CHARACTERS

The 5* for the month is Jean Grey (Phoenix). Her character thread is here.

Our first 4* release for the month is X-23 (All New Wolverine), with a character thread here.

Our second 4* is for this month is the spirit of vengeance himself, Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze)! Go check out his abilities and ongoing player conversations about him here.

Technically a December release, but well known to be releasing next is the Totally Awesome Hulk, Amadeus Cho. Pre-release character thread is here. Here's a quick precis for him:

Mastermind Excello - 12 AP - Destroys a selected 3x3 block of tiles and deals damage + bonus damage for each Blue AP the team has.
See the Math of It - 7 AP - Places a CD that, when activated, creates Blue Charged tiles and destroys Green tiles, dealing damage and gaining AP.
Hot Dog Stand - 5 AP - Only usable if < 7 Blue on the board. Stuns Cho for a turn, healing him and creating Blue tiles.

Hooray for the November Thread! Also, if it holds to form, possibly only a 3 day event for next 4* release?? Yes please!

The next 4* isn't being released for a bit so the event plan is very very sketchy at that point. November has 3 character releases including Phoenix, but in terms of "standard" releases, X-23 and our next character pretty well bookend the month.

Ice do the Devs realize players don't like 7 day PVE because they are too long and a huge grind to 1 legendary token? Any thoughts to just make all PVE 3 and 4 day events? Oh and none of them heroics?

I would not mind 7 day events, if the rewards were the same as a 4 day and 3 day combined, as far as progression. Heroics, love'em or hate'em, they have a purpose.. find oddball teams to take out nasty leveled low AP needing chars, yes they are rough, but some of my favorite teams i use currently have been formed out of desperation during a heroic pve in my 3* transition time. Plus, the progressions are always very fast on them.

I missed 'next story episode' on my first read through.....

Command Points will also be given out in nodes at a comparative rate during 7 day Events too, so there's another reason to go into them besides just the push to the Legendary progression.

But that CP will also only be given out as part of a "bonus rollout" right? Or will you guys clarify the part in the monthly video that made it sound like all the cp we'll ever see will only be for a limited time only or are a part of the so-called "bonus rollout"?

Can we get rid of 20 iso until 4/4 rewards obtained? I'd hate to miss command points because RNG refused to give me all node rewards

The bonus roll-out is as follows:

5 CP for playing between 10/26 and 11/4
1 CP a day in 11/5 - 11/10 DDQs
5 CP for getting 300 or more points in X-23 Versus
5 CP for connecting to Facebook
5 CP for having supported the game through a purchase

So 25 total that is a bonus portion. CP will be regularly available elsewhere as well in an ongoing fashion. Yes, that does mean that Deadpool Dailies won't *always* be a place for CP. That may change in the future though depending on what kind of inflow/outflow we're seeing for players in the game. DDQ is one of the easiest ways to insert something to help out with that.

yes, friggin' green rags(need that, the stuck situation kinda remind me of old vaulted 3*)

how about the people who play on steam You do not allow us to hook our facebook into it.. How do we earn those 5 pts or is it just too bad for us

a way to make 7 days better how about if the LG token is rewarded at 80k give one at 40 and 80k .. ALSO on 48 hour nodes why is gold doubled but not the tokens

24 hour nod 100 and 2 covers for top 2
48 hour nod 250 and 2 covers for top 2 (shold be 4)


careful when releasing that 4 star... do it thanksgiving and everyone will got turkey insane

so im guessing 4 star will hit on the 19th..

mindsuckr

Please take into consideration Thanksgiving week when planning the next 4* release. Please. It was hard to wrangle players over Halloween weekend. I know you can't make any promises, but keep it in the back of your mind at least?

Wolarsen

Prodigal Sun has always granted a Sentry cover at the very end; it was an amazing feature, but I guess we can agree that its value is very small nowadays. Any chance to replace it for a proper reward, like a 4* or a Legendary token?

For some of us, that would be the best time, however.

I don't mind a guaranteed 500 ISO for a node that can only be played once...

umm... when did the x-23 debut event take place? Yes, a holiday weekend (kids&adults will swear that Halloween is considered a holdiay ). So why would D3 change that and AVOID releasing next character during the next holiday weekend? Come on.

No really, this needs a response.

25 points for most of the player base, 20 points for Steam players is, for lack of a better term, a big FU to players that are just as loyal.
