For a point of reference, I placed top 4, top 100, top 800, top 800, and likely top 800 X 2 and my overall placement is 131st right now. As you can see, it's taking quite a few top 800 placements to undo the first top 4, and my overall placement is certanly quite high. I estimated I was doing about 1.5 out of the 3 full cycles of available missions (1 cycle defined as grinding everything to 0 whenever possible), so it's not exactly trivial work to even finish top 800. So if instead of getting top 800 I got say top 200 in one of the bracket, that means I'd have to grind that much harder in another bracket to even finish top 800. Mind you, you shouldn't tank to the point where you'd miss the red Punisher cover (50K) or top 1500 overall ranking, but as my numbers show, I'm trying to tank and still within top 300 easily, so there's no reason to work extra hard because that only means I've to work even harder later on another sub-bracket. At some point you'll have to grind to make a push for the 50K for the red Punisher cover, but certainly not at where the total point is still less than 2K for the overall leader.

Every time I unlock a sub-event, the first time I beat it is always 4-7 points. And they NEVER refresh for me, 8 or 12 hours. Do you know why this is? By the way, the first Hulk event worked normally for me, with first time beating it 100-200 points with refreshing. But I'm not sure why it's not doing the same for me this time around.

Guess that answers the question of whether I'll be able to do that mission again. On another note, are we going up in points slower this time? Seems to me that we were much further along last time. If so that would give us even less of a chance to cross 50k...
