Cancel the Heroic Juggernaut

  • Its just 3.5 days on the same set of the nodes. The definition of insane must be grinding them 35 times each every 2 hours 24 minutes!
  • Interesting facts:

    This thread has 3 times as many votes as the "Choose your end time" thread, which is arguably the best change the game has ever had.

    The "Here comes Mystique" thread has way more "I hate Heroic" comments than "Let's talk about Mystique" comments.

    No red names in either thread.

    Would you expect anything different from D3? Not a single word from them about the most upvoted thread I can remember.

    Unless I've forgotten one, this thread has now surpassed Nonce's thread on "hard to be positive" for the most up-voted thread ever.

    They did this deliberately, too. Previous runs of Heroic Juggernaut only ran for 2.5 days. So the devs specifically want a heroic PvE to introduce a new character to end one hour before the end of a season. Why they want this setup is something I'd really like an answer to.

    Except BP is the only one that would (should) overlap into PvP. Not many people use Colossus or BWGS in Versus that I've seen.

    Also, not a single stun or ap stealer among the usable roster. icon_ironman.png doesn't count. No way to prevent jugs from smashing our faces in. icon_e_sad.gif

    On the plus side, I thought at least 50/50 it was going to get locked after I put it up, and at least they didn't do that. On the downside, literally everything else.

    So yeah, scratch that.

    Of course, given that my buffed IM35 and Storm are higher than my buffed Colossus, it won't be a problem for me at least. Colossus will spend all his time getting knocked around in the PvP.

    I believe we can all relate at this point.
  • 133 up votes!!! I think that says it all
  • In my opinion, anybody who starts this thing before Sunday, only has themselves to blame for their own misery.

    And based on how Mystique looks, you could remove the words "before Sunday" from that last sentence and it is probably more accurate.

    Just a note that in addition to the roster being horrible in other ways, Ms. Marvel is getting a standard 2* buff before being added to tokens or PvP rewards, meaning unless you had insane luck with Hunt tokens or aren't let in L94 land (not even the transition!) this Heroic roster essentially has two 2* characters.

    Specially considering you can just go back and see how the last Heroic Juggs thread went.

    The last 4 pages is nothing but "I spent hours grinding every day and people passed my score in one hour joining with 12 hours to go!"

    It's really simple. If you think you can't possibly do more than half the nodes because of scaling the last day, then sure, join early, but be aware that you're going to be doing a lot of thumb work to get in the top 25. If you have a maxed BP, you should under no circumstances be joining with more than 20 hours to end.

    There are 429 users on this board with more than 25 Reputation. 134 of them Upvoted this thread. 31.2%. That's not taking into consideration inactive users or users that can't Upvote.

    EDIT; Disclosure: I picked 25 Rep because I was pretty sure that was the thresh hold to Upvote. It was that or 20.

    EDIT2: If the thresh hold is 20, that's 515 users, with 134 of them Upvoting this, so that's still 26% with no consideration to to inactive users or users that cannot Upvote.

    1- Why is he having a teaching moment with a guy he's about to kill and

    2- Why would you waste breath screaming "**** you" when you're a second and a half from dropping to the bottom of a river

    Since I know I have no chance at scoring a new character cover, I started this afternoon.

    I just use PvE for ISO, not for the top prizes.

    I accept my fate, whatever it may be.
  • Silly question - What is our Community Manager for, if we still get such long patches of silence every single time a metaphorical bomb is dropped, raising ire?

    Edit: I mean absolutely no disrespect to David with this question, I am just curious.

    Doesn't rb max out at some point? (and I would assume that point is well before 20 hours prior to the end of the event)
