Alliance goal is just to beat Ultron and his minions down until all nodes unlocked, we win tokens, maybe HP/ISO, covers at the end and profit?

puppychow wrote: re: event. Okay, from my reading of the announcement there is one BIG mission node against Ultron that refreshes every 8 hours, and requires the alliance to do 75,000 damage to defeat Ultron and unlock the next chapter. The other tiny nodes are SURVIVAL style missions limited to avenger characters only; successful completion of one of the smaller pins will immediately refresh the big node in the middle. oh boy. This is interesting---a hybrid heroic event.

The one character most players will be missing covers for. The worse character you have introduced in months, who originally was great before Y'all changed him. It wasn't easy, but Y'all found a way to dampen what was supposed to be an awesome event. Congratulations to everyone that spent money buying his covers. Mpq just gave you few a major advantage.
Noon EDT tomorrow, the 24th. You'll see the mission preview go up in the early evening tonight.

Especially with the sentence "You and your alliance will work together to complete as many missions as you can against Ultron Prime!" in the original post. Will you be completing these on an individual basis, unlocking rewards for yourself? Or does your whole alliance have to beat each Ultron Prime node, to unlock the rewards?

Ultron Prime has 3 deadly abilities:Energy Beams is an active ability that deals damage to your entire team. Gravitational Force is an active ability that creates 3 Countdown Tiles. When they detonate, they each drain some AP from the player’s strongest color, and stun the character in front. Hive Mind is a Passive ability. At the start of Ultron Prime’s turn, he chooses a random Strike, Protect or Attack tile belonging to the enemy team, over-writes it with a new strength and then creates a copy on an adjacent Basic tile. Hive Mind also prevents Ultron Prime from becoming Stunned.

Congrats on the first complaint! It wasn't addressed here, but Will did comment on the youtube video. "Will Jennings-Hess 9 hours ago (We're also accounting for the fact that Quicksilver's a recently released character and there have been fewer opportunities to earn covers for him - the missions where he's required are easier than the other ones.)"

"Will Jennings-Hess 9 hours ago (We're also accounting for the fact that Quicksilver's a recently released character and there have been fewer opportunities to earn covers for him - the missions where he's required are easier than the other ones.)" correct, that's why I said "slightly" upset. But it doesn't change three things. 1. If you have a max qs, you have an advantage over other players with the same scaling. 2. Many players were not spending iso til the iso change went into effect. This puts them at a bigger disadvantage as well, or compels them a little more to spend iso before the change. 3. Many players have 0 qs covers. So it doesn't matter how easy the nodes are. Neither one of these things are earth shattering, especially with rewards mainly alliance based, not individual. However, with all the recent criticism, I do not understand why not go the safe route to avoid more.
