Unless someone decides to ninja in a new hero without me looking, you get an Event off from a new one this time around. Current plans are for Captain America (Steve Rogers)/Thor (Modern) for the 3* and Hawkeye (Modern)/Storm (Classic) for the 2*.

Hey, Ice, what happened? Our whole alliance has been looking forward to round 2 Thor rewards, and here's Cap again!

I think we might've misunderstood Ice in this - it might mean

Current plans are for Captain America (Steve Rogers) OR Thor (Modern)

So.... is there any difference between the first round and this round?

Clearly ninja related shenanigans, I mean. He said ninjas could play a role. This pve is now slightly less awful because it's been meddled with by a ninja

Yeah, this round is going to be twice as boring and painful.

I'm pretty sure this will be the fastest I've ever completed max covers for a character. Assuming all goes well in this round.

Do y'all think I should run through all of the missions right now or wait until the morning when they get some more points on 'em?

If I do them all right now I can do them all again in 12 hours, but they aren't worth anything right now.

Wait until the final two hours of the PVE and save yourself some pain.

What's the opposite of a fist pump? That while yelling 'No!' was my reaction. I already know I won't have any shot at all of getting into the top 20 to get 2 Covers, so I'll just try to get into the Top 100 to get my LazyCap to 2/3/1. What build are people going for with LazyCap?

I guess I'll do the opening Missions to get the Power Boost thing for later.

Been playing this game for over 160 days - this is by far the worst event. Has anyone been encourages to put ISO into their bagman? This the first event where he m i g h t be helpful if leveled, but since we only have two choices to hang with HT, he is not even an option.

devs saying "here's more Lazy Cap covers - go tinykitty yourself!" for second round. Not that I mind... I can take it easier by just aiming for Top 50 finish to complete a 3/5/5 build. Not keen on progression token as so far I got 3 Bagmans from the tokens, so yeah, my RNG luck suck.

But do you think I'll get enough points to get a cap cover from each event?
I tried to play the last one every 12ish hours and I got top 25 and top 50.

Yeah, the round 1/2 events have always had the same rewards for each round with different ends times so more players have a shot at that one set of rewards.

Easily.
I started Normal with my PC alt last night with 10 hours to go and got about the same points I got with my main account - where I had played "optimally" for three days.
So if you're not shooting for top 2 - just enter extremely late and save yourself the hassle.
Of course depends on whether you can handle the community scaling.

I made mine 355. I don't think anyone that cares about you will suggest any other build.

I feel ya'. I already played a couple of the normal missions, but the past three days were so painful.
Towards the end my 92 Pyslocke and 85 A. Wolv couldn't handle the hard mission's scaling.
Thanks for your input!

Thank Thor he's not the prize in the second round and it's just a carbon copy of the first! This Venom Heroic has been taxing enough as it is. So much drama involved (lost my HT halfway the event, had to spend all ISO to BP and 1* Storm, etc.) that I don't care to repeat the experience all over again.

I'll just jump in the wagon halfway and minimize the grinding.

So how did SHIELD manage to do those wins? I didn't see them in top 10 in either event until the last day and they somehow made it top in both. Tell us your ways so we don't have to do another 3 days of this ****! enter with 24 hours left? This is just an iso boost to me at this point with all the same rewards.

Let the peasants grind and rubber band to victory....
