I realize I'll screw myself for the main node progression rewards, but I'll probably be able to get the placement awards based on other people who entered at the same time, right?

This isn't a weekend event, it's 7 days. Ends next Thursday at midnight.

Take away my roster, only let me use the tinykitty characters (oh yea, 2 of them I haven't even bothered to recruit,) so once it gets hard, I am dead in two nodes and have to wait for the same characters to heal??? How the hell does this promote a diverse playing roster?

So if you are one of those like me who got rogered with no vaseline at the end of Jugs due to the "true healing" and didn't get her, you are screwed! Man these devs are genius.

How the hell does this promote a diverse playing roster? In what version of reality are Punisher, OBW, AWolv, and MStorm "the tinykitty characters"?! Also, recruiting those two characters would diversify your roster. That's pretty much how diversification works. Punisher and AWolv are the only useful ones. OBW is useless now and once the nodes move up a notch MStorm will get blown out of the water in a couple of moves. And in who's world would it be worth it to spend HP to open up slots and spend ISO to level up Bagman and Hawkeye?? Oh I know the devs...This is not diversification, this is being forced to play with a set of characters that they decide on.

It's pretty much always been like this. The point distributions have actually gotten better. The last Hulk PVE (just after alliances were first introduced) featured BP-required Essential nodes that were so valuable that I maintained global individual top 200 in the last three days of that event by only doing the two-ish BP-required nodes in every 10-node sub.

It could also be costly or a challenge to keep Punisher and Daredevil healthy for both events unless using the donor heroes in pvp.

There's no reason why you'd use Daredevil unless you happen to have him sitting at level 141 for some reason. Punisher only tanks black if you have OBW and Wolverine on the team, which is the team that makes the most sense to use in this event.
