    Glad it is between seasons. The fallout from the last time has only just died down on the forum.

    Except there's only a 9 hour lag between season end and event start, so if there's an Alliance lock like last time there is *no* window to dump dead weight before the event starts... unless I'm going to forego sleep in favor of haunting the forum looking for new Alliance members. icon_rolleyes.gif

    It is a nightmare. I actually immediately thought the same thing, but did not want to mention it.

    My casual alliance that I started and stuck with so far are a decent bunch but casual is definitely the operative word so I am going to have zip over to alliance forum when my sub finishes and finally make the jump. Held off until now as like them but Ultron in casual land ain't fun.

    It would of been nice to have a bit more notice.

    I don't like that is starts while 2 more events will be running since it will be difficult to find an alliance to join. Last time they run Ultron I got 1+million in the first round and 1.3 in the second round, but because the alliance I joined wasn't very active I only got 1 HB cover from both rounds, partly because of a glitch that cost us precious time and points. This time I am hoping to join a more active alliance, but then I noticed the event will start while 2 more pverun at the same time. Since I joined late in Unstable ISO, my score is low so I doubt an alliance that usually places high and is going after Carnage alliance rewards will be interested in me. Because of this, I almost hope the rewards will not be worth joining at all.

    might be running for you but unstable will be done for a lot.

    Not having Cap buffed in this version of the event is going to hurt in those later tetris rounds as well.

    If by a lot you mean only slices 1 and 2

    What we really need to know:
    1 Is this the 3* or 4* version
    2 If 4* has Ultron's health been set to a realistic level?

    I think what surprises me the most (and yet doesn't at all - shut up, that's possible!) is the lack of communication. The BIGGEST complaint about the last run of Ultron was the poor communication from the Devs about the event. And here we are with another run and there's actually less information!

    well, as players, we scour the board for information, and we took the survey about the ultron event, so therefore, we know enough information

    also, we're SURE to "try hard enough" this time instead of "just giving up" like last time.

    -I think that's how D3's thought process works.

    Agreed, this is tiny-kitty ridiculous. Me and our other commander are scrambling like madmen trying to get he logistics straight so we can get enough mercs in for Unstable ISO to try and get everyone an extra Carnage while also keeping everyone together for Ultron. But without any friggin information, said logistics are impossible. If it's a 3* run for Ultron, we could just say eff it and do with half our staff and be fine. 4* tho? Not an option. They put together a nice video that almost made me believe they we're listening to their players and trying to do things to improve their experience, then just go right back to dropping bombs on us. #frustrated!

    Cough, a fANTastic event to come.
    I know you're a reliable source, but an OFFICIAL announcement should have been made

    Why? We'll find out soon enough and then life will go on.

    My guess is they are apart of a large Walmart alliance that wants to shuffle its players around before it starts. They want to know if it's worth the trouble.

    Most players will feel the same as you. The ones that aren't already bitter towards the company that is. It's just a bug.

    Contractual obligations then, if it is who it has been alleged to be?
    Apparently *some* movie is being premiered next week before the general release next month.

    Demiurge, we need answers ASAP! Ultron starts in 3.5 hours and we are still in the dark if this is a 3* or 4* event. Or if any adjustments have been made to Ultron health in either setting

    2 hours until the start of Ultron, and still radio silence from the Reds.
    Sad...so very sad.

    I think the saddest part is that I'm not surprised by the lack of info

    They are probably putting all effort in making the event free of server crashes and other bugs icon_e_smile.gif
