    I'm in the same boat, joined the game after Alliance had finished it and got nothing.
    Doing great with personal progression though.
    Already #4 on team.
    Using Beta Ray(456), Polaris(370) & Morbius(302).

    Same issue here, joined a few hours in and missed out on all alliance rewards. Got all the personal rewards by now though. A blue Kang would have been nice.

    Theres a lot of teams to deal with him.
    Gargantos can 1-shot him.
    I used Chasm/Gargantos/Crystal/Samruai Daken teams to reduce his max health and kill him in a single match.
    Collosus-Morbius and a third works very well.
    I even used my old team a little bit with W4lverine, Black Widow, and Cyclops.

    I really like this boss event, so I don't mind doing it again. An extra Kang cover is nice.

    Guys - think when suggesting teams you might wanna read the post again. They asked for teams for 3-4* transitioners so BRB winfinites and 5* teams probably not ideal.

    And if we have to Apoc again so be it, not sure why it has to wait until Monday though.

    Maybe the server would explode if they run two boss events at the same time.
    It's a possibility, with how things have worked since BCS took over.

    I guess although with being able to get the top amount of boss points available so early I guess even low level players are probably pretty much done already with this. Might as well just kill it. Oh well. Not the biggest deal I guess. I never thought I would say this but I sort of wish there was something else to play for the next two days...

    I wonder if they want to see if Alliance rewards still get pushed when the event closes. That’s maybe why they told people to play like normal, and why they are waiting until Monday?

    They can't run two of the same event at the same time. So either they let the event resolve or they close it early.

    Why can't they, though?
    I mean, there's always multiple PVPs and PVEs running at the same time.

    I find it a bit worrying that they don't know if this will happen or not if that is the case. I mean if the code is that unpredictable who knows what it will do next?!?!? I guess if the next 5* is a Terminator we will get a clue...

    They have shared on Discord that the QA environment is not the same as Live and this is causing problems. Both the Magneto rework and the Alliance event looked good in the QA environment and had bugs when pushed to Live. Must be super frustrating, and also why they don’t know for sure what will happen…

    "don't know for sure what will happen" - they have built Skynet haven't they? Do we have any players called Sarah Connor here?!?!?!

    I am what you might call an idiot when it comes to things like computing so please forgive me if the following assumption is wrong but...

    What use is a QA environment for testing that doesn't replicate a live event? Is that not a bit like bringing a Formula 1 car to the Grand Prix coz it looked great in a Tik Tok video only to find out it has no wheels?

    Yeah if the QA environment isn't reliable you might as well test things in prod right away.
    I mean, hopefully the sequence is test environment - QA environment - production environment.

    It happened when Shulk was released. They borked an event and instead of restarting it they let it play out then ran it again. They said they couldn't run two of the same event at the same time. I'll go looking through the forums and find the post.

    edit**
    It was The Hunt, but I can't find the post saying they can't run two at the same time.

    Yea I’m in the same boat as to why wait till Monday. What I proposed to my alliance mates was that if part of their solution was to just run the event a second time why not just take down the original event within minutes of it originally starting and just restart it either later the first date or have it start on time the next day with the corrections to it rather than wasting everyone’s time having to do it twice? Honestly I don’t mind having to do it again since it’ll allow me to double dip on rewards for it but I understand not everyone has the same time flexibility that I have.

    I appreciate some things BC has done for the game since they stepped in. However everything seems to be a bloody mess, one after another whether it's characters or events. How can they screw up so much so often. In 40 years of gaming, I'm not sure I've seen a game become such a hot pile as MPQ is currently.

    It’s possible that if they kill the event it wouldn’t run the code that writes out the player results log. If they haven’t got that then they wouldn’t be able to identify the players that need to receive retroactive rewards.

    I see that the vault is just now called "Boss Vault" as it was for Kang rather than event based names. Not a big deal until something happens to it getting broken ( ha ha nothing to see here with things getting broken) and the code can't sort out which version goes with which event I guess! 😀😬

    Actually, all Alliance events are meant to give tokens to just one Boss vault as of the last event. Not a bug, fully intended according to BCS.
