    It's likely not a new release. Seven day events are almost never new releases (only exception in about two years was when Chulk was released in the Hulk event, so if we were to get a new version of Sentry it might be released in Prodigal Sun). Besides, we are due for a fivestar release and haven't seen a sneak preview of the next character yet, so the signs strongly indicate a non-release PvE.
    Also, Brigby noted there would not be a character release with the latest software update. Now I suspect we will get some condensed releases corresponding to the FOLLOWING update, but that is still at least a week away.

    I know Brigby is checking, but do we have guesstimations on which Wasp covers will be the progression in Psun?

    Edit: yellow & black, the event preview is now in-game.

    And Ant-Man / Storm as rewards.

    It's sad that verifying the rewards with the developers took so long that the preview thread is no longer actually a preview.

    7 day events got 2 4 :star: covers, but still only 25 command points

    Well, the event is live....maybe update the preview?

    On another note, an updated complete list of Crash order, vs just announcing a few days early, would be much appreciated.

    I wish cover rotation weren't so blatantly biased.

    Clearance Level 8 for Strange Sights, best rewards possible for the event, top 10 get yellow/black Wasp covers, top 5 get the blue.

    Next event, Prodigal Sun, 7 day event, under the new format, gets us two more Wasp covers. And of course, they're yellow/black.

    Blue is harder to get, artificial rarity is created by handing out the rewards in an uneven manner, and THIS is why people ask for colorless covers.

    It wouldn't have hurt to have made one of the two Prodigal Sun covers blue. But asking the devs to consider minor changes to make things a little more fair is like pulling teeth.
    Is it necessarily deliberately biased?  I will grant you that it certainly is on initial release, with the way that the most alliance rewards and most common personal rewards overlap.  In PvE rotation, though, the standard rotation is two colors available in progression and the third color in placement in the next event.  The only time you have two progression covers is in 7-day events, and this was only recently added.  Doesn't it seem likely that in adding a second progression cover, they just added the next cover in rotation to rewards?  So it goes black-blue-yellow-black.

    For these four-cover series, the most important question is whether the rotation restarts the next time the character comes up in PvE rewards: does it start at the next color in the sequence, or does it start over in the same order every time?

    If you mean Phoenix not regenerating from ally damage, that's working as intended.  They've answered this somewhere around here.  It's the same situation as 3* Captain Marvel, 3* Hulk, either Deadpool, or 4* Red Hulk's damage-triggered reaction abilities not responding to damage from Carnage red or Sentrys red and green abilities.  Similarly, ally damage or self-inflivcted damage are unaffected by strike or protect tiles.

    @Brigby is this accurate for the Behemoth Burrito?
    Miles Morales, Thor (Goddess of Thunder), Daken (Dark Avengers)

    You're telling me, the first few months That Ashes did work with Court Death, THAT  was the bug. Is that what you're saying?

    Tried to think about how I'd go for this, with the obvious thought being a a five-minute miracle, then realized that the reward for top 5 is going to be blue and only top 1 will get green.  Not worth even trying for a 6th blue.

    On the plus(?) side, it'll probably be followed by a Strang3 PVP with a purple progression reward.  I think I've only achieved a 4* progression reward from PVP once or twice, but with a 3/5/1 Iceman that purple may inspire the effort.

    At least it's no longer broken 3* Thanos who hurt your own team as much as the enemy. I think I boycotted that one after two or three nodes.

    Maybe make a post in the suggestions and feedback subforum...apparently they actually read things there.

    It's ridiculous that they don't give blue as reward in Prodigal Sun. To many yellows out there on Wasp
