    @Brigby any info on the types of enemies we'll face in the new event? I'm kind of curious what to expect before I go into it tomorrow.
    Mostly mindless ones, from Strange Sights.

    I am excited to see a new PvE being made. Question though, will it enter regular rotation? Webbed Wonder took a long time before being introduced as a regular PvE, and it would be great to have more PvE options than simply Dark Avengers Dark Avengers Dark Avengers.

    I'm sorry to say this but this new PVE is the laziest garbage event you people have ever made

    I like it. I would request that Strange and Cage be boosted every time it runs, however...

    Psst. If you have Rocket and Groot (4) champed, try them with another GotG and Strange and drop C4ge. Or swap Strange with Medusa. Doesn't really matter if it's Gamora (and Drax is a pretty decent choice, fully complementing Grocket), and Starlord just trades one reactive animation for another, but it's pretty much magic.

    EDIT: Now I wait with baited breath for Made Man to be added to PVP Sneak Peek, and Thick as Thieves prizes to be added. @Brigby Your information junkies are getting jitters.

    EDIT, Part 2, Edit Harder: And making a comment works its charm. Sneak Peek updated as I post. It's like magic!

    EDIT, Part 3, The Final Edit 3D!: Sentry in Made Man placement. Sentry PVP. Sentry in PVE placement. While a lot of people would be very annoyed by this, I actually have this fabulously suicidal madman as my Bonus Hero to get to level 265 before Moon Knight starts appearing in my suppy drop in about a month and a half. I'm satisfied. Now, does this indicate a Prodigal Sun run where Sentry is actually featured? And with my guess from patch notes that we actually have a Boss inbound in 2 weeks, having a 1-week event preceding it sounds about right. (A little sad that the Strange covers come after he stops being boosted.)

    Zodiac, yeah I'm running with R4G, 3* Starlord and Strange and they're shredding fools left and right.

    oh yeah this is the perfect event to showcase your **** new difficulty update because it's just as lazy as the update and it doesn't take a genius to realize you've done almost nothing but make everything worse like usual. hackfrauds

    Based on the Thick as Thieves prizes, what G4mora cover will we get for progression in next event? Blue?

    Yes.
    All my wishes have come true. I need any colour except red to finish her.

    Now, about those two R&G covers I need...

    I was hoping for red in progression, but I'm just happy black isn't the reward for T5 or T10.

    Sweet! Week-long event means two covers for G4mora and I should be able to champ her! 

    And it's a good thing that boosted list mostly hits during PvP off season. I don't have a single one of those characters champed. It'll suck a little to likely not get the 4* cover at 900 for a few events, but maybe a little break from PvP won't be so bad.

    That's an excellent boost list. I don't plan on doing SCL8 on all 7 day events (just because of how much of a grind they can be) but a boost week like that makes it an easy choice.

    With the new SCL, and updated Placement rewards, will there still be better placement rewards for 7 day vs 3&4 day events?  Previously, we have received better (higher) placement amounts of iso and Hero Points from 7 day events, than we do from 3&4 day events.  If rewards are still higher, then an updated 7 day chart for SCL 7 vs 8 would be helpful.  (If the new charts from the 8/3/17 News apply to all events, regardless of length, then confirmation would be helpful as well.  Although disappointing.)  Thank you!

    There's nothing inherently wrong with the list, just saying it doesn't work for me personally. Coulson is my highest at 4/5/2 Level 229.

    Also relieved that Bl4de is the reward. I don't *need* his covers, although champ levels never hurt. But, I don't feel like I need good placement, which is great since we'll be out of town this weekend and I wasn't going to be able to play optimally anyhow. It finally feels like the schedule worked in my favor for once.

    I apologize @DarthDeVo - I was saying that totally independent of what you posted, wasn't trying to mitigate your point.
