    Holy ****, Combined Arms? Last played over a year ago? Will it still be 1, 2, 3 star or is it 2, 3, 4 star now?

    Very exciting!

      (10/20/2016) Sentry The Punisher Blade Wolverine Human Torch Required: Sam Wilson (Captain America)

    I can't seem to find the thread, but I thought I recalled that they were going to tone down the opponent for 4* Sam Wilson. Am I completely making that up or did they say they were doing that?

    Yep, found here: Deadpool's Daily Quest: Crash Of The Titans Adjustments

    They also mentioned they were toning down Jean Grey's crash, but that last fight against Moonstone didn't feel toned down (although that may just be me; can't say for certain cover levels for each crash)

    actually not a bad list for use in a heroic. no real cd control (2cap maybe but mine hasn't sprouted on the farm yet this season) but im40 with options for the ap in xpool, peggy and pun. and decent 3* abilities for the ap too with torch and daredevil.

    at least this heroic has CLs and blade in progression. that's a huge step forward. if they force heroics, make them worth a dern. with no CL and no 4 in progression, sure, there was very little reason to subject yourself to it sometimes. I don't look forward to the next heroic with susan, reed, and Elektra boosted. this one works on many levels with im40 and a good 4* group.

    4* pvp (Ghost Rider) that isn't for a new release - is it for Halloween or are we finally moving to 4* pvp?

    That'll be the event that starts on Sunday 10/30 and ends Wednesday 11/2, so if I was a betting man, I'd wager it's just a Halloween special.

    (10/27/16 - 11/02/16)
    4* - Carnage, Invisible Woman, Luke Cage, War Machine
    3* - Blade, The Hood, The Hulk, The Punisher, Vision
    2* - Steve Rogers, Thor
    1* - Hawkeye, Iron Man

    Yikes... get ready to see a lot of OML & Phoenix... Out of the boosted 4*: 1 hurts your team constantly, baglady, a character that was released not even a month ago and War Machine, the definition of average. Welp.

    Luke Cage shouldnt be powered-up already since he's that new, can we get someone that not only the whales can use?

    Based on the standard 4* buff rotation (documented here), this was expected to be an underwhelming week, as it should have been Carnage, IW, War Machine and Miles Morales. They just rotated in Luke Cage in place of Miles, and a new character joining now is not out of the ordinary. New 4*s have entered into the weekly 4* rotation approximately 4 weeks after their PVP event -- this is slightly less than 4 weeks (Cage's event ended 10/2) but fairly close to that. It's been that way since I started tracking the 4* buff rotation.

    As one of my alliance mates also pointed out, EoTS is not known for being one of the easier events either. That's gonna be a grind for us PVE folks. At least we get a 4 star.pngicon_cyclops.png out of it.
