    please tell me you guys are NOT planning on running the anniversary event alongside Season 20

    tell me you ARE going to postpone Season 20 until AFTER anniversary is over

    They did make Season 19 shorter to accommodate the Anniversary Week, so I don't see why they would ruin it by running Season 20 before Anniversary Week ends.

    Didn't they have an anniversary season last year? A week long season complete with rewards? Or am I remembering that wrong?

    Oh yeah I remember now that you mention it. The background pic of the event was a party with a bunch of characters like Devil Dino "dancing" in the background.

    They did, 3 events, 3000 points for an Anniversary 10-pack, 2400 for Dino. Alliance rewards were also 10-packs.

    The Anniversary PvE though starts on a Thursday, so unless it's a 3-day event, it's going to go into the following week. Which hopefully is the normal 'off-season', and season 20 will start up Oct 16th.

    Question:

    Is Iceman being added to the Legendary packs for the Anniversary, or do we have to wait until Season 20?
    Any comment on this?

    The 4*s will be added as of Season 20. The Anniversary is a "season", but we're not counting it as one for purposes of token housekeeping. Also, to answer another question above, we're not going to be running the 20 person leaderboard LRs this time around.

    Current plans:
    Monday - New 5* (post daily patch/R85 going required) goes into Legendaries
    Anniversary - Iceman goes into packs
    Season 20 - Cyclops/Red Hulk go into packs

    I'm not 100% on Red Hulk for Season 20 due to the way events overlap.

    Sorry to be that guy, but yeah I will be that guy. Does that mean you aren't going to announce the new 5*?

    ok, that is much better - as much as I'd love to hold off for cyc and rulk, sounds like Monday is party day for my legs lol. 13 of them. will be a huge boost to my 4*s.
