Thank you... (Loaner nodes)

For finally listening to all the complains about the loaners node in PVE and doing something about it.

Hope ditching the essentials 2* and 3* and providing a moderate high level 4* is the standard for all the old events moving on.

I know most would prefer just a 1 time and done but this appears to be the next best approach, just bring your Thanos/Grocket/best aoe you have, and clear your way to victory.

EDIT: I just realized they also boosted the enemies levels, so, they're still doing trade offs I guess...

    This was a nice quality of life improvement, and hopefully does something to show off the featured 4* more than usual (having them covered and boosted, for junior rosters that might not be familiar with them outside of shield training)

    I’d be happy to see this change in more PVE’s

    Loaner node for the Hunt (on main page) only requires 4* Black Cat, not 3* Colossus and 2* Hawkeye.

    The loaner Black Cat is specced 5/4/4, and boosted to level 404

    Thanks abenness for the explanation.

    I guess different SCL has different boost level? In SCL 7, she's boosted to 385. 

    That is a good compromise and an additional opportunity to showcase 4* characters.

    I thought it seemed different when I played it last night, but I don't really track these things that closely to have truly noticed the source of the improvement. Especially not from event to event.
    Let's hope they all get set this way ad we never have to think about it again.

    They also updated the loaner for Meet Rocket and Groot to just require running the 4E.

    It's looking like a good trend....

    We're still twisting a couple knobs on these changes, so I don't quite want to post something and have it invalidated like 48 hours later, but assuming people are liking it, I'll get you all some more exact info on what's changed here "Soon(tm)".  But overall, yeah, this was on purpose, not just some random glitch in the matrix.
    It's a great Quality of Life improvement. Thank you!

    Could you also provide information on whether the point refreshes are still calculated on a round up from the nearest 0.5, or if they have been changed to a round down system? Thanks! (:
