    Hate to be "That guy" but I'm actually pretty disappointed. Hopefully there's more...

    The rockett said:
    Hate the limited characters again.  Just wish these 4* would not be like that since rosters slots get expensive.....oh wait.   
    Spider-Ham is exactly the sort of character that should be limited. I hope he is super fun but nothing too OP. Taskmaster was a mistake as limited but SH is not a problem to me.

    Well @Brigby if that is just the warm up then I really don't know what Anon wants as the main event. Good job on the Spider verse tie-in, looks fun.

    Please tell me Spider-Ham is being released over Christmas via a boss event, at least, and I’m not supposed to grind some pve on Christmas Day again. 

    The weekend before or after Christmas?  Fine.  But seriously????? 12/24????

    Christmas is on a Tuesday so probably middle of a PVE that starts on Monday or Sunday.

    Yay for Doc Oc revamp. Strange that they didn't put Green Goblin in the vault as well.

    Spider-Ham is swinging into Marvel Puzzle Quest on 12/24 as a Limited 4-Star character! Stay tuned for the full details.

    Exactly, the Event starts 12/24.  Which is a mid week event, and will be in full swing (unless maybe a 48) on Christmas Day.  I guess a 4 day Meet Rocket and Groot would be fine.

    This Spider-Ham release has "Naughty List" written all over it.

    I cannot express myself further without triggering a word filter.

    At least you delivered the disappointment two weeks in advance so we know not to get our hopes up. (seriously, new Sinister 600 event, Spider-Verse tie-ins, you finally are trying to fix busted 5's, and then, what, decided you needed to balance the scales by doing everything in your power to make the Spider-Ham release miserable? so people will feel compelled to compete for a Limited character during Christmas, the one damn time of the year they shouldn't be playing this game?)

    The 24th is Monday, not mid-week. That’s an early release with a 3-day event. Competitive completionists go for it, while others go, “Limited? I’ll just relax for the holiday.”

    In exchange for Spider-Ham being limited, could you remove the limitation from Taskmaster please? He really doesn’t deserve to be stuck gathering dust...
