    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.

    Why couldn't we just have a Halloween Special PVP called "Trick or Quit" where all Halloween related characters are boosted and we still see OML and Phoenix (e.g. Best Friends Forever, Valentines Day) icon_lol.gif

    Although Green Goblin would likely be used a lot if that type of event if you actually have him.

    Boss Rush? Never heard of it. (Said all the red names. Or didn't say. You know what I mean.)

    :edit: And anyway, I was talking about PvP; as far as I know, we've never had 4* events back-to-back.

    If we count Class of 2016 as a 4star PVP (and it was, considering no 3-star or lower character was boosted), then we had. I think it was between the Devil Dino and the Gwenpool event.

    Yeah, there are just SO MANY of them, right?
    At least twice a year, apart from the regular ones after a new release.

    Terrible 4* boost week for the first week of november.

    Carnage is awful for grinding.

    Iw is very weak in pvp

    Luke cage is barely 4 weeks old. Much too soon.

    War machine is ok, but stull uncovered for most players, and too slow to be a pvp mainstay.

    I like having a boost for my champ carnage. At least it gets some use now.

    Carnage got sneakily nerfed when CCs were removed. He used to be the perfect shield hopping cc eater because you only needed to get 7 red and a some other power to go off to beat the cc team.

    A maxed carnage is still good on defense, but for grinding it is true that I will probably use some other characters to get the points in.

    Carnage sucks on defence.
    Get one OML black off, watch the whole enemy team kill themselves.

    Sure, he's weak against the 5* tier but so is 95% of the 4* tier.

    Boosted he can about three-quarter shot most of the unboosted 4* tier (and 1/4 the other two members), which lots of people will run w/o any quality beyond him in the tier. That makes him scary enough.

    No update on that event that starts in 6 days?

    Yes it'll be November but I'm excited!

    You'll get it at the usual time, either 6 hours before it starts or when the event screen goes live.
    After the fiasco that was Boss Rush my excitement is severely limited.

    Given the event start time (lines up with a typical event slice 1) you can assume it's a regular-style PvE with a new storyline.

    So, it'll be like Hearts of Darkness probably. Probably awards 3* Strange.

    That's about all the info we'd get anyway. Remember, new events always means "Guess the Rules!"

    Hey, we might also get some screenshots that turn out to be wrong.
