    Mmmmm... Strange Sights... double ISO on that Kaecilius node each day, plus the daily alliance rewards...
    Is the rewards for CL 9 still the old way for Strange sights, giving 3x tokens? Might be worth jumping up to CL9 with boosted grocket for all that extra iso

    I'm guessing rocket won't be boosted 2 events in a row, and this boost list ends with this event, though we can always hope for him being boosted twice

    Fantastic with Ant-Man giving 5* Wasp covers.  Finally there'll be a new character where I won't be locked out of their 5* essential node for months because I don't hoard and have appalling luck on the special and latest legendary tokens.

    Huh.  This is the first time that they've released a feeder for someone in Latest.  Well, even before she's in Latest, actually, since she won't be in for another two weeks.

    Neat way to promote the movie, really.  Now I need to think about my hoarding.

    I’ll ask the obvious - why isn’t 4* wasp feeding 5* wasp?
    Because the movie is Ant-Man & The Wasp not Wasp & Wasp obviously. Just joking. I agree it would seem like the obvious choice, but the Devs have very complex algorithms and calculations that determine which 4* feeds which 5* and this was the result.  ;)

    Well, one could make an argument that this Wasp is more closely related to 4* Antman (being essentially the same as the movie version,) than 4* Wasp (being essentially a completely different version of her, I think, and Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne's daughter.)  Honestly, the answer is almost certainly, "they felt like it, and they wanted to echo the movie title more than they wanted to have it echo the character."  It's a hell of a better connection than Jubilee to Phoenix.  I mean, in descending order, the following characters make more sense to feed Phoenix than Jubilee:

    Jean Grey, Cyclops, Wolverine (though he feeds someone else already, that isn't the point,) Professor X, Nightcrawler...

    Woah - a just released char getting a feeder already, free 4* covers, double iso events, good deals offered, extra events for more iso and all for a movie that's arguably one of the lesser in the MCU.  

    Imagine what they would do if there was a big tent-pole release this year, say celebrating 10 years of MCU movies as an example, I can't wait to see what they offer then...

    You guys have done more for the Ant Man and Wasp movie than you did for Infinity War. That'd kind of sad honestly.
    the release for that one got moved up they didnt manage to get everything they wanted for that in on time
    I'm betting bumping up the schedule had a lot of games scrambling. At least this game already had an event that was appropriate to run.

    I love how Ant-Man's new movie is getting more of an in-game celebration than we did for Infinity War.

    It blows my mind that not doing a thing for the biggest event in MCU history took y'all to learn that actually providing incentives to customers is a sound business strategy. Nevertheless, at least a lesson was learned from it. Congrats on not being totally tone deaf.

    Woo, no AP carry over in wave nodes, and upper limit on enemies.  Gosh.

    Unbelievable.  B) This month and the previous month had a number of changes, mostly good or great. Feeder for a new 5* is a first in MPQ. Let's see if there are more history-breaking movements.

    It blows my mind that people keep saying that they didn't do anything for Infinity War.

    I can understand being dissatisfied, but lying to make things seem worse than they actually were isn't helping anyone.
    What did they do that was different than previous release cycles?  Boss event?  happens once a month now.  Releasing 4* and 5*?  still happening pretty much on the same schedule for the last several years.  

    Compare it to the 12 days of Christmas.  https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/69442/12-days-of-marvel-updated-12-13-17/p1

    https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/72313/infinity-war-new-supports-vaults-and-stores-4-25-18/p1

    lets start with comparing a 300 vault with a 41.  how about the special 4* vault with 42.5% chance of 12 of really good 4*, with some that would definitely be in everyone's top 5 or 10. Or the HFH for Thanos that was 450, instead of 250 for normal classic 5*, because of the extra, greatly valued, new supports.  instead of trying to  let us have these new things, they wanted you to have to spend extra for them.  and then they probably wonder why we all see supports as a cash grab. 

    did they do *something* for infinity war?  yes.  but did they *really* do something special for the culmination for a 10 year journey?  cmon.  and don't act like the moved up date matters.  did we get a bunch of cool stuff a couple weeks later?  nope.  we got what we were going to get.  Supports.  something they would have rolled out, with or without the movie.
