Greetings,

Here's new details from Demiurge regarding a few changes in the upcoming run of Meet Rocket & Groot:
    "
Changes to Rocket & Groot

• This Story event does not have S.H.I.E.L.D. Clearance Levels. Future runs of this event will have Clearance Levels.

• Starting in this event, we would like to better define the score to achieve progression rewards.
    o The 3-Star Progression reward will take approximately two clears of each mission. o The top Progression reward will take approximately four clears of each mission. o We will be attempting something similar for S.H.I.E.L.D. Clearance Levels."


Thank you.

    Thank you.

    Better score definition is much appreciated.

    Will there be a 4* progression reward in MR&G?

    The featured character is Mr. Fantastic, so do you really want one?

    Between the rebalancing efforts and the fact that my Mr. Fantastic is 3/1/3, yes. Yes, I do.

    Well yeah, because he might be next for the buff hammer.

    I understand how implementating CL for a new character can be a challenge but why couldn't the new 4* be awarded for the following:

    CL 7: T150
    CL 6: T100
    CL 5: T50
    CL 4: T25
    CL 3: T10
    CL: 1 & 2: T5

    Or something similar. The scaling doesn't change so most players won't try lower CL levels. I would have preferred an attempt to try CL for a new character than not bothering at all. Now I'm stuck competing with lower level players who do not need the new 4*. That was the whole purpose of CLs.

    It would have been great to get s special Cage event similar to Cho and Ant-Mams release so we can keep CL in PvE intact.

    Thank you David. is this applicable to events with 2 days subs as well? So just 4 clears for the 2 days sub for max progression, or more required?

    Does this mean MR&G is a release event? I'll miss SCL, but I don't mind doing a normal release event so we've got more SCL events under our belt before we try an SCL release event.

    I like this idea and hope we see something similar to it. I expect new releases to be brutal in higher SCLs. I suppose the upside is that the PvE after new releases, should have the new the new 4* as a progression reward in SCL 7.

    Will there be different brackets for this event, or will players of all levels get thrown in together?

    Thanks for making a statement on this matter, it is good for there to be actually be a clear target for those who only target max progression rather than the guesswork that there is now.

    Which reminds me that many releases are followed by a Heroic. And I face the horrible realization that I may be forced to play a Heroic story. icon_evil.gif

    I guess that also means the rewards will demote back to how they were before then. Lots of ISO missing over the next week.

    What I reeeeeally want to know is whether the new character will be available as a progression reward in the event after R&G for SCL7 players, following the pattern of the last few events.

    It would be really really great to know that in advance.

    You started with Clearance Level events before figuring out how to handle release events with clearance levels?

    That's .. actually not unexpected.
