    3 bad boost weeks in a row for me. I was looking forward to this week’s- unfortunately we got this instead of what was announced.

    I wish it was Magik shards for HoD to be honest.

    Yea i just realized that Magik appears to be getting skipped here because of the High Evolutionary. I would certainly love to be getting the shards for her as the progression ones will leave her 2 powers away from being champed for me but guess I’ll have to wait till she’s featured again next month to get there.

    I wonder what this weeks boost list is going to be? That super, super sweet looking one with Apoc & BRB or something else?

    No PVE preview?
    Come on, not a hiccup again.
    No planned downtime on the calendar.

    Sigh.
    And from that great boost list, only Shang remains.
    Guardians for the second week.

    So, boost list wrong, required characters too great :|

    5/11 - 5/15 Unstable Iso-8
    Required Characters: Ronan, Colleen Wing, Magneto (Classic), Human Torch (Johnny Storm)
    Placement Rewards: Kang (The Conqueror), Mister Fantastic, Thanos (Modern), Magneto (Marvel NOW)
    Progression Rewards: Jeffrey (Symbiote), Colleen Wing, Magneto (Classic), Human Torch (Johnny Storm)

    if screenshot is right, it means that Jeff is required and not Ronan? or do we have a required not boosted 5* ?

    Yup - that dream boost list has been denied us. :( I can't see any sign of Ronan so if people were excited for his shards then nope. I almost wish we had Wong boosted for another week because he has been so much fun although of course Shang Chi is ridiculous anyway so it is hardly going to be a chore.

    Jeff makes sense though, since he's the placement reward in TAT.

    The required 5 for PvE has been off from what was posted as it didn’t include the High Evolutionary on there. It said we would be getting Magik shards during the time when it was High Evo’s turn making her the required 5 for his first go round.

    It seemed as if they intended that Ronan should have been the required 5 for it but it was mislabeled and judging by what it says we should still be getting Ronan shards after The Hunt, but that remains to be seen. We’ll have to wait for the new update on this thread to see if that’s accurate or not.

    Relatively minor errors in reporting what’s to come, and I’d much rather have this kind of error than the errors in scheduling we’ve had recently.

    The Boost list mistake is also pretty easy to explain away. NEXT weeks will be the interesting one - will it be completely new or have these boost lists been pushed a few weeks along? I don't think we need 3 weeks of boosted Guardians thanks...

    Monkey paw.
    We asked why Guardians weren't boosted - they changed it to 3 weeks of boosted Guardians.

    Hound was right - it is the players fault.

    I understand these errors are "minor", but from a roster planning perspective this has been frustrating to say the least. I'm trying to catch up after a really long break, so I'm trying to focus my iso and shards on characters coming up as essential that I either don't have, or are in bad need of covers to be viable on an essential node.

    Updated "What's New" thread telling one thing, and game showing something totally different is, sadly, Not New.

    Waiting with baited breath each time new pve rewards are announced. Need big wheel, sinister, rescue, sersi and gambit to be featured classics to be able to champ from shard rewards. Maybe next month 🤞
