    The devs call it purple, that's enough reason for me to call it purple. Particularly since it actually is purple...

    Looked at the abilities for upcoming cyk & hulk. Not that great to be honest. icon_cry.gif

    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.

    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.


    Thanks guys for the quick response.

    So if I do the following on 10/8/15:
    1) play a game in Galactus with my home alliance (as part of 20)
    2) join the merc'd out alliance, get ISO 8 reward
    10/9/15:
    3) return to my home alliance

    I will be fine?

    What if I do this while in step 2?
    2) join merc'd out alliance, play a game in Galactus (after I have already done step 1)

    Will that mess things up?

    Yep, Deadpool already. The idea here is that he's still pretty new, so we can see how players do when most *don't* have a character covered. Given the relatively low number of 4*s, his turn will come up again relatively soon for another token shot. The one we've got planned to come up after Deadpool will be one that most players have a bit more power on. That one also happens to be, personally, the most interesting out of the 4* fights we've got set so far.

    Now that XDP v XF is over, any results or good news to share? icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Looking forward to having Hulkbuster and Kingpin boosted. I think this may be the first time I have both boosted 4* at a good level - I don't quite remember where my Thor was at when she and X-force were boosted though.

    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.

    Hoping Iceman gets added soon. I've been holding tokens waiting for him. Today should be the day, but I don't see him in the odds...

    UPCOMING WEEKLY BUFFS
      10/8/15-10/14/15
      4* - Iron Man (Hulkbuster), Kingpin
      3* - Black Panther, Falcon, Kamala Khan, Ragnarok, Thor (Modern)
      2* - Bullseye, Moonstone
      1* - Storm, Venom
      Out of curiosity, when are these buffs going to be applied?
      They are not boosted in Galactus.
      They are not boosted in Black Vortex.
      Not all of them should be boosted in Class of 2015.
      Does that mean this list will only apply to the Devil Dinosaur PvP?

      Hey Ice, when will Iceman be added to packs? If soon, will he be added to the Galactus token pools, and other current event tokens?

        Yes, just Dino on PvP side. Also probably the Simulator PvE opening Monday.

          It was pointed out to me that Women of Marvel is scheduled before Devil Dino: http://d3publisher.helpshift.com/a/marv ... october-19
          ...so I guess I only get to play my newly maxed and buffed Hulkbuster in the Simulator?
          Man, I was hoping IceIX screwed up and put in the dates wrong and those boosts would be next week...

          I know it's been busy with the anniversary events, and the info might be posted in other spots around the forum, but how about updating the original post with current info? Since this is the official thread, it'd be nice to know that it would contain the info that it has had in previous month's and be updated in advance instead of after the information is already in the game. Thanks in advance!

          This post in this thread from David [Hi-Fi] Moore, the Community Manager, does tell us
          "David wrote:
          Moore"]Please visit our monthly MPQ SNEAK PEEK posts in MPQ General Discussion for character previews, hints and updates on what's upcoming in the game.

          Thank you!

          and was the reasoning behind the thread being locked.

          Maybe the real anniversary event hasn't started, this is probably just the beta test for it. It starts on Monday, so just hold off until the event starts if you want a slim chance at Iceman covers.

          I would love to know too. But they are probably too busy at NYCC to worry about these silly little things.

          Will the boosted character dates be pushed back since Black Vortex was ran in lieu of a normal PvP?
