Will there be a sneak peek on the covers prior? 

As in "these are the covers that you'll be able to get", then no. But "Will I see the choices before I fight" then yes. They're listed as node rewards for that day.

Thanks for all the responses IceIX, much appreciated, can you tell us who it is😎

Nope, that's what the Patch Notes and App Store previews are for.

So awesome to see some actual communication here. Thanks so much for not just making the announcement, but sticking around and answering some questions. 

Greatly appreciated and very refreshing.

Hope it is a sign of change going forward.

I don't know about "change" per se, but I used to communicate quite often here as well. Lately I had been working on Puzzle Quest Switch, so the past few months I'd been hard pressed to juggle both MPQ duties and that. As much as I hate it that it does, forum communication ranked lower than getting Marvel approvals on content, and there are only so many hours in a day.

This looks pretty cool, can't wait to try it out.

Bowgentle

Please don't run this just once and then let it disappear forever.
I mean, "see how players like it"... You really don't think anybody will complain about more rewards in a non-competitive mode?

Oh, and bring back Support Circuit while you're at it.

 Really looking forward to the next character though, in internal balancing they're looking to be about as meta shaking as the new Juggs. So not necessarily meta defining, but definitely pretty cool.

Actually the new Juggs is IMHO a T10 character in the 4* tier and T5 for PvE. When paired with Grocket/Guardian even at L168 I can clear the PvE nodes 95% as fast as I could when I have 5* Thanos on that same team without the health pack usage. He may not help 5* player to the same extent obviously.

So if the next 4* character is anywhere close to that then I can't wait because prior to Juggs, Bishop was really the last 4* character that was a T10 and meant anything in the 4* realm.

P.S. Looking forward to the new event and like many others here I hope you run it regularly (ideally like DDQ but at least once a month say during PvP offseason).

HoundofShadow

I hope 4* Juggernaut or Taskmaster will be the 4* covers.

If there are wave nodes, I hope the enemies' aps won't get reset.

abenness

Also looking forward to this, and appreciate the communication!

Sounds awesome, thanks Ice.

As long as it will be an additional daily quest, I am all for it! 
But please don't get rid of DDQ
In the meantime, skipping a week for the new character release, is a good idea too. If they could make it permanent, with a new release every three weeks (instead of two), it will be a good thing for the game, giving time to players (especially newbes) to catch up with the game  

MrEd95

Will you be locked into a path on the first day? Or can you pick whichever node is better for you on the day? 

Also, can we expect to see newer 4*s like juggs and human torch, or is there going to be a ton of classics like x force Wolvie and Fury?

Other than those questions, this looks great, and I really hope it becomes a regular thing running on a 5 day rotation like the DDQ.

I have a lv 229 Juggernaut and he's just slaughtering Enemy of the State. Granted he's boosted to 320 so that helps but still. The only thing slowing him down right now are the stupid Teisastu attack tiles. It'll be interesting to see how he does once I can get him champed.

Two things here:

1. Looks like a great addition
2. Big appreciation on the communication and responses

Alfje17

Sounds interesting and might explain why DDQ has been on auto-pilot for the last few weeks.

The new event sounds cool.  I have a ton of 4's with 12 covers... hopefully I'll get lucky in GPP.  What's Amadeus's Inferno and will we ever see it again?  I've just over a year playing so I haven't seen all those old events....

Amadeus' Inferno was another version of the 5 day, one node a day, event that rewards a Cho cover.  Will we see it again....doubt it, I guess.  It debuted when Cho was released, and I think it had one run after that, maybe.

I (and others) have advocated that they re-run some of these events, switch out the cover you get, etc.  But this Gpool thing works as well (better, since you get a 2 and 3 as well) and gives you a choice, which is nice.

"Congrats! You just won a 4* cover! Now enter a correct Gwenpool code to unlock it!"

If it does that let me redeem first.  Pretty much guaranteed I would end up putting in the code for Talos

MrEd95

Sounds like a bit of a blend of elements from growth industry/Amadeus inferno/the coulson one, mixed with some system reboot and a dash of civil war or strange sights’ choose a side

Will we be locked into one "fanfic" from the start?  Or do we get to choose one each day?

Xception81

I love the thought, but honestly I’m going to be a bit sad wondering what the other fanfic says. Grass is always greener kinda thing. I hope people screenshot and post, so we can read the node we don’t do. 

jgomes32

Don't make this a one time thing like you did with Crash of the Mad Titan. As a matter of fact, bring that one back too, all 3, daily non competitive/time restricted pve.

Each day gives two different scenarios that you can choose between. The scenarios are unconnected from the previous day's scenarios. Think of it like the Cinema Showdown event, but instead of one node unlock a day you get two and doing one locks the other.
