    For the Liefeld track I would like to say 5 Star Stryfe. He is sort of a hole missing considering the Summers, Sinister, Apocalypse connection….but then maybe we need Maddie as Goblin Queen as well.

    I’m here for all those. Forearm, Gideon, Garrison Kane… let’s get ‘em all in there.

    Agreed. I don’t know of a single game worse off for having more green pony tailed characters (the times it was white was a dye job).

    Operation Spider Silk finishes on a Friday??  This isn't what is shown in the calendar in the thread, though the day gap is shown between the Hunt ending and OSS starting.  The calendar also makes OSS look like a 3-day not the 4-day that's running.  Lots of confusion this week with PVE!  No announcement in game either.

    Is this a shift to a new schedule?  New DPD starts a week today so perhaps bigger schedule shifts are incoming.

    Funny how quickly we went back to Demiurge style of communication.
    DDQ changes are less than a week away - info dump Friday before leaving the office, to remind us of the good old times?

    Of the past three "weekly updates" (updated every Monday, they continue to say!), two have been missed entirely. No explanation, no apology, not a single team member taking 19 seconds to crack out a "Sorry, no update this week" message.

    On the surface, this looks like incompetence and discourtesy. But read between the lines, and it's completely obvious that this all points to an absolutely amazing, game-changing September update!

    I’m probably gonna get some comments for this, but can we get some more variety of featured characters please? We have another America Chavez Versus at the end of the month. She is featured all the time. I love her in the game and in the comics, but how bout some love for some of the other characters? Legion, The Punisher, Nebula, and dozens of others I haven’t seen rewards for, or events for, in ages, if ever. I’d really love to see Spider-Ham more than once a year. 2nd year player and still stuck at only 7 covers for him.

    Presumably is because of Latin American month? Apologies if it is called something else it is not something that we have in the UK. That is why Reyes Ghost Rider. Nova etc. and why we have Reptil. Obviously with her being in Doc Strange 2 she has been busy in 2022.

    Yea, she and Miles Morales have been the poster children for Hispanic Heritage month all these years (and lately Robbie Reyes been more popular after his rework). That is also partly because the game has had very few Hispanic/Latino characters added. Tbh aside from Sunspot and Cecilia Reyes I struggle to name even five from the comics. 

    So even though Reptil plays kinda meh his inclusion is a welcomed addition to this limited pool.

    Yeah, I can't really either and nobody wants to scrape the very bottom of the barrel and drag out Defensor

    Update posted yesterday shows the Deadpool Dailies starting on the 19th with the same format as the prior one.  5x 4*s and 1 crash 4*.  Based on the image we should be on weekly DPD starting the 19th.

    I wonder if that will be postponed and the recent PVE hiccups have caused delays.

    Would track - roll out the dual releases as planned, postpone the alleged help with roster slot pressure.

    New 5* boost list looks pretty good.

    yeah, not sure what's going on.... Thought that Sept 19 would bring in the new DDQ, but what was posted is in a 5 day format, but the graphic appears weeklong. Am I missing something?

    So wait, are they making Deadpool Dailies into only 5 a week  rather than actually daily? Or are they lowering the daily quest threshold to 5 for full rewards or whats going on here?

    Stuff like the crash/vault will reset once a week instead of 5 days. They said they are also adjusting rewards and likely are adding more to it but there are hardly any details.

    She is also featured for Pride and Women of Marvel. Because she fits into several categories that get promoted she gets more exposure than most characters.

    I'm all for representation but it does seem like if a certain character will get extra features regularly then they should be left out of the "regular" rotation, at least. We're so bloated with 4* stars that with all of the feature months the rest can't even cycle through once within a year.
