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.

That's just enough to fully cover an Invisible Woman! Good luck!

Sucks to have DPX 210. His red is no good at low level and his black can't trigger because he has no team members, so there is nobody with lower hit points than him to activate the passive. No way for me to win this one.

so for season 20, getting added to all token chances are iceman, 4cyc, and rulk and to the legs, the new 5* as well. wow, that's a lot of adding. have to wait 2 weeks....man this is hard lol

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.

By events overlapping does this mean Season 20 may start during toward the end of Anniverary week?

We're not 100% set on timing, either it will start right after Anniversary Season 2 ends (so there will be some minor overlap depending on shards) or we'll put an offseason event or two in there as buffer. The events are easy enough to propagate, so it's more of an internal question of whether we can get any S20 changes online in the shorter timeframe or not while still monitoring the hamsters during anniversary week.

Please give us a mini break from the anniversary fun to the season. Even one PVP to recover from our anniversary hang over really helps compared to going back to the season grind.
That one PVP can be our bloody marry for the morning after a week of anniversary partying.

I concur. Even if it is Balance of Power PVP, a couple days of a break for everyone would be appreciated. For everything available, for those of us who put off a lot of our lives to play regularly, Anniversary needs a Honeymoon. Haha.

dont really see why you need a break for. the anniversary week is your break. usually have to grind 9 nodes every 8 hours now you have to do what 5 nodes every 8 hours after you get past the boss stage 4 and many will not even do that... Once BOSS gets higher then you can take down many will just do the 2 stages that give out token chance and thats is it.

I would love for them to learn from the Leg, token set up and do that for the PVE rewards. like how its set up now

top 1-2 get 4 star + 3 3 star covers
top 10 get 3 - 3 star covers
top 50 get 2 - 3 star covers
top 150 get 1 -3 star cover

would love to see them do

top 10 get 3 3 star tokens (where you can pull any 3 star)
top 50 get 2 3 star tokens
top 150 get 1 3 star token

this way would give people a reason to play PVE when they already have the 3 star that is being given out fully covered.

You forgot about the PvP events and optional PvE events running concurrently... not to mention any other surprise events.

10/8 – Galactus Hungers (NEW Boss Battle!)
10/8 – Black Vortex
10/11 – Class of 2015 (NEW Versus Event!)
10/12 – Simulator Challenge
10/13 – Women of Marvel
10/15 – Devil Dino (NEW Versus Event!)

But there probably won't be a break as it will bugger up schedules, the Suits won't like that.

Try to look at it from the perspective of other players with different playstyles. There are probably many people who do not normally play PVE or do the every 8 hour clears, but who will do it for the anniversary event since its alliance-based progression. For them, a random off-season PVP would be a nice way to take a breather and catch their breath before returning to the PVP season grind.

This is actually another concern I had with the Galactus event. Since it is supposed to swap around in a single window instead of closing and creating a new Round Whatever, I hope we still get the bonus run of nodes whenever defeating a round of Galactus's health and not have to wait until the 8 hour mark.

Just updated and no new 5* in the Legendaries.

Guess plans changed?

It's after the daily server patch (which is different from R85 - usually goes out late afternoon U.S. Eastern time) and also after R85 becomes required to play the game, which is going to be a few hours after Android and Steam updates (to ensure there's no nasty game-killing bug in the code that would make mandatory updates a bad idea).

i really hope it dont. Think of the teams who cant not get past a stage. every 8 hours at least they have a chance to pull a token, if it only reloads when the boss dies they may never get another chance after round 5

Does anyone know how the Galactus event will work? i.e. the alliance roster will be locked when you join the event?

I am currently in a PVP alliance and plan on merc-ing out for the ISO Brotherhood, but will be back to my main alliance for the Galactus PVE event. I want to make sure that I don't miss the Galactus PVE event.

Can someone clarify how it will work? Thanks.

got to tell them to keep it private so noone can join when you leave (let them know when your leaving and coming back) the galactus locks you in to whatever group your in when you join BUT if 20 people already joined under that groups name you could be playing the event as a team of 1, even if your back under that team

Make sure your team stays private and does not allow others to join and you should be fine

I believe playing a match in the Galactus event will lock your scores to the alliance you're in at the time of that match. (You can leave, but your points will still be credited to that alliance)

So make sure that (1) you don't play a match before you're back home in your alliance, and (2) your alliance doesn't have someone else in your spot at the moment. If they do, and that placeholder player plays a match while they're still in your alliance, it's possible that you could have more than 20 people tied to your alliance for the event. In that case, the 21st and subsequent players will be on their own, lonely scoreboard, and will be effectively shut out of Alliance rewards.

Most likely will be just like ultron, BEFORE you join the event it has a message saying that once you join you are locked in with that alliance.
