i dont play all PvEs , so i dont know if they change this a long time
AP of goons skills are reduced??

I’m not sure how much this will affect anyone other than the highest-scoring people out there, but here’s your friendly warning that the “Luck be a Lady” sub is 48 hrs, not 24hrs.

Now I’m not sure if it’s scaling or an actual change of the nodes but I remember struggling a lot more in Sub 2 with facing Mystique… Now I’m mainly fighting lower level ISO-8 Freaks icon_eek.gif

Finding it much easier to work towards progression icon_e_biggrin.gif
, here’s hoping I get the 25CP unlike the last few events.

Mystique is in the high level nodes in the last sub, you’ll have plenty of time to struggle against her there. icon_e_smile.gif

That’s where I struggled historically. Thanks for the reminder of sub 3…

curls into ball and rocks back and forth in corner

her and doom with blue feeders if I remember right. can’t remember if there are purple feeders.

Can somebody please help a pretty noobish guy. I played down all the nodes but the Thor nod - the first day to the fitth with the one day cd. Today when maxed again once so cd is 24h on all nods. Got 16029 point and only on place 125. What am i doping wrong? Shall i clear all the way down or how do i make it more afficient. Thx for some advice.

Play the easiest node over and over again. It’s only 20 points a pop, but that’s what the ones pulling ahead does.

Wow that sounds crazy. Playing 100 Times is 2000 points IT doesnt make sence. Who has that time?

It takes less than a minute with a high level team. A minute here, a minute there… It adds up.

True that bro.
Thx again

Not having to deal with doom is a nice surprise. 24h is nice to just do and forget tho the end grind is still as it was.

I love the new format. I can play early, set all my timers, then take a big break. The 8 hr stuff feels like a grind compared. Already got the earn out with a day left. That means I can let it go or fight for the top spots. Either way I feel like I won.

Seems to me that some people have a way of cheating as the leader is 10,000 points ahead of me and I’ve been playing most of the time. 20 points each fight that means someone would have had to fight 500 times to get that many points

Do we all get the same points for each fight even if I fight level 200 characters and the other person fights level 300

Same points. And yes the grind is possible.

This format works so much better for me. Even in my alliance there are differing opinions. But no one thinks this game should dictate our lives. I do no like having to play at specific times to earn max point progression. I prefer to play as much as I want when it is good for me. I have performed so much better with the newer formats like Prodigal Son and Meet Rocket and Groot.
