    Maybe my memories are skewed, but wasn't the anniversary once a big deal? New events and/or boss event(s), several new characters, lots of resources and vaults...

    Everything that happened felt like it was warming up for something bigger that never came.

    Yes, I greatly appreciate double ISO, but was that really it?

    My complaints going into anniversary were not enough iso and wanting new pve.  We got 2 new pve, 1 that will almost certainly stay in the rotation and double iso.  Check and check.  My favorite thing I marked on the survey was alliance events.   Check there.  Hard to say I didn't get what I asked for given what I told them

    Very lackluster and I went in with low expectations to begin with.

    This Anniversary felt like it was close, but not quite there. Like they made the cake and forgot to put icing on it.

    We got fan favorite events, fan favorite tokens, Crash and PVP for Limited characters, the generous Anniversary vault, double ISO, two costumes (still stupid that they charged for the Medusa costume, but Devil Dino getting a costume in an HP bundle feels very appropriate), an HP sale, and we did get a fairly commonly requested character AND a new and generally well-received event, and we got multiple Class Of PVP events to celebrate not only this year, but previous years as well.

    But it still felt like something bigger was coming, but then didn't. There wasn't a "must see" component of Anniversary (like Gambit or Kitty's release, or any of the new boss events, or the raid that one year). And the timing of everything makes it feel like fewer characters (the return of the X-Men that year brought Rogue, Gambit, and Nightcrawler, even though I think Gambit was the only one released during Anniversary, it all felt like part of the same big thing, you know?). Next release could be Thursday (after Worthy and Miguel both came after a week delay, I think a release this week is highly likely), and a 2099 character or a Spider-Verse character that's related to stuff released during Anniversary, but I highly doubt it'll feel like an "encore" to celebrate the event as much as it'll just feel like something that came in the mail late.

    It's like they checked the boxes off the list to make an Anniversary, and then didn't stop to double-check that the sum was greater than the total of the parts (important for a big celebration like this). So yeah, like I said, they made the cake, but left off the icing by accident. Or maybe remembered the icing and forgot the candles. Something crucial that was needed to make it feel "complete."

    Hey Everyone. IceIX has unfortunately been feeling a bit under the weather lately, so he hasn't been in the office to post some of the upcoming news (darn changing of the seasons), but don't worry.

    If we're all getting a pony then can I trade mine in for a couple purple Kitties?

    Thanks to Anniversary I may have enough iso to upgrade my pony to a Unicorn!

    Maybe they decided after all the backlash to implement a feeder as part of the Anniversary, at the last minute. 
    That's what I expect, yeah.
    Kinda hard to bill that as "anniversary" though, wenn they clearly only had two weeks planned.

    I'm down for whatever, but I'm half expecting it to be TA Hulk -> Banner, and everyone being salty about it not being Kitty or somebody lol. 

    Ideally it'll be Rogue -> Gambit, since they had a polaroid on the anniversary background art, or maybe selfishly for me Hulkubster or Riri-> Rescue

    Well, I appreciate that. I don’t even care if it was previously planned or done due to poor response. In fact if it was done due to poor satisfaction, good for the team for responding with an improvement. 

    Appreciate the update. Here’s hoping the upcoming anniversary item(s) is something good.
    Hear, hear!

    I would like all of those. My 11 cover Banner (3 saved) would love to be finished. 

    And Gambit at 1 cover well, a feeder would be a start.
