    It.makes zero sense to run another test and not have zero changes to its parameters tinykitty.
    Well, it is possible that they've changed some of the parameters: this time, clearance level 8 might actually reach the levels advertised.

    They might also want to see whether people change their behaviour now that they know what to expect from this new system.

    Are you really going to run the same test, but in a release event when placement is the most important thing? Do you want people to get mad at the game and quit or something?

    This makes no sense. It was already bad the first time, so what you do next it's to not fix ANYTHING at all and run the test in an important PVE? What?

    I hope there are some kind of changes this time.

    The test IS that it's a release event.
    They saw how people played in an event for an existing char, now they want to see what people do for a new char.
    It makes sense to not change anything except missions scaling up the promised 25 levels each clear.

    I didn't think I could have said this but.....Thanx to the new vaulting system, my sandman will be very likely championed in less than one month due to my hording cps, just like I've done with R&G and Gamora so even if this PVE will be a bloodbath and I will not be able to hit the top 10, I will not care at all  :p 

    On the other side, I would have expected a few changes/improvements for this new test : Is that our (over) 70 pages of complains and suggestions means nothing for the Devs?  :(

    Which is a pretty significant change that should be well announced.  Fixing a bug in the first event is significant, especially since that bug made the toughest SCL much easier than intended.  If people read @Brigby's note and were aware of the bug last time (or aware that the levels were low and unaware that was a bug) they might choose SCL 8 because it was relatively easy last time and get their face stomped this time.

    Hi Everyone. There will be no changes to the updated difficulty portion of the event. Players will experience the event in the same way they did with Unstable Iso-8.

    Please. Iso was a breeze. This is a nightmare and I refuse to play along with this ****. Keep this up and you will lose at least one player.

    I don't feel any emotional connection to Sandman as a character and his powers don't seem to make him essential in the current meta. This might be a good one to sit out.

    @Brigby, will Strange Sights use classic scaling or SCL scaling?

    No mention of levels on the sign-up page, so it's back to the painful abomination that is "scaling".

    Seriously, make fixed levels permanent already.

    Also FOR THE LOVE OF GOD stop with the non-vaulted rewards already!

    Awesome, the Agent Venom progression reward in the PvE after Strange Sights will be yellow. My 4/7/3 AV appreciates that

    Then will that be a 272 Champion for you?

    @fmftint
    I have not received any word of Strange Sights having difficulty levels tied to SCL, therefore I am under the impression that it will have the classic difficulty levels.

    Black Panther PvP again?  We just had one in April. Meanwhile there have been at least half a dozen that haven't been featured this year.
