    with the re-evaluation of PVP events, does this mean that icon_mystique.png and icon_blackpanther.png will get pushed and be the first 2 events of Season 19?

    I doubt mystique will be the first event of S19, if only because that would mean we've had rewards for her already in the last S18 PvP event.

    It's not uncommon to double up on certain rewards around the offseason.

    I must have been confused, I was under the understanding that today was the first 4* DDQ node. Is that tomorrow? Some other day?

    Thanks!

    Tomorrow (today is Bullseye, tomorrow is ***Cap and XFW).

    Thank you. That makes total sense. I must have got confused.

    Looking forward to seeing how hard they made it. Thankfully it is X-force, I think I am about 1 season away, perhaps 2, from having viable 4*s. All depending on how easy it is to get legendary tokens. I expect these next few months will see me getting left behind with 4/0/1 covered 4*s that don't have a chance.
  • I'm super stoked that it's a legendary token and not the 4* that you're playing with. I thought it would work like getting the 3*.

    Nice to see I've got a shot at a legendary token every 5 days now.

    I was actually a touch annoyed by this, cause it means I can unlock 4 stars I didn't have while trying to improve the ones I don't.

    But, this does help them sell roster slots, so I can see the financial reasoning.

    I'd prefer knowing the cover I'm going for, just like 1300. some covers in the game are worth hopping hp and using a last resort like whales. others are not and I'd hate to have to use whales on several ddq matchups (like when my -/2/1 falcap comes up, or even my 1/1/1 kingpin) only for them to end up as starlord, baglady, and Elektra.

    While this has merit, there are some niceties about having the legendary token:

    A)Obvious Surfer lottery.
    B)I have some 4's covered. A legendary token means I've got a shot at getting something useful every time.
    C)Could in theory hoard until the next legend comes out to double my odds. I don't have that level of patience myself but...

    slight clarification plz. Are we USING xf for the weekly ddq node tomorrow, or going AGAINST him? I'm confused. icon_redface.gif Second question--will the node be LOCKED until you clear some prerequisite nodes? Or can we just hit that node right away tomorrow?

    Might already been answered or I may have missed this...

    Is the new node only going to be available for 24hrs every 5 days? Or will it be available for the full 5 days?

    Red (PASSIVE) - Deal damage to enemy whenever ally uses an ability.
    so healing every turn like Patch? ok

    his red + icon_devildino.png doing thousands of AOE dmg every spam = OP

    this game is headed is a very strange direction

    Hugely OP 5* and no ISO to level your 4*'s....a strange direction indeed.

    *sniff sniff*, 5* smells like something feral.

    The new 5* is an easy guess, I think. That's good, the easiest to guess characters (like Cyclops) have been the ones that I've enjoyed playing the most.
    Gotta be Dark Phoenix, right?
