    One thing I'll add - if they went ahead and slightly fixed Modern Hawkeye, allowing him to pick targets for his countdown tiles (and allowing overwrite, a la Cap), he'd be a fixture of my team this tournament, at least in goon nodes. As it is, even though I've got him fully covered, and leveled to 60, I doubt I'll use him at all.

    He'd work really well like that. Shouldn't have AP return like Cap does, though. Wouldn't make sense for the character. Boomerang arrows aren't a thing ( yet).

    No, I agree. Not arguing for identical powers, just a tweak to his existing ones.

    So wait, you're suggesting that one of the most accurate archers ever should actually be able to pick his target? How novel.

    My Hawkeye has been fully covered since my 2nd month, I feel, and I never leveled him past 40. I think when Lazy Daken gets released, I might use the ISO from that event to bring Hawkeye up to 85. It's either that or level Spidey past 90. Neither option feels good, though.

    Well, I for one am looking forward to the comic packs for this event: BP, Psyke, AND HT in one grouping? I'll spend some HP!

    What a good point you've made. I might be tempted to try my luck. Although the risk of winning BagMan might be TOO DAMN HIGH.

    Already have a 5/3/5 Psylocke and 4/4/5 BP, can't see myself splurging on tokens for a shot at HT. Might just drop some of my stockpiled hero points on HT anyway, just enough so that he'll hit 5/3/5 within the inevitable two events rewarding him over the next two weeks.

    Only if you left it below 5. Some people may not have cared how they specced their Bagman, but some others may have actually read how the skills level up.


    Since the token slots have yet to spit out a 5th yellow I need to spend 500 hp on BAGMAN to spec him correctly??? icon_eek.gif

    You know, that makes me think - we saw the breakdown of how many HPs were spent on what part of the game - I'd love to see it broken down further and see how much HP has been spent per character (and if any of that is, say, Bagman).

    I actually like M Hawkguy for events like this, So much so that I fully leveled him to 85.

    Now for PvP, he is not horible, but I have much better.

    Any ideas when this event is supposed to go live? Thought it would happen at noon EST.

    Also feel like I keep checking in over and over waiting for an event that is absolutely going to crush my soul.
    Just me?

    I think you would be better served buy 10x of the starter hero packs than you would be buying a targeted cover for Bagman, at least you could make 1000 ISO off of selling back to hawkeye and MBW covers, versus no return on investment on upgrading Bagman

    Something that just occurred to me for when this is running:

    Boosted Human Torch + Psylocke vs. H.A.M.M.E.R. Snipers is going to be awesome. Steal a bunch of green to power your depletion CD tile.

    The ability to compete in this event had best not be dependent on the 'correct' Bagman spec.

    One day when I'm old, rich and wise, I might afford having a perfectly built Bagman. But tonight I'm young, poor and stupid. Let's party!

    Having a level 85 Bagman on your roster is a good way to end up reported as a cheater because, honestly, who in their right mind would do that?

    Some one who feels really bad for the poor guy.

    I would do that if I had leveled everyone else already, but then I deliberately keep my mBW at 2/5 and Venom at 5/4... Speaking of Venom... The event hasn't started yet but there are 10 pages here, I can imagine some future MPQ historians slogging through this. Hi from the past by the way. Hope you're not as bored as me, future person.

    Someone in my alliance has a lv85 bagman.

    Also. I'm getting pve event withdrawals. When is this event starting?

    Me too! In shield training of all places... I was a bit confused but then I saw their roster and realized they must have leveled him while he was buffed before they knew any better. How disappointing would that be?
