    umm.. is the 4* release event really a Heroic? That would be the opposite of fun.

    Remember how everyone complained that no one plays Heroics and it's a terrible way to test the new scaling changes?

    Yeah now read your question again, remember what game this is, and wonder why you asked it.

    ok, went back and read the scaling info..
    We're running these tests in events that do not reward new characters, but do have normal event rewards. This is so we can get players actively competing to give us real data to understand what's happening during the test.

    Welp, there's another joke that closely resembles this:exposive_acme_bomb_prop_0.jpg

    Galactus AND gauntlet?!? How's a guy supposed to find time to play other video games when you keep running the pve events I like?

    Not to worry! They've introduced a handy scaling bug that will help you find plenty of time to play other video games! Or throw your phone against a wall!

    Spider-Gwen. We're pretty close to getting the whole Spider-verse. At this rate, my wish for a Suipadaman/Leopardon character might actually come true!

    I understand that heroes sell, but Spidey has the best rogue's gallery in Marvel and it's woefully unused. Where's Goblin (Green or Hob)? Sandman? Electro? Mysterio? Vulture? Kraven? Rhino? Shocker? Lizard? Paste-Pot Pete? Stilt-Man?

    Green Gob is in Marvel Future Fight. Electro, Rhino are in Contest of Champs. Since Gwen is in both games already, it was only a matter of time before she shows up in MPQ too.

    The Simulator preview lists Cyclops (Classic) as being boosted instead of Eddie Brock. I guess there was a change of plans?

    Is this a new version of BoP, possibly tiered? Or is it just an odd descrption of an old event.

    Odd description I guess. Since there isn't a featured character per se. Maybe it would be more clear for players if we put "All characters" in place of "Your choice"?

    I would say you simply need to put "Balance of Power", and call it a day.

    I meant The Gauntlet. Sorry for the confusion.

    Kingpin, Doom and Daken as rewards in Venom Heroic... I suspect this means the next PvE after that is Deadpool vs MPQ since we just had Prodigal Sun and The Gauntlet is running now. Could be The Simulator, but that is usually a three-day event.

    Venom rewards show all villains, strongly implying Simulator or Deadpool events next. Movie opening next weekend makes me think the latter.
