    Brigby, can we get an update to the Weekly Buffs section today (for the week starting this Thursday, 12/22)?

    And could you verify with Demiurge if the weekly buffs will apply to the Galactus Hungers event that starts Thursday? Boss events usually have their own boosted lists... if it does differ and we can get the buffed character list for Galactus in advance too that would be awesome.

    ... and the rewards scheme for Galactus Hungers?

    ... and confirm whether Galactus Hungers will have alliance progressions, as on all previous runs of Galacatus Hunger, or will it have been "Boss Rushed" into a solo event?

    ... and please describe any other changes made to the Galactus Hungers event design, if any? It's been awhile since we all took a hard stare from the man in the purple hat ...

    EDIT to add PS -- 5 or 10 XP for each win vs a boss would be a nice touch. These are "Story" mode events, so no XP unless rewards are exhausted on a node, including the boss node? Or any XP at all?
    icon_eek.gif I'll update it with as much information as I have

    4* - Venom (Agent Venom), Iceman, Iron Man (Hulkbuster), Nick Fury, Peggy Carter

    It's going to be a bloodbath! Iceman and HB everywhere. Not sure if it is worth swapping out HB for Peggy. Her blue is less useful with Iceman, but then again, stopping enemy Iceman with her yellow will be really important. Maybe climb with Iceman and HB and swap out HB for Peggy around 500.

    Do we know which event is after The Hunt?
    Because...I really need that Ghost Rider green in progression, and if it's a non-standard PvE I might cry...


    Galactus Hungers (December 22)
    Unstable Iso-8 (December 25)


    idk which will have Thanos release. but most likely Galactus.

    Welp, looks like I might end up missing out on that Ghost Rider cover then 8I

    Thank you for posting the required essentials. Thats really helpful information especially since scl8 players can't see the next 2* essential prize. These are great little tweaks that makes the post much more informative in a central location

    Agreed. Getting the info here in the sneak peeks is fantastic and great comms.

    As an FYI: the Event threads always include rewards for each CL. So The Hunt thread you can check the lower levels for 2 star.png rewards.

    If I understand your question, you should know that not everyone faces the same level of opposition. Someone with a level 15 roster theoretically faces opponents as difficult for them as the fights your roster faces for you.

    BTW, "Crash of the Mad Titan" is a fantastic play on "Crash of the Titans".

    Glad you find it helpful! We've been working with Demiurge on how to improve communication with you guys, as well as taking ideas and suggestions from players, so it's great to hear you all enjoy these additions.

    Apologies. It appears that person was a spammer who posted tinypic links redirecting viewers elsewhere. Thank you for your willingness to help them though!

    Yep. Punisher MAX is the Galactus prize. Therefore, PunMAX is progression in ISO 8. Oh well. (Could be wrong, but that should be how it plays.)

    Powered up star.pngstar.pngstar.pngstar.pngicon_punisher.png is nice, especially considering those 3 covers from Galactus plus the Double ISO means he will be champed in a few days for me icon_e_biggrin.gif
