    Ugh. I don't like this event. Super grindy especially when 2 subs open concurrently.

    Is Cmags buffed for this event? That's not very nice either since they havent given out much of CMags recently and whatever covers i get from tokens seems to be Yellow.

    And is there a spelling error for the title in the game? Or is it intentional? I thought the original phrase was Prodigal Son. Is there a reason it's Sun instead? Not very familiar with the story of Sentry.

    On the plus side... Ummm... We get a week off from new characters after this event! icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Oh holy **** yes, a tired old PVE to introduce the third new character in as many weeks!

    Said absolutely nobody ever.

    Pre-anniversary apathy and hatred of the game format back in force. CBF with anything other than DDQ.

    GG, devs. GG.

    I can't be the only one to wonder about the points available in this because final progression at 14k for a 5.5 day event seems really low IMO. Compared to the previous event where I was only barely able to get all progression rewards this is certainly an improvement presuming they didn't lower the points for the nodes or anything like that. Too bad I don't need the Loki green myself, but it's a vast improvement over MoStorm, and boosted Ares and Daken is fun to play I have to say. Looking forward to trying Ares/Daken/Loki, actives in all colours and three passives should work pretty well, right?

    Trying to stay positive here, I agree that the back-to-back-to-back new character releases are kind of pushing it too far, but I just hope this is a one time thing and not something we are going to have to get used to in the long run.

    If I'm not mistaken aren't there a pair of subevents for the 3rd and 4th?

    Supposed to be according to the guide. There is supposed to be 7 subs in all and it goes 1, 2, 3&4, 5&6, 7

    I strongly suspect that the consecutive releases were designed to wrap the Women of Marvel month, tie into the Daredevil series, and start Avengers: Age of Ultron tie-in stuff so that it's all finished on time.

    There's no way anybody at D3/Demiurge could confirm that, but that's how the evidence points.

    That really just means we can expect more consecutive releases any time Marvel has an event or two coming up.

    I am hoping this rush through the storyline means that new content is coming soon.

    Right, and along with that they'll be giving everyone 5000 HP and 1,000,000 ISO. icon_e_wink.gif

    They really should have addressed roster slots (cheaper or something) or increased hp gains prior to this. Very poor management that just pisses people off and makes them quit. I don't mind spending money on the game, but not if/when they cost $5 just to add a single char to my roster. That costs so mich more than a typival AAA title.

    That would be nice too.
    Here's the thing though: They rarely if ever run consecutive storyline events - it's always interspersed with Heroic Mode, Simulator, Gauntlet etc. Now they have had three storylines in a row, all introducing new characters. I got the feeling from IceIX that they are building up to something, and finishing a storyline cycle would fit nicely into that so they can run another chapter afterwards.
    I could be wrong though. I frequently am.

    At least we won't be fighting overscaled Ares and Juggernaut in this event.

    Because overscaled Thor, Wolverine, Hulk and Falcon being fed purple is so much better... oh and not being able to use XF, LT or GT...
    Remember also about the double goon+HT node - that's fun too!

    Knowing D3 they'll have new characters every event until Age of Ultron stops airing in theaters 9 months later

    I don't believe D3. They'll probably have something u can't skip, like a '4* placement for top 150' tourney

    If by new content u mean characters, you'd be correct, otherwise....
