    They did say it was like DDQ , so i expect it may refresh with different color covers
    Except the timer at the top of the screen says 29 days. If it was going to refresh, they'd let us know how much time was left until the refresh, you'd think.

    The Event is exactly what you're looking at, nothing hiding behind refreshes or anything. 30 days to grab an Ant-Man cover, 1500/2000 Iso a node, and a few nodes with HP prizes.

    Any chance you'll run this next month with a different color cover available?

    ETA: Or really any 4* cover with the event themed to that particular character. This was a really nice way to augment 4* cover collection.

    Cakewalk with star.pngstar.pngstar.png Cap and OBW. I boosted as a CYA (since I have 30, figured why not), but probably didn't need to. Lost OBW, but due to a lack of attention. Ant-Man had the board flooded by the 5th wave.

    No plans at current but it's possible. Definitely want to see how the playerbase takes to this particular one first before we decide on an encore or changing it up with another character or what have you.

    Am I right to assume that it refreshes tomorrow? Kinda weird there's 1 progression reward for a 30 day event...

    Maybe tomorrow it will reset (a la DDQ), with new content and possible a new reward?

    Guess we will see.

    I was hoping for a chance at more covers but I appreciate being able to get an easy 4*. You guys should do this every new release.

    I thought there would be tokens and a vault involved?

    Just out of curiousity, do y'all think it will take a lot of people all 30 days to complete this? I enjoyed it, personally, but 30 days seems like a huge amount of time for this.

    I thought a Vault and tokens would be involved as well, ala Ultron type tokens.

    Would have spent money on that lol

    Seriously? I love the opportunity afforded to earn an extra cover, but this sounded like a major event--30 days of fun! I finished in 30 min, figuring there might not be a new mission tomorrow, but surely the "sub" was one of the referenced 5 missions. Apparently, you guys meant that 5 nodes would be in the event and not 5 missions.


    A for effort and idea, but I'm sure most players will be extremely let down. Next time, be clear on this, and simply say; "a 30-day sub event with 5 nodes, after which you will earn one x cover."

    We expect most vets to get through it in a day or two between everything else to play at the moment. The main reasons it's 30 days are:
    1) To give everyone time to get the cover between all other PVE/versus events
    2) To give everyone time to farm out the Iso/HP rewards on some nodes that can certainly otherwise rock you (Deadpool likes Whales.)
    3) To give players that just start the game after seeing the movie to get rosters strong enough to get an Ant-Man cover

    I can't believe a 5 node event is all there will be for this. No way.

    eta: This might be the end of Growth Industries, but there will be other special events, right?

    IceIX, do you guys usually see an influx of players after a new movie?

    Will there be any tokens/vault type thing to try for more covers?

    IceIX just confirmed: No refreshes. We had 30 days to get Ant-Man. We took 30 minutes. Now we're done.
