Ducky said: @mexus those mini-events also are only 6-8 nodes in depth. This event is much larger. @Alsmir There absolutely was complaining, or did you forget they had that 5SL essential node that barely anyone could play. This event is no different than that. You can play some of the nodes, but not all.

Here and in pretty much every other game I've played, Anniversary Events are chock full of goodies that are easily accessible to everyone, as long as you've been playing for longer than say 3 weeks.

Why do people keep referring to this as an "anniversary" event? Did I miss something in the announcement? I don't recall them ever saying this was "THE" anniversary event or even that it was an anniversary event at all. The only anniversary-related announcement I remember is the one for the anniversary sale.I was actually assuming that this wasn't an anniversary event and that the anniversary festivities weren't really starting until next Tuesday or Thursday. I was also assuming that "THE" anniversary event would be announced next week, but it looks like maybe I'm wrong. If this was the only special anniversary event we're getting, color me disappointed.

smkspy said: Saltiness went way high in thread since I went to bed. Don't really blame.you guys either, as for someone with all 3 required xmen already, I never even considered that you had to also level each one with a ton of iso to reach that one grand epic...4 star rogue cover.So saltiness of losing out on 4 cp and LT seems small in comparison of the leaps and hoops people have to jump thru to obtain one 4 star cover.I'm still salty about that 10k iso though, that's just the cherry on top.
bluewolf said: I understand the anger and frustration felt by many. But consider this:Unless I am wrong, until now, you have NEVER been able to collect a 4* cover on day 1 without spending many $'s or having extreme luck. Is it gated? yes. Is it unfair to some? Maybe. But dilution is a bigger culprit here than anything else.Anyone who has the correct characters can collect a brand new 4* cover with minimal effort and playtime on Day 1, not wait 4 days while hoping to place high enough. That is pretty cool.Early character access is one of the most valuable commodities in this game. The tokens have bad odds because to some people will literally pay almost anything to have the character first. Bragging rights are highly valued by super whales. If odds were better, then more players (even some FTP's with saved HP) would be running new 4's out of the gate, and the allure of "first" would not drive sales. So we should not be surprised or disappointed that the common player won't get covers from the store.I had another thought too: there are players that are hardcore X-men fans. You probably have a champ that is not great in game, but you champed as a fan. XFW and Prof X both fit that to some degree. So people who champed the X-Men as fans, get a nice bonus this time, as a much requested X-character enters the game.Finally, a lot of people bring up past events that rewarded 4* covers to anyone who could beat the nodes. None of those events were available day 1. It was usually about a week or so later. So the argument does not hold up when considering my earlier point: early character access is very, very valuable.Rogue will be a progression reward in the next PVE. She may be a reward in an upcoming boss event. You will be able to cover and champ Rogue if you put in the playtime.

I said that 10k was "an hour's worth" of ISO. Meaning that you can get that in 1-1.5 hours of playing every day by either playing DDQ (which actually only takes 15 minutes) or when you are doing your PvE initial or final grind (assuming you do PvE).

broll said: Lucifier said: if you can make 20k iso in 1 hours play, does not mean it is 20k iso / hour. Correct... No one said that... If you assumed it then... you know how assumptions work :-p The overall point is that 10K or 20K is not a lot in the global scheme of the game. I make on average 53K per day. Yeah it would be nice to get the extra 10K reward at the end, but over the course of time (unless this becomes a regular event) I'm not gonna notice the difference of not getting it. It's certainly not worth throwing hundreds of dollars or thousands of saved up HP chasing champing a new character instantly.
