    Why was Steve Roger's model updated? It seems odd to tweak his when it was perfectly fine to begin with.

    And how is this considered "What Got Better..."

    Is this the Hulk PvE that gives his Green cover at the end??

    Is there any chance (before it hits live) that you would consider changing it to a Black? Just to mix it up from the usual.

    Please stop the insanity. We've been over this repeatedly (with affirmation previously that mpq understood how players felt on the matter), please limit the number of 7 day pves, especially for new characters.

    Normal 7 day pves are not fun. 7 day pves for new characters just shows a lack of understanding or disregard for what is not fun about pve. New characters should be a celebration, something for players to look forward to. Why rain on the parade by having a 7 day pve?

    If you could only read our minds about what's to come!

    I'm Gray with anticipation!

    (Also I'm optimistic that this next event won't be for a new character...please don't prove me wrong, guys!)

    I'm only hoping that maybe we won't see a FOURTH 4* in a row....other rarities exist, and if 4* is to remain "rare" perhaps they should be introduced LESS than other characters?

    Do you not see what's happening? This is the start of the 4* transition. 3* have become what 2*s were when 3* started dropping all the time. Get that ISO ready!

    Seriously, top 10 on a 7 day pve isn't that bad. There's enough buffer for you to actually slack for 2 of the sub endings and is still doable. Even in a veteran bracket with many pro pve players, I placed 6th overall for EoTS so I know this is true. On a shorter pve, you actually cannot afford to be inconsistent if you want to place top 10.

    I'm 90% certain that we won't see another 4* for a month or so. They had to release at least 2 4*s during the last 3 new character introductions because of the seasons rewards for seasons 16 and 17. Now that there are new 4*s to cover till season 18, there's a bit of breather in this area and they can afford to wait till closer to season 19 to release the next one.

    Everyone seems to think this hints at a psychic character on the way, but the sentence actually implies that we can't read their mind.

    Magneto and Juggernaut are the two obvious examples of characters whose minds are shielded. A 3* Juggs has long been requested and could be an interesting pause before the 4*s start up again. Similarly, Magneto is a prominent enough character that a 3rd variation doesn't seem impossible.

    I'm sure there are other characters who can block psychic intrusions.

    We're talking two different things. You're talking about the difficulty in placing, I'm talking about the playing time commitment.

    Ant Man was an okay character, but he was not a px or hb. Also, his other pve gave out his own cover. So, I would think eots was an exception, not the rule.

    But to be fair, we'll let you suggest the amount of playing time needed for a 7 day pve for a good character. I'm thinking it will be about an average of 3+ hours a day if subs are 24 hours each. But, we'll go with your suggestion.

    Lastly, eots still feels new compared to other pves. If the clue above is correct, we're due for the hulk pve. Let's just say if it was a car, it no longer has that new car smell.

    Jean Grey needs to be a 4*, please no more 3*'s, we have plenty.. add more 4*s and ways to get them.. and give us a place to grind iso.. every MMO/RPG ever made, you have the ability to grind exp/loot..except this one. the closest we have is the Shield sim, but if you actually play it, you rank to the point of nothing to beat.. we need a non-competitive iso/token/time-killer grind area

    You got lucky. My PvE bracket was an absolute nightmare. The second I dropped off of something near optimal I fell 20 places.

    I enjoyed the hulk event when it first came out, later down the line, it became a slog fest. Has this event been ran since the new rules were put in place regarding events?

    On the topic of the new character - my guess is Jean Grey. She seems the most likely, but I believe, she will be in phoenix mode.
