in MPQ General Discussion
I had a quick check in the events forum, but there's nothing there that I could see. With this new thing happening on the 24th now, are we getting any info?

Or is it simply a Antman/TA Hulk type scenario of 5 nodes, finish them for covers? The impression I was getting was that this would be a regular thing. I love the idea of new features, but that just makes me hungry for info. Also, leaving something like this to message board speculation is rarely a good idea...

    You've got everything I've seen on the forums.

    Starts tomorrow, completion gets you some ISO, a random Ghost Rider, and a random Kingpin.

    We could presume/assume things, make some educated guesses (running alongside a Boss event would indicate it's more likely to be like Growth Industry or Amadeus' Inferno than a regular event, but that's still guesswork). I suspect it'll become "regular" in that it'll run each season when there's a character update. But again, guesswork.

    We really don't know anything yet, could be simple nodes that'll blend in with DDQ, could be something more unique (the Cho event has that one crazy Hulk wave fight, Guardians introduced the asteroid "Hazards" that dropped neutral countdowns to shake up the board, this event could theoretically contain stuff like that, but, for a third time, it's all guesswork, haha).

    It's a system reboot. All your iso, CP and HP will be wiped out and reset to zero. Likewise all progress you have ever made, thus forcing you renew acquaintances with a lv1 IM35.

    I'd expect the formal post about the end of day 5pm PST, right before they walk out the door.

    Should that read EDT?

    I'm not a huge fan of time zones, as you can tell. :p 

    You're correct. It should say EDT. I've corrected my original comment.

    Thanks @Brigby

    I had a feeling the secrecy was due to wanting to keep certain things a surprise, but the whole thing was basically a surprise at this point o.o

    From the sounds of it, I hope this kind of thing becomes a regular feature. Like a seasonal DDQ maybe?

    13,000 ISO for what I assume will be very little work. Sure. I can live with that.

    I hope he is.
    We haven't had a forum meltdown in like 3 weeks, it's high time for one.

    We're about to get some meltdowns from people because the Kingpin "buff" is actually a major "nerf".

    You can earn a cover from both characters by completing 2 other nodes in the event ;) 
    Oh, well thats a relief then. Your other post made it sound like you could only take part in the event if you had them rostered already.

    So a regular 7 day event, a boss alliance event and a new reboot event at the same time.  Ouch my health packs.

    Last day of one, 8 hour cooldowns on the second, and a third that might take half an hour. I hope you can survive such an onslaught.

    Regardless of time, it's the last day of the first event, the second is on an 8 hour timer, and the last one gives you a week to complete what amounts to a node or so a day if you spread it out to an insanely long time.
