Seriously, don’t do it.
I’ve already told my alliance that I’m not playing it if it is run again.
If they do change it ( which they won’t) we won’t be told the changes and it will just be more celebratory frustration.
If frustration, anger, feeling like a useless participant to my alliance and a failure all=Fun… then i’m all funned out.
If they do it again I’m going to create a one person alliance for myself just for this event and clean sweep the progression rewards from rounds 1 to 4 when the event was actually doable
Or I’m just going to find something else to do that is actually enjoyable
Probably the latter
Rather they should change the prizes.
Red Hulk covers for round 5,6,7
And Legendary Token for round 8
I hope you’re right, since my sincere expectation is that they WILL change it, and make it harder. Too many people have failed to achieve the stated goal of “you’re supposed to lose”. Just as in the pre-release, I fully expect winning strategies will be blocked.
Oh yeah…i totally smell a double down on the Devs part here.
I fully expect them to change this…and not for the better.
The second round will be even worse…mark it down.
easy…marc
Just wanted to agree with you both. Based on past experience I see them making it harder, not easier.
They didn’t do all this programming and get these art assets and junk just to trash the entire event after one go.
It’ll probably be added as a standard repeated PVE event like Simulator or Gauntlet or whatnot.
I do expect some changes, but getting top rewards ain’t ever going to be easy so long as it’s a 4*.
Maybe it’ll be more doable when the rewards are 3 Colossus covers and maybe one XF Deadpool
How could they make it harder? Apart from the side nodes it’s frickin impossible. I’ve been so disappointed by this event. Lucky I’ve so many in my roster. Just end up sacrificing players who are rarely used to galactus. Either they didn’t test this game or they’re trying to end it and move on. Happy Anniversary ( Not).
Easy.
Professor X is incapacitated by the presence of Galactus. Good luck!
The only ways you can beat rounds 7+8 are cheating the game by force closing or using some Prof X combo, and even with combo you are likely to cheat a few times.
if you get 30 black hulks pants rips off blinding all for a total win
was a date ever provided for the proposed second run?
It will run again. At 5am BST it is all automated to restart with new rewards and a higher difficulty. About 3pm my time developers will start to roll into the office, a bit bleary eyed and hungover then after a few hours reading forum posts they may call a strategy meeting. This meeting will last a couple of hours or a dozen doughnuts and 2 or 3 coffee’s then may, just may make a change. By which time I will be starting my night shift.
Not true at all, the team I used was 3* and under.
It will very likely start a few hours in the end of the Simulator PVE.
hmm…i could have sworn i saw that it would begin tomorrow at noon eastern, but finding it impossible to track down with the influx of new threads…
If they run both concurrently I suppose the Simulator’s engagment will curbstomp Galactus’.
The only way this event should be rerun with no changes is if they swapped out the proposed Red Hulk rewards for Silver Surfer or Old Man Logan & the Galactus Hungers tokens for Legendary ones.
In my opinion, the rewards would then be appropriately calibrated to the difficulty.
The Devs cheated by making the event harder every time a strategy was suggested in the thread that introduced the stupid event.
Players gonna play play play.
Shake it off.
This is what I feel is appropriate rewards for the difficulty of this event. Lots of alliances who were willing to put in some effort got past round 5 only to get completely stuck on round 6. Only high-tier super active alliances seem to be beating round 8, so a legendary appropriate for them. My alliance is not hardcore enough that we were expecting all the rewards, but with as hyped as we were for the event and as many people were gunning to do every single node every single refresh, we thought we’d get one cover and if we were good maybe two. As is, it’d take a miracle for us to clear round 6 on this last refresh.
I beat G a few times but usually just sacrificed to play side events.
If you happen to be in a fairly weak alliance you really have no chance, so a bit unfair.
Maybe limit the number of participants from each alliance: most alliances should be able to fine 5 or so players to represent the team while the rest can do the other challenges. That would make it fairer and funner. if that’s a word.
