Most excellent! An improvement over last year, and looks to be lots of good stuff to do while I take breaks from Christmas shenanigans.

Though I would ask.

What exactly does that mean?

matthatter

It. looks. awesome!!

One question:

• Crash of the Mad Titan Mission
o 1 vs. 1 mission against 5-Star Thanos

Can you let us know ahead of time what level he will be at and how many covers he has? Just so I can determine how high my hopes will go?

But again - very excited! (Especially like how the boss event will reopen once advancing to the next level)

*edit*
I thought of another question. Will DDQ be suspended or will we have BOTH!?

cuz, that would be really cool. If we had both. very cool. yeah.

whycantwesyncpc

Wow, that is a lot of events all going on at the same time. I'm so not going to have time to play all of this.

fmftint

On Galactus side missions, are they going to scale out of control... again?

Insane side missions ARE NOT FUN

Dragon_Nexus

I like 99% of this!

I'm a bit miffed that the Ghost Rider cover that would have shown up in the next PvE event...doesn't appear to be a thing any more. Which is a shame cos that would have been the last one I needed ¬¬

But still, the rest of this looks really good!

Unfortunately I do not have information available pertaining to specific levels. Although the good news is...

a 5-day Thanos themed version of Deadpool's Daily Quest will run alongside the normal event.

...that yes, players will have both!

So will there be a naughty or nice vault and a Thanos crash vault? Or will there just be one special vault?

What the heck?!?

Double Iso-8 in SHIELD Intercept bonus rewards

This makes me angry. I'm already frequently reminded in chat about the huge daily rewards that we're not getting on Steam and now you want to give them an even bigger advantage?

Throw us a tinykitty bone...

Double Iso-8 in SHIELD Intercept bonus rewards

Any chance there's something in the works for PC Steam players?

I've been told that Shield Intercept bonuses are NOT insignificant especially in terms of your daily HP flow and doubling ISO will only further push that player base away from the smaller PC players.

We also miss out on the benefits of facebook rewards.

I realize PC Steam users make up a small fraction of your player base but it would be great to know that we haven't been forgotten. Doubling the rewards given out from daily re-supply for PC users only would likely compensate for lost rewards by platform. (You wouldn't have to double the covers given out of course). Anything that shows we matter even if they don't perfectly align with the mobile player base would be appreciated.

This gripe aside I appreciate the Holiday event details and look forward to getting my hands on Thanos

Argon Flame

Hey Brigby,
I am genuinely interested to find out how you fare through the Galactus event. Can you let us know if you enjoyed it and how far through your new roster can compete!
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

killerkoala

lol skip tax should be removed entirely and forever.

brigby do you have who will be buffed during galactus and also which characters will be the one used to open up boss nodes. we know the 3 featured characters.

"• Double Iso-8 in SHIELD Intercept bonus rewards" pc get screwed cause causewe don't get intercepts.



thx again for the information ahead of time.

Considering there are ONLY 4 4 villains, why not include all of them to avoid the inevitable "the excluded villain is the only one I need"

Thanks for the thorough communication brigby. You had almost all of us at "double iso"! But letting us view all 20 alliamce memebers in the boss events is a very nice bonus QoL improvement (especially with communal scoring).

Now if you could just do a quick redesign of thanos so he seemed like a worthy character to chase. . . (just kidding, i am all in for the punmax covers and double iso)

Koala: the galactus buff list is live in game.

Wolvie, bw, cyc, hulk, hawkeye, and spidey are all buffed at all star tiers (with a few exceptions. No rulk, no kate). Also 2* cap.

I am so ready to get my 3nos!

I see his 3* version is sans Infinity Gauntlet. I assume the Gauntlet will be the thing that bumps him up a couple ranks. XD

Dragon_Nexus

Actually...now I'm REALLY miffed that the featured 4* in Galactus is Ghost Rider, but there's no Ghost Rider in progression because there's no clearance levels.
Been waiting months for GR green to hit progression and when it's finally about to you remove the clearance levels. Boo =(

Maybe you'll get lucky and he'll be one of the 3 hero 4 s in the vault
