    Invisible Woman and Quicksilver rewards, with Gwen an essential.

    I'll be skipping this one.

    Well the 25CP are now 13000 points easier to get, so at least they listened to that... Still, this event was weird in that 1st and 2nd subs were really fun and promising then the 3rd sub was utter hell. (pardon the pun)

    I missed the first sub last time this ran, so I'm happened to have a chance to enjoy this story.

    They didn't.

    New char release PVEs always have higher max progression, non-new releases lower.

    Really? I didn't know that. I thought the only change was placement rewards.

    What an odd thing to implement... It's not like there are any more points available if more people are playing...

    I missed most of the story last time, going for GR. Habitually hit skip during my first clear, so I have to slow play the 2nd clear, so I can read the story.

    I try to read the new story events (there's actual funny jokes in Amadeus Goes to Hell and Venom Bomb!) but even then I frequently skip through them out of habit before I realize it, especially on that first clear before I go to work.

    isnt this the pve where STAGE 3 does not move up in pts

    its like a 40% jump from stage 1 to 2 but then stage 3 is flat with stage 2

    So three clears of each sub gives you about 50,000 points. The final progression is at 54,000 points. Sounds doable.

    wonder if 4 clears of each not full will make it. think i posted 60k last time.

    need what 50k still seems high

    guessing hoping for around
    10k round 1
    20 to 25k round 2
    and hopefully cost 15k round 3 but remember how hard that stage 3 is so tempted to just skip)

    all playing for is some ISO and 25 cp BLAH

    I cleared 14,980 from the first sub, but boy, this 2nd sub seems harder than the first time they ran it. I don't remember this event getting really tough until the 3rd sub (Hello, Ghost Rider with Penance Stare waiting at the end of a survival node), but this 2nd sub is going to be very tough on the 2nd or 3rd clear. Of course this time I've got 4 stars built up to be usable (and 5*'s on the bench) so that's probably part of my scaling.

    Can we get something for playing wave missions multiple times? Seems unfair to have 7 rewards on most missions and wave missions only giving rewards on the first play-through.

    They are having a laugh with that day 3 Spider-Gwen node, your two usable characters plus under-covered dead weight get to face off against Prof X, 4clops and iceman. icon_rolleyes.gif

    The older PvE events always seem to have a harder 3* node than the 4* one, that was probably as when they were designed 4*s weren't as prevalent as they are now. That design certainly didn't carry on with the new events.
