    I'm thinking its the second, but confirmation before tomorrow would be lovely.

    I hope your right because as I look at that table I notice 2 things:

    1) They would be trolling us by having Switch as the required 3* character 4 times out of 40 teams! icon_evil.gif
    2) I would only be able to meet all 3 requirements 23 out of 40 times due to not rostering every 2,3 and 4* character (although I would dumpster dive in my Elite hoard for the 2* when required so it's probably more like 32 out of 40 I could do as a 3* transition player).

    Based on my understanding, it will be a team of "required 2*, required 3*, required 4*". The chart in the original post details which specific characters are required for the full team. I will double check on this one though.

    Then they are definitely trolling us by having Switch in there 4 times after changing her power icon_evil.gif

    No bagman required... Whew!

    Got worried as soon as I read there were required 2*s!

    Wasp, Falcon and Bullseye? That's gonna be one slow node clear.
    Step 1. Collect purple for Falcon's and Bullseye's protect tiles.
    Step 2. Collect yellow to buff tiles.
    Step 3. Flip protects to strikes with Wasp's yellow.
    Step 4. ???
    Step 5. PROFIT!

    Can you elaborate on what the rewards for each node will be? And what the additional progression rewards are, or were those just the addition of 2CP and one more taco token?

    Furthermore, will the 2,000 ISO bonus now only be available upon completion of all non-CoT nodes? If so, it means that we'll now have to roster all 2* characters. That's a lot of sudden roster slots for some of us, and functionally means I'll probably be missing the daily bonus enough at first to cost me about 10,000 ISO in the first two weeks. A heads up would have allowed for proper planning!

    Cool. I welcome a way to earn more CP. And an update to a stale mode!

    Cats everywhere are rejoicing

    Why are several rare characters required multiple times while others not required at all?

    Mohawk Storm, Rocket & Groot, Sentry, & Psylocke are never required. (And those are just the ones I noticed off the top of my head, I think there are others).

    Surprise releases are more important then your silly planning.

    I think not having Bagman, Devil Dino, or Howard the Duck is correct. It's not fair to newer or ever long term players who miss the limited window to acquire them.

    That said - I'm excited about this change and looking forward to trying it out. Just hoping the Behemoth isn't too hard considering many of the characters will be severely under leveled.

    Sounds like a special April fools edition of ddq coming up

    An extra taco token and 2CP a day sounds good to me! That's an extra 3 classic legendaries a month. Plus a daily sort-of-combined-arms fight (every non-crazy person's favorite PvP). I'm looking forward to trying it out tomorrow.

    The crucial problem with this version of combined arms is the zero flexibility we get, you only have to look at heroics to see how badly team synergy suffers when they are the ones picking a team for us to use, although the more cynically inclined would also spot just how good they can make the synergy for the opposing team e.g. goons feeding useful colours to active opponents 95% of the time.

    I know I'm obligated to say I appreciate a bit of CP. Still, considering when we had this many 3*s, a fixed specific cover every day was deemed the proper path forward, I have to admit an additional random pull ever ten days seems underwhelming. I appreciate that it is better than nothing. But, 4* progression needs work and 5* progression is still completely broken. And, we had the template to correct them in the existing DDQ. I feel the best opportunity to correct these is being squandered. To see the proposed way forward is just to press more RNG is a bit disheartening.

    Can i get some details as to what the opponents are we will be going up against in the Behemoth burrito (sorry BB belongs to black bolt)? Is it 3v1, 3v3, 3vWaves. Are they 5* teams, 4* teams, combo. Thanks...

    Do they even bother to proof read or edit any of this? Why is icon_scarletwitch.png listed 4 times icon_kamalakhan.png 3 times icon_cyclops.pngicon_wolverine.pngicon_thor.png 2 times

    but icon_storm.pngicon_psylocke.pngicon_rocket.pngicon_gamora.pngicon_daredevil.pngicon_shehulk.pngicon_blackwidow.pngicon_humantorch.png zero times.

    I think the technology does in fact exist - optical character recognition (OCR). If you save the image as a pdf, adobe acrobat has some built in OCR. Or maybe some kind soul here will post the list as text.

    In addition, Microsoft OneNote 2016 has this functionality built in.
