Much like any sequel, this one sucks. The original Hulk Event for those that remember was great. Every mission was doable, you actually got The Incredible Hulk as rewards for daily so you could actually make a Hulk. The missions scaled well, if one was too hard you could easily do some others and stay caught up, it was great. I don't know how they managed to mess it up, but they did. Here are some suggestions.

1. Make PvE tournaments like the orginal Hulk event, Ares, or the Simulator, they had their issues too, but these were by far the best tourney's
2. When you make a featured event, actually have the character as a progression or daily award like you did with the original hulk and Ares events, the packs suck, period, they suck


Anyone else?

    You are misremembering if you think you got a Hulk daily in the original event.

    Then how did I get my Hulk to 3/0/1 during that event? It wasn't from opening packs I assure you.

    The subs gave hulk event tokens, which had a high chance of getting a hulk. Halfway through the event, we unlocked a mission for one free Hulk.

    One.

    The progression rewards for the first Hulk event were Punisher covers. I remember because there was a huge brouhaha about only 70 people total getting the last Punisher cover in the first iteration of the event.

    I am fine with this event. What I don't like is that we have a single main instead of bracket. I had forgotten about it and this event reminded me again that there has been some progress in the game since then. I don't really care for Thor or the progression covers so I won't try hard, focusing mostly on the subs and the tokens.

    You only got the freebie green cover the first time through, but you got it again and placed in the top 5000 tier the second time for a grand total of 1+1+1 green covers and 1 black? Then you mashed the two events together in your memory and forgot that they were two HULKs back to back?

    Ares was also a 2 star character, which is why they were so freely handing out his cover.

    They handed out Patch pretty freely, although that was to replace 2* Wolvie

    Hm, I have a different opinion about that. With unbrackated, I don't have to worry about "timing" a bracket or accidentally getting in a bracket with 10 people who are planning on crushing it. I find it more relaxing.

    Yeah, instead of 10 people who are planning on crushing it, you get to share a bracket with everyone in the game planning on crushing it. I think a better argument would be that the awards seem much more generous in unbracketed

    Should the title be Hulk Event 3 as they ran the first hulk event twice. So that would be 2 free Hulks instead of one. This also allowed 2 times the chances to use the Gamma Bomb tokens in the event. So a 3/0/1 was completely doable.

    Keep in mind that the top 300 get the rewards instead of the top 10.

    I had a 4/0/2 hulk at the end of the second off placing top 10,000 twice and getting the two black covers from tokens.

    I'm actually just aiming for the progression rewards so I can finish my Punisher finally.

    But in doing so... easily able to stay in the top 1000 most of the time. so I don't mind that either icon_e_biggrin.gif I just don't want those Wolverines, I've finished him long ago! Don't need anymore, I still have to finish leveling my Patch.

    Both runs got me 1 green in the middle from a mission the unlocks once community fills the green bar. And 3 covers at the end. Resulting 2/1/1 then 4/2/2.

    More like top 1000, the first 300 just also gets a bonus ****.

    I like the visual of a united MPQ community joined in their effort on 'planning on crushing it'!!!

    They should rename the Hulk Token to Hawkeye Token because that is all I'm getting icon_neutral.gif

    I've had the two star Hawkeye at max covers for a while now. I would never pull his token after that, in the last week I think I could have made another maxed cover Hawkeye with all of his covers I've pulled...I guess it's better than pulling my 10,000th 1 star cover. And a least the ISO bump is a plus.

    No BP covers. Boo. 2 purple OBW, green Thor and Red Punisher covers for me. Least that's my first green thor I've had since respec went live.

    I've never liked Modern Hawkeye. Early on I started building one, but I was so unimpressed by his stats that I sold him off. About halfway through the first Hunt I'd sold another full Hawkeye worth of colors, so I figured I should break down and build one. I needed like 2 more covers after that event, both of which I got from that Punisher-exclusive Hulk board that paid off in Hawkeyes.

    I could have built a lifesize replica of Hawkeye out of his covers by now.
