    Ha, you are both talking at cross purposes. Daz meant missing, as in regretting it wasn't there, and LavaMan interpreted missing, as forgot to take part in the event that was there.

    Ahh bingo. English language. Gotta love it.

    To be fair I just read my post back and didn't understand it either!

    And the same people who complain about literally everything else will complain about that too, and then stick around forever so they can complain about whatever the next change is.

    If players are so dissatisfied with the game's direction and the current developers, the only way to make their voices heard is to walk away. Complaining doesn't work, and never will, because they see that everyone is still engaging with the game anyway.

    The player base have plenty to answer for anyway such as not voting Paste Pot Pete. I bet that is the real reason they took away Heroic Boss events, we just don't deserve them based upon our your (not Entrail) bad choices

    Unlike all recent boss events, normal and heroic, this normal boss event has no loaner characters for either the boss node or the mission nodes.
    It's probable that that was an oversight rather than intentional.
    After all, why have loaner characters for every normal boss event for months but not have them for this one?
    Is there any chance that this could be rectified via a patch in the next 24 hours or so?

    Totally understand the feedback here! It's not necessarily an oversight, but simply a rerun of an old event with an updated reward schedule. It's been a while since the original ran so I also thought it was a bug, but that was how it was originally designed. We'd have to adjust this for its next run though since by the time you see an event in game, it's very difficult to remake it and seamlessly integrate into the game in real time. Usually the solution requires rerunning an event, but that's not an option here.

    I think it's been too long since this event was questioned for it's validity and place in the game. It's the easiest boss fight of any, and just doesn't make sense, so I'd like to suggest remodeling this fight.

    I'd suggest modeling this boss Thanos after the 4* varient, and change his powers to adapt to the key mechanic change I suggest which is: Give Thanos the ability to make matches back, and give him extra passives for any Infinity Stones he matches before you. This would make the battle feel like a race to beat him to the stones, and really bring some drama to the match.

    I would suggest a range of abilities like increasing match damage, dealing reduced AoE on match, taking reduced damage, negating the next source of damage, heal when matching strongest colors, and steal 1 AP of the same color as the match he makes. Might even make all his matches act like a Match 4, like Wiccan.

    Overall this event needs reworked badly, like many of the boss events. Just wanted to put down the suggestion since I've thought it before.

    I really like the play mechanics of this event, buts its WAY too easy. It just took a turn or two and Thanos was down at every level.

    I haven't got a top roster (compared to the top players, not the overall player base) and I downed him on turn 1 every time. It's a really tough balance to strike to produce a good game mode between veteran players and newer players.

    At this point in the game, I think the Boss strength being linked to roster strength or SCL, might be the only way to go but then questions would be asked if the rewards should go the same way, which they can't without reducing the current rewards. So then complaints about having to work harder for the same resources.

    I think an interesting debate could be had about Boss Events and thoughts about how they could be structured differently.

    Thanos should get an infinity gauntlet countdown that when it goes off halves the health of all player characters.

    That'd just punish newer players while doing absolutely nothing to stop high-end rosters. Bosses are a tricky thing in the first place; they're low engagement for newer players since they can only go so high, they kind of need to be trivial for most of us posting here so that others can succeed and have fun with it. I thought the heroic split was ideal since it gave the high-end something cool and different to do while new players could work their way up to completing the normal mode.

    Sad to see Heroic version gone but if they could add repeatable progression rewards like in Season Pass. Coz if your alliance knows what they're doing the event is done in less than 48 hours and there's no point in hitting nodes anymore.

    If you need iso, there is that from the side nodes. Also clearing side nodes can trigger bonus rewards, or should, which you otherwise can’t earn besides from ddq on those days.

    And helpful for season quests, too, because of the 8hr reset rather than 24hrs.

    8hr vs 12hr but your point still stands.
