    I still remember when they revamp the PVE SCL, it was chaotic because ALL SCL needs the old 4clear to start the timer. After some noises, they changed the new SCL 10 to 3clear to start the timer. So naturally, I'd assume everything below that is still 4clear.

    Wish they set SCL 8 & 9 to 3clear and SCL 10 to 2clear... :#

    I suspect they would ramp up the difficulty if they did that on SCL10, I think staying at 3 clears is a good balance right now, it can be tough, you can't always win unless you have elite roster but it is beatable. We've also had some nice boost lists recently which helps, I might be crying a different tune when I have to use Samurai Daken and Black Widow though!

    They didn't change the clearing / timing setup in SCL 8 and 9 to match that of 10, despite declaring that "8 is now 10!", and they haven't acknowledged this "oversight", because they don't know how to change it.

    C'mon, they couldn't make 2 subs work in Tower. THey have no idea how to make changes TO PvE structures w/o breaking things.

    Hopefully the new crew can figure it out or reach out to the old crew that understood how to alter PvE formats and get up to speed.

    All these questions can easily be answered by referring to the official announcement post about the new SCL structure and rewards improvement which surely was posted in October when this change happened, or has by now.

    Right?

    It's probably on Discord!

    Panacea, universal and evergreen.

    Over in Mystic Mayhem land they’re looking forward to the very likely end of the game in a few months. Since new content will cease around then.

    That particular event will erase every grievance, every slight, every perceived shortfall of rewards, all of it.

    Happy new year!

    I’ve never played it. It’s Marvel Mystic Mayhem. Ran for about 6 months before they announced a few days ago it’s ending content in April. Free battle pass apparently starts tomorrow. I guess a lot of issues were unaddressed but obviously the sunk cost fallacy was much weaker when you’re playing for only months.

    The fact that players of other Marvel games don’t even know it exists is? Was? probably also a problem for it.

    I deleted it the same day I installed it.

    Awesome! Hopefully this one will end soon too, so everyone can be proven right about how much they're messing it up!
