What is this event even about? The enemies offered aren't even the character's that we're offered ourselves.0

I just noticed that Venom also removes any invisibility tiles that you placed, when he 'leaps from shadows'. Is this intended? Noticed this when I fired IW's yellow when he was about to return from invisiblity.
If I look at the description of his power, friendly invisiblity tiles may also be counted towards his 'leap'. Which would be a bit weird.0 -
Just want to repeat my feedback from last time.
Carnage fights are not fun especially when he is the first fight.
I have just given up on fighting him. I would rather retreat and miss out on progression rewards thanks. If I wanted to watch self gratification I can think of better material.1 -
I know this forum is a police state so I can't use crosser words to address the *genius* who designed this and asked for feedback the last time but I need to tell them this
what kind of nimrod do you have to be to look at Carnage and not think he doesn't need ANY sort of of limitation to his powers? I can think of several. don't let him gain AP at matches of 4 and up. don't give him extra turns on matches of 5. make his powers cost from 5 to like 7AP as a minimum. Did no one playtest this?1 -

I just want to note that the scaling to the unlock nodes is still stupid and these events would be vastly better if your unlock nodes didn't quickly outpace the bosses in difficulty -_-4

I am very confused why D3 would solicit for feedback on the first run of the event, but not change anything on the second run. Overall, its a great event but there are a couple small changes that could be made to make it one of the best events they have run:
1 - Nerf Carnage - I've seen lots of complaints on him, and I agree that once you hit Round 8 and have to face him first, it is nearly impossible to survive. Some of the others could have used updates, but Carnage seemed to be the worst offender.
2 - Extend the rewards - So many individuals are hitting Max progression and alliances are completing Round 8 within 24-36 hours then getting stuck with no event for 2 days. Simply increasing the points required for each Round and extending the progression rewards would prolong the event nicely. (Why are there progression points at 300K, 400K, and 500K, then suddenly 540K, and 580K, before going back to every 100K for 600, 700, and 800?)
3 - Make the feeder node scaling more linear. This has been a problem with every Boss event - 24 hours of ridiculously easy nodes then they immediately jump to hard mode.
Looking back I realize that I am simultaneously complaining that the event was both too hard and too easy. I expect D3 got a lot of conflicting feedback as well which may be why they decided to do nothing. That thought saddens me, because even if the responses were mixed, showing us some kind of tweak to acknowledge that they heard our feedback would have been welcome.1 -

I also am confused why they ran it back so quickly without changes. I didn't like the rewards so slogging thru it to help my alliance, for rewards I'm not excited about, made it pretty tough.
All in all, a good event though.0 -
Personally, I'm not terribly surprised that we aren't seeing any changes for the second run. When they made the initial announcement and I saw they were spaced only a few weeks apart, I figured the only way we would see major changes for the second run would be if it was absolutely broken the first run.
General consensus seemed to be that it was a fun event, maybe a little too easy in some aspects, too hard in others (yes, Carnage and Sandman, we mean you).
My feedback was similar to most: add to Carnage's AP requirements a bit and add more rewards or add to the ones already there (like a 0 to all ISO totals, for starters). While we didn't see any immediate changes, I'm hopeful that this event enters the boss event rotation and we'll see changes then.1 -

I mean it's not like it's hard for me to do them with my roster, I have more than enough options to do them without using my boss team, it's just time consuming and not fun.0 -
There sure are a lot of side nodes requiring Hulk: we've got ones specifically requiring 3* Hulk as one of the event's featured characters, and others that will take any Hulk variant. It feels like the other half of the matches feature Spider-Men.

I loved this event both times it ran. Just challenging enough that it doesn't seem like an automatic win while still being reasonable even at round 8.0

Starting on Carnage for round 8 was awful. Other than that the only problems from my POV were the personal progression rewards and not having any PVE to play once my alliance has finished it. Since the boss events are in place of a PVE the rewards should be in line with what you'd get from a 3 day PVE.
Ordinarily I would agree about the scaling of the side nodes , but in this event we completed quickly enough that the side nodes didn't have chance to get tougher than the bosses. That will obviously come down to the strength of your roster and your alliance, though.0 -
Playing Carnage as first boss. Aaarrrggh. I think I do get a turn. Maybe? Or am I just supposed to retreat? If I get the chance to do that.0

Last run in Round 8, I was using IM40, GSBW and Clagger, since they were boosted. This time I'm subbing in Vulture for Clagger. If you have 10 blue AP and send him airborne using his black against Doc Ock, he'll target and take out the reactor and tentacle tiles.
I don't know if he prioritizes the reactor tile, but every time I've fired it so far, he's always taken it out, even if all the special tiles are on the board. That could just be coincidence though. My Vulture is at three blue covers, so only destroys up to three tiles, so maybe I'll have a run where he'll only take out tentacle tiles.
He takes out Venom's invisibility tiles the same way, although that was to be expected.0 -
This time around I quit on the round you face Carnage first. He's horribly frustrating, and slow and the matches become a plod.
Sometimes You can even lose on the first round after a single match of yours, he snatches a 5 red, and then shuffles the board and then there's cascade hell.
I got the last of the individual rewards and quit the event, it's not worth the effort and it's 0 fun.

And yeah, Carnage is a pain. The only pain in round 8, since by the time I get to Sandman, the board is littered with webs, and I can drop an instant death Surprise on him.1
