    Twice so far today my 1st Quicksilver node did NOT unlock Ultron! Any one have a clue why? This type of glitch better not cost us any covers, or I'll be more grumpy than that one cat!

    I'm having the same problem. Ugh.
    had same problem hope it's a bug and hope it's fixed come hulkbuster

    Might've missed it in the sea of posts for this event, but is the 2nd part of this for Hulkbuster Rewards pretty much the exact same as this and simply starts over on Wednesday? Any noteworthy changes?

    Well, they say Scarlet Witch will be key so I assume she talks the place of Quicksilver but otherwise it sounds like the same thing.

    Thanks! Figure one of the QS essentials will just feature SW instead, probably the top node since that one seems the toughest, lol.

    Sometimes you have to clear two essentials to unlock the boss Ultron node. I haven't been paying attention to see if it is the QS node or is random, but it definitely doesn't unlock with every essential completion

    Is it based on the points for essential nodes? I've noticed there has been some variance on those in previous rounds (some are worth more than others for some reason), but I can't test this myself at the moment because all the doable ones are locked from my last clear. For what it's worth, I haven't run into this problem, yet, but my alliance only has had 7 active players for this event and therefore we're only on the 4th Stage. Maybe it's something for later rounds? It would be strange if there was a rule like that with no explanation whatsoever. Probably a glitch, unfortunately.

    This event has made me grateful that one of my few usable 3*'s is Hulk. He and 2* Thor have been my MVP's on the essential and prime nodes. 2* Cap, IM40 and Kamala Khan are still getting me through the Ultron nodes. It looks like a bomb will one-shot KK starting next round, though, so I may have to rethink later on. I'd probably sub in Cyclops as others have suggested using, but if her purple worked on the Ultron's specials, I'd be half tempted to use Moonstone...but only because my Cyclops is only 2/2/2. Boosting might also become necessary to get Cap going on later rounds, but we shall see...

    So the Ultron sub disappeared after he was killed in Round 8... only 6 out of 20 people got 1 million progression... is this working as intended? Is this supposed to be a race?
  • I can't see the bottom 10 of my guild's progress numbers, fix it D3

    Man people are on Round 8?! Granted I'm in a pretty casual guild, but we're only on Round 4 and while we've got a good amount of participation, only a few of us have very deep rosters. Guess we'll see how far we can get.

    Round 4 will get cleared today for sure, but given the health jumps, I'm guessing we may not get beyond Round 6 icon_e_sad.gif

    Well to be precise we cleared round 8 about 90 minutes ago icon_e_wink.gif

    Can the alliance still fight him and work on the 1M progression once he is dead?

    As of right now, that's a big no.
  • There is no end to that lameness =P I hope to get at least my 2nd QS.

    We're on round 5, will probably finish it, but 6 might be a round too far. A lot of the guys just can't beat a level 250 Ultron. So for the next running I'm going to ask the stronger rosters to sit out rounds 1 and 2, let the weaker guys have a chance to get some rewards.

    Yeah rd 6 will be a struggle for my alliance, I'm kind of carrying them at the minute which is fine but I'm back at work tomorrow so it's prob going to dry up a bit.

    My roster isn't super top-level but I've got enough to take out Ultron till the end, weaker rosters I can see how 250+ would be too much of a slog.

    I think people are also struggling due to having to have Quicksilver...if you didn't pick him up in a tourney you're a bit screwed.

    Tbf I had to go and buy a load of standard covers just to get a Hawkeye, his critical tile power is surprisingly useful though. To think I jettisoned a maxed 2* Hawkeye, careless....

    Can one of the devs confirm that once we kill Ultron in Round 8 the main Ultron sub disappears? Other alliance members cannot gain progression points?

    This is a pretty big deal as it means a number of people in many alliances will be prevented from earning the progression rewards.

    How many alliances have defeated Ultron? Is this your experience as well?
  • Any chance we could get details on Ultron total health by round and points for clearing? Added to the first post would be extra awesome as would details on goon level or Ultron bomb damage. Just curious how to maximize top progression for members of our alliance next go around.

    What would have been pretty cool is if OBW's Anti-Gravity Device actually caused the bombs to go back up, temporarily at least.

    she's not even powered up, pretty sure they didn't factor her at all.

    Then there's the conversation on how exactly an anti-gravity device heals you. But then again, we're talking about Tony Stark...

    But, but, the bombs are falling down, caused by gravity, the only force in the universe that sucks more than Quicksilver.

    And she's got anti-gravity, so it should work.

    It seems like a pretty big deal, until you realize the progression rewards at that level are Quicksilver covers.

    True.
    At that point focus on the weaker roster guys using Whales TU to take out Primes that are tough to get the SW covers for next run.
