  • You're kidding me, I hope it is not that lighting rounds started 8 minutes ago? Not a pleasant surprise, I don't have high level villains icon_e_biggrin.gificon_e_confused.gif

    I seriously hope not... it would be quite disappointing. As for Lightning rounds... I prefer their old schedule so much more... icon_neutral.gif

    I'd generally prefer the old schedule, but with Thanksgiving this week, this actually works a whole lot better for me. (And, it wouldn't surprise me if the devs don't want a full day of lightning rounds to be going on during Thanksgiving, either...since I hope none of them are actually working.)
  • whose bright idea was to make sure i got no work done today??

    Heh, Europe have no Thanksgiving and Wednesday is my longest day at college icon_neutral.gif Ech, I guess there is no way they can satisfy all of us, is there? icon_e_wink.gif

    Anyway, can't wait for the real surprise then! icon_mrgreen.gif

    For the most part, no. Although naturally people will be on call in case servers explode in fiery balls of flame and such.

    I vote free black original widow covers. This IS a democracy, right? RIGHT?! icon_mrgreen.gif
  • So Lightning Rounds will end at 11 AM on Thursday then?
  • did hood lightning rounds get fixed or can i assume i'm gonnag et hit for -100 points at some point.
  • So the surprise is that we don't know what the surprise is?
  • I think The Hood rounds did get fixed. I've been playing all night but, I need covers for my villains. Ah, sleep or play. Such a difficult decision. Lol. icon_eek.gif
  • i doubt it did, i got hit for 12 points at around 100 point markish, so i doubt it got fixed...polkio who was competing high up probably has a better idea.
  • Sigh another Hood lightning round and no chance of getting a yellow cover... But I did get my first Rag cover with the Diabolical, and it was even red!

    They really should randomize the reward tiers. I've got a 0/4/1 hood myself.

    Yeah, I suggested a rotation as opposed to random here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=837&p=8023#p8023 but it didn't look like it got a lot of interest.

    It wouldn't be much of a surprise if you knew what it was. Still working on it. ::Steeples fingers like Mr. Burns:: Soon. Yes. Excellent.
  • I got the Hood cover I needed and didn't get attacked once in the last 8 minutes. icon_e_smile.gif In fact, I was retaliating in the tournament. Seems like an improvement from when I played last time and didn't even break the top 200. icon_lol.gif

    This surprise is starting to get me curious and I'm usually very patient with these types of things. icon_razz.gif

    I think it will be an attack of mutant turkeys that we need to fight off with our most buff heroes!
  • I'm suspecting it's the introduction of the 4* he alluded to last week... and again, it's not The Hulk.

    But I'm going to be surprised if they start ANOTHER tournament on top of the 3 already running, even though Heroic Venom is ending today/tonight. But, hey, he did say surprise...

    Got a Blue Magneto from the Doom tournament. At one point I was actually close to breaking 25, but wound up in Diabolical Token range (yes, I wanted Doom).

    I guess the Lightning tournaments seem so much harder because there's no bracketing.
