Am I wrong or was there supposed to be a lightning round?

  • Seriously. This is no kind of anniversary week without LRs.

    Fire them up!

    I don't have it either. Didn't they start the first one or two runs of the hero lightning rounds on the 'off' hour (villians on odd starts, heroes on evens - if that suits your timezone)?

    I am going to check back at the top of every hour till I see one open. Hopefully we get the full 48 hours (24 rounds) worth regardless of when they start.

    They better not have done away with LR's.

    It's been my favorite part of this game for months now.
    The Gauntlet format PvE being a close runner up.

    I think they've been delayed a bit in the past. I definitely hope they are not cancelled - I was really looking forward to double the ISO on those. I really need it, actually, since I had to level MoStorm for Venom Heroic.
  • Fine, I'm moving on to Borderlands - The Pre-Sequel. You forced my hand on this.

    It's a pretty weak game sorry to say.
    Borderlands 2 was really just Borderlands 1.5
    Borderlands - The Pre-Sequel is just like Borderlands 1.75

    The franchise is as stale as it gets completely lacking anything fresh.
    This is perfect if you just want another 50 hours of the same game you've played twice before though.

    Hopefully you get something out of it.

    I was really looking forward to double iso from LR's. That's almost 10k per event.
  • It would be a very bad move to not have LR.

    Hey! Its anniversary, so here double ISO.
    Oh wait no LR.
    So really: less ISO altogether (or around the same amount - no Shield Training, only 1 PVP at a time).

    Please tell me this is not what is happening.
  • I keep looking for Hi-Fi on here this week. I keep forgetting he was at comic con so worked 7 days last week. Not sure when he'll be back. Unfortunately, I think we're at the mercy of waiting for a Lakestone announcement (if that ever comes). Hopefully, they'll be up next hour. *crosses fingers*

    Definitely less ISO altogether. Also, quite a lot less fun.

    Was the 4* Thor LR thing supposed to be this week or next? Maybe they're taking it down partially for that?

    Admittedly, the Tiny Tina AD&D DLC was hilarious.

    But yeah, I thought I read that the Thor LRs would be done later in the week, but now I can't find that post. So maybe I imagined it.

    'Thor: Goddess of Thunder will be first available as a Season VII reward, and all players can test her powers in battle starting on October 17' Maybe I missed something in the thread but I don't see where this says LRs

    Thanks, so we might have to wait until then for LRs, if thats the case I'm disappointed, LRs are one of my main sources of Iso and was looking forward to getting double the Iso, as it is now we're getting none at all
  • Just...want... iso8.pngiso8.pngicon_neutral.gif
  • Personally, I miss the in-game pop up detailing the events of the week with dates and type of LR. I will say this if LR's pop up later and have new characters in them, I will not be upset (unless Sentry is one of them).

    But going to work and comic-con last week isn't stopping anyone else from checking into the board 47 times a day...
