He might be farming iso from the nodes, and also aiming at the HP rewards from finishing in the top placements for each sub. There's more to aim at besides the covers after all

But, you get to face Wolverine/Gorgon, so there's that. cyineedsn wrote: Splarne wrote: MrGaunt25 wrote: I have a different experience - I feel like the bracket I'm in is pretty grindy.

There's more to aim at besides the covers after all MrGaunt25 can't be in my bracket, b/c I was at 123k at 9:15 am EST. The extra token at t2 is nice, but I'm mainly doing it for the HP and the purple Prof X. I will also be able to use the Cyclops covers for my dupe Cyclops, who is 2/5/2. My main is 5/3/5, so going for 3/5/5, which he will be after this PVE and the next round of DDQ. I would mention the premium awards I have access to, but that would require me acknowledging the secret vault exists
MrGaunt25 wrote: That's some impressive work, Luke. Glad I'm not in your bracket. I was just hoping we'd get a bit of a rest w/ this being a 3* reward (albeit a great character) due to end of season and it not being a 4*. I'm finding that I am grinding this one as much as I did for XPool and Jean. I did go w/o a Fury for the first sub, but luckily pulled one from a token. Also, the Wolvie, Gorgon, ninja node in Hell's Kitchen was (is) brutal for me. Been using 2* Torch, OBW, and MMags, but might have to consider some other combination. And, I'm done with this game if I'm ever finding myself grinding for 20 ISO.

I'm at #32 with 78k pts as of Monday at 9:15am EST. Top guy is already at 108k. Did you join late? Nope right at the begining. My cyke is 533 so I need 2 black covers which means that I'll need to merc for the ally reward. So can't join late if I want an alliance to accept me. I'm in slice 3, during Hell's kitchen sub (about 14h left). I'm ranked 7 with 105k, 1st has 121k and 10th 99k. Previous sub all what I did was grind the 3 survival nodes and I stop 1h before the end of sub with 500points left on the easiest one, about 700 on the essential and 1000 on the hardest. It was enough to finish sub at 9th and overall at 6th I think. So for top 10 I consider that very little grind. But I won't complain. I'm happy with the extra hp and iso which are both much needed.

Top scores are just a little past what you've quoted (obviously as some time has passed). Seriously, you call that an easy bracket?! I was very close to optimal clears for first 48 hour sub with a bit of a grind-down at the end as well and was only around 40th. That's not the sort of return I need to see if I'm going to give that commitment for a week so I've dropped to semi-casual play (around 2 clears a sub) and now struggling just to get the T300 sub tokens. Maybe I've been lucky up until now, but I was kind of hoping the survival nodes would put people outside the top 150 off of doing 2 clears a day!
Griv74 wrote: Hmm do you see me as top 10 ? Because I'm a bit surprised at what you are saying. I'm not doing optimal clears as one would be at 5am for me and I had no problem finishing subs top 10 or close to it, with little grind (all I did was grind the survival nodes with leaving a couple of hundreds points there). For Hell's kitchen after my 3 full clears, I only played Nick Fury and Black Widow's nodes once and I'm ranked 45 and still 8th in main with 32mins left. So I don't see how you can struggle for T300 if you are doing nearly optimal clears

I can make up the amount of points I would score in this by grinding a survival node to zero next sub. Really odd how this sub's points are so out of whack.

Maybe it's deliberately designed as a rest day by the devs? Next time EotS rolls around would be really helpful if whoever posts the thread reminds everyone that day 5: Hell's Kitchen is basically a rest day! Would be nice to plan ahead, and if I'd known (read: remembered) there was going to be a rest day half way through I probably wouldn't have given up on top places so early.
