Event Format:
Doing node in main place you in a bracket? Yes
Sub-Events? Yes
Length of Sub-Events: 36 hours
Main Nodes after Sub-Events End? No
Other Notes: -In the previous PS, completing the non-essential nodes of the final sub opened a new fight against 3* Thor, 3* Cap and 2* Wolverine with a guaranteed cover as your reward.
-There was heavy rubberbanding by the end of the subs
-Scaling got out of control in the last hours of the subs and people were restricted not by how many times they cleared, but which nodes they were able to do.
-This is the first event with time sharding. Remember to account for the 36 hours when you pick - you don't want to have some nodes end at a easy-to-get-to 6PM and the others at 6AM.

This was almost entirely ripped from http://www.d3pforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=17194&hilit=prodigal+sun this thread, from CrookedKnight. Feel free to correct me if anything isn't accurate and I'll update OP.

Quebbster

Loki will likely be the Essential character since he is the final reward in the Gauntlet. Hopefully his Green is the final progression reward.
Count on villains being boosted as usual - definitely Ares, Bullseye and UC Daken. On the three-star level, maybe Sentry and Doc Ock? Could be Hood and/or Mystique too.

Quebbster

Also, I hope this has the same prize structure as Grocket, with top 50 getting Elektra. 51-150 might get Daredevil or Patch.

Loki will probably be top progression reward but not sure what color. I hope hood is powered up cuz he is my only decently leveled 3star (lvl140). Also, they will probably only give Elektra to top 50, but i hope it stays as is. I barely got thour in grocket and dont want to grind for multiple days for just 1 cover.

You don't want hood boosted. A boosted hood tanks 3 colors. His yellow at 5 probably scales up to be a huge nuke but you have him around to suck up ap, not nuke.

I know I'm probably in the minority, but this is the worst time of year for me to have a week long event going Monday to Monday. I'm going to have to start this either mid-event or at the bitter end, depending on what the progression rewards are, just to have a chance at placing high enough to snag Elektra.

A boosted The Hood almost always gets 5 colors: his 3, purple, and TU. Could be more depending on the rest of your team, though could be less if you have someone who can cover purple, though I'm not sure who that might be.

That would be great, but my hood is 5/2/4 so his passive isnt all tht useful to me. His yellow is most useful (over 4k damage not powered up!) and his black is useful if i pair him with my captain america (lvl132 3/3/5)

I hope we still get a sentry cover, but long events always suck since i have to work....Holiday week coming up and that'll kill my score ><

Crossing fingers that elektra isn't just top 50.

Anyone start yet? How long is the first sub? Is it the same system where if you pick the 12am EST ending, you'll have 12pm EST ending subs?

Updated. I hope you guys brought your grinding finger-guards.

Thanks ark, this looks like another unfun grind...+1 for you for jumping in for our sake.

Might want to add another star to alliance rewards. We know she was supposed to be a 3* but sadly she wasn't .

Unknown

Purple Loki? Final Progression reward?

Unknown

Terrible progression rewards

Wishful thinking I guess. Alliance rewards corrected, thanks for catching that

SWEET! A NEW 4* Daredevil for top 51-150!

Oh, wait, that could be a typo.

Unknown

i dont think i have seen moonstone boosted in forever

also not happy that they changed it so only top 10 get 2 electra covers and not top 20

Anyone else feel like we needed about a month worth of old character PvEs after the three high demand ones that were virtually back to back? I feel like old players could use some light games and newer players could finally get covers for those characters removed for several months.

I think they said this is their "just one more".

On a side note boosted Ares is fun as hell to play

Couple things I noticed
1: all nodes trivial
2: node reset time, 3 hours
