    Between this thread and my spreadsheet, it appears the Behemoth Burritos for Mr. Fantastic, Nova, Ant-Man, Miles Morales, and Red Hulk are getting skipped? Is this accurate?
    I noticed this as well, and for a minute I thought I might be taking crazy pills.  Good.  I'm not.

    And with the banner up for Hearts of Darkness, it appears that Crystal and Karnak are near-confirmed future additions to the game. Scroll through the effects of Royal Escort to preview the likely effects of Crystal's red and Karnak's black abilities.
    Also, good doggie gives us Symbiote Mutation's Guard Dog power finally. Take that Venom Bomb!
    Also, does something with Charged Tiles. Always glad to see someone who doesn't just throw charged tiles on the board, shrug, and go, "Well, there they are." Looking at you Rags, Surfer, and Chulk. (Not including Coulson and Riri who combine it with board manipulation.)
    And final also, Marvel News! Where's the article?
    I had the same thought with Crystal and Karnak- it would appear those two have to be nearly complete or complete and waiting for a release date. Also, his yellow- counter to Medusa/Carnage combos??

    ... Dang, can he have a 5/5/5 build? It's gonna be real hard deciding what his optimal build will be, but my initial gut reaction says 4/5/4.

    The damage takes a big jump from three to four covers in green, so I feel like that needs to be at least four. And to get the full versatility out of blue, it seems to need to be at five. But it's hard to pass up 100 percent damage reduction. So maybe 5/4/4. But, it only works with friendly tiles, so if you aren't spamming friendly special tiles, maybe he can stay at 4/5/4. 

    At any rate, I can see him becoming the third for Cardusa.

    Why in the world is Yondu on the boost list for this week when he was only released a month ago?

    @Brigby - Can you update from the devs what the new structure of a 4-day Hearts of Darkness event will look like? From the other changed event(s?) I would expect sub 2 to be 48 hours instead of 24 hours, but you never know until you know.

    As opposed to what? What could they possibly run that wouldn't be a joke?

    Certainly not Unstable ISO-8, Honor Among Thieves, Thick as Thieves, Prodigal Sun, The Hunt, Strange Sights, Deadpool vs MPQ, or Hearts of Darkness. All of those have been run more recently than MR&G.

    So if MR&G is too recent to be acceptable, we would replace it with... Venom Bomb, Simulator, Webbed Wonder, or a 7-day event (Enemy of the State, ISO-8 Brotherhood, and The Hulk). Those 3 events and The Hulk were all run right around the same time as the last MR&G, so really if MR&G is a joke, those would be too, right?

    So which one is acceptable to you? Enemy of the State, or ISO-8 Brotherhood? Or are you suggesting we bumble into a Monday boss event instead?

    Or are you just complaining to complain without looking to see if your complaint is realistic or not?

    I'm all for Heroics (restricted) showing up again, remove restriction from SCL1-6 if overall roster was the issue. Take some time off from new characters and add new events.

    dear sweet jesus I hope they don't bring back Honor Among Thieves that event was simultaneously infuriating and boring as all hell

    Can someone explain to me why HoD has become a 4 day event? We now have only 4 3d events and 7 4d events (and 4 7d events, but thats not relevant for planning...)

    Are we going to have a couple of new 3d events perhaps? Or more 3d boss battles? Or are more events gonna become flexible with 24h/48h subs from time to time?

    Or more likely, are the 3d gonna be repeated more often?

    Smart80:  As you pointed out, they are changing back and forth for some events.  (See Meet Rocket and Groot.)  HoD may be 3 days next time.  My guess is this is a way to change things up without creating a new event.  But that's just a guess.

    I personally don't mind changing it up, although we have had a lot of 48 hour events this week.

    I've enjoyed using the boosted combo of Peggy (champed) and SpiderWoman (lvl 250) this week. SW's black and purple have both saved my bacon on a few occaisions, I hadnt realised previously that my SW can remove countdown tiles (thought it was just strike/protect/attack tiles)

    And good golly, Peggy's blue when boosted is a match-ender. I know I am late to this party but I only champed her this week after a lucky Taco pull, and was able to respec her from 3 to 5 in blue

    I've been doing R4G, G4mora, Medusa on goon missions and Peggy, Iceman and IM40 on everything else. Man, Iceman's whiteout is absolutely brutal. Everyone at full health? Hmmm don't mind me just gonna use this purple. And now gonna do Whiteout. Everyone dead now.

    @mohio The first sub-chapter will be 48 hours long, and the following 2 sub-chapters will be the same 24 hour durations as before.

    Plot twist. Brigby lives in an alternate dimension where life moves slower so Hearts of Darkness hasn't started yet and hurricane Irma won't hit Florida for a while.
