"Hey everyone, We're trying a bunch of new stuff with the initial run of Boss Rush and we appreciate hearing your thoughts. We'll look at our data to see how people did and combine that with the feedback to help improve future runs of the event. Thanks for playing the event, and keep the feedback coming!"

Thank you.

Only 3 Anniversary tokens for the entire event? That seems low. I'm hoping that, since you didn't list the rewards for beating the boss rush level, Anniversary tokens are in there.

Also, no 4 star covers at all in alliance progression at all is almost a slap in the face.

3 Strorm????
REALLY???

Are we back to year one where Storm was the default reward for everything?


I'll take my Peggy covers at progression and be done. Why push for alliance placement for Storm?

stochasticism

Do you have a boosted character list for the event?

I'm happy just for those Peggy covers! Just enough to get to 13 and champ her. The 3* Storm abundance is pretty useless though.

David, I believe alliance and personal progression rewards are the other way around

Yippee! Peggy!!! My level 250 3/5/4 will be very happy.

I see that missions get more difficult every 8 hours. Will we also have the traditional massive increase in difficulty after 24 hours?

* Supporting Character Missions
- Missions get more difficult every 8 hours

Just what everyone wanted and asked for!
I hope scaling will be as brutal as ever!

The worst boss rewards since ......

Captain marvel was an ultron prize in that random run.

Anniversary good will not already pissed away before this with the bugs and MMR in BFF now entirely gone. Wouldn't be MPQ without the smell of dashed hopes and fallen expectations

So for alliance rewards it will work like normal PVE top placing alliances?? One nice thing about boss battles was you were not competing against other alliances. For future put these rewards as alliance or personal progression. Not every event needs to be a competition.
Boss battles are special for alliances and having a competition between alliances does not make them more fun. It is actually more fun to feel like you beat the bosses as a team and were able to beat the same boss as stronger alliances. Good effort in trying to make it different, but future let us just play as a team on our own.

I dunno, Peggy is a pretty great 4* reward. Especially if her yellow is the lowest progression cover.

Great, no problems. Rewards are actually good, not sure why such civil unrest. I was hoping for peggy so am happy I got my wish.

Probably can't let it slip yet but will we get doctor strange vault for the second run. Please?

So in previous Boss events with the alliance rankings available, it was possible to chance the alliance leaderboard by swapping members out (this was seen when people would merc for PvP). If this is still true, then people will push for top placement in the locked leaderboard, then merc out for top alliance rewards.

Peggy rewards are awesome. Individual progression rewards are disappointing.

I'm really hoping that the boss battle is fun somehow and not the march through mud experience it kind of looks like.

*Alliance Placement*
1-2 - Storm (Mohawk) Yellow Cover, 5000 Iso-8, 100 Hero Points
3-10 - Storm (Mohawk) Yellow Cover, 5000 Iso-8, 50 Hero Points
11-25 - Storm (Mohawk) Yellow Cover, 3000 Iso-8, 100 Hero Points
26-50 - Storm (Mohawk) Yellow Cover, 2000 Iso-8, 50 Hero Points
51-100 - Storm (Mohawk) Yellow Cover, 1000 Iso-8, 25 Hero Points
101-250 - 1000 Iso-8, 25 Hero Points
251-50 - 500 Iso-8, 25 Hero Points
501-1000 - 500 Iso-8
1001-10000 - 250 Iso-8

And suddenly, the best part of this kind of event (progression only), is gone.

More rewards are great! To make put them in competition in-alliance and amongst alliances...not so great.

At least it's pretty garbage rewards. I dread to think of what this might grow into.

Maybe they're just testing placement for boss battles. Remember when Gauntlet had placement one time? It failed and we never saw it again

Yeah, I think the alliance placement rewards are garbage on purpose, because no top alliance is going to fight tooth and nail over those. And that's a good thing.


Also, the alliance placement and individual placement rewards both being bad should be seen in light of the fact that they didn't exist before in previous boss events. They're literally extra rewards added on top. I see nothing to complain about here, as having them be small lessens the desire to climb over other individuals/alliances.

EDIT: And thanks for Peggy. She's pretty much the most in-demand 4* right now. So I'm excited.

Agreed they have individual progression for a 2* and two 3*s, they should have had Gwenpool in progression too. The bosses will get harder so it's not like a 2* or low 3* player would reach the 4* progression.

Just wait until the last 24 hours when the minion wave nodes are 2v6 because the random undercovered 4* or 2* are completely useless. Now thats when the fun really starts!

Please D3, do not ruin another Boss event with awful minion node scaling. Please, I'm begging you.
