Are these the only available quests for the whole event? That's not very many...and the difficulty of each is preeetty low. If this wasn't the week of thanksgiving I would be going for sue storm. Alas...turkey day is tomorrow.

I would think the wisest course of action is waiting until later tommorow before entering the tourney. Might be the perfect distraction for the crazy Americans who wait in Black Friday* lines. *now on Thursday

So I already entered. Also I have the day off and I was bored lol. Someone left an Xbox 1 with no games at my house while they fly somewhere so I stare at it every once n a while wondering if I should just drop by best buy and buy something for it lol. Also yea, crazy. Only time I ever "did" black Friday was a HUUUGE mistake. Of course, its worse now as stores are opening 7pm Thursday night now instead of 5-6 am on Friday. So its more like black Thursday night. Dark meat of the thanksgiving holiday.

I remember the first red iso too well to feel this way. Rubber banding solves problems like polkio (where you're dealing with 2 people with no lives instead of 1). Waking up to see someone has grinded 700 points on a 4 point repeatable is demoralising.

soenottelling wrote: Can someone tell.me which 2 are grindable so I can just complete those and save the others for rubberbanding? And on another thread above a mod said that the reset was every day...did he merely mispeak? EDIT: also, are we SURE there is rubberbanding? None of my values have gone up at all other than right after completing mission. So maybe its not rubbberbanding but just updating for the next time? For comparison to others here are some of my values: First fight, after completion, is now worth 27. Bullseye (incomplete) is worth 105. Jugg venom is (completed) 95. All the trivials in the bottom left are worth 30 and are incomplete. Cold combat/Greenland op both incomplete and both worth 60. And so ppl don't give same values due to same bracket...my bracket has "Papatohtori" in first at the moment.

Also, will there be rubber banding like the Heroics Tournament? How many people per bracket? Need more information please! A lot of changes to the inner workings were made this one, like adding 2 repeatable missions, but to get to your exact questions... Missions will change every day. Think of it like the previous event, but running in 1/2 of the time (5 days instead of 10). Regarding the "rubber banding", the algorithms are are continuously being worked on so that both new and old players can enjoy the event. This time around, Unstable Iso-8 is using an entirely different point-rewarding calculation than any previous event. Brackets are limited to 1,000 players.
