    Dark Avengers Heroic was not quite what I had in mind when I saw TBA... Oh well.

    A suggestion David: If there is another time that an unknown event needs to be listed, use "TBD" instead of "TBA". To be announced could imply something that hasn't been run before, which coupled with the 5* preview, made people think there might be a launch story event. To be determined removes that implication.

    Well that's a bummer (Heroic). Came here today hoping to see some good news. Oh well.

    Appreciate the suggestion and I'll keep it in mind. However, the event was already decided, just not yet announced. And it changed. TBA was more accurate than TBD when it was posted. I get your point though that players will make assumptions.

    Dissapointed with lack of a new content.
    At very least I would welcome a rerun of Antman's/Cho's release event...

    I guess this means that the new 5* will go straight to tokens? After all, I seem to recall that it was decided a long time ago that no more new characters would be released in Heroic events. And I was so hoping for a boss battle release like Demi did with Cap and IM. Oh well.

    omg.....lmfao at y'all thinking there would be new content.

    That makes me sad for everyone AND depressed about the game in general.

    I got excited as well. And now I am sad, as per usual. Time to skip pve again, as I can't stand fighting those same old dark avengers for the umpteenth time.

    Not sure if I misunderstand David's reply - to me it seems they planned an event, but then they finally changed (e.g. as they were not yet ready)....

    It certainly seems that way, but reading between the lines seems to be a dangerous practice that got us here in the first place.

    Tell that to the developers. They are the ones giving us the hints! They want us to guess and guess we will.

    We get hints for stuff, sure - I think the point was "TBA" wasn't intended to be a hint to be guessed at, though. It really did just mean "To be announced."

    Another limited roster event. Meh!

    Lets see what rubbish they give us to work with this time.

    It's on page 1 of this thread...

    4* - Cyclops, Kate Bishop, The Thing, Venom
    3* - Black Panther, Falcon, Kamala Khan, Thor, Vision
    2* - Ares, Magneto
    1* - Black Widow, Juggernaut

    Essentials are Nick Fury, 3* Spider-man and 2* Thor. Only thing unknown is who the reinforcements are, but it's a pretty good selection.

    Cyke will single-handedly wreck this of course, but no way to deal with Bullseye's protect tiles makes sure you'll be taking plenty of damage.

    No, Redwing is no counter to the 15 protect tiles BE spams.

    It's a darn shame I don't have more covers for Kate Bishop, she and Venom looks like a darn good combo with either Thing or Cyclops...
