Bubba3210 said: I made the mistake of playing deadly with a one cover doc ock and a solid four star roster. I cleared his nodes with whales each time. Match damage alone gave me one to two hour heal times for doc and deadpool. Deadly is firmly for the fives in our alliance. I don’t particularly like reviving my roster after each fight just to take another beating. @Brigby, it would have helped to know the deadly level was severely increased compared to the previous mission event.

Ok, so far so good, i’m fighting a bunch of heroes after all. But why is carnage in there as a one and done fight? Is it really asking so much to have some kind of coherent narrative, or at least a bit more explanatory dialogue or text. The option is there to skip past the ‘dialogue’ but I quite enjoy reading them from time to time, especially when they’re new. Another thing bugging me is that given this event was planned, why doesn’t the boost list have a bunch more villains in it? It’s not much to ask, that the boosted list be curated for special events - it happens for Ultron and Apocalypse so why not now? It just smacks of laziness more than anything else. The effort goes in to a new format, new ‘story’, new structure... but then nobody bothers to link up the other parts with the theme. Speaking of thematically consistent couldn’t we have replaced grey suit widow with Valkyrie in the 5* node? It’s not a big deal, obviously, but it’s another open goal missed.

It's not fair to compare an anniversary special event to a Christmas special event? There have been Christmas' that had better rewards/events than anniversary's in the past. If it was not any special event I'd give you that, but it still is. Also what is undoubtedly fair to compare is this to a normal boss event. IMO these rewards are worse than those. 2 LTs vs 1 is bad. Not to mention the cliff jump from 8 to 1 comparing with PoP.TL;DR - The rewards in this event are a joke. And this is why they are hesitant to give us anything nice. If they do it once, people can only compare it to that....And if you had bothered reading, you would have read my comparisson to boss events as well. (Its even in first paragraaf, so how lazy a reader are you?) So not sure why you repeat that as if you dont agree.. Anyway, I indeed think its not necissarily fair to expect the same or more here than from anniversary event. I stopped reading after what I quoted. No reason to insult me. I wasn’t insulting you just giving my opinion of the event and reacting to the first setnance that I didn’t agree with. Back on topic. So you’re suggestion is we should be happy when new events are worse than previous? Should we celebrate moving backwards? Shouldn’t we challenge mediocrede or worse? I wouldn’t be so upset if it was less rewards PoP was extremely generous, but making the reward worse than all alliance events for years is not ok and we should expess our frustration. Isn’t the whole point of having a forum to get the players opinions. These are mine, regardless of how anyone else feels about them. Edit: I went back and finished your post. So you insulted me for agreeing with you? Now I’m really confused...

I know L stands for long officially, but we all know what it really stands for, dont we?Funny you again decided to comment on me, before reading everything, seeing your Edit... Sure, you are entitled to your opinion and that indeed is what forum is for. Forum is also for reading though, especially if you decide to comment (and argue) with other forum users. Also helps with confusion..Once again, not saying the rewards are great, or even good, but did everyone take into account the node rewards, in comparing rewards to other events? Wont make enormous difference, but still, several cp, iso, ... Just wondering...
Heartbreaksoup said: Adding my voice to the chorus. The communication was shockingly bad. Our alliance, which is admittedly rarely a top 100 alliance, doesn't have 14 players who can manage Deadly. The initial idea was to send 10, which wasn't enough, and left some players like myself with egg on our faces because it's Deadlier than we predicted. (Deadlier than Places of Power, which is what I was expecting.)Unless the points are meant to increase exponentially over the next few days, most of our alliance won't be able to amass 37000 and get the Big Bads token. The announcement should have just said upfront that Deadly required 14 players. Then we'd have sent 10 to Hard instead, everyone would have performed better and we'd all be getting the points and rewards we wanted.
