    They did similar thing last month. It's nothing unusual now.

    That's probably it, makes sense.

    Didn’t you all “fix” the event schedule so stuff like this won’t happen?

    3 days with no PvE at all? Then a boss event.

    That is roughly six days with no real PvE. Plus the shitstorm broken enemy of the state right before… are you trying to turn players away?

    That is almost 2 weeks of broken PvE. [redacted]

    Factually, they did say things like this could happen again, and they mentioned it in January Q&A, I believe.

    Hell's Belle, My guess is Magik (Phoenix Five)

    Enemy of the State still says it has 4 days 11 hours left for me. The calendar is clearly in error with those first dates.

    I'm pretty sure you're correct, given Magik's sword on the side of the calendar and 4* Magik as a PvP reward. I'm here for it, hope she has some awesome synergy with her big brother!

    This. Whenever additional boosted characters come in, we don't drop the current ones, just add the additionals. Under Demi, we just never used to list out the additional boosts for the moments in time, but they were there.

    Which character is dropping out of the Latest Legends vault next?

    Riri. Then Hit Monkey. Then Wong. Then Kang. Then Phoenix 5 Magik.

    Was this confirmed or are you just hopeful?

    Webbed Wonder looks like it's running for at least 6 days and overlaps with the boss event...is that right?

    An Alliance mate of mine noted that her sword is next to the March calendar. I can’t believe I didn’t notice!

    I'm pretty sure Broken Circle entirely dropped the ball recently and are saving face by saying that it's giving them good data.

    Can....can husbands and boyfriends do that? Does that work? Asking for a friend.

    Judging by my current mood only, as a data point, absolutely not.

    Test it and let us know the results.

    Hela hasn't been the 5E since August 2021. Her time in the sun finally rolls around and we end up getting progression shards for the new 5. See you again in another ~2 years and maybe we'll get lucky then :'(
    I know this happens to fit new 5s into the rewards calendar, but I would still respectfully ask for some other way this could happen without skipping a classic 5 given how long it takes to come back to the top of the list.

    Hela sharts will be progression rewards in Operation Spider Silk. In the PVE before that, Heimdall is the sacrificial lamb for the new 5* (plus Heimdall already had his turn in his "proper" place for this cycle).

    Ah yeah you're right. I still just expect the 2 lines of text for the events to be progression rewards first and placement rewards second, like the order in which you'll earn them. But they list them alphabetically instead. Doesn't matter how many times I trip over that, I can still do it one more time :D

    Not sure if it works but it's guaranteed you will get a lot of data.
