    I guess that explains why we've got Peggy Carter coming up as placement awards and then progression for both story and versus: there's an in-game news post advertising the Exiles issue featuring her.

    I wonder if it is going to be a 4* versus tournament after Black Widow, or if she'll just be a progression award in Captain Marvel's tournament?
    And probably becoming feeder for CWCap on thursday...
    We haven't had a feeder for a Latest Legends fivestar yet, I doubt we will get a feeder for a brand new one. If Peggy becomes a feeder, it will probably be for Civil War Cap.
    However, the Black Panther feeder came sooner than expected, so it may be we aren't getting a feeder this time around. They may have run Black Panther early to leave room to feature Peggy heavily without making her a fivestar feeder.
    I approve of featuring Peggy heavily by the way. She's awesome.

    Yes, that's what Smart said.

    As BBR already commented on the first part, i will not pile on.. ;-)

    I know it could be that we wont get a feeder and they just moved things around with bp4/5, but i choose to stay positive and hope for 2 feeders per season.. :-)

    And always loved her, eventhough i never get to use her anymore because of 5* tier and passive power nerf.

    Yeah, I certainly won't mind Another feeder. Well, I would mind a Little bit since my Civil War Cap is 5/0/2 so any more yellow covers are wasted, but at least my Peggy is high enough up that I already got the LT from that level. I will just have to see it as a gift of 2000 ISO instead.

    I really hope they do Peggy's PvP though. Particularly if they reuse the reward structure from the first run with extra covers in progression.

    My CWCap is 5/0/2 as well and a dupe at 2/0/0. My Peggy would make them 5/1/3 and 3/0/0 and 10 or so Peggy covers away from 9th yellow..

    Will the Heavily Guarded node in Thick as Thieves go away after sub 1 ends? Thanks in advance.

    It stays the whole time the event is running.

    @Brigby when are we going to get an updated version of the MPQ Sneak Peek May 2018 Edition?

    This seems like such a no-brainer.  And shouldn’t  stop adding of new feeders since there should be multiple 4’s feeding each 5 in the long run.
    I don't think they're going to do that.  The 4* tier is much bigger than any other tier, and they're still trying to restrict access to 5*.  I think each 5* is going to get one designated 4* feeder, and the rest of the 4* will keep LTs at those reward levels.

    It is precisely as I thought it would be, keeps the release order rule intact.  Cap followed JJ.

    I got 2 red covers for new Cap in his release store. Got lucky. Last time got Jessica when she entered the Latest. Hopefully I get lucky again with Iron Spider. I have been saving up my CP for it.

    I really don't get it.   

    They do realize that this rapid move of a new character into the 5* essential node actually PROMOTES hoarding, right?

    Good news on PVP 3* order front - the Cap M was a bait and switch with Peggy featured.  Looks like they had Spidey early for Comic Book day.

    Punisher is "correctly" next in order, then should be Hawkeye, but looks like Cage (who is after Hawkeye).  So some what back to the regular schedule.  Hawkeye might join Shulk on the forgotten pile!

    Don’t worry. Hawkeye will return for Avengers 4 when they discover arrows are Thanos’ only weakness!

    I just want one shot of Rocket and Thanos staring each other down. The size difference would make for a fantastic visual.

    Requiring the 5* Cap right out of the gate like that is a mucho buzzkill.
