Yay for the good changes! (seriously) But please don't think this solves the problem demi.

The placement rewards have double the ISO for 7 day that 3 day does. I haven't looked at the progression ISO, is there a big difference? I'd let them slide on any disparity there if they got the command points doubled.

ooooo, I hadn't noticed the double placement iso. That's good. So now CP really is the only outstanding issue. It's a big one, but also an easy one to fix. C'mon Demi!

Not to worry! I've sent out an email to the developers to see what their feedback is on 7-Day Event CP rewards. If I hear anything I can pass along, I'll be sure to update the thread with that information.

I made a topic about this after the last 7-day event.
They went away for a while.
they come back and they impliment a lot of the ideas I suggested.

Now, I'm not saying I was entirely responsible for getting this change through. That's for you guys to say about me.

You're the real bonus hero.

Without hyperbole that's honestly the nicest thing anyone's said to me for some time.

Aww Dragon, I'm sorry to hear that! I should add that the last nice thing anyone has said to me was my dental hygienist telling me that my teeth are boring.

Thanks for this change! I much appreciate it.

This is unequivocally great. More CP would, of course, make it even greater, but it is great just as it is.

Thank you.

Unfortunately Progression ISO is the same between 3/4 and 7 day events.

Devs: ok we have massively reduced the token pool and slightly increased your ability to control your progress

Forum : waaaaaa we want to be able to cover all the old characters that we have been COMPLAINING ABOUT FOR OVER A YEAR.

Massively reduced does not mean improved though when you look at how many top tier characters have been discarded in the purge and that there are trash characters like the Wasp who are new enough to be in the chosen 12, the bonus hero system will only allow you to progress with one of those missing heroes before you end up worse off than under the old system.

The championing system has also been around long enough that people have adjusted to the situation and have spent a lot of iso on mid-tier characters to avoid the continuing annoyance of wasted covers, this latest change means that this approach is wasted and all those heroes will grind to a halt prior to people getting into the higher levels where the rewards are better.

No it doesn't mean they are wasted, it just means they will be used less often. You can still get covers for those characters via progression and placement rewards - which often feature older characters far more often than new ones anyway.

so this is only for 7 days? as in we still only get 1 4* on 3 and 4 day events?

Yes, the whole Point of this change was to put 7 Days event on a more equal footing with the shorter events. You already get two fourstar covers in a seven day period if it has a 4 day and a 3 day PvE.

Got a yellow Starlord from champ Gamora last week. Got the yellow progression reward in Rag's PvP. Opened a legendary for fun and got a purple cover. Just a shame I need two reds to get him to 13 covers.

So erm...if you wanna double that CP reward for PvE to help me make 240CP in a fortnight, that would be spiffing.

For Enemy of the State progression - 2 wave clears or 4?

a definitive answer to this would be cool

Honestly i'd say just do 4.
Do 2 clears when the event starts and then at least 2 more as the sub event draws to a close. Sneak an extra one in if it's a 48 hour sub.
The survival nodes have the most points by a long shot so it behooves you to hit them hardest.

Progression last run was 138k
Progression this run 100k
Looks like it's been set for 2x on waves

Really happy with this change. Rewards now match the effort needed to attain said scores. Good job!

Why don't you update unlocking all characters for all events while you are at it. So tired of feeling like there is a different ruleset or bug every week.

I dunno if I'd call it a bug. It's more thematic to the actual event that Logan is not available since he's on the enemy team now.

Chrono_Tata

I remember they did mention specifically when they announced the Heroic change that the some specific lockouts like Wolverine in Enemy of the State was going to stay. But yeah I don't think it makes a lot of sense. All events have certain characters who will be on the enemy team but none of them have lockouts apart from EotS.

Copps

Thanks for paying attention brigby. I think most people would now be fine with seven day events if they had double cp. the rewards are still a little lower but the four star cover and the cp are the biggest points of contention.
