    That just sucks. Was 1st when the server problems occurred. When I got back in, I was in 3rd and could only get one more fight. Finished 3rd by 50 pts.

    Has anyone noticed that the starting values for the nodes for Round 2 are exactly where they ended after Round 1?

    Yeah, I got screwed out of a top10 placement because of the server instability. In 11th by 6 points, had plenty of time to hit a quick node...and no, rejected by comm link disruption. After getting rocked by the Sentry PvP--I finished out of the top25 for the first time in months; I've almost always hit top10--and now hearing that the PvE methodology has been trashed AGAIN....

    I really hate this Calvinball ****. The fact that NONE of the back-end mechanics are documented in the slightest--much less updated--goes a long way towards proving that jerking us around is the point of the goalposts-on-wheels development style.

    After getting the Punisher Progress Reward, mine's up to 2/2/3 and a natural Lvl 64. Happy to at least be making a little progress on my 3*s.

    My biggest pet peeve is seeing Check Internet Connection. It shouldn't get to me, but it does.

    I just wish it would say "We know, our servers often suck." Or a spin on the old break up line..."It's not You, It's Us."

    Lost 2nd place in the Hard Sub by 2 points thanks to the servers having crazy time. I feel like we literally just talked about how server problems need to get fixed so this stops.

    Yep, painful. I lost a top sub placement too. On the other hand, all I probably lost was another mhawkeye.

    not worth it unless u got a great 3star team already
    its like 150hp for a heroic token

    I disagree. If I enter this and win it's still kinda useless. OK I'd get some iso but I wouldn't get any thing I need from any tokens even if I won. "Red dd, woo! Wait...oh... icon_e_sad.gif "

    I said that back in the "elite" tourney thread...

    Opened my first simulator token... GOLD! ... red dd, woo! Wait...oh... SON OF A!

    I read this post, then got my token from the Hard Sim. It was, in fact, Modern Hawkeye.

    Just checked the stats. Yay! icon_cool.gif

    Combined with boosted OBW it's gonna be fun.

    BTW - what levels did You have in both subs?

    I got 30-40 in normal and 60-110 in hard, so pretty easy.

    Looking for a bit of advice. I have 800 HP right now. I have at least 1 cover of every 3* I want except for Lazy Thor and Spidey. Have I gotten to the point where I should start spending HP on covers for 3* characters?

    It's probably worth keeping a cushion of HP for shielding purposes. Beyond that, it could be worth buying 3* covers only at very particular breakpoints--like blue 5 or yellow 5 for Hood, green 5 for GSBW, yellow 5 for 3* Thor, etc.

    No. Keep those 800 HP for shielding.

    Alright. I guess I'll just keep trying to save up the HP, and just use a bit every now and then for Shielding.

    This. Though for me it was 4th blue for Hood.

    Well my 3 tokens yielded cap, ares, and bagman.

    All these people complaining about missing #1 in their subs.

    And I am just sitting here with my #298 main placement, top 75 and top 100 placement in subs. Got 5 standard tokens. At least no mHawkeye for me (yay?).

    But I only need one single black BP and it's much easier to get it in PvP, so ISO farming all the way.

    I can confirm that for me too, points changed every 5 minutes. It really seems that the refresh is no longer done in one big amount of points every 12 hours, but by a very small amount every 5 minutes. These amount sees to always have a part of rubberbanding, as no matter when I want to play (after a few minutes/hours or after a 15 hours pause), I always had enough points to reach top 1 in every sub. Other people had the same ease, as I usually went down from #1 to #170 after a sleep night.

    What is nice with this new score mechanics is that you can play when you want, depending on your own schedule. Not only every 8/12 hours, but really when you can. And you always can go top 1 (at least I could with about 3/4 clears of the biggest nodes). To my point of view, it is a huge step forward from previous events (not speaking about Sentry event which was very different, without rubberbanding): prople can achieve progression rewards much more easily, even if they can't play near the end of the subs.

    What is not so nice (but it is the same issue as before), is that everybody can do the same, so basically, if you want to be in the first ranks, the only solution is to play during the last 1-2 hours of the sub.

    Conclusion: Sentry event mechanics and this simulator both have improvements to the pve mechanics, but there is still improvements to do.

    So far, I am having fun in this simulator! (barely playing the last two pve events helped a lot, my levels never went above 130 this time, while they were near 300 a few weeks ago).
