    Just updated the post above, but commenting here too that the Boss Event will have Taskmaster Sword Shards rather than the Favourite Support Shards due to issues with that type of Shard.
    We'll have a fix for that for future Boss Events.

    Any way you can still double the shard amount before it starts? That would be the equivalent of Favorite Support Shards for anyone who has Taskmaster already at 5 stars, and a nice little gesture for those who don’t.

    Sinister Six for a boss?! Woohooo! It's been far too long!
    I think the last time I got to do it I was a 3* transitioning to 4* roster, but now I have champed 5*s at my disposal, so I'm super excited to see how well I can do now....
    Thanks guys! 😊

    Funniest part about this is we all assumed it was Spiderman vs Sinister 6. Instead it's the reverse, Sinister 6 vs Spiderman so you'll have to wait a bit longer to try your roster against that event.

    On the plus side, they are handing out Boss points like they are going out of style. In Round 3 it's already 22K to defeat the Boss when it's normally less than half of that. Means finishing Round 8 for alliance points (set at a very low value too) is going to happen by the time you are in round 5 or 6.

    Considering the last boss event wasn’t run, so no support shards there, and now I have taskmasters sword at five stars so I’m getting half the rewards… how about we put in one of those support shard vaults at really cheap prices? Honestly I get that you guys are getting used to it. It’s a new job. The last team probably did not leave any documentation. But from a player perspective, considering all the issues, it might be time to give something back.

    How about 6* and 5* rewards in PVE? Seem like 6* Ghost Rider took over the PVE for himselft for good. As for 5* it looks like poor Iron Man has been lost in his "Cosmic Invasion" since he was introduced to the roster. Anyway, I'm just curious if it's intentional.

    Not sure they have found the change out 6 star shard button yet. At least, that’s what I’ve come to believe.

    Rewards are screwed up across the board, we've gone partially back to old cl10 ranking reward structure even with the increased difficulty, which blows. This really should be a priority and considered part of fixing event runs.

    @Timemachinego

    I should have paid more attention. I was just fixated on the never ending CGR tokens that I missed the forest. They got me with the Galactus shards today though, good on ‘em.

    I was coming to say this too. Even with locked support shards it's still going to be a tiny time investment. At the 11 hour mark I have hit personal progression & we're in round 8. It's 11 PM EST, there's a fair chance we'll be done by the time I wake up if our west coast & overseas allies all jump on at the next flip of side nodes.

    It took too long to be able to post here, but @TheMigz can you please answer the first question on this thread before you sign off for the weekend and this can’t be fixed anymore?

    Why is the PVE starting 25 hours early? Messing up both start day and time slices start?

    Also what is the White Tiger thing that didn’t happen?

    Thank you

    On the new boss event we are on Round 7 at 18 minutes past noon.

    We finished on first side node refresh. Person that joined half a day late due to time zone didn’t even get to play a single preceding round. Gotta love the sinister six style events. Especially this one that has zero challenge in it.

    Thank you

    Sorry if I'm being obtuse here but are PVE events being shifted forward a day or not?

    By that I mean that we usually have PVE events that finish at 11:00pm US PST on Thursdays, and other PVE events that finish at 11:00pm US PST on Mondays and Tuesdays.

    Is this staying the same?

    Or are the Thursday event ends about to become Wednesday event ends and the Monday and Tuesday event ends about to become Sunday and Tuesday event ends?

    (My personal reading of what I've read is that there's no change but others I know are suggesting that PVE events are being shifted forward a day as well.)

    @TheMigz, thank you in advance if you're able to clarify which of the two it's going to be.

    They started a day early today, so yes it shifted up.

    However they still used the wrong length of event. So if the next one also shift a day up as it’s supposed to, there will be a day overlap. Which is the worst.

    Remember.. baby steps..

    Thank you.

    I wish they would stop overlapping pves with other pves and boss events. The hunt shouldn’t start until tomorrow. If I had known the hunt started today I would have done it instead of the boss cause I already finished it

    The Hunt is actually starting on the announced time moving up a day. S0kun posted it before the weekend.
    Overlap with an event was unavoidable. Might as well be boss that was finished well over a day ago

    What isn’t correct, is the fact they ran a 4-day event so it will overlap again with a real PVE on Wednesday. Unless they push the next one back to the normal Thursday defeating the point.

    Hopefully @TheMigz can check and notice this (too late for this one though), as that was one of the reasons to shift: a better ability to answer problems.

    So hope we see that.

    Thank you

    You have Operation Spider silk in game to start 24 hrs after The Hunt started. That's alot of overlap.

    You’re not hardcore until you’re playing two full pves at the same time.

    Git gud, noobs!

    Okay- That PVE snuck in as an extra on the calendar after the Sword Master events got moved around. It wasn't meant to be there. So it's effectively an extra event.

    The UCOTF stands for "Uncommon of the Fortnight". This lil guy will be appearing in rewards for the next couple of weeks. I'm still becoming familiar with which things are announced vs not so apologies for the confusion!

    Uncommon of the fortnight, I like it. Anything to expand access to 2s that you can't favourite and shake up the monotony of the rewards a bit.
