    Gotta say @Brigby the fact that you need 10 covers of a character that is just joining packs today in order to get a Nightcrawler cover is.... well it feels bad. Means since I didn't spend like $500+ on Rogue I don't get Nightcrawler.

    You get Nightcrawler the same way you did every other hero before him. It's a bonus for the people who whaled him, it doesn't in any way make it harder than it ever was for you to roster him.

    @stewbacca it's the fact that not all players can play pve on the weekends, which is when the new releases are.  Therefore it hurts the ally with these events so close together. I just want to take can of our ally the best we can and this just makes it harder.

    3* and 4* placement from Category-5 - Storm (Mohawk) is incorrect. It's not Nick Fury and Dr. Doom, it's Nightcrawler and Captain Marvel.

    Thick as Thieves preview already up. Yondu for placement. Black Bolt is the 5* essential

    One of the 5*s I don't have rostered. It was bound to happen sooner or later, just wish it wasn't for Yondu. Really could have used placement covers for him. 

    Maybe I'll check out CL9, since there's no way I'll get T10/5 in 7 or 8.

    Also, this should mean Yondu will qualify to have his Crash. Pretty much puts the nail in the coffin for Vulture's chances though.

    I don't have DocOc or Daredevil. I play cl9 after a flip and have been able to get the 4* from placement even when they were required

    Yeah, I was planning on waiting for at least one if not two flips. I'm also planning on cracking my hoard as soon as Gambit enters tokens, and Bolt is my lone 5* BH, so I might get lucky and be able to do some of the 5* nodes before the event ends.

    Don't know if you will manage to get t10 without tje req 5*. My best performance in cl9 was #29 and the 5* missions made the difference. Without the 5* I would have ended a lot lower

     That's what I'm saying. Without the 5*, I have no shot at decent placement in CL7, 8, or 9, so I might as well check out 9. Slightly better progression, at least.

    Huh? Nightcrawler PvP starts at the same time as his featured PvE?

    For me it's pretty much irrelevant as I never have enough covers to not use the loaner reqardless if it's 3 days later.

    But it's a definite change.

    No lag time between events is unusual.  Shield Training is running, barely, through the PVP.  We don’t want to have extra time to earn covers, nope.

    Translation: “We need money.” (?)

    @Brigby this is looking a little stale - Cat 5 finished we are already well into BAMF dancing and TAT - we are going to need to rename this thread "Don't look back in Anger" soon and you guys couldn't afford the Oasis royalties for that!

    5* Thor is viable in game from the roster UI screen.  Is this an oopsie?  Typically new characters aren't in here until their available aka their release event, which for 5* Thor is as of yet unannounced.

    Also this makes the recent release 5*, 4*, 5* when they are typically 5*, 4*, 4*.  Is this a change to release frequency or is Thor just being rushed up due to the movie release?
