Hey all! Wanted to provide some information on our upcoming Holiday schedule! Below is a listing of holiday related activities, along with a couple feature announcements related to R217! We'll also be having some other "normal" events running during these times, so if you see a gap in Versus events or such, don't worry. It's just that the particular event during that time isn't themed. As per usual we'll also being having some pop up sales of costumes, characters, and the like, but you'll just have to encounter those as they come!
Also keep an eye out for the return of the friendly neighborhood Spider-Ham (Limited Character) later in the holiday season!

    What about the new feeders that are already in the game? Anymore?

    I can only imagine what the Evergreen PvP will be like with iHulk's passive proc'ing every turn guaranteed.
    Excited to see time limited quests tomorrow and milestone quests on Thursday. I don't suppose we'll get any more info on these before then. LOL

    P.S. Everyone's first time based quest is to get Red Guardian/Scorpion to L280, 300 etc to double dip on the feeder rewards when they go official ;)

    interested to see the Quests implemented tomorrow - that's going to be very interesting.

    Really looking forward to an update regarding the bugs/leaks regarding the couple of "feeders". I'm hoping to see more, but right now, I just want confirmation.

    Christmas looks good with the stuff above!

    Hey look, no feeders. Who would have thought ?! I won't hold my breath for them to surprise us with them. Let's face it, they arent doing feeders. Time to give up on that request.

    Dev are being so generous this holiday season, 1 free token seems a little much, should dial that back and have some more high priced limited time offers.

    I'm no fan of the devs, especially with their piss-poor communication, springing surprises upon us at the drop of a hat. At the same time, being sarcastic isn't going to help anyone at all. Try to be that bit grateful for what we do have and will be getting.

    There's a proverb, "Don't judge a book by its cover." Evergreen PvP looks like a peaceful and tranquil pvp to be enjoyed, but deep down inside, it's going to be a bigger bloodshed this year. Looking at the current meta in 4* land (BRB/R4G and Polaris), how many turns will it take for two Polaris to fill the board up with special tiles? 2 or 3 turns?

    With okoye and apacolypse being locked out of this event hulk won't be able to boost his green door damage. Bring brb and fire blue and pretty soon hulk will fill the board with protects and be doing -1 -1 -1 dmg every turn.

    The feeders are already live (that's how we know about them), so there will be no double dipping.

    How can they leave feeders out of announcement?  Just mind-boggling

    Hmmm Golden Sample a quick search says it’s a sample received from supplier before production. Represents a perfectly made product.

    5* Master Mold?  I was also thinking maybe Adam Warlock

    it would make sense for master mold.  All the airborne mechanics.   He might land and cause the whole enemy team to go airborne.

    ....so no ones taking a stab at the "Catch more flies with..." clue?

    I won't.. but that's because A )  My knowledge of Marvel lore pales in comparison to a lot of y'alls... and...
    B )  I like watching all the theories and hypothesis fly around.  :)

    it's honey.  So it has to be WInnie the Pooh.   The game will now be called Disney Puzzle Quest

    Figures we'd get a feeder teaser, start clamoring for info, and then get a massive holiday info dump that contains exactly zero feeder information.

    As for character clues...

    Golden Sample, that should be a 5-star release. Sample says a science/lab character, either a science genius character, or a character created by science. The gold in the clue really makes you think of the MCU teases towards Adam Warlock. Otherwise I can't think of a specific "golden" thing in Marvel that makes sense. Always possibly a more subtle reference. For example, Iron Man (MCU) added gold to his suit to stop freezing in the first film. That's enough of a connection that this could be an Iron Man clue.

    Catch more flies with... full quote is "honey than vinegar." Honey doesn't get far. Swarm is a character made of bees. Could be a bear character? Yellowjacket seems obvious, but it's a stretch (and it would mean Hank Pym is likely a 4, boo). So if it's not honey, it has to do with catching flies. Which could mean Toad. Or Leap-Frog. Or.... THROG. Which could be Thor or Puddlegulp, since there were two Throgs.

    Thanks for the update, sounds fun!

    Today's Crash of the Titan says Iceman but shows Maria Hill in game in the Heroes for Hire store? I am assuming Maria will get skipped instead?

    I am assuming it’s Iceman vs Maria Hill ?

    Good call on Adam Warlock, I think. He’s an artificial being so « golden sample » makes sense.
