    Something just occurred to me, this is Prof Xs introductory event, why is there only ONE useable Xman?

    Do the devs randomly choose heroic rosters like they do covers?

    It's extremely telling when Professor X is fighting besides Storm and...wait for it...Daredevil.

    Like, what the ****?

    Then again, I wouldn't want to tempt D3 to make Beast essential or even powered up or anything.

    Fact(s): the required character for the next PVE is a villain, and the events that normally feature villains have been recently run. It is also probable that the next PVE would be the time to compete for a new character.

    Speculation: the next PVE will be a new event, villain-centric.
    There could be another PvE in-between considering we just got Professor X. I could see Deadpool vs MPQ or The Gauntlet as the next PvE.

    Gauntlet may be a good guess given it will coincide with the end of winfinite. It would be a good test run to ensure their changes break the infinite combo.

    Way too early for a Gauntlet since we just had one few weeks back it seems. Though would not doubt it since we will be in a middle of seasons . then again they ran normal PVES off season.

    I will say this: if they're going to run a heroic, I've got to thank them for making it not a new character release, finally. They' went ridiculously overboard on that for a while.

    This season doesn't end until the 28th or 29th, IIRC.

    However, I agree that it's definitely too soon for Simulator or Deadpool v MPQ. Gauntlet's a possibility unless they do use it to release a new character.

    Don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but just noticed that only 1 out of 3 Essentials in the first sub requires baldy.

    Thank you so much for that!

    2nd sub you need baldy for 2 out of 3 (storm is the 3rd)

    so if you were doing great without baldy sorry but your score is done


    Some reason i thought Sunday was the 29th... guess we have one week left in season so i says Gaunlet is no chance.
    And what is worst then that if the 2 week thing keeps up it should be a all new star again.

    They're too lazy, only characters we get IIRC are hulk during hulk and sentry during sun

    I've got it in the summary post, inside the spoiler tag for the first sub.

    Just to plug this link again: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=18343 to see what PVE's have been run.

    It would be pretty soon to run the Gauntlet agian (about one month since last time) but it's not unprecedented, the first few times were pretty close together.

    And on the current PVE, I just started the second sub and saw that it was 48 hours. That is too much IMO, I can't keep this up for that long, so I guess it's top 150, maybe top 50 for me, just because Rags is the last 3* I don't have currently. And then I'll just have to hope the rewards are in before Rags is up in the Deadpool Daily.

    Edit: And another thing I noticed is that the essentials in the second sub are Prof. X (2 nodes) and Storm (1 node). Still split essentials, but less diversity.

    The "Next PVE" thread indicates the Gauntlet token has updated

    Hoodlum Inc is hilarious. Hood gaining 4 yellow AP per turn means a dead character after 4 turns. Or you can get lucky and the muscle puts down his Threaten tile and you're taking 1400 match damage if you can't get rid of it. Or a nice and easy 2000 damage from a Thug pistol.

    Yeah, I took one look at that Hoodlum Inc. node and was so happy that I don't need the rewards from this (except for Rags blue, which I won't get since I don't have Prof. X). And in spite of the fact that I feel like I'm hardly playing, I'm still ranked 100th in my main bracket. Hopefully the devs will look at their data from this event and realize that it isn't a good thing...

    Hey will chalk it up to players playing Army of one to get cyclops since he is new and not the fact that the community just feels the Rags changes is not very good and it will be easier to get him in PVP.

    I didn't pay attention to when the sub was ending and didn't realize it was about to end, but looking at the next sub it's pretty clear I didn't miss anything.

    I looked at Hoodlum Inc and say 'what the???' and decided to use Thor (2*) + OBW + Blade. Blade got taken out in turn 5 by a Twin Pistols, so I started doing totally random stuff and I somehow won this rather easily. It's like the miracle cascade reversed. I think I had 4 Call the Storms in that game.

    Things seemed to be going well after the Muscle stuck his tiles down.... Then Intimidation.

    Hoodlum inc happened in the last event (or perhaps the one before).
    4/5 time i was guaranteed to lose one person before he went down. The other time was some lucky cascade. This is one not to grind unless needed....

    That and superscaled Bullseye where i do 1 damage after 2 Shields come out.

    If anyone wonders how to score high in events, the answer is to make sure to hit all nodes once every 8 hour refresh. After starting in my slice, I ended up 50+ after the first clear. 8 hours later I hit all nodes again and I'm safely in top 20. Another 8 hours and I made it into top 10. Currently 7th place, although I'm pretty sure I can place higher because the other players above me have grounded out their nodes early. Consistency and completion of all nodes is key.

    However with the ridiculous scaling for Hoodlum Inc and Getaway Plan, and having subpar characters to deal with them, I may have to ditch my plan for these two nodes and just grind them out before they become impossible to do tomorrow...

    for comparison's sake, i'm top 50 doing a clear every refresh but not grinding it down at the end of the sub (didnt have time). nobody seems to be playing this event.

    it probably doesnt help that besides Ragnarok being the top prize the top progression is Mohawk Storm. I'm still in transition mode and I've turned only 3 three star covers into ISO so far... they have all been Mohawk Storm. she is the prize an awful lot isnt she?
