Unless they troll you and give Howard an opponent with AoE, like Kamala

Never happen. Everyone knows that witches weigh the same as a duck, so it's going to be Wanda.

It's a fair cop.

Well, I must say this is the most available a 4* has been that I've seen so far. I may get one, maybe two covers at the most, but I hope this becomes a regular thing for new characters. It's usually you can get up to three covers from the initial event, then availability falls off. This at least increases the chances of landing multiple covers.

Please please please let his 4DDQ opponent be this guy:

Webbed Wonder: Story event starts 7:00 AM EDT on April 11th. Howard the Duck will be available as a reward in a vault as well as a one-time mission reward.

I just noticed this and it has me a bit concerned. I don't remember any true PVE events besides DDQ and the Gauntlet having a vault or tokens before. Is this going to be an actual PVE event like Growth Industries, or will it be a Grind PVP event like most Story events?

I understood that it was announced as just a new story event, like most story events are. Like in Hulk event there is always one-time node with his cover.
But I guess we won't know for sure until we see it.

Is this going to be the only time ever to earn Howard? Will Duck Season recur in a year?

Question on Webber Wonder. How long will Webbed Wonder be run for for? Is this a week long event, a month, 3-4 days?

You must admit, sir, that it could also be bread, apples, or very small rocks....

Ah, but witches and ducks both float on water, like WOOD. She could also fight Groot.

In fact, I want to team Howard up with Switch and Groot.

Well I might have a chance if I could actually get into the game. Really not impressed that I'm probably gonna miss out on this.

Well, we were wondering, would Webber Wonder withstand a weeks worth of whaling and winning? Will we win what we want? Or will we wind up with a windfall of whining and woes when we wipe?

Haha...man, this is pretty sad. Instead of being excited by what should be a fun, lighthearted event rewarding a fan favorite character, the majority of us are griping and groaning about what we're fairly sure will be an overly difficult slog, followed by what will likely be an unwinable single character showdown. That's where your player's heads are at devs, this is the way a lot of us feel right now. This is the environment you've created for us with the over the top, constant difficulty and tight fisted reward schematic. Maybe make this thing actually lighthearted and fun, for players of all levels and roster compositions? I fear a lot of your players are on their last leg, just give us a break and let us enjoy the experience rather than shoving barely winnable battles at us, gating any worthwhile progress behind huge walls of AP fed carnage nodes & 50,000 hit point Moonstones. Because that's what we expect, and it doesn't sound like "fun". Surprise us.

I don't disagree that this is the current playerbase sentiment. To be fair though, it's been slowly building like this since Season 2. Season 1 was, "Yay, a way to win a new 4* Nick Fury!" Season 2 was, "This game makes me play too hard..." And it's been that way ever since.

please please please be nice and give us a purple cover from Webbed Wonder and not green or blue.

if you gave us a purple we would at least have a chance for sure at the DDQ clash node, as unless you throw like a level 125 bagman I can't imagine most people will be able to do that node without a purple cover.

His purple is the easiest of the three covers to get in Hunt, so that's a good start.

Don't have Star Lord, don't have Gamora. Bye bye Howard!

So unlike dino (anniversary week) or Ultron event, there is no special token set just for duck season. I guess I just learned how naive I really am. I thought it was obvious what made those other such events so great.

Either (1) mpq somehow really doesn't get what is fun and loved by players, or (2) they do know, but they just do not care. Either way, the implication is not good.

You might say he's flown the coop.

You might.

I don't understand...are we hurting these women??

the Howard 4* fight has to be against 2* Bagman, joke char vs joke char.

The game needs an injection of fun features that aren't tied to competition. There should be double iso weeks more often. I'm not saying monthly, but more often than now. There should be a monthly pve (open for most of the month) similar to am and chulk.

I'm not saying do anything meta shattering, just little touches like dpdq that give players reasons to get excited that doesn't involve spending 1000 hp on a roster slot.
