"Time Is An Illusion"  Now I don't know a lot about things - honestly I'm feeling this might be Arcade. I think this might be the one time I've guessed it right! I'm feeling good about this one folks.

MrPlow

I don't get why the next two PVP's have to overlap.  Are we going to have 24 more hours during the Devil Dinosaur PVP?  Otherwise it's not enough health packs to do both.

MackDan1

Boss event on a Monday?

It would be a cool feature if they gave out health packs everyday during anniversary so you could potentially play more. 

Bowgentle

Please tell me that one of the overlapping PVPs does NOT count towards season score.

SandKing

A Behemoth Burrito today where the characters have actual synergy!

What is this?

I am sorry, I can't do that. Though normally there are 2 off season events Class of 22 had to be in season and overlap with Dino pvp. These overlapping events are getting pretty irritating.

No kidding.
It was so confusing recognizing who was hopping in which event this morning.

samael64

Not sure if it was intentional, however Class of 2022 is giving Spider-Man 2099 shards in placement rewards instead of Devil Dinosaur shards as stated in the list above.

NemoAbernnigan

Do we have a post with Arcade's abilities that I'm not finding, or is the reveal being left til the Boss Event starts to heighten the drama?

BradUF

Any know if the murderworld event is going to be like the old civil war event where you have to pick one, or are we playing both?

Yep! it's basically a reskinned version of Civil world. the only "difference" is that demastered is a slightly easier event than remastered, for lesser alliances.

if you're in a good alliance you'll complete both. if you're in a challenged alliance, take a pick.

axmoss

Any chance you can update this @S0kun?

There ya go!

DAZ0273

Buff List: 5* - Phoenix, Old Man Logan, Deadpool, Kingpin
               4* - Gamora, Magik, Wolfsbane, Misty Knight, Gwenpool
               3* - Black Panther, Emma Frost, Cyclops, Blade, Iron Fist
               2* - Moonstone, Magneto

Bowgentle

Yeah... Except we were supposed to get 5* Strange PVP instead of the 3* one.
And combined arms, while in game it's Emma next.

So... Yeah. Maybe an update would be good.

doesn't give essential characters, or PVE. if they have this pretty calendar, why not release the whole essentials list?

Is there a reason why some numbers are highlighted in the game? Just noticed it today but 9 and 2 seem to be highlighted in rankings, in damage numbers.

I knew it was a Halloween/anniversary thing! Thread from 3 years ago.

New 4-Star: Clue: More Than Human

Death's Head ?!

It will be funny having it/him as a limited character as part of the 9th Anniversay events...
