    Anyone else intrigued by the fact that, with a few exceptions, next week's boosted characters are all X-Men? Looks like they haven't ignored the release of Apocalypse after all. icon_razz.gif

    Oh look, Vision still running around with bugged blue and now he's gunna be buffed this week.

    yay for a character people only use when he's bugged (for like the 3rd time now).....

    Still have to ask though, are there any planned changes to Xforce, if not can you tell us why he was skipped?
    I mean it's not a big deal to me, either you will announce changes before his DDQ or the DDQ will get here without changes and my covers won't expire before then, but it would be nice to know if i need to continue saving my iso for xforce or if I can spend it on other things.

    He already said in another thread no XFW changes planned.

    Hi-Fi hadn't made that post when zulux21 asked his question.

    I'm wondering if all the boosted X-men means we might see Children of the Atom in the off-season. Boosted OML would be... interesting.

    What a terrible list of powered up 3*'s :/
    Cyclops is the only one I have championed.
    Also most of them were already powered up 2-3 weeks ago:
    Beast and Mystique on 05/05/16 – 05/11/16
    Cyclops and Psylocke on 05/12/16 – 05/18/16

    yeah, too bad they won't hardly be used in the offseason week with cw2 running. at best they'll be used in 1 pvp and maybe a heroic after cw2. looks like they swept them into a slot least beneficial for the group.

    The 3 stars are not only all X-Men, they're all actually in Apocalypse except Colossus. People wanted recognition of the movie? There you go.

    And Colossus was in Deadpool... And Jean Grey and Professor X were in Apocalypse too.

    Thick as Thief is a 4-day event, so it should start on Sunday.

    Hey Hi-Fi!

    Can you please let us know when War Machine's PVP will run? And if it's after the current week can you let us know who will be buffed for his event?

    I need to know which of my War Machine covers I should roster.

    Thanks!

    If we're lucky it's an off-season event. Seems more likely it will be the first event of the next season though.
    But can't you just roster all the covers?

    you can, but depending who is buffed, you might prefer the AI not have him as a choice for a strong power of a buffed character. this week thing is buffed, so if you had a choice, you might not want his red or green applied. that would guarantee if you built up enough on defense to use an ability, it'd be boosted thing over 1-cover WM. then you can use loaners to climb and put your 1-cover in for defense. probably doesn't make a huge difference, but I do it sometimes.

    Looks like War Machine's event will start season 28. Now if only we knew who the buffed characters will be ....

    Sorry, I don't have that info yet. Should be June and the June calendar is still a work-in-progress.
