    If nothing else, whoever is coming up with the contents/names for these new bundles is making an effort to at least make sense (or pun). They could just as easily be "Random two characters, slap a price on it".

    Another day, another bundle. Sword & Sorcery Nightcrawler, Scarlet Witch and some stuff for £13.99. Enough shards for extra covers of both, 1000 Hp, etc

    They are really chucking this at us now. Makes me a bit worried...
    Actually I think this is a good thing, and quite frankly finally makes some sense. Options are always welcome, the more the better.
    Instead of only catering to those who can afford £75 bundles they should do a much wider range. Everyone's roster and thus their need is different, and so are their wallets.

    If you were to go into a shop you'd be happier to see a wide variety of chocolates and sweets in a range of prices rather then a single "luxury" item, take-it-or-leave-it, in a flavour you dont even like. People are far more likely to pick up small indulgences more often. It is of course on you to resist the temptation and have a care for your wallet, if that is what is right for you. But the options should be there.....
    It would be even better the return of cancelled events or at least give us the option to exchange useless red iso into normal iso.

    I hope everyone at D3 is healthy. Any chance of an update while many of us are stuck at home?

    Thanks for the update.  Any chance we could get a few more for crash of the titans since this update will be out of date in 9 hours when Thing’s crash starts.  I use these updates to prioritize leveling my 4* characters

    The release schedule for 5's have been the same since Prof X (although not for Havok):

    Week 1:  Normal PVE with an HP store
    Week 2:  Alliance event with CP store

    Hopefully they are working out the alliance event rewards or something, and that's why Havok didn't get one.  But I'm not giving up on them since one of the recent release notes said they had tweaked the Xmen V Apocalypse event.

    Looks like Magik is after Thing. Best I can do right now. 😋

    Akshully, the Crash does (more or less) go in alphabetical order based on the parenthetical name or designation or whatever you want to call it. So I'd look at leveling anyone with Classic in parentheses right now. 

    I say alphabetically more or less, because as you can see, Thing and Magik are out of order. There are several others that are out of order as well, just can't remember them off the top of my head. 

    So once we're out of the run of Classics, expect Professor X (Charles Xavier) (EDIT: NOPE. Ch- comes before Cl-; physician, heal thyself 🤦‍♂️), Carnage (Cletus Cassidy), Quake (Daisy Johnson), Iron Fist (Danny Rand), and so on.

    IIRC, the order was alphabetically by parenthetical designation, then reverse alphabetical by main name.

    Hadn't heard that second caveat, but still don't think that's the case, or there's mistakes. 

    So far for those with the Classic tag, we've had Cyclops, Rogue, Thing, and Magik is next. We've yet to have Nightcrawler, Cloak & Dagger, Bishop, Invisible Woman, Dazzler, and Northstar.

    Again, that's why I say for the most part it's alphabetical, or at least used to be. Who knows, maybe it's another stealth change being made we're not aware of? 🤷‍♂️

    That was definitely the rule in the past. I mean, we can look at Rogue/Thing/Magik and see that it's not the case anymore, but back when it started that was the pattern, alphabetical by secondary title, reverse alphabetical by name after that. Doesn't apply often (Sam/Peggy as Captain America, and the handful of Classic characters, All New X-Men, that covered most of the cases).

    No idea when it changed or why. Not that it matters TOO much. It's nice to know the pattern so you can plan, but generally speaking, if all the Classic characters are run back to back, shuffling the order a little isn't going to make much of a difference in the long run (they'll only be a few weeks off, but still run at the same time of year you'd expect them).

    It looks like my recollection was incorrect.  I found the announcement when they started the current order of the Crash of the Titans, and it shows that the second sorting criteria was not reverse alphabetical.

    May have been mentioned before... but have Alliance events been abandoned??

    i was under the impression they were 4 to 5 weeks apart... last one was the 6th February nothing to the end of March... 

    once again the game has hit boredom levels same rotation of events.

    PS happy 5th playing anniversary to me!!

    I would also like to know what’s happening re boss events, as PeeOne said boredom is rearing it’s head, and I’m in self isolation!

    Indeed...it would be ironic in the current environment to not run alliance events.....
