    Not a question for daywalker but why does the buff list look so much different than the weekly buff list? Where is GR, Hulkbuster, and iceman???

    It may just be me, but it appears rounds are unlocked based on individual progress this time, not alliance progress. If this is right, no need to cannibalize alliances into super alliances unless you really want to fight for that top 100 alliance mo storm reward. May even be good to go with small alliances for the mo stotm from 1st place within the alliance.

    Isn't that a bug? How will anyone clear later rounds unless they drastically lowered the health?

    Why are the points always so screwy in these things?

    I've done the boss twice and two pins...and there's 553 points remaining for this round...and no-one in my alliance seems to want to do the boss because it's a waste.
    Why is it set up so we have this silly remaining point score? I can beat the boss, earn 6000 points but 5447 of them are wasted.

    There are 3 bosses per wave, which will probably help individuals clear later rounds. Rounds are individual, so no one else in your alliance is going to finish the last 500 pts for you. Excess points from beating a boss roll over into your next round progress.

    It looks like excess damage is being carried over into the next round. I took the last hit on round 1, the counter went down and looked like it reset to max and continued going down, and I started round 2 with reduced health, so actually no points are wasted, you still end up bringing down round 2's health using round 1's points

    This boost list is SO DISAPPOINTING. I just got done using Kingpin for a whole week. I DON'T WANT TO USE HIM ANYMORE. Where is Iceman? HB? Seriously?

    Good thing Kingpin and XFW work so well together. Oh wait, no they don't. At all.

    they sure arent making a big deal of it. not even giving details on the bosses. icon_redface.gif

    Agreed. That plus the weak rewards, it seems kind half assed. icon_neutral.gif Most of my alliance wasn't even aware of it till I called it out.

    I'm disappointed that we can't get xp from anything but 8 clears of the boss node. We won't be able to do that until very late rounds.

    So you took one of the best bits about boss events, the co-operative aspect, and got rid of it, eh?
    Sure there are times that it was irritating if folks weren't pulling their weight, but it pulled us together, and it was good for my grinding like mad to help others get covers they couldn't otherwise reach (and in some cases which I couldn't use).

    Maybe the tiny tidbit that this was NOT going to be an alliance event could have been just a little bit better communicated?

    Cause the whole playerbase assumed it would follow the format of... every other boss event so far.

    I know the devs have problems with communication, but this is a pretty monumental mishap.

    Already almost wiping round two? Already not having fun. Also some of the boss abilities don't trigger c4ge passive. ****?

    Yep now I am locked in. I don't want to play this as it's not an alliance event, the very aspect pulling together I loved about these events. Now I am locked in with an alliance in an event I don't want to play but have to as the alliance want the score and I don't want to look a ****.

    Terrible terrible comms. Thanks for ruining a weekend!

    Worst boss event yet, congratulations. Shove your peggys.

    I got through 2nd round easy. Got to finish the last node and got stomped by Final Boss Ultron.

    Personal progression only? You're not even working with your alliance to clear the bosses? What. the. tinykitty?! icon_evil.gif

    Yeah I won't be slogging through this for long.

    EDIT: It hurts / helps that I have neither Winter Soldier nor Wasp (2 of the only 3 4* I don't have), so I'm locked out of 2 of the 5 nodes. Easy decision. Middle finger to this.

    Yeah I noticed about 5 minutes after my post that that was the case. Also as said above it seems progression is personal and not alliance-wide.
