomed me in last heroic... I might even check in a second...

    A single token for top 300 with only 1-2 getting 2 tokens is kinda refreshing icon_e_biggrin.gif no point in killing yourself over this ;-P

    When do the nodes refresh? ;D

    BUMP.

    based on new "sharding," if you have performed well, you will be placed in a bracket with vets and refreshes will occur every 8 hrs so you can get the richest experience possible and max playtime; mid-tiers will be sharded into a 12hr refresh cycle that refreshes when most are asleep or at work; and newbies will be sharded into a lowbie bracket where refreshes don't matter as you will get max points and rubberbanding for showing up. I hope that help.

    Yeah, mine's at 34 too.
    So maybe we didn't get scaled into oblivion by grinding Daken, which might just make this bearable.

    1st node AFAIK is same for everyone - it's the later nodes that actually show scaling differences

    First 3 nodes are level 190/210/230. They're all goons, but that seems awfully high levels.

    Didn't they used to hand out more tokens for awards in the past, i.e. now only the top two in each sub get two? I could've sworn it used to be three tokens for those two and then two tokens for those right below them. Are they getting even more stingy, or am I just getting too jaded and imagining things?

    Not that these stupid event tokens ever gave me anything good.

    Because limited roster events generally don't turn out to be very popular.

    190 is for the first node in the sub. The main bracket node is also 34 for me.

    Seems you got the short stick this time... mine first 3 subs are at 61, 51 and 67...

    Mkai... to avoid scaling go out of control I guess I will be joining a sub in around 22 hours and play 2 refreshes... should be enough for top 10 finish

    It is a shame since I was looking forward to the limited roster on the dark side. Now it is just another scale fest we all know and love.

    Bah, as far as the story goes it don't make any sence for the good guys to be in this one other then as opponents to be taken down.

    You are not imagining things.

    RIght now, my Manhattan is:

    Maggia Assault - 73/74/73
    Maggia Assault II - 83/84/83
    Maggia Assault III - 89/90/89

    Daken vs. Bullseye - 62/63/63
    Daken vs. Bullseye II - 81/82/81

    So the only boosted characters I have over those levels are Daken (and he's only 0/1/1, no thanks), and Ares. And 2* Daken should be getting a boost since he's a Dark Avenger.

    I hate... hate hate hate the combo of Muscles and Don. Especially when multiple Threaten and Tommy Gun countdown tiles that I can't get anywhere near them. This and Season 1 ending in a couple days might be leading to the break I wanted to take from the game.

    My first goon node in the sub is level 51, so I guess I'm ok.

    The scaling on this event doens't make much sense to me. For example:

    Hail of Bullets level 55 Punisher, 143 points
    Crossfire level 264 Punisher, 256 points

    Level 77 Sentry

    HP 4860
    32 yellow, 41 red, 37 green

    5 red = 944 damage, 9 reds destroyed, 137 enemy damage, 72 team damage, ends turn
    4 green = 92 enemy damage, 34 team damage, 12 cd tiles --> level 5 adds more cd tiles in further corners
    4 yellow = 779 selfdamage, 289 yellow strike tile --> level 5 reduces damage to 687 and raises strike tile to 355

    pattern for green is
    XooooX
    oXooXo
    ooXXoo
    oXooXo
    XooooX

    cd tiles are triggered one after another
