While you're here, any official word on why you didn't restart EOTS? Also that's a lot of boosted 5s.
@Bowgentle said: While you're here, any official word on why you didn't restart EOTS?
We'd rather have it run, gather data on how players play across all SCLs, then make up for rewards after the fact. The majority of the issues affect SCL 10 only. Which, while not great! also means we're still getting pretty standard info out of the rest of the player base as to how they're hitting progression, placement over days, etc etc.
But what use is the data when it's 7 hits instead of 5? The next run will be 3/2 - I hope!? - so data gathered from this one will be mostly useless. But thank you for the answer!
So is extra amounts of boosted 5* the new thing here to stay?
I wonder if the increased # of boosted 5* is related to Women’s History Month
I guess Star-Lord is a Ladies man? Iceman not so much.

This, the extras are Women's History boosts.
Well, here's hoping that the Kang boss event won't be buggy like EotS.

Hard to screw that up, unless they force us to use Kang on the wave side nodes.
...
Which probably has a good chance of being the case.
I do not see the boss listed for next week. I thought it was pushed back. Was it pulled?

Kang is on calendar for 6th which is a Monday start. Boo if true.
@IceIX
Thanks for posting March!
For Puzzle Ops, there's a question mark next to Quinjet. Would you consider doing a poll on the forum of 4-5 Supports, and we vote on it?
I really preferred the idea of this boss hitting over the weekend (implied but never confirmed). Any chance it's not too late to reconsider?
Wait, EoS ends on the 3rd? And 5 day WW at the end of the month?
@ShionSinX said: Wait, EoS ends on the 3rd? And 5 day WW at the end of the month?
I believe that’s wrong on the calendar as in game it says it still has 4+ days left of it to go so it should actually end when the boss starts.

Completely missed that. My eyes have been trained to check Thursdays. Thanks!
Puzzle Ops is shifted too. And for no good reason we now have 3 days off from PVE at the start of the week. With no PVP season running. I don't get their scheduling. I really don't.
Some of the boosted 5s seem unrelated to Women’s History Month. Perhaps the devs are testing how multiple boosted 5 affect mmr and pvp in general?

I'm pretty sure Broken Circle entirely dropped the ball recently and are saving face by saying that it's giving them good data.
Presumably, the ones that appear unrelated to women's history month are part of the normal boosted 5* rotation.
