    That Cosmic Chaos placement reward can't be right.
    I assume you’re playing at SCL 7+, but  beginning players are playing for 2* covers at the lowest SCLs.

    I was thinking the same thing. Kamala as the reward? A huge Marvel event for her?

    Are we going to get details on the new story?  So are there new goons, survival nodes, boss nodes etc.

    All will be revealed when you play it....or when Slice 1 does, at least.

    From what I know, it has the same event structure as any other Story Event, except that it has a Captain Marvel themed story line.

    First of all, thank you very very much for making the loaner a one-time node!!! Although it has been fun seeing an rival over clear it by accident, it has always been annoying to grind, especially with newer 4* essentials. Much appreciated!

    And everybody must agree its good to see such a variety of opponents, right? Also, liked the 1v1, although I probably would have swapped the 1v1 in main with the 3v1 in sub1.. Really appreciate the variety though!

    And finally a reduction of the boring trivial nodes! Yeah! Ok, we got a trivial wave2 in return, but at least that saves some no-game clicking.. Wondering if its a bug that wave timer doesnt start before you hit it 4 times instead of the usual 2 times? ( @Brigby ?)

    Its only day 1 of 4, but im enthousiastic!

    I'll have to double check if the wave timer starting at 4 clears is intentional or not, but I'm glad to hear you like the rest of the event design!

    Update: It looks like the wave timer starting after 4 clears is in fact a bug, and the team is working on fixing it. Thanks for the heads up!

    Thanks @Brigby  While you're checking that out, would you kindly ask about the points for that sub?  Generally, a wave node is worth more than a standard node.  However, this wave node is worth about the same amount of points as a standard second easy node.  Should it be higher points with only 2x hits before the timer starts?

    lol....I noticed the lower points, but not the fact the the timer didn't start after 2 clears...just assumed and moved on!

    I'll have to double check, but my speculation is that each node can be manually assigned to have a certain behavior or structure (regular node, wave, boss, etc etc), which is why the wave node now requires 4 clears before timer starts and also mimics the same point rewards.

    If that's correct, then I speculate the process of fixing the 4 clear bug would subsequently also fix the point value for it.
    Well then I hope the people that normally only play to progression pay attention. Wave nodes only need to be cleared 2 times normally while doing regular nodes 4 times to achieve max progression.

    I did pretty well from that vault: with the free token plus two 10-packs, I got both the Captain Marvel and Nick Fury covers.  Opening the heroic tokens I'd also pulled gave me a second Captain Marvel with Namor as a bonus hero.

    The Captain Marvel vault is a good deal, especially if you compare it to the HfH offer of C4rol for 3600 HP.
