    UPCOMING VERSUS TOURNAMENTS
      Black Widow – Hollowpoint Kiss Punisher – Army of One Iron Man (Model 40) – Heavy Metal Hulk – Smash Hit Quicksilver – Blue Shift

    Is this list correct? Army of One rewards are listed as Mystique.

    This is important stuff. I specifically sold a Punisher cover yesterday (and had a few days left!) because I knew I could only max one: Punisher or Iron Man. "Their PVP's are coming up back-to-back" I thought to myself based on this thread...may as well not champ Punisher, I'll champ Iron Man (since I have HB).

    Should I go to customer support and get my Punisher cover back, since apparently we were lied to in this thread?

    THIS THREAD IS ONE OF THE MAJOR BONES YOU THREW TO THE PLAYERS WHILE SHUTTING DOWN SPOILERS. One of the big benefits the spoiler threads had was letting players know where to put their ISO - who was coming up in the short term. This information needs to be accurate!

    Totally agree. After a period of inactivity with no update, we got some update... And it turned out to be wrong?

    How disappointing....

    I presume that list only states the featured 3* in that respective event, not the prize you get from it

    We know that. However it has always been the case that the reward character will be the next pvp.

    In this case, Punisher pvp reward is Mystique. That means that the next pvp would be mystique and not IM40 as Hi-fi has reported.

    The reward for a given pvp has always been the featured next pvp unless replaced by a 4* or special pvp like the off season events, and even then they are the cover given out at 800 progression in the replacement event. Either the list is wrong, the rewards are wrong, or they are changing a system that has been in place since... very long ago.

    Yeah, that's always the case. It also is completely possible we hear some Iron Man BIG ANNOUNCEMENT and a special event is put in place of Mystique....I'd SINCERELY HOPE that is what is happening here.

    The problem is is that for D3 Go! a timely manner is sometime within the next epoch. I get that it is a small team doing different jobs at the same time but please just let the intern do this kind of thing in future.

    Have you looked at the in game credits? It's not exactly a "small team"

    If it is Mystique and not IM40, I'll be a happy camper, because my Mystique is championed, and my IM40 is way down at level 113 (as it's basically completely useless, so I'm saving it as one of my last characters to champion).

    My guess is that they were intending to have the 'round of 3* buffs* that they mentioned done at the start of this week, and had planned in the IM40 PvP as a way to highlight the changes. However, there might be some delay in the tweaks, and therefore IM40 is postponed and Mystique is put up as a replacement PvP.

    Just my guess, of course.

    That would be extremely exciting news! /hugs 3* army

    Just hoping the buffs are more like doom/loki than rags...

    How much worse could they make IM40.....

    Oh wait they did "buff" Rags.

    On a more serious note it is kind of disturbing that this info was added on the 21st and it is the 24th now. So in 3 days 2 being weekends they changed heir mind.

    Heh, they probably can, but just like when they changed the 2k Sim progression reward, they won't.
