Is this the first time the featured PvE 5 & 4 essentials have been the same character?
BW5 already after just 2 months? (usual should take over half a year to turn around..) Is this to push gambit for a week, till after his special sale is over?
i really hope this is a copy/paste error though...
My bw5 really blows at 3/1/0 as my worst covered 5* by far, so I probably wouldnt use her beside her essential node, but locking the boosted 5 out from any node seems like either an error (i hope) or a bad idea to be thematic (i fear), or perhaps there was no thought behind this unfortunate decision (i expect)..
either way, still got time to make adjustments............
Yes. It appears that Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff) was included as the essential 5-Star as a tie-in to the MCU 10 year anniversary.
Having said that though, I'm afraid I'm a bit confused as to what you mean @Bowgentle about the boosted 5-Star being locked out of the 4-Star node. (5-Star not being allowed in 4-Star node seems intentional) Are you still talking about Thick as Thieves, or about Come and Get Me?

It means the same character is featured as boosted 4* and 5*. So when using BW on the 4* essential node, you won't be able to use the boosted 5* as its also BW so locked out. Normally you can bring your boosted 5* along to other nodes to give a helping hand.

Ahh I see. Technically Loki is also buffed for the event, although I know it would still take some time for players to acquire him first.

Im honestly a little shocked this wasnt clear even after it was mentioned...
Saying Loki is also buffed, when event starts during his release, is pretty much a cop out. Just a handful of players will have him even rostered, let alone having him playable. Not being able to use the 5 essential on 4* node is little more than just “meh, not important”.
I applaude anything you wish to do special for movie tie-ins or an anniversary like this, but this seems very little thought through... And why not use First Avenger, who is due about a week after. Would even be more thematic id say.. Or Panther, who is due in couple weeks. Less thematic, but would make whole lot more sense than bringing Widow around already...

This does seem odd. If it had been the 3* and 4* essentials that were doubled up it would break the loaner node and no-one would be able to play the event.

It's not really a matter of having a fivestar to bring into the node. A high level fivestar that's also boosted has very high match damage, so it's nice to bring it along just to speed up the fights (they often end long Before you have a chance to fire any Powers). Very few people will have a high level Loki when Thick as Thieves run.

Plus Loki isn't an essential so the 5* variant isn't locked out of anything.
This is a pretty bad precedent @Brigby, you may want to alert the devs so that they can avoid that in the future (or maybe change it for this event, if it's not too late).

There should be checks that prevent that.
Oh that's odd. Apologies for the confusion, and the seemingly dismissive nature of my comment. I don't know why my second sentence wasn't saved prior to posting.
My second sentence was informing players that I would bring it up with the team to discuss if anything can be adjusted, prior to the event running.

I like the idea of (Mildly Surprised X-Men)
Might well be, the Essentials are usually just chugging along their respective lists.
i really hope this is a copy/paste error though...

Locking the boosted 5 out of the 4* node probably is a "whoops, we haaven't thought about that!"
And we all know there won't be adjustments.
