    It's kind of funny, or something, how many comments are on this thread which are fairly unrelated to the actual events vs just the general state of the game, releases etc.

    In any case, I hope we get an update soon as the last events listed start in 2 days.  And the boost list doesn't extend past tomorrow.

    I'm sure they are waiting to post info about the new character, hopefully after that.

    When there is no news to talk about, I guess you make your own news.

    These lines won't read between themselves, y'all. Somebody has to interpret the oracle...

    “You knew the news of gnus was new!”
    “No, I knew of no new gnu news.”

    With Brigby now gone I am sure they are spending more time looking for his replacement than worrying about the forums. I am guessing we will get an update tomorrow with the new character and this will be updated for 2 weeks.  This way the Dev’s can ignore us till the next 5* can come out.

    The pedant in me wants to point out that the g in gnu is silent, regardless of what certain songs tell you. 
    Luckily I kept that in. Carry on.

    So, just to clarify, we are expecting Carbage to rotate out on the 23rd?

    I know the was a separate post on this, but it seems the rotation of 5* is a large part of this post and I'm a weirdo chasing those covers.

    Despite the fact that the devs have said that they don't like hoarding, the current lack of communication and the seemingly quicker 4/5/4/5 release schedule have forced us to do exactly that...  Hoard....

    Will he rotate?  I don't believe we'll know that until it happens, unfortunately.   As if this game needed anything else to be less enthusiastic about.

    I'm also chasing Carbage, I like him actually. Mine is 4/2/4 with half a cover worth of shards, so I'd hope to get him at least a bit closer to 13 before he falls into the abyss

    Yes, I've learned to dislike him as an opponent. Usually he's a quick skip for me, if nothing else because of his ridiculous health pool...

    Run away and hide?   This is what we get when we get 1/2 a 5 in progression, I guess.

    Sad days, if so.......

    I hear that MPQ retirement home calling my name....
    You and me both. Make no mistake, I play this game *WAY* too much, and have been for the last 2-3 years I've been really competitive (first in PvE, then PvP). But I was playing that hard because I was trying to catch up, and I was getting caught up, slowly but surely. And that was enough to keep driving me forward. 

    For all my playing, it's been barely enough to stay current with 5*s while making some headway on getting all my classic 5*s champed. I've been able to do that largely by pulling LTs and saving CP for new or special release stores. Most of my 5*s leave Latest at 460 or less, so it's not like they're getting pumped up to crazy levels or anything, but it was good enough for me. 

    After almost 4 years of playing and nearly 2.5 after starting the 5* transition, I still don't have Hawkeye, Iron Man, Phoenix, Black Widow, FA Cap, or Doc Ock finished. Some are close, the last two really still aren't. 

    If we're really going 4/5/4/5, there's no way that method will keep up. Mayyyyybe if you spent every last resource in Latest you could make it work, but even then RNG would need to be favorable. But then you'll never have any spare CP to use on new/special release stores. So if you don't get a character finished during the  brief window they're in Latest, you'll have to wait for a feeder announcement or to come around again for placement/progression shards, or target them in the meantime to try to finish them off. Any which way you slice it, not exactly great options. 

    Who knows, maybe this is for the best in the end run. I figured I'd be here until they shut the servers off because I'm too stubborn to quit (and maybe a little too addicted), but if they alter the conditions of the game such that it becomes an impossible burden to keep up without forking over a ton of cash, then they're effectively cutting me off and making the decision for me which I was too weak to make myself. 
    I'm going to get there pretty quickly with the nerf in HP they've perpetrated. INCREASING dilution on top of that? Um, no.

    D3, I take cash or Venmo. No personal checks, please. 
    I was all set to send you a check for 10 million iso, too.  Oh well!

    Anyone notice the classic hero for hire (God emperor doom) is set at 500cp instead of the traditional 250cp

    It would be nice to get an update to the Sneak Peek before the weekend.
