    Silver Surfer as Day 730 resupply is awesome. Very pleased we are getting a useful cover instead of another novelty.

    I'm not sure the 5* abilities fit Red Hulk very well.

    Also, Ice said the patch hints were for three characters, so maybe 1 5* and 2 4*s? Presumably the "Seeing." one is Cyclops, and the "When a man becomes that which he hates" is Red Hulk. The "Healing" one sounds like the rumored Old Man Logan, which makes the most sense with the 5* abilities.

    Question about the Galactus deal. If I start the event and then swap alliances will I still be contributing the the alliance I started with or the new alliance?

    I think an administrator needs to post an FAQ so people can start planning.

    I did not read the article yet but looking at the Galactus picture.. two passives and a 30AP cost Black.. should we be worried? icon_lol.gif


    Pfff, Cosmic Wrath needs a buff. Whales, Whales, Whales is an auto win button that costs less than half the AP, AND it's on a less used color. Galactus got the shaft. Devs have to buff him pre-release or I'm deleting my roster! For the good of the game!

    Anyone have a blown up version of the polygon infographic? Can't read it or zoom on it.

    Ohhh I didn't realize it would be 2 4*s

    The Galactus in the polygon article has 21k health and has taken slight damage, so I'm guessing he's around 25k health. That seems pretty low for a boss character, so I'm guessing he'll have multiple levels the same way Ultron did. We are just seeing level one in that article.

    I thought L1 ultron only had like 8k health. This seems like a much higher level.

    No, you're not the only one. I'm getting tired of having too look elsewhere for information on the game instead of the game's official forums. Instead of being a liaison between the devs and the forum, IceIX is too busy shutting down threads.

    It most likely will work identically to the Ultron events.

    David Hi-Fi Moore is community liason, IceIX is as far as I know a designer.

    My only guess is that some sort of exclusivity deal is in place for various places to get news first.

    So, looks like Galactus has 2 passives and a 30 cost blackflag.png active. Who's betting that one will instantly down your entire team? I sure am.

    What you don't know is that both of his passives generate 15 black AP per turn.

    It makes it here almost immediately, though, and giving exclusive interviews to websites with broader readership than the existing MPQ community is good for the game overall.

    Ideally it would get stickied here as soon as the article goes live, but that might be tough to automate.

    News sites don't generally like to get second hand news because that doesn't drive traffic to their sites, most people already have went to the primary source.

    Meanwhile, MPQ can use the news site as a way to attract new customers, who don't currently play the game or visit the forums, so they do want other news sites to cover their game. Publicity is good after all. But to do that, they have to not show the information themselves first, or else the news site has been denied potential traffic.
