7 day PvE events

Mikemuscles

Now I know most of the people here won’t agree with me and that’s fine. But I think since it’s been 3 years since any of them have been run I think our lovely Dev’s should bring back then at least once a month or once every 2….

Howzabout Heroic 7 Day Events?

The Hulk could be restricted to only Hulks.

Enemy of the State could be restricted to only Wolverine, Elektra and Ninjas.

The one with the Dark Avengers could of course be Dark Avengers!

I mean if you are going, you might as well go big!

I don't think we would get double shards though.

I'm a fan.

It has been suspected that the devs have not gone for this since the introduction of shards because a 7-day event should generate a full 5* cover.  Now that we've seen 5* covers in rewards (twice) and even a heroic event again, I hope 7-day events are back on the table.

darkman84

I dunno, they would have to give twice the amount of rewards the normal event has, and maybe for four different characters (2x 4* and 2 x 5*) but then whats the point?
Instead a heroic event as suggested by DAZ could be interesting but going independently to normal PVE events.

MoosePrime

If they're not going to bring back 7 day events, they could split them into a 3 day and a 4 day and run them back to back.

Meander

I'm not against.  Getting that 66 cp drop was always satisfying,  aside from the full 5* cover point above.

I don't mind the 7 days PVE and I wouldn't say no to 500 shards of a good 5*!

Do it!
They can be a slog to grind through, but no more than any two other PVE event in a week.
Give out two chars' worth of covers/shards and you still don't interrupt the current rewards cadence.
Have the three essential nodes have dual essentials (you can bring either of the featured 2E/3E/4E/5Es all event long).

I’d be fine with 7 day events if they had some that were good. Hulk and Sentry are both painfully monotonous 

LFChikarason

The last time it was run was 12/26/19, the Sentry one. I really liked the Enemy of the State one

AlexR

I never minded Enemy of the State or the Sentry one.

But please can we leave the Hulk PvE out of this? The Hulk is just Dark Avengers nodes for 7 days straight. Really don't want that one back tbh.

skittledaddy

I suppose bringing back 7-Day events also gives the devs new chances to conjure up some nasty CN nodes in CL10. That could be very bad for us with the likes of Apoc, Wanda, and Colossus.

Tiger_Wong

Once a quarter sounds good to me. 

Timemachinego

Splitting into part 1 / part 2 is all that is really needed, though I've long said they could just build different events mixing and matching the retired templates... that's worth at least a couple new events with minimal work, you're only waiting on art and clearance really.

HoundofShadow

With the new dev team, I won't be surprised if they bring back 7-day pve. They've already brought back the much hated Heroic event. Surely, players don't hate 7-day pve as much as Heroics.

Godzillafan67

It would also be interesting to see how all of our new toys fare in those classic 7-day events.

dianetics

The only way I would want a 7 day back is if it ran concurrent with other PvE events. Reduce the win and point requirement and have running at the beginning/end of a boss event to give us something to do during downtime. 

Maybe 3 wins at cl9 and below and 2 at 10.
Open all the subs day by day but keep them open throughout and have a max point accumulation.

The Viceroy Returns

IMO the reward structure would have to be comparable/proportionate to it's duration, which as others have said would mean a full 5-Star cover in shards.  Perhaps the new Devs' won't consider that a non-starter in bringing them back.

They should try at least one of them in a non-heroic form first (probably Enemy of the State since it was the newest one) with an updated reward structure and go from there.  It's be so long since any have been run that an metrics/analysis that could be done on the player base's interaction with it needs a fresh baseline.

ThaRoadWarrior

They could do 250 for a classic and 250 for a new release and avoid the “skipped 5” problem we’ve had for so long while also avoiding giving a full cover out.
