    getting rid of the co-op part of boss fights is soooo lame. that was the best part of them.

    The boss levels are definitely rising too fast. Ultron matches in round 3 are already triggering Red Hulk passive, and bomb did at least 9000 damage (I didn't look at the description, but CHulk had 9K+ health when he died). Why is the difficulty spiking so fast? Rounds 4-5 should be starting to feel harder, then we should be actually fighting in round 6, where the real prizes are.

    Wow, not sure how I'm meant to beat Bruce Banner with 14K health, Green Goblin with 18K health and Ultron with 27K health with my largely 3* roster. Its only round 3 as well!!!

    I dont see me playing this event for long.

    I think I would have preferred a regular event just so I could take advantage of double Iso.

    These boss events never get any Iso and there isn't much to do while we wait for the refresh timers.

    (Also scaling is already rising really fast into Round 3...please look into fixing this.)

    Wow, I hate to pile onto the negativity here, but I'm not too excited about this event. I desperately need more Anniversary tokens so I can win the highly elusive icon_devildino.pngpurpleflag.png , so only being able to win 3 is pretty sad. Also all the alliances got very excited and organized, only to find out... we're just competing for one-time placement rewards... for a 3* cover???? And scaling gets mad crazy in round 3???? So by tomorrow we'll be dying immediately????

    I definitely enjoyed the previous boss events better. Remember, prizes need to match the challenge! Don't make us use healthpacks like crazy so that we can win... 3* covers icon_e_confused.gificon_e_confused.gificon_e_confused.gificon_e_confused.gif

    My game crashed as soon as loaded my last attempted at the boss node, so I lost an attempt and don't have alliance scores to fall back on. C'mon guys.

    Answer is simple:
    Don't play the event & don't spend any more $$$
    Don't reward devs for broken product.

    on the bright side you can quit playing whenever you feel like it and it really doesnt hurt your alliance like in past boss fight.

    see, theres a bright side to everything. icon_e_biggrin.gificon_e_biggrin.gificon_e_biggrin.gif thanks d3.

    Dragon _nexus I know that you don''t like this phrase but :
    WE ARE REALLY SUPPOSED TO LOSE! icon_mad.gif

    by the way, this anniversary season, other than the double iso, sucks!
    It' s very sad..... I think that all the playerbase (the majority at least) was waiting this anniversary with great expectations and now...... tinykitty icon_redface.gificon_rolleyes.gificon_redface.gif

    I'd been enjoying the Anniversary so far... cover maxed my Dino 4/4/5... pulled all the LT's from my Anniversary Vault, was hoping for 1 more Dino so I can champ him and get the LT... played each event enough to get all the Anniversary Tokens from them, even bought a 10 pack with stored HP.

    But then this event came around. Touted as a Boss Event, similar to the other but with a few differences, instead of fighting 1 boss every time, you had to fight 3 bosses every time! Yay! This really forces you to rely on your alliance to help you out because with the likelihood of you not surviving in later rounds, maybe your better equipped or luckier Alliance mates will help with their scores... but wait there's more!! Your alliance mates DON'T help you out... not because they don't want to, they CAN'T help you! That's right folks! You get to fight 3 bosses in a wave node, and you get to do it ALONE (in your alliance)!

    You asked for it (didn't you?), so we gave it to you (in more ways than one)!

    Happy Anniversary!!!

    It says in the OP from HiFi that "win or lose, you contribute points to the boss". Which, to me, means it's the same as all other alliance based events. So I'm thinking this is just a glitch. That it was supposed to be a regular, everyone working together, boss battle, but somehow messed up and is now individual based. I don't think Demi would make an event with scaling like this one for individual play. There is just no way that lower level rosters can beat the higher levels on their own.

    It may be too late to fix this, but I would suggest to play as much as you can and see what happens. You never know. Demiurge might surprise us.

    And if they wanted to be really nice, they could compensate everyone by sending everyone 3 Peggy covers and some iso.

    No offence, but this is second anniversary when things go haywire. I personally am starting to lose trust with D3...

    I'm right there with you. The scaling seems stupid. This after a PVP that's only for people with 4-star and 5-star characters from the last year. Happy Anniversary, the Rich get Richer! My random Anniversary vault was garbage. The events were terrible (and didn't even have SHIELD clearance levels). What a huge disappointment. I was honestly excited about Boss Rush, too.

    This event is pretty terrible so far, and I say that after only playing through one full clear. Scaling is already through the roof for me, too, and it's only Round 3. There's no way I can go any further with my roster when the bosses already have roughly 20k health on average while I'm using a champed 3 star team. And the reward for fighting all of my alliance members and somehow winning would be a Mohawk Storm? Seriously?

    Not that it matters, though, because I somehow have less points than the rest of my alliance despite a full clear.

    Reposting here since the topic got locked:

    I know people have complained about PvP and lack of SCL, but this is the first real misstep of anniversary for me.

    While going through Boss Rush I've been recording rough numbers because they seemed ridiculous. I'm not sure if personal scaling is a factor, but even if it is... (It does seem to be, and my numbers aren't even the highest)

    Comparing this to previous Boss events it's actually insane.

    R1:
    Ultron - 4k HP
    Cap - 4k HP
    IM46 - 6k HP
    TOTAL - 14k HP

    R2:
    Banner - 10k HP
    IM46 - 10k HP
    Ultron - 15k HP
    TOTAL - 35k HP

    R3:
    Banner - 17k HP
    Goblin - 26k HP
    Ultron - 33k HP (and 16k bombs!)
    TOTAL - 67k HP

    Civil War HP
    R1: 6,122
    R2: 9,100
    R3: 12,000
    R4: 14,939
    R5: 19,289
    R6: 28,402
    R7: 41,868
    R8: 61,213

    On R3 of this new event bosses are already approaching R6/R7 level of health, and there's already a grand total of health higher than R8 of CW. I shudder to think what scaling is going to look like in later rounds.

    Not to mention that fighting three of these things back to back comes with several complications that vastly increase difficulty:
      Bosses like Banner will generate a ton of AP, better hope that no one else in the wave can use it. Letting a Boss match other colors no longer matters, since chances are that another Boss can use that AP. Bosses like Ultron favor very different team combinations and strategies compared to someone like IM46.

    Oh and on top of all of that progression is entirely personal so alliance members can't even work towards round goals together.

    I really liked the idea of this event, but so far it's looking absolutely miserable.
