    The Gauntlet
    7-Day Events
    Mini events like Growth Industry (I think TA Hulk had one as well as Coulson, who's added in a to be continued we've never gotten...)
    System Reboot

    Amadeus Inferno was Cho's one (which I think they may have re-run last year maybe?)

    wasn't the prologue "to be continued" also?  or something like that.  

    I think the gauntlet should be a tab that replaces the prologue when you finish it.  Once you finish the prologue you can't even replay it to reread the story at your leisure, or experiment with teams; so why even have it there?  They should put a gauntlet type event that is 1 week long and just have it reset at the end of the week.  Even if the rewards are small (ie 100 iso, no tokens), at least it gives people something to do during boss runs or 2 day subs; and it makes up for some of the iso lost during boss runs.

    Every time they re-run Hearts of Darkness I hope that they'll dust off Amadeus's Inferno. It's the epilogue to the EotS / HoD "trilogy"; it's one of only two instances where you can fight Galactus outside of his boss event; and (most importantly) it gives a free Cho cover!

    Hec, I'd be happy if they retooled Amadeus' Inferno as a fourth sub in Hearts of Darkness....

    That period of like 3 months (maybe more) where it seemed like very single update broke something for someone.  And serious game breaking things like crashes, won't load, event won't advance, etc.  It became a thing for many to turn off auto updating and wait to see if the forums freaked out about a bug before updating.

    Those were dark times.

    I can't tell you exactly when it ran, but it did, because that's the only time I've played it. 

    I also think it was run as an attempt to test rewarding a random Cho cover to each player rather than a set one, but there was a bug that ended up auto-rostering the cover, even if you already had Cho, and even if you had no open roster slots. So for instance, it would read as 146/145 slots available, and you could potentially have a 1/3/3 Cho then a 0/1/0 Cho. I can't remember how they ended up resolving that one.

    • People have mentioned Health Packs, but I don't see any mention of true healing (ie. Black Widow).
    • Pre-nerf X-Force, Rags, Magneto, Sentry, Hood, Thoress, Logan etc...
    • Time lags between events, no concurrent.

    The one I miss the most is the healing when you leveled a character.

    They said long ago that health packs were not a significant revenue stream, that was one of the main factors when they increased the free cap to 10 from 5.
    Which just makes me wonder why they didn't reverse true healing.
    I don't think there are people out there using OBW to heal up their poor battered Gambit.

    Having health be a finite resource still impacts how people play the game. Some of the decisions they make are gameplay-based and not financial based.

    I have an almost borderline mania for not healing characters between fights even if I have 10 healthpacks leading to soooooooo many wrong decisions on my part but also weirdly compulsive. I guess it feels even better to win a fight when your character is at less than 100%.
