    @Brigby: What will be the Progression color for lockjaw in army of one?
    Should be green. It's whatever color isn't given in placement.

    @Brigby    Will Hearts of Darkness this week be a 3 or 4 day event?  Thanks!

    That's correct. It will be green. I have updated that section of the document to include cover colors.

    It will be a 3 day event (technically 3.8 days, but close enough, right? :p )

    Doesn't that make it a 3-day event from the players' perspective?

    True. The 3.8 days means s1 starts 7 am thurs (my time) and s5 ends Mon at 3am.

    Great.  Another New release and PVP end time within 1 hr apart. 

    @Brigby. Why?   Why do they keep on doing this.  They didn't do this a lot and now it's all the time.  There are people that just cannot dedicate the time on the weekend to pve and just enough time for pvp.  Why can this not be advoided. It's like they are doing this on purpose.

    Of all the things people like to complain the end time "issue" should be way down the list. You don't really need to be playing pvp on the last hour.... It's a bad thing for alliances that merc around for placement, then that 1h window can be hard to manage everyone around. What am i missing here?

    Because not everybody can play pve for a new release with the crazy scores you need to be in top 100 ally for a new release and on a weekend.  Of HOD was a 4 day event that was before with the 48hr sub, then it wouldn't be an issue.  Yes people merc but they do for everything. Pvp, pve and sub pve. This isn't new.

    i really hope the 5tar-lord essential info will use that "Anything listed below is subject to change before release. " clause. it makes no sense for the rotation to go back to him.

    Was Star Lord in Latest Tokens when he was last essential? And now that he’s in classic, it randomly threw him back in the classic list?

    Nope. He was the first classic 5* essential. About 2 weeks after he left the newest tokens.

    Hi Everyone. Kate Bishop will unfortunately not be the featured character in Hearts of Darkness. Players usually would expect her, due to the placement reward for Unstable Iso-8, however in order to add The Punisher (MAX) as a featured character for this event, we had to break the usual pattern.

    We do not plan on adding her as a featured character in an event next week, however we will revisit her the net time she comes up in a few months.

    @Brigby, can you ask the devs if they could add Kate's progression cover, which would normally be in Hearts of Darkness, as a progression reward in an upcoming pve or pvp event?

    That's a weird bit of programming,  progression characters and required characters can't be set independently?

    Well, that's disappointing. That Blue cover would have let me champ her and save the four covers in my queue.

    I can't use Punisher's black, as that's the only colour he has at five.

    What the frack? My 1/8/3 Kate was kind of counting on that cover. And of all the covers to pick of course it's black, the only one my Punmax has five in. 

    This is kind of a janky move. I'm gonna assume this is due to the release of Punisher on Netflix and is beyond your control, so isn't really your fault, but that doesn't make it suck any less. 

    Just spitballing here, but a great way to apologize would be to give everyone the blue cover that would have been featured in progression anyway. 

    Oh, and the next time she's featured, can the placement reward order be purple, blue, black? Pretty please with sugar on top?

    Seriously? We just had him as a Latest, and instead of another Classic we haven't seen, we get a repeat? Boooooooooo!!!

    If memory serves, he was available in the one-off Cosmic Tokens at the time, along with Silver Surfer and Thanos.  That shouldn't reclassify him as a Latest character for that event, though.

    It's so annoying that they changed the 4* reward. I would have loved another cover for Kate Bishop :(

    I’m sure there are 2/5/5 pun max owners that are very happy....I have them both champed, so I’m impartial.
