Heroic Dark Avengers end times

Is anyone else disappointed that the end times for Heroic Dark Avengers switched back to what they were before Daylight Savings Time ended? Moving the end times forward an hour was going to make things a lot easier for me, but now it looks like I only get one day to take advantage of it before everything goes back to the normal schedule.

    I'm disappointed in the prizes. They're awful. The only thing useful is the HP and BP cover in this event. Even new players must have 2* wolverine covered by now (mine was optimally covered within 3 weeks of playing). And then placement prizes are Rags? I know I'll end up grinding for the Leg token but I won't be wasting time trying to place in this event.

    The prizes aren't arbitrary. They're the essentials for the next event.
  • Look on the bright side of Heroic Dark Avengers: When you would play with Wolvie 2 * and 1 * Hawkeye beyond DDQ? Heroic Dark Avengers is like off-season pve.
  • Looks like people with one 5* get sensible scaling here, as you can't use your 5*s.

    Took me a while to work that out. Just spent 20 minutes looking through patch notes to see if PvE scaling was adjusted before working it out.

    This isn't time related but I just noticed something that has really ticked me off!!!

    I was just playing a few nodes with the hood being the enemy in 'rooftops' and he smacked me with twin pistols really early in the match and I thought I might check how many AP it takes - 15!!

    So I looked at how many he had after that and it was 4 2 turns later with no yellow matches and he suddenly had 15 again!! Off go the twin pistols - WHAT THE??!!

    Can someone explain to me why this happens?

    His goons generate yellow mana every turn, and he uses it instead of them. It's the same hell as with Gorgon/Wolvie and ninja goons in Enemy of the State. Sucks, but not strictly cheating.

    I would disagree because I just pulled an Old Man Logan yellow from the 33K Legendary Token! icon_e_biggrin.gif

    This is what I love about Heroics: 99% of the players HATE them and will usually skip them after the grind for a debuting 4*. Made it easy for me to grab the Kingpin top reward for with minimal effort and a lucky X-23 draw from an event token. Only 4 of us made the progression token and two of them quit after that. Got a green Iceman from the legendary and I got the red HB cover from another event token. All in all, one of the more productive PVE's I've played in a while, if not this year. I've only got IW and XFW fully covered, so ANY 4* cover but them makes me do a happy dance.

    But Rags does suck, I sold his off his Dark Reign hanger-on rewards off immediately.
