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.

Well, yes I realised why the point gains are low. Just putting it out there and wondering why they designed this PvE with a sub without a survival node.

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 32 mins left? Surely that must be slice 1 then? Unless I'm really misunderstanding what people mean when they talk about slices? I don't think I can see you on the top 10 but if Hell's Kitchen sub has finished for you then we're definitely not in the same time slice. I think you've slightly misunderstood me though, I was doing optimal clears for the first sub and sitting around 40th at the end of that 48 hour one. I'm not doing anything like optimal clears any more, having been hoping for a comfy T20 at the 48 hour mark and semi-given up when falling far short of it. Now sitting on the verge of T150 overall, but there was at least one sub where two full clears was only just enough for T300 and I had do go back and grind a couple of extra nodes to cement the placing, can't remember if it was the Avengers Mansion or X-Mansion sub though.

Geez, that's a lot of points to pile up without Nick Fury. I'm currently at 29,130 with 4 days, 18 hrs left. Can I make it? Do the point awards scale up in the later subs? this events points are bloated, particularly in the later subs in the survival nodes. Trust me when I say you won't need to grind to make it.

Almost every node is wolvie or Gorgon Fed by goons, so I haven't been able to avoid 1-3 adamantium or debilitating slashes per node. Has my scaling increased significantly, is my memory faulty, or has something changed about the event? Also, why do the devs seem to boost Elektra and/or daredevil every time with this event? I get that they are involved in the story, but the hand is arguably the worst possible opponent for those two (relatively few special tiles to steal it destroy, tons of red and black countdown to overwrite traps).

About 5k pts behind 10th place (~160k v. 155k) and could use the Yellow Cyke (current build is 4/2/2), but I just don't see myself grinding for 3hrs tmw at the every end of the event. Have fun playing the Triumph node (6 waves, >3k pts) down to zero... And, I am in the same boat as you, Vhailorx, I feel like this EotS is chewing thru a ton of my health packs, but my roster is better, so it's tough to know if the event is scaled differently. Did we have community scaling last time it ran? How about 10 v. 5 health packs? Regardless, it is a beast of an event - I hope I don't need the character for the next run, so I can just focus on getting ISO, HP, and tokens, and not pushing for t10 or t50.

All i can tell you, is those blacks for Cyc will be major, him as a reward, means he will be buffed for the next event and an essential, which will be for a new 4*.. Buffed Cyc black is a monster can 1 hit just about anything in a PVE outside of high end gauntlet boards. Go for the T10 if you need the covers, he is a MUST
