    @MPQBlaine I hope the Deadpool Vs MPQ pve has a few more cover swapped chars or zombies in it, we lost a bit of progress the last days, doable but not quite on track atm

    Irks, 2x 48h event.
    But on the other side there will be more time to hit MPQ vs. Zombies.
    Unfortunately that 12 Zombie wave node appears not until Sunday

    Good effort everyone, but it's a wrap. We aren't hitting 200 mil.

    Huh? We've still got another week and we've been getting about 50 million per week. As MPQ Blaine said, we're right on track to make it.

    Odds aren't in our favor. Deadpool v mpq combined with no mpq v zombie nodes to grind, at least none with any zombies in it. Players fed up with the same boost list on repeat(I love the list btw). Trust me, I hope I'm wrong but it looks like disappointment again.

    What is the point of coming to forum and saying this? To encourage players to play less?

    Whoever decided to run the worst pve possible did that for us.

    While 2 48s are not great in terms of maximum grinding, let's look at the nodes for cover-swapped (points).

    Sub 1
    Rematch: no swapped
    Grrr: 2 Wolv is swapped
    Can he swing: 3 Spider is swapped
    Logan's Heroes: 4 Wolv is swapped
    No-Funisher: 2 swapped, 3 DD and 4 Thing
    Stars and Stripes: no swapped
    Last and the Furious: 4 Prof is swapped
    2E: 3 Scarlet is swapped
    3E: 3 BP is swapped
    4E: No swapped
    5E: No swapped
    Challenge Node: No swapped
    Sub 1 One-offs:
    Brief Intermission: IW is swapped
    Iron and Whine: 2 Cap, 3 Thor and 1 IM are swapped
    Merry Mutant: No swapped

    Sub 2
    HAMMER: No swapped
    Therapy: 1 Venom is swapped
    Maggia: No swapped
    Cabal: Hood is swapped
    Mythtery: 3 Loki is swapped
    It hurts: No swapped
    Evil Geniuses: No swapped
    Mountains of iso: 2 Daken is swapped
    Iso 8?: 3 Deadpool is swapped
    2E: 3 Magneto is swapped
    3E: No swapped
    4E: No swapped
    5E: No swapped
    Super Duper: Worthy Cap is swapped

    While there could certainly be more swapped cover characters to fight and give us points, there are a decent number of them in the event.

    Everyone should keep going. Maybe grind some of the zombie nodes a bit when you are in the middle of a 48 hour node and have some extra time.

    @MPQBlaine @S0kun @Scofie

    You guys see any chance the devs give us until 00:01 am on November 1st? After all that’s when the spooky time really ends with the saint rising from their eternal rest to kick evil spirit butt!

    I like the cut of your jib. Seconded!

    Not my call but @MPQBlaine has form for shenanigans when it comes to community events...

    We're at almost 160 million now. We've gained about 10 million points since I last checked yesterday. If we can keep up this pace of 10 million points per day we should hit the final tier. Keep grinding.

    It's at 158.8 right now. We have today plus 5 more days per the challenge rules (through the 30th). 41.2 million...approx 5.25 days left - depends on the cutoff - is 7.8 million per day including 1/4 of today.

    It's a bit higher than some days, less than others. It's certainly not out of reach.

    Keep on, keep on grindin'.....

    Latest node has a bunch of low level zombies. Grind on! 🤘

    I really hope a bunch of people grind over the next few days or we will miss the final tier by like half a day of what we have been earning, point wise.

    I think it’s safe to assume most of the points have come from players who aren’t focused on it playing pve cover swapped boded and the zombie event and against cover swapped teams in pvp.

    And the last week of the challenge, they gave us DPvMPQ with 2 48s (less grinding than any other event) and next HAThieves which has all of 3 nodes with cover swapped toons- 2 being challenge nodes that only SCL 10 players even see.

    Thanks for “helping” us get this over the line.

    Once again the challenge success is 90% the design of it and what we are given to engage with and 10% the most highly engaged players trying hard.

    I'll do some more grinding. I want that Space Stone!

    Not sure if anyone mentioned this or not. The Hunter (neither 3 nor 5) does not have the Midnight Sons (how it's spelled in-game) Affiliation assigned to them. I had planned to use her, but instead am using Morbius as I fear using her would not count towards the goal given that she does not have the Affiliation.
