    Can you find out what's going on with Champion 2.0? Thanks!

    My dear friend, I am not the community manager and therefore I can be of no use.
    Also I don't understand any of this champion stuff, I can't even make fun of it.
    It's a bit like trying to explain Australia to a dog.
    No point.

    Weakling?! Doctor Bong might be a lot of things, but not a weakling...

    He might be a bit of a clown though:

    OK, he's just silly:

    Is there going to be a Blog post from the developers on "WHY, OH GOD, WHY?" Dr. Bong?

    Was it just because there was a big bowl of questionable organic weeds laced with something that was left in the office?

    I am here for this tomfoolery. If only he were a 5*…oh wait, I suppose he can be someday now!

    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Or something. 😂

    Oh c'mon - Doctor Bong is bell-tastic. His origin is even better in so much as he doesn't really have one - he got his hand chopped off so of course that meant he became the master of sonic powers! Who needs reasons for these things? Although I guess Klaw might be a bit sad.

    Klaw would have been more like someone I was expecting. And how we get Bong before Klaw is also somewhat baffling.

    So this isn't posted anywhere as far as I know, but a preview of 3 star Peggy Carter is in the "Strange Days" PVP that is coming up -- "Iron Carter" with an armor suit, shield, and sword. Not a bad design....

    So, how does the new Discord fit into this grapevine thing?

    In any case: Devs confirmed there today that next week we’ll have a PvE event (HoD with 5Peggy shards), normal Boss event, and Heroic Boss event (Quandary repeat) all running at the same time.

    Also, the boss event rewards will be identical to the previous run.

    @YumeWarlock @IceIX @MPQBlaine have you given any thought to having next week’s repeat boss event provide Miles5 covers instead of Vulture? Then you’ll be on a better rotation where each boss event will give covers of the most recently released 5 (…unless you like that you’re one character behind, so more non-vets have to pull tokens, since most non-vets probably don’t gets retro rewards to roster immediately?).

    But some alliances did not complete the last run due to frustration, the extra time needed or difficulty, so those would like another chance to get Vulture covers. I know over half of my alliance did not make full progression and overall we did not finish round 8 so some got no Vulture covers at all.

    I would prefer vulture rewards

    Yeah, I hate it when the rewards are things I want and I'm forced to waste valuable forum posting time playing the game.

    I'd prefer Miles too. I get that some folks got frustrated and quit trying the last event but I'm generally not pro rewarding quitting when things get tough/annoying.

    Ha! That's wonderfully harsh! However, those that quit won't get 4 covers, they'll just get 2. If they quit again, they won't get any. It's more like "not penalising those that just couldn't do it" - they get a 2nd try. Everyone deserves a second chance right? 🙂

    Some of my alliance didn't finish personal progression - they were a bit lost and didn't have the roster strength to cope with later levels. We got the alliance reward though. I'm happy for them to try again though.
