It is our understanding that final Progressions, in an event with wave nodes, should be able to be reached with 4x clears of normal nodes and 2x clears of wave nodes.
It seems in the current incarnation that the points were calculated on 4x clears of wave nodes as well. As such many of us will miss max progression, including myself. Please see threads:
Many of us who slogged through this long event are very disappointed to find out we’ll miss the 15cp while doing what we thought we needed to to hit it.
Please consider something to make up for this loss, or clarify your intent on wave nodes vs progression.

Here is an image of my scoring spreadsheet up to the current sub. As you can see I have done more than just the required “full point clears” (4 for normal nodes, 2 for waves) and still need 47638 points for progression. I don’t think the last sub will provide that.
According to all this, I will still be more than 23K away from progression even though I have done what the devs said was required. Please let us know what is going on.
Heh, I was happy to finally have a decently-covered 4* so I wouldn’t have to two-man his essential nodes, as well as the other two essentials… I religiously did my 4 clears or more than that in every sub… still 40k away from max progression as I start the last sub.
I have been 6x and even 7x on a few nodes this entire event and I BARELY scraped into progression at the end of my grind of day 7 this morning. I was wondering what was going on because I was thinking that I’m usually well past progression and just grinding out my alliance goal by this point.
In each sub so far I have done 4 clears of wach non-wave node, 2 clears of each wave node, with 2 extra clears of each node for the 48 hr sub. The current sub (sub 5, expires at 10 pm central), I have also done this with the exception of two nodes: ‘human torch’ and ‘rescue & revenge’ (which has 1 clear). This leaves 7 node clears, and all of sub 6 starting at 10pm tonight in order to hit maximum progression.
My current point total for the event is 80,556. This leaves me 57,444 points short of maximum progression.
Please adjust/fix, or (more likely) compensate for this error or lack of communication on a change to the general event pacing.
Same here, I’ve cleared each non wave node 4 times at least & each wave node at least 3 times for the substantial point value, yet I’m still over 20,000 points shy of the final progression rewards. Seems like a miscalculation in the value/quantity of the wave nodes.
I play as optimally as I can, grinding nodes to 1 point. So usually, I hit progression, no matter what. Not hitting progression until I’m halfway through my initial clears of the last day of a tedious 7-day event is rough. But I hit it. However, there are plenty of people in my family of alliances who aren’t going to hit progression (who historically do) because when asked what they needed to do to this event we repeated the “4 clears to progression” line. Are we going to get any sort of statement about this? Any offer of compensation?
FTR, I have the 3 Essentials, so gained points from the 4* (Cyclops) node.
I green checked 42 of the first 46 nodes, missing 1 clear each in yesterday’s sub (Hand Fortress).
With full clears on 51 nodes, including today’s, and green checks on 42 of those, I’m at 134,600 points. That’s 3,400 short of the max progression. Sure, I’ll make it with room to spare but that’s because I green checked almost everything.
The party line is full clears = max progression, green checks = placement. Some clarification if it was intentional that you needed more than 4 clears to get max would be nice, as would knowing whether this is going to be normal going forward. Venom Bomb had the same sort of close progression issue but it’s Venom Bomb, which has always been more difficult.
Either way, not a fan. I played for placement this time but I’d have been really disappointed if I’d played for progression only to discover now that it wouldn’t be possible.
Same thing happened to me, but it seems like the points for rolled back at some point. I earned the last recruit token during the 6th day sub, but when the 7th day started, I was back below earning the last recruit token.
I’ve fully cleared 4 nodes per sub and done the others at least 4 times and I’m still 10k short of progression after final sub. Something is terribly wrong!
Also just finished my 4x clear of the final day and I’m sitting 12k short of the 138k progression… talk about a wasted efforts trying to reach that final CP
this sucks. we put in the effort the devs stated would get us the reward - over a SEVEN DAY PERIOD no less - and we don’t get anywhere close to max progression.
i thought i had done something wrong, but it appears it was the devs.
Yes, I have done all normal node clears at least 4 times and several “easy” nodes the full 6. I have done all wave node clears at least twice, with several of them three times and I am at the end of the fortress sub and still 50,000 points short of progression!!! I don’t remember there being that much points in the last sub, I know there are a lot but not that many! It appears impossible to hit progression…will there be compensation for this apparent mistake or will you adjust the points/progression before event ends to fix this?
I am not really a big fan of seven day events but I play every day for the ISO and tokens. Did the required 4 clears and then some on a couple of days and still 18,000 points short of max progression. Definitely a miscalculation somewhere along the line.
I saw the target was too high (unless clearing waves 4 times). So I tried to extra grind the last two subs to compensate. Many greens. Still missed it by…437 points. My fault for having a life and responsibilities, I guess. That was .32%, if FYI. Also my first missed max prog since CP were put into rewards.
