    The calendar shows a new 3/5 star release two weeks in a row. Is this intended?

    Is ISO-8 Brotherhood a new PVE event?

    No. It's one of the four 7-day PVE events, along with The Hulk, Prodigal Sun, and Enemy of the State.

    Let's hope they made sure CL 10 works, this time.

    I don't even remember this one though I must have played it. I am assuming this is Mutate heavy as the bad guys.

  • Bowgentle
    Bowgentle Posts: 7,926 Chairperson of the Boards

    Yeah it has a lot of those Control and other guys.

    This isn’t the one where the node from the first page disappears on day 2 is it ?

    I can’t remember much about this 7 day event unfortunately

    Happily they seem to be running them in my favourite order: EotS, Iso-8, Prodigal Sun, The Hulk. Unless Hulk gives us a 5*Banner cover in that node reward to keep up with cover inflation...

    I can't seem to find much reference to it - seems it was ran back in May 2016 when we still had PvE scaling, lol! If that was the last time then I probably have played but I would have been a 2* player edging into 3* land - so this might as well be a brand new event I guess.

    Somebody will have a spreadsheet on all of this - when it was last played, points values, etc etc.

    I think it was mostly non-tile-movers for 7 days with the odd villain thrown in for good measure. A bit like a cross between "Unstable Iso-8" and the "Luck be a Lady" section from "Meet R&G". But I could be remembering incorrectly.

  • Bowgentle

    The CNs could be interesting.
    That is, if they remembered that there is CL10 now.

    I have seen reference to "Moonstone & Bullseye" (I think it was those two) so expect Dark Avengers.

    As I recall, the story involves Magneto working undercover for Fury to destroy the labs producing ISO 8 mutants. Psylocke is in there somewhere as well.

    Don't imagine there was a 5* node either previously.

    Another Apocalypse as boss again? Will we get to play this twice too?

    Just want to point out there are other boss events we haven't played recently... like ultron, galactus, civil war, sinister six... just to name a few off the top of my head. I'm sure there're others I'm forgetting as well.

    I thought it was Bullseye, but then thought it was just a load of purple and started to doubt myself. Moonstone seems probable - again, why I think it reminded me of Unstable Iso-8. It was definitely an early Dark Reign inspired storyline.

    That sort of rings a bell.

    I can't imagine Psylocke would have been very useful though. Maybe that is why it takes 7 days to sort out. Hey Devs - get Nick Fury to recruit somebody good for this - we can get this sucka down to 4 days easy!
