      20 person LT with cumulative score for a 1k person leaderboard? Reading that right @Brigby?

      If "20 person leaderboards" means 20 person brackets, anyone recall what the top 20 rewards are in lightning rounds?

      We don't know yet if the LR rewards are simply LR with the rewards chopped at 20, or more likely scaled to the 20 participants.

      Wait just for joining I am guaranteed at least 1 Sakaar Arena Cover? Yes fighting for 10 will be a HUGE pain but giving EVERYONE a "free" 4 or 5 star is kinda nutty.

      Everyone on forums, every anniversary or holiday: OMFG BRING BACK 20 MAN LIGHTNING ROUNDS
      Devs: "Hey guys we slightly rebranded 20 man lightning rounds"
      Everyone: OMFG WHO HAS TIME FOR 20 MAN LIGHTNING ROUNDS
      Last time 20 man lightning rounds were every 7 hours.  Here, they're every 2 hours.  The above reaction is perfectly justified in view of this change.

      Haha... yeah check that token contents preview again. Legendary tokens, these are not. They -are- better than heroic tokens (depending on the odds, I suppose).

      Dang... got it confused with the Friends from Work Cover from the Thor article. Well I look forward to my 1 2 star.
