    Who is ready to grind optimally for 30 days?

    If we all agree to not grind, do we all win?

    ...or more likely, do we prove the tragedy of the commons?

    cmon guys, some info would be nice!

    Did the forum sign an exclusivity deal with them that the devs have to post here before promoting their game in media outlets?

    No but is classed as good form posting news for your product on your own website first. Maybe at a push use social media like Facebook or Twitter, using a local newspaper seems a rather odd choice considering Marvels and MPQ global user base.

    No, but they are well aware that forumites are fairly intelligent, alternately mean/evil, and mostly just looking for answers.


    if they make an announcement like that, you would think they would have someone standing by the forum for the very reasonable deluge of questions that would come after it.

    Do an interview with a newspaper. Get told it'll be on the website sometime Tuesday. Have an intern constant refresh the LA Times to make a post right when it pops up?

    Instead of saying, "they should post on the forum first because the forumites will have a cow if they don't," how about the forumites just don't have a cow?

    Well according to the sneak preview below, Ant Man will have Drop Tiles like Ultron so maybe instead of an Ultron event, it will be an Ant Man event 2-weeks back-to-back. However, I find it odd they would choose to do a 30-day event for Ant Man and not Ultron.

    AntMan's sneak preview
    Ant-Man hops on the back of Anthony and leads a swarm of winged ants into the enemy's base. Creates ??? Drop tiles in the top 2 rows. If one reaches the bottom row, remove all Drop tiles and steal up to ??? Green, Red, Yellow, Black, Purple & Blue AP from the enemy. While these tiles are on the board, this power becomes Grow. (Green, Red, Yellow + cover upgrades)

    Ant-Man uses Pym Particles to shrink down and cause pint-sized chaos. Creates a Purple Trap tile. While it's on the board, it creates ??? strength ??? Purple Attack tiles each turn. This power becomes Grow.

    Ant-Man leaps towards his enemy, restoring himself to full-size in midair to deliver a haymaker. Remove all Ant-Man Drop & Trap tiles, and deal ??? damage to the target. This power becomes Small Time Crooks / Pym Particles.

    Ant-Man commands an army of ants to swarm his foes, biting them all over. Creates ??? ???-turn Red Countdown tiles that each create a strength ??? Yellow Strike tile. (PASSIVE) At the beginning of each turn, deal ??? damage for each Ants! Ants! Ants! countdown tile.

    If I had to guess, a 30-day event has to be different. Assuming the blurb is accurate, I'm assuming there will be some sort of tasks to compete every day, but not something you'd need to grind optimally for a month for. Maybe the equivalent of a DDQ per day, or something along those lines.

    30 days, 10 tokens per day. 300 tokens in a Vault. Coincidence?

    Yes.

    Antman seems to be good at breaking into things...and we just got a shiny new Vault

    Just as a note, it's a non-competitive PVE. So don't worry about needing to stick with 8 hour refreshes for 30 days to score a cover.

    Even with the little detail you presented us, this sounds awesome. Will it be like Gauntlet? Does it involve the Vault?

    That's what I was hoping for, on more than one level. Can you give us any more information on it (even just when it starts?)

    That info is outdated. Ant-Man no longer uses Drop tiles.

    Gauntlet-y, yes. No Vault. The idea is as stated elsewhere above. We want to give *everyone* that starts the game during the Event a real chance to get Ant-Man covers.

    Wait, is that "non-competitive PVE" like the rest of the PVEs are "non-competitive"?

    They said no 8 hour refreshes. That sounds unlike regular PVE content.

    Non competitive like Gauntlet (non Time Attack Gauntlet, before people call *that* out). If there are leaderboards, they're just there to show progression of other people, no influence on any rewards.

    Will there be community scaling for the event?

    Actually, thats outdated. The drop tile power is now a Countdown based special tile stealing power.

    Is it a new mechanism? Like Tetris Ultron and how the whole puzzling concept is different. Do we get a new way to Puzzle-On?

    That's such great news. I think I speak for everyone that we're excited for a Gauntlet-like event. Can you tell us if Ant Man be a 3* or a 4*?
