How do you think the rest of us that don't finish T10 get motivated for events? 50+CP does it for me. Then I get the 5*s and I finish them. I regularly see you near the top why do you think you deserve it constantly if you don't have a strong enough roster?
nick_chicane said: I'd still do 3-4 day events. 7 day events are so exhausting though! I'd rather just take a week off from the game than grind just for progression rewards.
nick_chicane said: I'm not talking top 10. Over the course of a week, I doubt even top 50 would be achievable without the 5* character. Why would anyone want to grind for a week without any chance of a top 50 finish? I grind because, right now, I know I will likely finish top 20, if I'm very lucky, top 10. I honestly couldn't be bothered to if even top 50 was out of reach for me.

Those kinds of posts always crack me up.My 4s are getting to 370 the same way yours are, one level at a time.Of course every 4* cover matters. Yeah but if you have champed or even high level 5*s, do you still need to slowly level up your 4*s?I'm honestly asking. Buffed 370s are better than level 480 5s, yes.I'm running 350+ 4s in PVP over my 460 5s whenever i have boosted ones for the week.They're crazy.

Freelancer said: The 5* essential could have been so good if it wasn't worth points, something tough to tackle during the downtime from the opening and closing grinds and during PvP shields.Or, if it just straight up replaced the 2* essential in SCL 7/8/9 instead of adding 7 more clears for placement hunters.

Jarvind said: RemoDestroyer said: Might make me a bad person and it might not be good for the game but I'm a little amused at how soft cappers and those who were/are so against the 5* game got hit by cl scaling and now a 5* essential.They thought they were such hot stuff for placing well with no rostered or low level 5*. Now they almost can't compete for placement.It feels like justification for rostering and leveling my 5*s. And now I'm enjoying pve more than ever before. To be fair, CL-based scaling is very recent, and before it became a thing, softcapping was a valid strategy. I hated 5*s and sold them, and of course CL based scaling was released with no warning like two weeks later. If I'd known it was coming i would've toughed it out.

nick_chicane said: Well day 3's 5* node has finished me off. I can beat it 4 times, but after that, their health gets too high for my roster to cope with. Due to that, its going to take me down to SL7 from now on. That makes this 5* node change a really poor move from the devs because my roster is a SCL8 roster, the rest of the nodes I can handle. I'm in this for placement though and not being able to clear the 5* node 6 times will hurt my placement. That takes me down into a CL that I should not be in and will now be taking away rewards from people who should be in that CL.

We do seem to be having completely different experiences for placement in the same CL8. Perhaps we both need to do more testing to see how it impacts because you would easily be T10 on my board as I'm not able to do the 5* node and will still get T20 and can see huge gaps in the scoring.It will take a few events to settle down and people find their place.Just looked my T20 goes from 78 down to 58k, so it's created a much larger split than I ever usually see and the top 5 go:73107730957267072644 and then it really starts creating gaps68623
