    *(8/01/17) Brigby - Updated Versus events

    @huktonfonix
    Nice catch! Looks like Simulator was supposed to award the Yellow cover for Mockingbird, but instead it was a Purple cover. To make up for that discrepancy, the upcoming Morse Code event will reward Mockingbird's Yellow cover instead.
    Ugh. The fix for a pve reward should be in pve, not pvp. Put the cover as a reward for one of the wave nodes instead of it being a token. I think that would be fair. Either that or CS should award it to all players that achieved the 4* cover in progression. As a 600-700ish pvp player, that gets destroyed when I take a sniff around 800, I have like no shot at a reward I should have received unless the pvp event is win based which I highly doubt it will be.

    Webbed Wonder - (8/3/17)
    This will now be a regular event. The reward for beating the Doctor Octopus boss mission is 5,000 Iso-8. There is only one store associated with the event.
    Oh freakin BOOOO.

    Wait, does this mean Howard's becomming a non-limited character now? Or...will he only be available during the anniversary?

    Non-limited limited - Yelena
    Sorta Non-limited limited - Howard

    Bag Man fluctuates across all four. I can go months without seeing a cover then out of the blue I'll get two covers back to back. He is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.
    Caught in a conundrum?

    I would still classify him as limited if he's not availabile from stores and you only get 1 random cover each time this event runs. Maybe they'll add Devil Dinosaur into that one PvE node he's featured in.

    Except for the fact it gets forced upon us as the most used event for new releases.

    Edit: I tried using the quote option, and it ended up making me put my text in the quote box.  The mobile version of the forum is a catastrophe sometimes...

    You'll still get the Howard cover from Webbed Wonder like normal. That cover is rewarded from the wave node at the end of the event.

    For 5* Doc Ock's release, they added a boss fight at the end for a special Doc Ock LT.

    THAT node is going to give 5k ISO instead of an LT so they can run the event more often. This change literally has nothing to do with Howard.

    Start typing your reply with a few blank lines above it, put your cursor back into the top line them hit the quote button. Works for me on Android.

    Regarding the Mockingbird cover in pvp - when I was in the 4* transition, I found release pvp events often easier to reach 900 than other events - possibly a combination of more people.looking for the cover and the 4* loaner having lower health making matches faster (they can often just be ignored, and focus on the big guns), and less health packs used (none for loaner for example. This let me climb higher faster in one sitting, and if I was shield hopping, those hops were faster, so exposed less and getting fewer hits.
    If you have been hitting above 575, and have a couple of boosted 4*s, or a boosted 4* with a great companion (champ 4* or boosted 3*), I'd suggest giving it a bash - start early and see how high you can get in one sitting,  fall, climb again later, then if you are in range and you've found some teams that are quick to beat, try shield hopping.

    You can also switch to HTML View (the last of the icons), add a few empty lines after the quote and switch back.

    In either case, this isn't something that should happen in a professional message board software.

    He was referring to while using the mobile.  The mobile version doesn't have the HTML toggle (or if it does I haven't found it).  Trying to post via the mobile is a nightmare, if I'm on my phone I consider it read only.

    Old forum was way better.

    The html toggle is to the right of the right aligned paragraph icon and looks like html code. </> I'm actually using it right now because the lame software kept putting my text in with your reply when I quoted you.

    Really?  I don't see one:


    As noted in several posts now MOBILE not desktop...  I even tried to request the desktop version from within iOS and it errors out saying something went wrong (message from forum not from OS).

    On a mobile device with a small enough screen (actual screen size, not resolution), you indeed get a reduced toolbar. On a mobile, you either have to go with CT1888's method or request the desktop version in your mobile browser.

    However, my suggestion wasn't purely directed at mobile devices, as the same problem also crops up on my desktop.
