How come there aren't Heroic versions of every story?

Like, the heroics are only from the prologue tab but there could also be like Heroic the hunt or Heroic iso8 brotherhood or Heroic enemy of the state
I think it would be interesting way to tell a specific story like what if captain America got brainwashed in enemy of the state instead and it was about a special team to get him back. Do you think I should make a suggestion?

    Why would people want Heroic versions of every story? barf icon_cry.gif

    I like heroics, but a 7 day long one? No thank you.

    heroics are PVE versions of parts of the prologue

    The cumulative frustration of locked rosters might melt the forum servers icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Why don't you use your imagination and make each event a heroic. Pretend your brain is an app icon_e_wink.gif

    The better question is, why are there heroics at all? Harder for no better rewards.

    Just limit oneself to the powered up characters, that's what a heroic event is anyway.

    Scaling already makes each PVE a Heroic event, except with an even smaller useable roster.

    Hey, you know what? I'm for it. Force me to use the guys on my roster who aren't champed 5*s.

    It wouldn't work. The point of Heroics is to take a short prologue chapter, divide it and add lots of missions in order to make a 3-day long event. Other PVes are already like that, so the only thing that would change is the roster restriction, making the event artificially harder and more repetitive for no additional rewards, let alone fun.

    Could you imagine a Heroic Venom Bomb where the 4*s included are like Mr F, IW, Wasp and Spider Woman? If you got 4 clears in, you'd probably be #1...

    Personally, I am not a huge fan of the Heroics. Mostly, due to the lack of cohesion of the characters that are unlocked. However, it could be an idea to add a Heroic Mode to all PVE events...basically, a hardcore mode & another way for those at higher progression to get even better rewards.
    Could result in high-level players leaving the standard event & clearing up the top 10 - 50 for players that don't quite have the roster to move to hardcore.

    Okay.

    Use your 4* characters.

    Although I don't quite like the limited roster, scaling for me always seems better on heroics (I'm in the 4* transition). So I'm okay with it.

    I guess I got confused everyone.
    I thought that there could be a special version of the story where its like they changed the story to use different charcters and that's why its heroic because you have to use those characters to make a team.

    Sorry.

    I think the better question is why isn't there 3 day versions of every story?

    No more 7 days events!

    I still don't get why the 5* players didn't just softcap maxed 5's until the tier was more fleshed out.

    I know champing is tempting but locking the rest of the game away probably sucks.

    Because at the time we started leveling & champing our 5s, PVE scaling was still locked at 325.
    The unlocking of the levels came - unsurprisingly - once enough people had 450s and started to dominate PVE.

    Also, we wanted to use our shiny toys in PVP.
