    I notice they took out IM35 and inserted MBW in the IM40 rounds, so you don't face two Iron Man models in the same team this time.

    After fighting my way to the top 20 of the lighting round, I get 1 lighting token and get a Classic Storm, who's maxed out. icon_e_sad.gif

    Huh, same lineup of villians again. I know there isn't many to rotate around with but still....

    Forgot about point change as I approached 250 points off of seed teams, may change up who is worth hitting now.

    Just dropped into a lightning round in between playing rounds of Marvel Future Fight...

    My 7-cover Doom, fully covered/leveled 2* Daken, and 7-cover Patch get taken out by a loaner Doom, a level 50 Daken, and a level 40 2hor. At one point, the opposing player had four critical tiles on the board in the midst of 5-6 cascades...

    Back to Marvel Future Fight it is! icon_lol.gificon_e_wink.gif

    Nice to see the prize structure finally got an overhaul. Now the 8-25 slot is actually as good (especially if you need any of the featured ones) as slots 26-50. And 1-8 got a nice bump as well.

    Yeah, I just did a LR right now, a team got me to 19. I'm like "****, I probably won't lose enough ground to get past 25." I ended at around 21. The rewards pop up 10 minutes after it closed and I got two LR tokens. That was a pleasant surprise!

    Tue-Thur they happen every other hour, but don't run all day on Tue/Thur. So Wednesday there are 12, Tuesday there are 7 (depends on time zone), Thursday there are 5

    And....same lineup of heroes again. Has this event just been forgotten about?

    I only noticed this week, but now all loaner characters seem to be 1/1/1 lvl. 40 (boosted to 60 iirc). Was this also the case last week or is this a new change? Maybe it has been announced somewhere I haven't looked, but this was new for me in any case. It's not a rotation of featured characters which would be welcome at this point, but it's something I guess...

    yep - and now my axwolvie sometimes needs a trip over to the prologue to finish the last couple of seeds I think mainly because of this change. the loaner characters are slightly more damaging - but much more representative of the character at 1/1/1.

    Yeah, got a ton. You have to be in-game when the lightning round starts to ensure getting seed teams though. Even being a minute or two late can be sufficient to not get them.

    I did, but not as many as normal. I didn't enter in the opening seconds as I was in a cyc pvp match at the time. hope the others are more typical seeds up to 200ish.

    edit: question - I haven't been getting near as many ** drops as I used to. anyone else experiencing that?

    They said they dropped the 2* drop rate many weeks ago (and upped the 250 ISO drop rate to compensate). Some weeks it seems I get fewer 2* some weeks it seems they drop even more often though.

    I missed that and don't like that change at all. I'd much rather have the cover that's worth 250 than the 250. that's where I get my essentials that I don't have rostered for pve

    Season XVII - STILL no villain changes. Ah, for the days when the boosted characters in this event rotated.....

    I wonder if Doc Ock might get rotated in... once they give him a boost.
