Still some unanswered questions about the way Hellfire works.

What happens if there is an equal number of Heroes and Villains? I presume no bonus, since the ability uses "more than".

Are unconscious characters counted?

How does it work in a survival node, are characters yet to enter the fight counted?

How are you going to display the Hero/Villain information in-game? As expected, MN Magneto is a Hero and Classic Magneto is a villain, even though Uncanny Cyclops is a Hero. If we're talking about specific incarnations, it's interesting to note that killing your mentor and leading a revolution against your old comrades is perfectly Heroic.

Equal means no additional damage.
Downed characters do not count, nor do any waiting in the wings in Survival nodes.
Not displayed in-game, as generally it's pretty cut and dry. And that's totally heroic. All depends on the story framing.

Noticed this says COMING IN 6 DAYS 13hours

Meaning a 6am Start time?

Does this event have time slices is this a single player event or allaince event

Time slices like a normal story event. This is our next episode past Enemy of the State. So start times are largely based on when you want to get going.

First character I've been truly excited about in a LONG time. And he's coming with what's sounding like an awesome new PVE to boot.

Thankyou, devs.

So the new event, which gives a new 4*, starts on Thanksgiving?
Devs confirmed for hating family and retail & food service employees.
Seriously, only PvE events that should run Thanksgiving weekend are Gauntlet or maybe one of those Heroic Modes that everybody hates.

Have the devs ever mentioned the global demographics of mpq, it is only thanksgiving in the states after all.

Honestly not trying to kitty on any non-Murica players...

The developer is based in the US. If the demographic is heavily slanted to the US, there are two reasons to acknowledge US holidays. Personally, over Thanksgiving actually favors me, as it's a 4 day weekend, and I don't have much family stuff, just playing devils advocate.

his black sounds fun, but don't think it's going to be reliable.

I can see that argument, but I like it. I'm a sucker for abilities that feel really appropriate to the character (like Mischief or Diabolical Plot), and that's exactly what Penance Stare does. If a character has done no "wrong," he's less of a threat to them. In game terms, that's not gonna be 100% effective, but it sounds exactly what Penance Stare is. Plus, the balance is that "Oh god, skip it" characters like boosted Juggernaut or Ares suddenly have a very real threat specific to them.

I like it myself too, and I agree it is what defines Ghost Rider the most. It sounds fun and rewarding.
I am just saying that gamewise I always tend to avoid the damage so I don't think 5 covers into Penance Stare would suit my general playstyle. But eventually it will come down to how lucky I will be with the covers, really. Overall I like his abilities very much .

any word on timings on this? Same as most 4 day? (24/48/24) I'm hoping for no Saturday grind
