    Anyone else think that boosted list screams out for a boss event? Boss killers on every tier.

    Well I'm thinking/hoping that the new SHIELD Training will be set up similar to Crash where you won't be required to have an essential character at a certain level but that it would definitely help you out. So if a node has a high level enemy then if you can last long enough to kill them off with whales you could still progress instead of essentially being denied the ability to play the node because your Rogue or Elektra isn't a high enough level.

    Yellow 4* Rocket and Groot cover from progression?

    That's exactly what my 2/4/0 R&G needed!

    I don't have Elektra, so there goes my chance for a free cover... again. I wonder how high the level requirements are this time though.

    My Elektra and Invisible Woman are fully covered.

    My Rogue only has 3 covers though. Hopefully there is no cover requirement for Rogue seeing as how she's barely a month old.

    She will enter the packs so you can cover her if you have CP & luck. At least that is my plan. I gathered 500 CP since she entered the game, and I'm planning to pursue her with them. I will post the results on the forum (until now I have 25 classics potential pulls - going on 26 by thursday - and 10 LTs - but probably waiting on Gambit with those -)

    Hunt???!?? Release event in article was Thick as Thieves with Hunt as event after.
    @Brigby
    I hope that is an error. Having only a single day to work through The Hunt's second sub-bracket is extremely grindy.

    Well, you have to get her to level 209. So that's something like 10 covers.


    Ooooh... 3* system reboot. Lets get those rumors moving, people.

    I'm going to put my money on Ragnarock for the 3* change given the Thor movie is coming out. There are some who need it worse, but that's not typically how they prioritize.

    So Rogue level 209 will be required to get a Nightcrawler cover from Shield Training. That's cute.

    With the last run of SHIELD Training, it looked like it was mostly "extra covers for veterans", since it required well covered versions of vintage characters that hadn't been featured for a long time.  If they're keeping the level 209 requirement but adding Rogue as an essential, then it is more "extra covers for big spenders".

    It's not necessarily a bad thing for them to introduce new incentives for the big spenders, but it wasn't obvious the first time around that this is what the SHIELD Training event was for.

    The Time Gem Season Updates thread says it'll be Nick Fury and Psylocke.

    Oh god no!!!! The Hunt!!!!!! Urgh. 

    At least its only 3 days this time, but the repetition of the same combo of opponents in every fight for 3 days is still too much.

    @Brigby article still says Thick as Thieves and this say Hunt.  Can we please get an answer.  This makes a world of differnace with pve and pvp ending 1 hr apart.  Need to plan for this.

    Hi @The rockett. The Hunt is the correct upcoming event. Thick as Thieves is anticipated to be run on the 22nd.

    @Brigby thanks but this is terrible.  Another new release with a pve and pvp ending 1 hour apart again. Can this please be stopped

    Can't you just select time slots that end further apart?

    Just do a 3-8hr shield before an event ends. PVP is out of the way and then you can focus on your end grind and the clears of the new pve event.

    He's talking about for alliance rewards, not personal rewards.
