Previous post[spoiler]jffdougan Update: Demiurge_Kabir has said in the reddit announcement regarding the death of community scaling that it should be off for this event. I know that the opening fights to unlock the first sub were brutal (2 health packs/fight).

I can’t recall if this has been run since they started revamping the PVE schedule & formatting. I’ll update with sub info & reinforcements as time permits, regardless.[/spoiler]

Previous runs

PVE Heroic: Venom (29 June - 3 July)
Venom Heroic - Oct 13 - 15
Venom Heroic - Aug 29 - Sep 1

2

this list doesn’t make sense to me. OBW is boosted for the week, so how is she a reinforcement for 1? Don’t we get all the weekly boosteds for the entire event? same with 2cap for sub 3. right?

3

I think that’s the list from last time the event ran… Look up a bit.

4

doct oct and moonstone talk about a crap sim or does sim even have ess nods

5

So, I was doing the Iceman Essential, and I brought along Scarlet Witch and Captain America without much thought. Then at one point in the match I found I had a Peacemaker Shield, Arcane Incantation, and Snowman on the board. All 3 are countdown.png
! I didn’t do this on purpose, but it was a bit of a chore having to keep straight which tile was which! icon_lol.gif

6

Anybody else frustrated by the utter lack of purpletile.png
users? There’s icon_iceman.png
icon_blackwidow.png
icon_venom.png
for a grand total of 3/15, not counting reinforcements. Especially with the fact that only slightly more than 10% of players have Iceman, and most people who aren’t beginners or collectors won’t have a Venom means that OBW is essentially the only purple option available, barring reinforcements.

7

Guys can anyone tell do they reintroduce the community scallng? I thought it is gone… But now i didn’t play at all and mobs are getting bigger and bigger…

8

i have a question.

why are we still using 2* characters for essential nodes? i know you don’t want to abandon those characters, but to make 2* torch an essential is goofy. especially since he has a 3* clone. at least have the option of using either for the node.

2* characters with identical 3* are essentially dead weight at this point.

9

To make sure each new roster spot costs 1000 HP. Duh.

10

Personal scaling still exists, and any nodes defeated in the sub affect this. If you look at a later node before you start a sub, and then before you play it, you’ll sometimes find that it has increased in level due to this.

11

thanks to the planners of this thing for providing witch for sub 1. unfortunately with all the loki nodes, she’s just a battery to provide ap to the opponent. much thanks…

12

On the loki nodes, i try to match away her CD tile until i have enough blue for a stun with Cap.. then i can just stun him when it goes off and poof, no mischief. Not 100% effective, but works well enough.

13

I just use one slot for this type of essentials. It is ussually not a problem to get needed 2* character from running PVP. For example i sold my 1/1/1 lvl 15 Ms Marvel and recruited 1 red johnny. After this event is over i would sell him again.

14

Nope. I checked last node 2 hours ago it was 203 lvl. Now after 2 hours doing nothing they are lvl 207.

15

you think that is bad watch in like 3 to 4 months they will drop the 2 and do

5 4 3 and those without the 5s are going to be screwed

16

That will not happen until 5*s are direct rewards. You have probably a year or more before it is even considered.

17

Interesting! I don’t have a concrete explanation for this. Just thinking now, I have noticed that the increases seem like they may be “batched” and processed only periodically. It’s possible playing quickly that nodes don’t scale until a few minutes later? I don’t know.

18

Have any of your predictions ever happened?

19

Someone at d3 messed up. Iron man 3 star is listed in the main event as part of the main heroic but the second sub lists him as a reinforcement. This effectively takes away a three star that would have been there for the second sub.

20

Tall, dark and nasty grindable or is it still available during second sub? I can’t remember.
