Title kind of says it all really.

    Remember, remember, the fourth of November...
    No, I don't really have anything of value to contribute.

    Not true you contributed poetry and the tiniest scrap of English history, and being English I understood the reference.

    you suck.. now i am going to have the rhyme in my head all day..

    Remember, remember!
    The fifth of November,
    The Gunpowder treason and plot;
    I know of no reason
    Why the Gunpowder treason
    Should ever be forgot!

    Also, if you have only ever seen the movie, here is the entire poem from 1870:

    I wonder what percentage of the people who know of this rhyme didn't even realise that there was more than three lines to it, I was vaguely aware of it, but definitely hadn't read the whole thing before.

    Wow, that poem sucks. Now I know why they only used the first few lines.

    Dont think it starts till NOV 5 if it did say the 4th it was a misprint just like they said X23 was coming on weds and never came till thursday.

    Pretty sure the hijacking of this thread into a quasi Guy Fawkes Day Rhyme + randomness thread is why he may think that. Or, they are on the other side of the date line.. d3/demiurge is EST.. so it could be that.

    From the video transcript:
    Command Point Roll Out

    Will: So when this comes out, we're really excited about it and we want you to be really excited about it too so we're going to do something special when it comes out. We're going to give away a bunch of bonus Command Points the first weekend that they come out.

    Casey: All over the place. Deadpool's Daily...

    Will: Yep, there's going to be one a day in the Deadpool Daily. Just everyone who shows up, that has played the game in the two weeks leading up to when we release it... I'm not sure exactly when this video is going to come out, but I think pretty soon after this video comes out, we're aiming for the 4th of November.

    Now, "aiming for" is still kind of loose language, but signs point to "Yup."

    The 4th of November reference was actually for the video itself, which we ended up finishing up editing on early, and thus putting out early. Command Points are currently planned for the 11/5 patch. We'll be sure to update you if anything changes there, but that's the current plan.

    Marvel.com: Is there anything else we need to know about Command Points or the Phoenix?

    Joe Fletcher: Phoenix will be coming to Legendary Packs around November 12. Like the other two 5-Stars, there won’t be an immediate way to earn her outside those packs, so the Command Point feature should help everyone to push towards gaining the volatile power of the Phoenix Force for themselves. Command Points will be coming into the game starting with events beginning on November 5, and we’re also going to be giving out a bunch for free to celebrate our newest feature.

    Thanks for the clarification Ice/Slidecage.

    Ice do you know if 4/5* covers can be sold to redeem command points?
