    I beat up Apocalypse some more even though I didn't need to.

    I feel shame.

    So this is what it is like to finish a Boss Event on a Friday.

    It feels cold. So cold.

    Hmm...is that still one wave node available? Just a minute, I have to go...uhm...check on my cat as it looks like he might be thinking about the Boss Even even though he doesn't need to coz that would be ridiculous. Ridiculous. Silly cat!

    It's 500 ISO per side node.
    That's 50 skips in pvp!
    It all adds up.

    Hey i hit those missions more times that i needed to as well for that sole purpose of getting that extra iso for the million skips i needed to use in PvP to get a matchup that isn’t Chasm/iHulk.

    Not about the boss event, so I apologize for being off topic, but just in case you didn’t know, I wanted to mention that after skipping 4 times (and once you start having to pay iso) you can force close the app, restart it, and then you get another 4 skips for free. If you are worried about iso, this can help with some savings.

    Yeah but then we lose our cache.

    But if you're skipping, you don't have cache anyway.

    Got all my covers. So I'm happy with the overall resolution. But these kinda issues should not be occuring

    It looks like many (all?) in my alliance family got their rewards, though I do still feel bad for low-level rosters that got jumped up straight to 8th round and couldn't do much of anything.

    Who knows, they took a time out from Friday,
    I guess they'll look at what happened when they reconvene at work today.

    So we'll know sometime on Wednesday via carrier pigeon. Got it.

    The low level rosters in my alliance got the personal progression rewards.

    One guy in our alliance got stuck. He had previously been able to get full prog.

    In multiple pvps, such as season end when we're managing pvp and ssim.

    In general, pushing out changes to a live environment at the end of the week is not a good idea. If issues arise, as they typically do, nobody wants to be called in on the weekend to put out fires. That would explain the radio silence and lack of a Boss restart this past weekend.

    As for re-running the Boss event, the devs didn't say it would happen but would provide more information on Monday. It appears that they wanted to reassess the situation after the current run ended and see if the alliance rewards were pushed out to players who didn't receive them. Thankfully it did, which has been the expected norm in past Boss events.

    At this point, we're waiting to see what BCS will do next. Anything can happen, and here are 2 possibilities:

    1) Re-run the Boss event, with the proper fixes, to give players another opportunity to earn the rewards
    2) Send out the alliance rewards to all players in lieu of running the Boss event again

    Personally, I don't mind either option. If they were to re-run the Boss event, I'd prefer they do it today so that it doesn't interfere with the start of the next season. The easiest solution would be to send out the rewards to all with their standard mea culpa message, maybe throw in some extras to sweeten the impact, and call it a day! :)

    They've already done #2. My alliance mates who joined after we finished round 8 all reported they got full rewards this morning.

    Got my rewards last night. Was a welcome surprise. My Kang is now 3/2/2 with 1250 shards waiting for bad pull distribution when I pull for him after next season (already have HM and Wong at 13+).
