    The dev name for Combined Arms is 'Diversity' while the dev name for Balance of Power is 'Equality' per the devs on Discord. 

    Feels like we're two-thirds of a way to a good motto. "Diversity. Equality. Unity."

    Unity PVP: Balance of Points. Choose 1 of three players to team up with in wave versus wave PVP! You'll share the points from a win with your chosen partner!

    You'd have the three missions to choose from as normal, but instead of fighting the one you select, you instead get to use their defense team as is as against the 2 missions you didn't choose. You even decide whether to use their team first or yours in a 2 wave versus 2 wave  style of combat.
    EDIT: Not sure why the quote box didn't go around jo's quote. And I have no idea how to fix it.

    Unity PvP: No individual rewards, all individual rewards contribute to a slice wide average and every player get's points based on that average.  No placement, progression only.

    A Boss-like event for the community instead of the alliance with no individual progress? If they thought about it, this would push players to use their weakest teams instead of their strongest, because more people winning attacks means more points, and never, never shield. And if nobody were to shield, Demiurge wouldn't run it. Well, maybe once. That could be a crazy experience. "Wait a sec! [insert know player with strong Epic roster here] is using Bagman, Captain America(2*), and Bullseye? Moar wins for moar points!"

    What happened to Heroic events?  Seems like forever since we had one.

    SHHHHH-

    Oh wait. They're not nearly so bad these days. Still. The less I see of Rags and Juggs, the better.

    I'll play any heroic over the two day torture that is Florida.

    Is enemy of the state a weeklong?

    horrible 4* buff list dont have any well leveled but i have medusa. Champed 279 so should be good for pve at least

    Enemy of the State. Those 7-day Progression rewards. Right before a boss weekend. I guess it offsets the resource loss. Medusa versus ninjas. Gleee. First buff week where I have all 5. I wonder if an AV/Rider team is viable? For dual boosted AOE.

    Well, my 3/4/5 Cloak and Dagger should be looking at Champion status within the month I guess. And a couple champ levels if I can push a top 10. Oh wait! If it's followed by the Homecoming Boss event, then C&D may not be progress in any way. Dang it!

    A seven day event (with two Medusa covers as progression rewards) leading right into the Boss event for Spider-Man. That's actually pretty cool, now I can finish my Medusa and get her first champ level at the same time.

    Deadpool+Fist would be the best option for full rainbow for IM40 pvp. I don't see the synergy for AV/GH. I'll be running AV+IF cause my Deapool is 274 and AV 305....

    I love Enemy of the State, and the boosted list looks pretty good for me.

    I will be sad if C&D's progression reward is skipped, though - I just need a yellow or a purple to finish them off. Ah well, one will come along eventually.

    I kind of hate Nefarious Foes. I mean, it's not BoP bad, but just... blech.

    Hmm, XPool, Hobo, AV. Active red, purple, blue, green, black, and yellow. Hobo green to feed AV black spam, and even Alien Weakness has merit with the likelihood it will destroy C4W tiles. Misses out on a second Strike generator to give Hobo something to kick start Chi Focus. Not perfect, but it might work.

    Any chance we could get a scaling test for Enemy of the State?
