Fight for Wakanda... again... already?

All the people dropping down remember lots of people live in those CL and your 5 star rosters are taking bread right out of their mouths.

The only reason for this event is that they probably noticed a drop in health pack sales.

The irrational hate every time the newest event is run is always entertaining.

What’s so irrational about it? You enjoy being hit for thousands of damage before the enemy team even gets to act?

I wouldn't know what that's like because I play an SCL where my roster is capable of handling the event without much difficulty.

The irrational bits are scattered everywhere else in this thread, like implying the event is only run because of a lack of healthpack sales (as if the devs are going to not run their newest PVE event?), or that we got this event at the expense of requests made by the forums (making a faulty assumption about the process of game design AND implying the players have better ideas than the devs themselves, which is a little silly if you actually pay attention to forum ideas), the unnecessary vitriol about how awful this event is, the absurd claims that people would rather do something else a thousand times than play this event (even if the alternative would ruin the game), so on, and so forth.

This thread has more hyperbole than fact or logical thought.

And the worst part? This has happened every time there has been a new event added to the game. Come Christmas, people will like FFW, and will be full of bile for the next event.

People here aren't trying to make things better, they just want to complain, so nothing useful will come of these threads beyond providing entertainment for those of us who don't see the same need to be grumpy about everything.

I’m only here to complain. I’ve made suggestions in the appropriate places after this event was run the first time. I thought my ideas were actually a good solution to the neutral tile issue. But my idea was completely ignored and died without any sort of acknowledgement from anyone. 

So again, I’m just here to gripe.

If you posted in the suggestion forum, at the top of the thread, it says "Your suggestions and Feedback are being read". Inside the thread, it also says

Please know that while we cannot offer a direct response to each post - we value your feedback and take everything written here into consideration.

As for FfW, the first run of the first sub was a hard hitter. My roster were pretty much dead after all 4 clears. I was playing SCL 7 with about 10 to 15 champed 3* at that time. I also remember that someone created a thread saying that Quake is useless or something to that effect before FfW was revealed. Talk about coincidence. 

Anyway, FfW isn't that difficult. I have already expected that they would be running FfW due to release of Okoye. But FfW came early by one event?

I don't mind the event so much.  It would have been nice if Nico wasn't essential again.  She makes the shield hazard tiles a lot more painful by buffing them up before they inevitably get flipped when you miss a countdown.

I don't have anything on the vine and I don't really care about nico so I'm skipping this event entirely. Play a little PvP and just enjoy a break.

It’s Wakanda forever!!

Not Wakanda for sometimes!!

It's something to be cherished and remembered, not cheapened by excessive use of the event. For this reason they should only run Fight for Wakanda in the middle if Nevruary.

I'd be happy if they ran Strange Sights this often, though. Let's push for that!

I like the first day. I run Daredevil luckily and he spams  strike tiles from damage taken and heals right back up. I can see it being annoying otherwise. I don’t even bother matching the damage tiles, I use them to my advantage.

Yeah, Daredevil is extra awesome in Wakanda. Haven't used him yet as my newly champed Ghost Rider chews through Everything anyway, but I suppose it is only a matter of time...

The rockett

When they first ran this event, there were some issues that people were trying to find out what was to happen since the discreption on what D3/Demi built was not happing in game.  

Issues with first run:

-Even though the Vibranium tiles were to be neutral, they acted as the opposing teams tiles.  They only did damage to you, not them. They fixed this for next run. 

-Loaner Nodes- We all were asking for info on these since we didn’t have any info. At the end of the event you had to grind out 3 loaner nodes. That was way to much.  They fixed this for next run. 

-I know I am forgetting something. 

So yes, people complained because the language that they used when they build this event did not fit what was happening in game.  So should we not talk about it?  Stay quite?  At least these issues were fixed for the next run and tbh it was a lot better.   Personally I have no issues with this pve, at least it is a new event and not the same ones over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Another benefit of the KABOOM tiles - If you've got 5-star Thor, it takes almost no time at all for his passive to start triggering.  After going through each of the essential nodes four times (2-5 star), my Thor is down to about 7000 health, down from his max of about 54K (Time to full health - 20 hours, 40 minutes).  Strange is down about 25K health as well.

We rarely get 7 day events anymore.  And let’s not mention the last time the gauntlet was run.

My sources say it's been over a year. I miss Gauntlet so very much.

 I’m just going to say that anyone who thinks the game should stress puzzle solving over speed should be singing high praises of FFW.  You can’t say it’s easy or fast.

I suppose I don’t mind it, but Nico!  Stop buffing the tinykitty protect tiles (at least for sub 2)!

I started my Thor at half Health. Paired with my newly maxed Ghost Rider and America Chavez, it was very rare the explosions had time to go off Before I won the match.

It’s a bad sign when I am yearning for the return of Venom Bomb. 

That at said I really like Enemy of the State and wish it was run more.

The freaking Nico gateway node took longer than it did to do all four clears of the trivials.  

Let's stop pretending the stupid subatomic feline hazards are "neutral".  Give us back the ability to manage them as enemy tiles (Invisible Woman, Doctor Octopus, Drax, etc.).
