    I'm sure their MMR rework will be a triumph.

    Somehow, we'll end up with a bug where you can bring two Chasms.

    Please don't boost Chasm ever again until you implement a change to his power level.

    Poor Arcade. He finally gets a boost week and it features Chasm. Sigh.

    What really concerns me about a lot of these issues lately is that at least in my opinion - they could be caught early by just having one person on the team who actually plays the game. All it takes is one person pulling the game up on their phone to see, "Oh snap, there's no event preview!" or "Hey, those event rewards don't match what we sent over the forum". Sorry if this has been said already.

    IceIX does play, and bounces around to a different random public alliance every couple months.

    STILL no PVE preview?
    Did the event scheduler completely die now?

    Is Deathlok on the Reptil schedule? Spending 6 months in the Latest rotation and crowding out the actual latests for 4E?

    Oh there it is.
    Crisis averted.

    So just to confirm -- Colleen Wing is getting her turn skipped again?? I think the first time, she was crowded out by Reptil/Doop, the second time she was crowded out by Namora (who should have left Latest by that point but was getting another turn because Namora had been skipped too), and now she's getting crowded out by Deathlok, who should have left Latest two months ago.

    Someone must hate Colleen. But I can't complain; Deathlok is one of my most used 4*

    I would have no complaints about that. He’s the best 4* released since Polaris.

    We just got 4+ Collen Wing covers courtesy of the boss event re-run.

    That's at least 2 PvE's worth of covers.

    Abomination seems kinda scarce too. Didn't he get released just shortly before Wong?

    Will the 4* latest rotation be just M'Baku and Clea? Because after Infinite Pursuit we are getting Deathlok in placement instead of Colleen, and then theres Hellcat.

    Colleen got cut again :'(

    Progression alone is 3+ covers.
    So not even close to 2 PVEs.

    That depends on whether your playing CL10 or not. But it's at least 1 PvE worth and maybe more depending on your CL. So that makes up for at least 1 skip.

    All I know is that I have her at L282 which is roughly where all the other recently released 4* are (MBaku/Abomination/Namora for example) minus Clea who was released after her. So we aren't down that many covers that I would notice.

    You probably have her that high because you got covers when they retro-fed her via Psylocke. For those of us who did not have a high-levelled Psylocke, we did not get those retro feeders and she's definitely behind. Abomination and Namora also both got skipped in the rotation as well (in favor of Reptil and Doop), so their levels are not the best representation of where they should be at. I play SCL7-9 and I usually get 5 covers per rotation (3 in placement and 2 in progression).

    It would be nice if the rest of us could get her to 280 to get the SC cover.

    These supply chain problems are really affecting everyone these days!

    Oops All Florida!! : Make a one day filler event that can be inserted when they oopsie. Make it worth one 4* cover that got skipped.
    It’s not the event we want ; its the event we need!

    Everyone: "we're sick and tired of Chasm "
    BCS: "here's his first boost week! Enjoy!"

    I understand this was in jest (I lol), but for the record, this is Chasm's 3rd time boosted for the week. Not to pile it on, but there are other 5-stars released before Chasm who have fewer weeks boosted: Moon Knight, Gargantos, and Kamala Khan. Hopefully, they won't get skipped further down the line.

    Actually, all of these characters just haven't received their time in the limelight yet. What is perceived as being skipped or replaced in the 4E rotation stems from the releases for Spider-Man (Oscorp) and She-Hulk (Origin), going back to August of last year. Both were released 1 week apart, on 08/11/22 and 08/18/22, instead of the typical 4-week spread.

    As a result, the PVE rotation doubled down on featuring Spider-Man and She-Hulk until their runs were completed. The domino effect is that the latest 4's are all on a delayed cycle, while the earlier 4's finish out their appearances. On average, the latest 4-star receives 5-6 featured events. Spidey got 5, and She-Hulk got 6.

    The current tally for their featured events, in order of release, is:

    Spider-Man: 5
    She-Hulk: 6
    Reptil: 6
    Doop: 6
    Deathlok: 5
    Namora: 4
    Abomination: 3
    Colleen: 3 (including the double Boss events, thank you devs for this!)
    M’Baku: 2
    Clea: 2

    Based on the above, Deathlok should be on his last or second-to-last featured event. The others after Deathlok (Namora, Abomination, Colleen, M’Baku & Clea) are all waiting for their turns. If this trend continues, expect similar delays for future 4-star releases.

    One way to get caught up is to skip the 2 Classics and feature all of the latest 4's back-to-back until the 4E rotation is current. That's probably asking too much, but one can dream! :D
