I am of the opinion that the greatest value in these posts is allowing feedback regarding the event, answering questions, and sharing strategies. The rewards lists are nice, but very complicated and probably the aspect that can most easily be dropped while still providing a valuable discussion space.
Thanks in particular this time for the links to previous runs. It’s allowed me to find the diagram of the Florida sub (it’s in the December run). Last time was just after the forum nerf. Dark times.
On some level, I kind of understand why they would do that. It’s supposed to be an unholy mess of a battle, with different groups attacking from like 5 different directions and Tony dashing back and forth to try to fend off both Bullseye and Rags.
But it is also a level in a game, and rage-inducing frustration is just bad game design.
Fun discovery of the event - Elektra’s Shadow Step protects against the damage from your own Thanos’s Courting Death. That combo really knocks somebody’s health down when that triggers.
I must say, as obnoxious as much of this event is, I love the Devil Dino Team-up Node. Probably becomes less fun as scaling gets worse, but right now, it’s still a blast.
Yeah, championing Devil Dinosaur was one of those stupid things I did in this game that I have never regretted. In addition to this event, most nodes are just better with a dinosaur…until scaling makes using him more difficult.
On an unrelated note, are people seeing less serious participation than usual this event? I’m not sure if it’s the new reward system or the fact that it’s The Hunt again, but I’m definitely not on pace to get the full progression yet I might still finish in the Top 200. Usually in the same slice the full progression is only good for Top 300-350 and sometimes not even Top 400…
is it new that the bullseye III node in the savage land require 5 clears to get the timer to start instead of the usual 4 like all the other repeatable nodes?
