    DP v MPQ for a release again? That event was used for Carol

    It is actually nice for new releases, since its two 2 day subs, which cuts down on the end of sub grinding.

    Except for the part that covers are going to be decided by score differences in the single digits.

    TBD *New Update*

    It's getting renamed to "The Brigby Daily" Since the forumites are screaming out for more regular contact, they're scrapping the DPD and replacing it with a @Brigby daily comment in game!

    Yup! Instead of DP Tacos, we'll now earn Brigby Buck$.. 500 item vaults for everyone!! icon_razz.gif

    Could you clarify? I'm not sure how that's different than for any new character release, no matter the event type or sub lengths. It always comes down to single digits in such cases, as you have people going as optimal as they can, for themselves and so their alliance might crack top 100 too.

    Every sub in an event is an opportunity to differentiate your score and also increases the margin of error. In DP v MPQ, that margin narrows significantly and affects lower placement bands.

    In a four sub event, you can have a minor hiccup and recover, or at least not plummet.

    Granted, the slice and CL you play in can adjust the sliders, as can the placement you are attempting to achieve.

    As the rewards for Deadpool vs MPQ are Coulson, 3 Punisher and 2 Magneto, will they be the required characters for the next PvE, Venom Heroic?

    Iceman and hulkbuster , both of which I have chsmped yahoo !

    Looks like we have lost out on a free quake cover , feel like that should have been the reward for completing gauntlet

    Agreed. Every aspect of the rewards for the gauntlet needs to be adjusted. My quake is at 2/5/5. I was really hoping to get a green cover and champ her. The vault isn't cooperating either with her green cover sitting there.

    Would like to know this as well - the unrestricted heroic was a test I think - what are we getting on an ongoing basis now?

    Good question! I've just sent out an email to the developers. I'll update this post when I get a response back.

    Update: While character restrictions for Heroics is by no means permanent, the Venom: Heroic event will not have character restrictions. The developers are currently exploring other options on what to do with Heroics. Hope that helps!

    Restrictions or no restrictions. I'm struggling to come up with other options. Oh, maybe Schrödinger's Restrictions? You won't know until you enter the event.

    as someone without the 5* scaling that influences high-roster players to like the restrictions, I also like the restrictions as a forced reason to play different characters than normal. and to promote a wide roster. if its ever up for a vote or if feedback gets somewhere, my feedback is that heroic roster restrictions are a positive.

    For what is worth, i like Heroics restricted. Otherwise it's just another Pve event where people use the same characters for every node. Heroics reward a good roster and provide some diversity at the same time.

    Brigby, the progression awards for Rags PvP and Thor PvP are the same.
