After that i try very old combo Spidey + Punisher + MagnetoMN and beat them very easy 2 times. P.S Node 395 lvl

Used to be PVE was a bastion of relatively challenging but still doable play, and away from the horror that is PVP. Now, I don't even get that. MPQ - slowly taking away all you love since 2013!

Lukewin passed me on his last clear, so I'm 3rd now, and Wanneh's (global leader) points are just ridiculous. Please decide which of you will be 2nd, because you guys have been jockeying for it for several days now...

Sumilea wrote: Not worked out what the global score is in this event as I had not need to with the way I am doing the nodes. But a good rule of thumb of late is if your main does not have the bracket leader they be sitting just at the limit of where the rubber band kicks in so add about 11-12K points to your mains leader and you be in the right ballpark. From my bracket that put them on about 106-107K points. If you know a nodes base points you can get a much better estimate but as I said not figured them out for this event.

The Viceroy wrote: My scaling has been awful since the start almost. A new batch of nodes appears, and they are like 280+ level. I've had to ignore the non-goon fights because match damage kills me, and if it's a bad board, I can't get the colors I need. Even when I do win, I'm so damaged at the end it's almost not worth it. I'll probably just barely be able to stay top 50, but with a team of maxed Lazy Cap, Lazy Thor, and Hood, I should be able to do much better. I refuse to use +AP boost for every match. They really need to lower the max levels in PVE. They raised them because of Spiderman/OBW Teal Healing & Patchnato, but now that both of those tricks are gone, they need to bring max levels back down a bit. It's one of those nerfs that feels like "yeah, we know we said we put this in there to address something else entirely, but we don't really feel like taking it out now." That whole "this too will pass" tinykitty. Level 395's are not fun at all to fight. There's too much luck involved in this game to make the margin for error that small with some tinykitty cascade or a dry board on colors you need.

Looks like I'm going to need to go in fully boosted to stand a chance (and probably wipe anyway.) No, its not worth it point wise, but if I don't do it this will be the first PVE node in a long time that I've been unable to beat at least once. Honor is at stake here!
