    Yes, just in case you had forgotten the bug with the wave nodes.

    It is the 3* Captain Marvel twins on Big Enchilada today?!?!?

    I guess one of them is a Skrull.

    While they're bringing back Iso-8 Brotherhood, would it be too much to ask to spread out the nodes in the event layout so they're not crammed so tightly together?

    I can't tell you how many times I've mistakenly entered the wrong node & had to back out due to how crammed the nodes are in the current Strange Sights PVE. :|

    I'm the opposite. I hate when the nodes are all spread out and I have to find them, such as the second sub of The Hunt

    There should be a happy medium between those two. Like if they moved the line of Strange Sight essential nodes up a smidge.

    I think Luck be a Lady in Meet R&G is a great example. Nice and linear and rarely press a different node by accident because they are well spaced.

    Sub 2 of The Hunt is all over the map... literally! It's an extreme case of nodes spread out too far.

    These layouts also cause the map to reset where it moves to a centered position after completing a far-right node, for example. It's a nuisance that creates an extra step to move the map over in order to replay the node. This behavior also occurs in Deadpool Vs. MPQ.

    Yup, it's the 3E node that is placed too close to the 3H wave node. There is all of this unused space above that essential node and the same layout is replicated on each day of the event. So it's not like I'm not aware of it, yet it happens repeatedly on different days. :/

    Channeling our dear Frank Costanza, "Serenity now!" :lol:

    The Hulk, if they decide to also bring back this 7-day PVE, is another example of how not to do it. Most of the nodes are aligned along a diagonal line, to simulate the chase within the story. The other nodes, however, instead of utilizing the extra space on the map, are crammed right next to the other nodes.

    Serenity now!

    Maybe Art Vandelay can design them? 😉

    Ha, yes I remember. Let's hope its looked at if Hulk makes a reappearance.

    Do we think Jeff will sneak in another last appearance before he buggers off? I only need 64 shards to finish him.

    I like how the preview ends like there will be a follow-up for the rest of July.
    Then there isn't.

    Maybe we will get a Fan Favourite boost list and they want it to be a surprise?

    Of course it could also be a surprise to them too...

    Has no one asked if they’re really releasing new 3/5 star characters a week apart?

  • Bowgentle

    Someone did.
    No answer.

    Hi @MPQBlaine - can you confirm the correct release date(s) for the 3/5 star this month? Will it be a 3* one week and 5* the other?

    Looks like that is a visual error on 8/3. There will not be back-to-back 3/5* releases. Players can instead expect a brand-new support to launch on that date!

    So looks like Thick as Thieves overlaps with the boss event. Not awful but avoidable, surely?

    MPQBlaine: Thanks for clearing that up.
