If the devs tried to abolish 48-hour subs, we would get at least one run of each every month, frequently more.It would be great if they could update some of the existing events to actually have 4 subs though, but in the story events it would mean creating new content, so it may be easier said than done. Simulator could easily be expanded to four subs since it has no story, but considering how popular the current run is that may not be a good idea... It's not only about 48 hour subs, it's specifically about running DP vs MPQ after every boss event, like clockwork.Bring back heroics with one sub being 48 hours, shorten Hulk to a 4 day variant, do _anything_ except run DP vs MPQ.But of course stuff that requires work to fit the schedule has to wait, because devs are busy with... whatever.Would be nice to know if they're actually working on something.

That I can agree with. I want Deadpool vs MPQ to run Thursday - Monday because that fits my Schedule eminently well. Tuesday is one of the worst PvE grinding Days in the week for me, so I would have prefered a four day event that had the break on Tuesday.
They did try to run Hulk in a Three- or fourday slot once, back in 2014 I Believe. It wasn't pretty, the subs weren't even 12 hours long.

bluewolf said: One nice thing about DPvMPQ with 48 hour subs is that the struggling alliances who play into Sunday in the boss event can have an easier time dealing with overlapping the two events. You can join late in a 48 hour sub and still easily hit max progresssion, perhaps place well too. I would guess that participation is higher in the event following bosses when they start with a 48 hour sub.Yes, it’s a bit of a resource hit, but there are sometimes other factors. I have no excuse for the dated boss rewards, though.

Then they could start off with Enemy of the State after a boss events because the first sub is 48hrs and it's one of the better events due to all the tokens. Sure it's a 7 day event but it won't be as bad since boss events are less grindy

That wasn’t a problem the last time a 7-day ran through mid-week. It used 1set of boosted perfectly fine.
And that was... what? September 2016? There's probably a reason they haven't done it again...
But yes, since the weekly boosted characters aren't used in the boss battle it's not a huge problem to shift it. It might be a Little bit confusing next weekend when there is one set of boosted characters in PvE and Another set in PvP, but it's not necessarily a bad thing.

I would like to know if I am free to spend some cp trying for Reyes and Murdock covers before the Enemies of Vengeance store expires.If not, thanks in advance for checking!

What classics have not shown up yet? We can probably narrow the field down. OML, BP, Cap, and Thanos. I think that's all...... Maybe?

If you don't count 5tarlord, Doctopus, Spidey, and DD, who transited from Latests to Classics after 5* became essential
