Basically there are two concurrent events, one for Team Cap and one for Team Iron man. Playing a node on one side locks it on the other side too, so the tricky bit is making sure you get enough Points on both sides. Other than that it is like any other boss battle.
My old casual alliance used to focus on the side with the best rewards first, and when people got locked out because the boss was too high level for them to defeat they switched to the other side and started working on that boss instead. Towards the end, we were able to clear round 7 on both sides, but there were a few strong players at that Point putting in a lot of work.

I hope this means the event gets extended to four Days so the end comes at noon EST instead of midnight EST. That last Little four hour refresh happens to fall between 2AM and 6AM in my timezone, so I usually end up sleeping through it.

This whole 8 hour thing has to change if this is to become a regular thing. I make exceptions for the Boss Events up to now, because they ran so rarely. If Boss Events start becoming a weekly thing, its totally unfair on anyone that happens to be outside of the US time zone. I'm certainly not going to be late to work on a morning just to get a clear in on a silly mobile game.
I agree it needs to change to fit the normal PVE schedule. Maybe they can incorporate Time Slices and instead of locking us out, we can just keep hitting the boss

As a few stated, great to see more boss events, variety is good, but please adjust the ISO rewards to put them on a par with doing regular PVE. With no sub or end event rewards during Boss events the daily ISO drop is noticeable.
ISO Wise:
6x clears in PVE gets a bit more ISO than doing all node clears for a Boss
Prog ISO is about similar between PVE prog and Boss prog
Sub result ISO is non-existent for a Boss so at least 3k and easily more depending on CL and T100 placement for a regular PVE
End result ISO is non-existent for a Boss, similarly at least 3k+ easily with T100
Philly484 said: Okay, so they give us something that basically gives us what I would consider better rewards as a veteran player, yet you all are going to attack them for it!?!? I mean it is going to be a break from the dredge of the PVE grind, it will allow players who are not as comfortable at PVP to focus on that. It will allow players who complain about not having covers to further advance their roster, and the fact that this event basically gives free 4LT's as no other boss event does that, seems like an okay trade off for the complaints that have come in about Iso and timing as all boss events have the same clear time, and always have. So basically if it happened once a month people are still going to complain. The fact as well as it's this particular boss event which requires more effort on the alliance as a whole, but heaven forbid as the other boss events don't require as much grind, but they give players something they ask for then the other faction of players complain, because they think they deserve free stuff. This is a good thing as it allows for a break, and the timing may be set in US times zones, but seems like most players all over the glob seem to still make it work for them.
Nick441234 said: They make it work because boss events were rare, doing it every week would become a problem. I'm presuming you dont have an issue with the time zones, so its not a problem for you. Me having to do a clear, which would normally take at least half an hour, between the hours of 1am and 9am, is and has always been a huge inconvenience. That is why, in normal PVE's, I don't select a time slice that will require me to do any playing during those times.
