    I've beat him 3 times but I'm not seeing his energy go down at all. Any one else getting this?

    I was seeing similar (or so I thought) but I think it's server lag. Just be careful when you get it down to zero, because it took a few minutes (for me) to recognize level 1 was complete.

    So definite question thus far is how the progression works for each Ultron level.

    Does it reset (and thus you're fighting your own alliance for rewards) or is it cumulative across the 8 levels?

    I do like this event, once they get the server glitches ironed out, it's going to be interesting!

    I'm trying out 2*Thor, Cyclops and Mystique, my 3 highest color generators, maybe that will help me match at least a few of the colors since I don't have any board controllers leveled very high.

    For the sentinels, I'm definitely using Falcon to clear out some of these strike, attack and defense tiles that keep getting generated, whew! Maybe Loki...

    We killed Ultron, now what? Cannot get to ultron Prime, all nodes are locked..
  • That's way better than the nothing I'm getting access to right now. Go, go servers!

    There are two sets, one for Ultron, one for Ultron Prime. Ultron progressions have 4 rewards, these reset every level, so you could say we're fighting our own alliance for these. Ultron Prime progressions is the one everyone wants, these do not reset. Points from Ultron contribute to both sets of progressions.

    Thanks, it's Ultron Vanilla I wasn't clear on.
  • Ugh why are 2 of the 5 nodes that unlock after you beat ultron each time for quick silver? that is just flat out stupid!

    They said they knew that it sucked, both needing QS and him being weak, so they made those easier. In fact so far on round 3 they have around 3k HP each sentry, so its fairly easy to win if you dont get unlucky with AI cascades. And they happen a lot.

    and if you missed out on QS instead of just getting punished once, you get it twice, pretty stupid move IMHO

    I can't even see the damned event, nor any PVP. Really really unbelievably frustrating.

    Feel ya buddy, nor can I. I checked the thread just now to see if I was the only one, imagine my surprise to see others in the same boat AND my utter dismay to see that other alliances are already deep into the event and have even won some SW covers. Arrgh!
  • This event sounds really fun! When does it go live?

    I get throwing him in the pool or potential required characters, but making him the guaranteed required character 40% of the time is not great. When I first heard I thought I'd feel differently if I had a Quicksilver. I don't think I would though. It'd be better if the 5 nodes were drawn from that pool and guaranteed to be 5 unique characters. As it is now I'm missing Quicksilver and Hawkeye so there's a chance that in the any given round I can only play 2 out of the 5 character-essential nodes.

    I play every day and can't play every node. Hell, on an unlucky draw I can play less than half. If you're looking to bring in new players and bring back in old players you'd think the intent would be to get as many players on as many nodes as possible.
