And... we're back to the Dark Avengers.  It was a nice break at least.  Thanks for posting the thread, looking forward to the two Vulture covers for Progression.

Anyone know why nodes for this event would produce a timer after only 1 play, if even that? I have a couple I've yet to play that have timers on them, until full points available.

If they're the nodes with the option to use loaner characters, that's standard. Annoying, but expected.

If it's not a loaner node, try closing the game completely and then re-opening it. I sometimes have weirdness like that when I go from my home to my work wi-fi and vice versa.

My God.
How can you make a 7 day event even worse?
Why, you add a million one time nodes to the main on the final day of course!

I always think I'm remembering it as worse than it really is.

Then I discover that the opposite is true.

This is probably the only event I want scrapped. It's a slog, with no nuance and no redeeming features.

I actually like it. Because I don't mind grinding like this, and enough other people do, it's one of the few events that I can semi-reliably make t20 (or even once t2) in.
