I posted about this earlier today and it doesn't appear so.

Also, it's at 125k...

Unless they start rubber-banding the tinykitty out of the event, I severely doubt it.

Sitting @ 50k myself...would really like that storm cover @ 125 k

Just wanted to ask. In the past I usually expected a refresh at 8 or 12 hours and I cleared nodes like 3 or four times each and waited. Is there really any difference now - or is it just mental since there's a timer to see?

A couple events back there was a nice discussion on this. I'm not going to go find it so I'm not going to expect you to either. I think Phantron described the difference best, so I'll use basically the same example he used.

If you're going to do a node (or all essentials, full clear, whatever) let's say 3 times per 12 hour refresh, under the old refresh system you would do it 3 times quickly then move on. This gives you 100%+80%+60%, or 240% of base value (not gonna talk about rubberbanding, but suffice to say it's generally better in the new system too). Under the new system the nodes refresh continually at a rate of 100%/12 hours, hence you see people referring to 2:24 refreshes (since it takes 2:24 to get back to 100% from 80%). So now, if you play 3 times, but space them out by at least 2:24, then you get 100%+100%+100%, so a full 300% of base value. So, the generally accepted best way to grind now is to do however many nodes you want to do once each every 2:24, and then do the full grind down to 1 only within the last hour/30 minutes.

Now most people aren't going to actually play this way or they're going to get burnt out pretty easily (not to mention possibly incurring the wrath of the scaling gods), so you're fine playing the same way you did before, just know that you COULD get more points playing a little differently if you really cared to.

I am at 40k points but I am in a lucky bracket because I am in 3rd overall, but something about this event has been bugging me. Then it dawned on me!! Because there are so few nods and most of them are the non match this PVE feels a lot like prologue healing. I compete with Storm or Psy and the I go to a trivial level and heal with OBW. Anyone else feel this way?

Whoops, forgot to play the last round. Oh well.

The nodes will get hard when Dr. Doom and The Hood makes their appearance.

I think the initial nodes are intended to be pretty easy irrespective of scaling. They're saving all the nasty enemy combos for later.

Sooo... they forgot to put the correct ISO reward in the unlocked sub node....

I was wondering about that too. Got a standard token for the unlocked node and was like... uh...

Unknown

I also got the standard token. At least it wasn't the crit boost.

Taganov

Um, was this sub extended? They usually end at 9 pacific, this one shows about 12 more hours...

Nope the subs change their end time half way thought the event. This subs always been 36 Hours.

Unknown

and you wouldn't want it ending at the same time as the pvp... that tends to cause server issues and rage.

So did I. Literally useless.

Same. Sometimes I'll just use 5x of them on random matches since there always seems to be 30 of them in my inventory, and I never really play with C-Mags.

Would be nice if they retroactively give 1000 iso for people who beat that node. A bit silly that they forgot to set the rewards properly for the prize node but still left it unrepeatable.

elusive

Could be they're taking away the free 1000 Iso now. I remember when the Simulator had an end node worth 5k the first time it rolled around, and that got killed pretty quickly; I feel like the game's often an exercise in seeing how much the devs can trim away without losing revenue (i.e. pissing too many players off).

...not that I'm saying this is a case of that - I'm sure it's just a slip-up. Maybe. But hey, I actually got the 500 Iso reward from it.
