    Actually it's a semi heroic event and there is only a free slot like WTS.
    I think it's ok considering the great rewards.

    Yeah, I was under the impression that we had to use one of the Jane Fosthors for the Gorr battle, but not another Thor in the 1st slot. Not undoable, but not ideal either.

    Bring back the regular gauntlet for boss weekends.
    Over 3 days, you unlock the 3 stages, getting harder with every stage and when you finish all 3, you unlock a 4th stage with challenge node difficulty, giving out 500 5* shards for your favored 5* char

    that would be awesome

    Edit: also, no timers, you just have to finish the whole thing before event end

    Or even better curate it so that both the enemy and player teams are locked in.  Sort of like the Behemoth node on the DDQ but with different set ups for each node.  That would allow the devs to show off some of the more interesting but unused synergies on both sides of the battle.

    Team is investigating further and working on a fix and we will have some updates soon.  Sorry for the inconvenience!

    What is the consensus on the event tokens, wait or open?

    My own opinion is to wait.  There is a 5* in the current vault and I believe (but could be wrong) that the "saved" tokens open from the previous vault and thus there is no chance to get the 5*.  Again, JMHO so could be wrong.

    I got a feeling that September's big rollout is gonna be an absolute trainwreck.

    That’s a fine idea, I like it, makes things interesting 
    You just have to do it with certain affiliations, since when you do it with a certain char and there’s no borrow option like in the yellow nodes, people could get locked out

    and of course it should be progress only, not like that first support circuits back in the days with the half-baked leaderboard thingy

    Not having any problem with the event.  What's broken/getting fixed, the fixed teams or the post-event token?

    The wave node with shadow enemies is destroying my best teams. They're ripping off over 10K in damage per turn.

    Boss events used to be a fun way to stave off burnout. Now they're frustrating and run at the same time as PVE events, leading to increased burnout, not less.

    That and the insane release schedule for new characters is making it harder and harder to keep up.

    This game is a chore now.

    I just got 4 extra tokens for the recurring nightmare vault out of nowhere, opened them, but the covers did not appear in my queue. Anybody else had something similar strange happen?
    edit: the covers I got from the vault are still crossed out it seems, so something definitely happend

    Got em as well, haven't opened em yet.  Is this another sorry for our continued screw ups compensation or another bug all in itself?  

    Edit: just pulled the four tokens without issue.
