    Obviously they're trying to correct the progression rewards for the lightning rounds before starting or people will complain....

    Would love to get a guaranteed green black widow before the end of this tourney but I doubt it...

    It would be nice to hear something official. We are now down 4 rounds for the week and after the screw up with the progression rewards for red iso it has not been a good week.
  • 5pm est has come and gone... Guess ill do some S.H.I.E.L.D. Training?

    Surely the situation isn't that desperate ^.~
  • Ahhhhhh.... They changed the dates for the lightning rounds.... The popup now says April 09-11

    Maybe it's that his usual method of tanking (the LRs) isn't here, so he's got to resort to tanking in S.H.I.E.L.D. Training? At least that's what I'm hoping.

    For emphasis.

    Well, better than losing 4-5 rounds, I suppose.

    Changed the thread title to reflect this. icon_e_sad.gif

    So.....when are the LR's starting? icon_mrgreen.gif
  • They've got enough 3* heroes for a second cycle of heroes - I don't suppose there's any chance of us seeing Black Panther, Daredevil, Human Torch, LazyCap, LazyThor, and Psylocke this time?
  • All those characters are incredibly new. To give them out in such large amounts so soon runs counter to a lot of their business principles and frankly would flood the market with new, cover-capped characters.

    Shhh. Let me have my dreams.
  • Umm... call me overly cynical as always, but...

    Due to an unanticipated back-end (non player facing) issue with the reward structures for this week's Events, we have pushed back the start and end dates of all Events to be running this week.

    These include:
    Heroic Lightning Rounds
    Human Torch "Hotshot" Tournament
    Heroic Chapter 3

    What exactly changed with the "reward structures" on the back-end here? If the LR rewards were screwed up, that should have no effect on the other two tournaments. After all, the reward structure for the Heroic Lightning Rounds worked just fine before (from a functionality standpoint).

    This sounds like a R50 related change to a "new" rewards architecture of some kind that was due to launch today, and the devs want this new structure in place before they launch any more tourneys.

    I sure hope I'm wrong, but we'll find out for sure tomorrow.... icon_e_confused.gif

    I seem to remember having extra patch covers during the event he came out in. Ahh the good old days.

    Midday Eastern Time, most likely. (5pm British Summer Time, which is my timezone.)

    IceIX said in the announcement thread that these two events will start at 12:00 EDT (17:00 GMT) today, about 90 minutes from now.

    I hope this is final. I don't want to play another waiting game. icon_e_sad.gif
  • LRs are up.... nothing changed reward wise.

    Glad to be wrong in this situation icon_lol.gif
  • Am I the only one who finds it funny that the first LR is Widow? icon_lol.gif
