    Can we have more details on the boss battle please? Is it a re-run of Ultron/Galactus/CW or something new? What will the rewards be?
    I suspect that if they wanted us to know, they would have told us.
    That was kind of rude. No harm in asking and he did so politely.

    We are 48 hours out from the event starting and no details. Commanders need info to get the alliance in order.

    Hmm... IF that were a Mephisto boss battle, it wouldn't require as much work on their part. Art skins, and a power set for Mephisto, but the essential nodes could just do the "demons posing as whoever" thing again without needing new minions/goons (that, let's face it, would have super annoying powers).

    Though I think if they were going to have a Mephisto boss battle, they would have run Hearts of Darkness again just before it.

    It was meant as a bit of levity, but I can see how it could be considered rude in retrospect. My apologies to anyone who took offense.

    What's with everyone always assuming World War Hulk, no matter how explicit the hints are about something totally different? O.o

    Just wishful thinking for new content? :p

    No new character preview is interesting. Hearts of Darkness would be the potential release event, but maybe they just decided Peggy and Bruce were enough for July...

    Ugh, That feeling when you've been waiting months for a Red Hulk redflag.png cover to be the 1000k progression in PVP, only to find out it'll be during a Balance of Power event. Puke.

    Thick as Thieves after Ultron, the Hood/Mag node is going to be interesting with the level cap removed

    Nothing new there. I wish they'd go with Ms Marvel instead of Captain Marvel, at least you can Divebomb her whenever you want.

    David and others, can you please send a message to whoever picks the 4* boosted on a weekly basis to provide some kind of randomness to it?

    JG and X23 boosted at the same time is just frustrating and discourages the very thing that we are encouraged to be doing, trying out different roster combinations. How? Fine, happens once - but last time was exactly the same boosted pair. Mix it up!

    UPCOMING WEEKLY BUFFS
      (07/21/16 - 07/27/16) 4* - Ant-Man, Jean Grey, Thor, X-23 3* - Beast, Colossus, Cyclops, Mystique, Psylocke 2* - Bullseye, Storm 1* - Spider-Man, Venom

    Are you sure about that 4* Buff for Thor and Antman? Because the Black Vortex PVP does not have them buffed. Also many of the other buffs for the lower stars are not there as well.

    Black Vortex is an off-season event, it uses its own buff list instead of the weekly buffs. The list was in effect for Most Wanted and now for Thick as Thieves.

    Off-Season PvPs have their own buff lists outside of the weekly buffs. As the best example, in the next PvP (Balance of Power), everyone is buffed to 550.

    Oof, that is going to be a rough week of boosts for 4* transitioners.
