No Mystique PvP? Conspiracy Theories anyone?

Since I know we all love our conspiracy theories, is no Mystique event, because with her buffed does purple become the strongest team color?

If so, Iron-X-Myst has come to town?

    It's possible there's a server issue starting the new event. It's been a while but that has happened before. But due to the timing I'm betting it has something to do with the upcoming MCU related event. (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28066) Maybe a new PvP format? (unlikely) More likely just holding back to release in sync with other Marvel game releases?

    Most likely reason, they all left for Chicago and forgot to fire off the event(s). Due to the random times event previews show up it's easy to conclude they are manually launched not timed on a schedule

    The silence from the Demiurge forum posters in the last week is quite deafening ...

    She is featured in lightning rounds weekly. Multiple times.

    Mystique event is there, it's just morphed into a lighting round. Mystique is sneaky that way.

    Mystique's a shapeshifter. She could already have had her PVP. You just didn't know it was her. She's sneaky that way

    Looks like you called it. I'm disappointed it wasn't because of something more exciting.

    Now that it's up, we can shelve the conspiracy theories... so let me ask, if I'm using IF, do I really want to SS all the purple off the board?

    I was thinking the X was for Prof X. Maybe I was wrong.

    They really want to make sure we all have Cap for this Ultron event.

    Ahhh... The OP had me scratching my head too. That actually makes a lot of sense. Too bad I'm missing both icon_professorx.png and icon_ironfist.png. icon_cry.gif

    Yeah, my bad. After X-Force's readjustment, I don't think about him much.

    Prof X, level 5 Master Plan, Boosted Mystique should return purple on Match 5s, with Iron Fist generating from 5 purple.

    Along with Infiltration, I think there is a nasty combo there. But, since I can't test it, I could be wrong.

    The problem w/ a mystique/if/prof combo is that if this ends up being your defense, then an opposing player can simply collect pinks & bks to set up surgical strike, doom bombs, or whale.

    I think the game is 1000X more fun if you never think about defense. I know it matters at some point, but damn, I'd run that combo (if I could icon_cry.gificon_cry.gif ).

    To quote Thurl Ravenscroft --- "They'rrrrrrre GREAT!"

    A major difference between this event and the last event.
    In Blue Shift -- After clearing seed teams, all opponents were lvl 270 monster teams. All of them. Skips gave nothing but maxed 4* teams, most for paltry points.
    In Identity Theft -- After clearing seed teams, fairly normal ranges of 2*, 3*, 4* with various leveling. Most for paltry points, none for 25+ points.

    Fair matches, so not using boosts. Almost got completely wiped by a level 100 2* Ares-Storm-Mystique team after a silly cascade.

    With boosts, it's easy to spam black with both purpletile.png and bluetile.png , Mystique spams purpletile.png , and her blacktile.png does a lot of damage.

    Just noticed for some reason after selecting slice, I had no seed teams - not even the first typical three.

    So obviously, the PVP conspiracy is to "sell more healthpacks"! icon_lol.gif
