    The Psylocke reward is blue, not black (because we can't have nice things).

    Grah! I have a Psylocke sitting at 12 covers with a 3/5/4. Anything other than blue! Really!

    Ah well, I'm sure she'll come up in the PVP at some point.

    Yet again, we have the top 10/top 20/top 150 thresholds for the individual covers. This sucks icon_evil.gif

    Mine is 1/3/4, I feel your pain. At least this'll get her up to nine covers and marginal usability.

    I applaud your effort, but you forgot to make up funny names for everyone.

    There are 3 subs (or at least there were last time) so it's not as grindy.

    Hmmm. I can raise Psylocke from level 91 into the low 100s, buffing the highest-boosted character in the event, and run her with maxed Thor and OBW, or I can bring Hawkeye up from level 41 unboosted, making a Psylocke-Thor-Hawkeye team that's lower level but rains Speed Shot death on things after a Thunder Strike. Not enough ISO to do both, sadly.

    Decisions, decisions...

    Heh, no one really wants to see me to try and be funny... icon_e_smile.gif

    I'm still trying to figure out why 60,000 points gives you 1000 ISO-8 and 100,000 gives you 500 ISO-8. Have ISO-8 awards ever decreased before in progression awards?

    They have in the last few PvEs other than Gauntlet, IIRC. It seems like they tend to "peak" and then level drop back down. three or four tiers below the final 3* cover.

    I added the format to the main post. Last time there were 2 subs, 48 hours each, and then main nodes opened up after the sub-events end.

    Are you sure that was for Heroic DA and not Heroic Oscorp they were similar just different number of subs. 3 48 hrs subs makes more sense with 12 hrs of nodes on the main (with meaningless rb) in fact I'm almost positive that's what happens.

    EDIT: Based on this thread from last time yep 3 subs.

    I kind of find it stupid that we are given a limited roster of 8 characters but they chose 2 versions of Iron Man to limit our options further.

    Ditto on wishing we'd get a different Psylocke cover.

    Well, yippe kay yee. I just sold my Hawkeye off few days ago for some HP. Serves me right, I should have known devs would make him essential character in the next Heroic pve... well, my brand new lvl15 0/0/2 Clint will do his best I suppose. icon_e_sad.gif

    I guess I finally have to pump up my Psylocke also. She's been lvl100 for ages and I just got her the 5/3/5 respec thanks to Gauntlet and that black Psy cover.

    This is one of the biggest **** tourneys I've ever seen.

    Six and a half day slug-fest for new character, no alliance rewards for nodes. Stupid change to same cover reward for personal/alliance unless you top 20 *cough pay cough*.

    Heroic - only eight characters are even usable! Except two of them are 1*'s - I have them maxed, but they are basically worthless in this tourney (I tried them in the easy path and wiped them quickly) have fun using your six characters. We get it D3, you want to sell health packs.

    "Coolers" - third essential node was first thing I opened. Hello there, 92 Sentry/92 Juggy, really looking forward to your scaling.

    Better than "The Three Amigos" - day one of this tourney and 127+ Daken/Venom/Juggy. Let's see, I can take up against them....not as good 134's. Grand.
