    No, PvP MMR doesn't influence PvE in any way.
    mischiefmaker, have you ever had uncomfortable scaling before? Recently? It's probably piling up, then stuck at a peak if you keep grinding a la Phantron then the game takes pity on you and it resets. If you don't grind this event, it might lower by the next one. My previous Sim nodes opened at 180 (normal) and 220 (hard) as far as I remember. I still played, but tried to minimize the amount of matches and haven't even touched the last refresh nor essential nodes in the last Sub. Next event, adequate scaling.

    Original Post updated with buffed characters and rewards; let me know if you see any errors...
  • My highest nodes in Prodigal Sun were getting up into the 150+ range.

    Unlock nodes for Simulator:
    Easy: 43/43/43
    Hard: 48/49/49

    My Black Panther is at 2/2/1, so all of these rewards are nice for me.

    I wonder if scaling includes whether people are using boosts or not. There's not to be more factors than Spidey/Mag that we're not accounting for.

    Im just wondering why its top 75 get a black panther and 76 on get 2* storm. Didnt it used to be top 100 got a 3* since thats 10% in other events?
  • im glad i dont need BP covers. ill be taking this one nice and easy...1clear per refresh for the sake of my alliance, but NO grinding.

    nice relaxing weekend ahead

    My entry nodes are 92/96, think i might have royally messed up my scaling from last event...

    I think they want you to write a guide on how to cope with high level opponents. icon_e_smile.gif

    Gah. 121/128 for my unlocks, even though my highest levels from Thunderbolt Mountain were in the mid-160s. I think this might be the first time I've ever had higher scaling than Phantron. icon_razz.gif
    Higher than Phantron?

    Does anyone know the movie this scene belongs to?

    Oh, I almost forgot. In Prodigal Son my highest levels were 216, but I didn't play much in the last sub to avoid sending them even higher. Entry levels for Sim are 47/53

    I want to say Hunchback of Notre Dame, but I could very well be 160% wrong.

    Also, since this is an event discussion: MMR, levels, refresh, rubberbanding, Iso, numbers.

    Is there a giant pot of ISO again at the end of the node1-4 road?

    1000 in easy, 2000 in hard.
  • Any word yet on the rubberbanding or lack thereof? I kinda liked Prodigal Sun cause there was a bit more flexibility in when we could clear as long as the quantity was still there. Old rubberbanding system was so much more convoluded since the point values for all nodes would change after each mission completion. Made it hard to figure out the optimal sequence.

    Look at the base node values I gave at the start of the event and the current node values will tell you all you need to know.

    When I first joined the simulator I was faced in even normal mode with crazy high levels, like 160s right from the get-go. I pretty much gave up on the event. After seeing this thread I went back in to get the numbers and add to the collection, but they've been cut by like 66%. They're all very reasonable looking now..?
  • When do the subs end? I don't have time to join and play them now so I just need to know what I am dealing with.

    My levels are the same as before.
  • Don't care if I die to it a million times, I absolutely love that they did a 3xWidow node.

    Rubberbanding seems EXTREMELY strong - I haven't started yet and now (after only ~6 hours) the point values are as follows (normal bracket):
    Sim 1 - 247
    Sim 5 - 247
    Sim 8 - 741
    Sim 9 - 741
    Sim 10 - 741

    So, from experience, does anyone think 150k is achievable in the time we have?
