Wow, I don’t remember it being this hard. Even the normal has some seriously difficult nodes. Health packs taking a beating. I doubt i’ll come close to finishing a hard sub.
Quit trying to make Moonstone happen. It’s not going to happen.
Also, Yellow IM40 progression award? One of the only covers in the game that actually gets worse as you level it up?
Thanks for the week off, D3. I really needed it.
They aren’t kidding when they call it a hard node.. this is insane! Sitting at #12 with only 2 nodes beaten, and those were rough! guessing i am not the only one having problems lol.
Nice work on making an extraordinarily hard event which will be sure to have players commenting on how the game is circling the bowl. I’m nearly at the top of the heap in hard simulator without barely trying. LOL. Fine by me.
If I didn’t know better I’d think the employees there are actually sabotaging the game.
Dear gawd, and I thought the Doom nodes were a pain…
This is an epic slog fest. That said, I NEED a STCA cover, sooo… health packs for all! Woo hoo!
Really, REALLY hoping this is a sign of what’s to come, because my formerly “pick-up-and-play” game is currently an “invest a couple hours in long, LOOONG matches” game.

yea its not a game for a quick poop anymore.
On second thought, after getting my entire boosted (MS, Hulk, & Thor) wiped on an “easy” node in the first sub without downing a single enemy, MPQ will have to be an occasional play game for the time being. lol

This was always my favorite event. Today I logged in at lunch, looked at the first node in the Hard Sim (level 175ish Gorgon/Elektra/XForce), and said F it.
Doesn’t help that Hulk is one of my least favorite characters to use, but there’s really nothing for me to play for in this event.
Bring on the new content.
Glad to hear it’s not just me! 
Taken to the brink by Hood + Black Widow (I took Loki but they matched 4 maybe once all match), and then almost wiped by Invisible Woman on her own - so characters are literally invincible to all attacks while Invisible?! 
it’s the ‘invincible’ joke taken to a whole new level
The person who designs simulator and gauntlet lineups must have made the GOOD characters(AKA not beast/quicksilver/Rag 3.0).
AoE still works.
For the nodes that you can only play once, is it worth it to wait those out until the very end of the sub to max out the points? Or does that not really matter?
Those nodes only have one reward, but they ARE repeatable. The highest scorers will be repeating them every eight hours, despite the pitiful 20 iso payout.
This group of boosted characters is THE WORST.
I looked, saw lv 252s, and said F me…
me = annoyed with this PVE. 
Really hulk bombing me on the hard node 2k iso reward. Luckily the achilles heel to this node is Hood with max 5 blue. So happy i got Hood’s blue cover in DDQ to go against this team.
Any suggestions for PX/SL/Devil Dino? It seems to me that PX will just torture me every time DD uses its insane 3ap purple. No clue what to do. This is when wininfinite would be nice.
As always, too easy, people complain, too hard, people complain..
Yes, this hard node is F*ing ridiculous, only completed 3 out of 6 attempts.. but you know what? It is fun as heck. The one that suprised me, i did just to kill time waiting on heals on my main chars..
Punisher + Kamala + OBW … no way i thought i would win, punisher is 4/4/3 at level 84, kamala is 3/2/4 at level 102. obw is 3/5/5 at 94.. against Sim 05 Elektra, Thoress, Patch.. all level 138
but i owned that sub, and not in a little way.. kept firing off abilities, kamala healed me more than they could damage, along with OBW’s heal.. yah, by the time it was over, they had more “fake” health than real, but still, more fun than i have had in a while using an odd combo of characters.. makes me want to level punisher and kamala… holding out until the iso reduction, but man it was fun.
Oh right! For some reason I had it in my head that was a One and Done node.
Thanks!
For what it’s worth, mine has little to do with the character levels, I’d have had the same reaction if I started with easy sub. It was more the “there’s nothing here for me” element, which is a little sad given how much I usually enjoy the variety Simulator offers.
