New event sub-nodes was kinda a letdown......

This event would of been the perfect excuse to use the 3 newest goons in some of the sub-nodes. Sentinels (helping HE conquer alongside him etc.), Gorr's enemy goons (HE using these creatures as proof that evolution can vastly grow etc.), and A.I.M minions (following in HE's footsteps in creating and manipulating anything, etc.)

    All of the event except the rewards is a big letdown.
    "Guardians" as required is way too broad.
    I did every single node with Starlord Shangvez, didn't have to switch teams even once.
    Extremely boring.

    Completely agree, however, it was a clean event. Nothing broke. Nothing exciting whatsoever about the event, but nothing went wrong. And that's all I can ask for at this point.

    That's... Also a pretty good point.

    This boss and the last Kang boss are just too generic. It's just the regular character with two characters that can be defeated through normal best 3 means.

    I miss finding a strategy and discussing it with others, like Ultron, Galactus, Apocalypse, where you typically needed to use characters you rarely use to make a team.

    For Galactus, I came up with the 3* team of KK, Hulk and Storm. Galactus would damage Hulk, Hulk makes green, Storm uses green to gather AP and KK would keep Hulk healed. You don't see that anymore.

    I used my pick-3 for all boss nodes i do, except apocalypse, Juggs, rocket, and Gamora, breezed past everytime, tried to switch it up on the sub nodes to make it more fun for myself, but literally the same enemies (even down to the partners) for the nodes. Was glad to see crystal, doom, Karnak tho.

    Used Gritty/Polaris all the time.
    Boring, yes, but quick and the weather was good the passing days... 😊

    I mean - you can do that with almost every event... ever. I can't think of a boss battle that you can't brute force this way. Apocalypse might be a little difficult, but unlikely to fail.

    The boss battles generally fall into 2 scenarios in my opinion.

    Somewhat unique and puzzle-based mechanics (Ultron, Galactus, Thanos, Apoc, etc)

    Similar to a standard match, potentially slightly unique battles (Civil War, Gargantos, Battle of The Batilisca, sinister six, etc)

    Generally, both of these types can be brute forced with the right teams (Chang, Ihulk, etc). it's up to the player if they want to puzzle it out.

    BRING BACK HEROIC BATTLES!!

    Yeah I want Simulator PVE back.
    Including the "no mirror" restriction.

    I add my support to the return of Simulator. I loved the changing line ups of the opponents.

    I would also enjoy Heroic Boss Events but the current make up of my Alliance would probably struggle badly. They were not capable of finishing the High Evolutionary Boss.

    Can we try Boss Rush again, maybe slightly tuned? Would look forward to that too.
