Hi,

Apologies for the short notice. We wanted to let you know that, due to the need for some additional testing, the first Versus event featuring S.H.I.E.L.D. Clearance Levels has been delayed from this Sunday to Thursday, September 22nd.

When I receive additional info. I'll add it here. Thank you.

    Thanks for the update.

    Since the first event will now be a season event, can we expect to get details before the event goes up in-game?

    No worries. Thank you for the communication. I'm enjoying the additional progression rewards for scl 7 and looking forward to learning what we'll get for scl 7 for pvp.

    His massive hair loss is due to the fact that he reads the forums.

    While it's nice that you test this some more - why not test in the off-season and get some player feedback?

    Implementing this in the first PVP of the season will only give you feedback on the lower roster players, because high level players will go to double max progression regardless of rewards anyway.

    Doing a test run in Divine Champions would have been perfect.

    I fear the jaundice indicates liver damage. I know I read the forums sometimes and just go, "Man, I need a drink."

    It's fine that we miss it in off-season. I rarely get more than around 400 points anyway.. offseason is hard to score well in, unless you want to invest in numerous shields.

    That was the point.

    If players score higher due to better rewards ---> rewards are good enough.

    Meh. If they had "tested" during the off season all you would hear is "yeah, but it's off season, so who knows what this means for season events....."

    Not to mention BoP incoming. You won't learn anything testing during BoP.

    Props for delaying this and taking the time to make sure it works correctly. Personally I'd much rather have a smooth release of new features than have them rushed out and glitchy.

    The updated message says exactly the same as the original message. The new system is supposed to start tomorrow and we still don't have any new info. Will there be some details coming out today?

    My vote would be the season pops up before the devs upload what PVP clearence levels will look like.
