    @fmftint LOL. Come on.  Only when it hurts them will they fix something quickly.

    There doesn't seem to be double ISO for Lightning rounds.  Also, last year, double iso also applied to intercept bonuses, but not this year?
    I had thought the bonuses were doubled too, but thought maybe I had been remembering that wrong. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.

    I really liked the idea of hazard tiles in PVE but it seems like a really bad addition to PvP.

    X-men themed event. With no boosted x-men. Sounds about right. 
    Really wanted to play with Iceman and was looking forward to Danger Room. What a completely wasted opportunity.

    Anyone figured out the description for Danger Room?
    "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.

    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
