    "buffed characters of your choice"? How do I buff the ones I wanna buff?

    It's a completely regular PVP with a boost list.
    Ignore the description.

    Maybe it also means that the buffed 4* are the ones in the fan favorite LT.

    X-men themed event. With no boosted x-men. Sounds about right. 
    Hey now.
    I'm sure they TRIED changing the boost list, but there was just not enough time!
    Not their fault anniversary comes around unexpectedly each year.
    You have to admit, their excuses are helluva entertaining.

    "But you're supposed to lose"
    "We didn't play the 5* tier"
    " We didn't have time to prepare for the anniversary"

    Any others? We can make a forum drinking game :)

    It's referring to the fan favorites.  It's a per-determined list from a previous poll.

    Double iso alone makes the event a success in my book. Went from being almost dry to having a nice stash saved up for my next couple 4* champs.

    Except double ISO only available for a few events.   Intercepts don't have them, LR don't have them.  The game should be moving forward, not back.  Giving out less rewards is not a celebration.

    So from that, I stand by my statement that this this is not an anniversary, its any other week of the year just with double iso

    More like any other week with double iso, Devil Dinosaur covers (who isn't available any other week), a vault with 20% 4* covers (which doesn't happen any other week AFAIK - most vaults are more like 5%), multiple events that all give tokens for said vault (which doesn't happen any other week, unless you count DDQ, which isn't the same thing), a Devil Dino PvP and two crashes (which doesn't happen any other week) - oh, and events with party hats. 

    And even then, it's still not "any other week" since it also includes a boss event, which only happen ca every six weeks. 

    I wasn't playing last year, so I don't know what they gave then that they didn't this time (apparently they gave out more anniversary tokens), but I was able to take Devil Dino from 0 to 14 (and counting) covers and champion two 4*s with enough ISO for a third and I expect to get enough for a fourth by the time the event ends. Of course, some of that was because I hoarded HP for the anniversary vault and champing Devil Dino may be a waste, but still.

    I was hoping for a little more and was a tad bit disappointed  - especially by not getting double ISO for lightning rounds - but only a little.

    All events have the double iso. They have now announced double iso LRs next week (not great for my schedule, but very considerate.). It was a mistake not to run double iso LRs.  They are making up for it.

    Intercepts are separate from events and can't be "doubled".  Also, I believe if they decided to make intercepts double iso, that would mean removing all other rewards (HP, CP, tokens).  Finally, doubling a reward that only goes to paying customers isn't as cool as the events open to anyone, FTP or not.

    Of course intercepts CAN be doubled.
    They did it last year.

    I was really looking forward to those 4k intercepts. They were so glorious.

    Back then the drop rates for 2k ISO intercept was still high. That meant 4k ISO bombs were da man!

    But that means you have to actually pull a 2000 reward, and those only happen when a full moon is out now.

    And I don't know...well, I do...where you guys are getting all this double iso from. Seriously, you must be playing the SIM and PvPs 24/7 right now

    PVE and PVP progression rewards doubled are a nice sum, then there's alliance rewards for PVP and PVE - those add up when you're dual T10.

    Then there's A LOT of 500 ISO per PVP victory, and you can easily farm with Carol Blade Medusa.

    Depending on where you are with your roster it can really add up.

    Yes, I started PVP early, went to 900+ 3 times, then dumped to re-climb.
    It's been fun.

    When this is over will they increase the top XP level?

    What prevented that from happening at the start of this?

    Since DP vs MPQ starts before anniversary is over, it's a double ISO event correct?

    Well there was no essential character you had you use, therefore you could use any 3 of the buffed characters.

    Hmmm, really tempted to pull the 40 pack to likely finish off the anni vault. Figure I'll be at 58-59 pulls by end of the season. Sitting on 17k right now, but hard to decide if 9800 HP is worth it. 

    Only downside would be that I would have to champ my dino, which I planned to do anyway one day, but was looking to take a 4 star champ break since besides him all my 4s max covered fours are champed as of today and only vulture is close at 2/5/5.

    This was a great anniversary. I had lots of anniversary tokens that I pulled, loved the double ISO (should have more often) and the events were fun.
