(hope this reasoning wont get me into long useless debate about expectations and logic, or lack there of ;-) )

Quebbster said: They want to run Gambit and Grocket as Essentials together again, obviously. It might even be a new character release for extra madness.

I found myself ending match slower than usual for the first node with three loaners.Is the simulator PvE on 22nd Jan the one where you fight X-Men and other Marvel characters instead of the usual minions like the Hand, Mindless Ones etc.? I remember getting destroyed by a certain team. I'm not sure if it's the one with 3* Gambit, Jean Grey, Ice Man or Prof. X.

Darts.But I'm sure someone will come up with convoluted "reasons" again. The pattern is 3 Latest, 2 Classic. That is THE pattern. The only pattern.Nothing is out of order, everything fits the pattern.Maybe it is darts. Maybe it isn't. I doubt they'll tell us either way. I suspect we got what we got as a compromise in the first place (Devs want to focus on Latest for business reasons, players concerned with Classics as well because there's so many more of them to rotate through).The reality is that so long as the 3L2C pattern remains intact, nothing is wrong, and they're doing exactly what they said they would. People focused on release order, or some idea that one order of Latest is superior or inferior to another, or more or less likely than another, simply need to meter their expectations a little.

Major overlap - no yellow or green. Expensive powers. Moonstone. And Kraven. Simulator - xmen version - has some very hard nodes, but nerfed 3* gambit could make some easier. Edit: they usually update Simulator with new teams, so we don’t know what it will really be yet.
