    My crazy suggestion? Make the Challenge node start at max level and worth points on the first hit, then take all the points that would have been gained in subsequent hits and divide them up amongst all other nodes. 

    You can get additional rewards from the Challenge node if you choose to hit it more, but if you choose not to, then no harm nor foul to your score. You can attempt these additional rewards whenever you want over the course of the remainder of the sub at your leisure. 

    Basically, make it how it was initially advertised. 😉

    Because right now on sub 3 of Venom Bomb, I'm planning an hour for my grind, and a big reason why is to allow for three hits on this particularly heinous Challenge node. I've seen CL9 folks say they're planning on 25 minute grinds. If I'm a player looking to reduce the real world impact of this game on my time, there's no competing with that.

    This is a much better solution. I hope the devs will consider it.

    Sounds like a positive change.  To clarify - optimal play is now 3 initial clears, followed by 3 clears at the end, correct?

    Am I the only one that understood that it's 3 and 1?

    For progression.  You can grind past the 1 clear for more points if you want.

    Why reduce node rewards from 6 to 4 if it's only one less clear.  Hopefully the ones eliminated are the lesser like ISO and not CP or tokens.  Overall it seems there is too much reduction for one less clear per node.  There's approximately 10 nodes per round so we're out 20 node rewards in addition to the shard reduction.  So if an event is 3 days you lose about 60 node rewards per event.

    I wish the reduction was more than one clear, too.  As far as node rewards, it's easy to combine a bunch of iso ones into one rewards (or two, I guess).  It would really stink if we lose some tokens or CP.

    SCL 9 seems more rewarding if you don't give a **** about the 5* character for the shards in progression.

    The fewer clears needed will be nice. I'm assuming that means those first 3 clears will be worth more points though? It would to have grind more because of having one less clear.

    Is this the same Fight for Wakanda with the heinous hazard tiles that typically only benefit the AI team because they count down at the start of the AI team's turn thus giving them the AP from any cascades? 
    Is this the same Fight for Wakanda that everyone loves to hate, which will see a large number of CL10 players drop down to 9, and CL9 players down to 8, and so on?
    This is the event that you're choosing to field test new changes to CL10?

    Didn't they take the hazard tiles out last time they ran it?

    Yes, the hazard tiles were removed.

    I think he missed out playing the revamped FfW. He's still in 2018.  :D

    I hope this works out. Perhaps just simply adding a couple 5s to the weekly buff list would have helped. Could change the meta in pvp every week as well. Just a thought.

    I'm surprised some are hard up for 50 4* shards and 650 iso-8. The time saved should be about about 15-20mins per day.

    Is saving a total of 45mins to 1 hour for 3 day pve worth the tradeoff of 50 4* shards and 650 iso-8?

    They did mention something about making change that affects the veteran players in the near future in the livestream a few days back. It was not direct but it was one of the possibilities.

    I think 45min to 1 hour time saved for 3 days pve is significant. It could be more or less depending on how many clears and how fast that player can clear.

    The founder of Demiurge has been quite straightforward (2013/2014 interview?) with how they tune the economy, so it shouldn't be a surprise. It's not even a secret. You can google for that 2013/2014 interview split into 7-8 parts. I'm sure someone else can remember it.

    By now, players should be expecting tradeoff with the changes. The next round of tradeoff should be in Anniversary.

    It's more like 10 minutes total. 1 less easy clear.
