    Is Galactus going to use the weekly boost list?

    Or will it have it's own? And if so, when will that info be provided?

    As of right now, I unfortunately do not have any further information to provide. I will reach out to the developers this week to inquire about whether there is additional information I can communicate prior to the events' start dates.

    Not particularly looking forward to having two events running in parallel.  Although if System Reboot is a "one and done" mini-event, it shouldn't be too bad.

    Edit: looking at the Space Gem Season character updates thread, this does look like a mini-event:

    System Reboot

    An all-new Story event that will run alongside the normal Story events. Complete missions to earn Iso-8 and a random Ghost Rider and Kingpin cover!

    @Brigby

    do you know how the recent scaling changes to PVE play through boss events?  Is there fixed scaling on side nodes tied to the round your alliance boss is in?  Is there fixed increments per round refresh?  Is it the same old 24 hour explosion of scaling back to the scaling we all hated as per previous boss events?

    Probably won't change much. Hopefully my alliance will beat it in a day so day two of scaling doesn't give me cancer.

    They really shouldn't have anything to do with each other.

    The recent scaling changes were to bring different scaling to different SCL levels.

    Boss events don't even have SCL levels in the first place, so that change shouldn't effect bosses.

    See I disagree - there are 8 rounds and 8 SCLs and the boss level is fixed to each round so in my mind it never made sense to have an arbitrary time based scaling kick in - would seem to make a lot more sense to me to have the essential pins reflect the scaling of each SCL so when boss level increases so do the side nodes but at a fixed amount so time doesn't become the determining factor of difficulty the round you are playing in does.

    but that's just me - expecting a rational roll out of a model for calculating difficulty across the game - previously side nodes scaling reflected the individual scaling a player experienced everyday in PVE so shouldn't that hold true post the scaling change.  Not sure why you think it wouldn't change (logically) though in practice I'm expecting it won't have changed it would just seem like an oversight if it didn't

    Galactus Hungers event goes live tomorrow, any new updates @Brigby???

    I'm thinking/hoping it will be 3lektra and C4ge for the rewards. Then do Strange Sights right after. No, D3, you will not do Deadpool vs MPQ after Galactus Hungers. No. I'm putting my foot down.

    Well I can't be mad at getting more Coulsons though really was hoping for some C4ge covers. So following the pve after Galactus he should be up to 12 and fighting for my iso along with G4mora, Fist, Gwenpool and Mordo.

    edit: Ow! Took an Ultimate Soldier right to the nose from Peggy. Damn, girl, you been working out with Hulk lately? Yeah you're in the mix too.

    Seriously the hunt again !?
    Is it just me or have we been cycling through only a handful of pve events
    When was the last heroic ?

    Good news - The Hunt will put my Coulson at 4/4/4.
    Bad news - Probably won't get the blue I need from placement in The Hunt so I'd have to throw 120 cp at my Fist to champ him.
    Good news - At least R4G will be boosted so I'll cut through The Hunt like a hot knife through butter.
    Bad news - So will everyone else.

    The game only has a handful of events lol.

    It has been a while since there's been a heroic, but I for one don't miss them.  I'd much rather either keep running a small number of events or get new events.
