Why is it the same event all the time? Why cant we get something new like we did get on dr strange then we play all the story event. Many times we get the same event that we have played many times before
Devs don’t devote a ton of resources toward new story content instead focusing on new characters because that’s what we spend money on.
We do get new story content somewhat often, 2-4 times per year.
It really wouldn’t feel so often if they just ran some of the other events that they actually have created. The chulk event, duck season, growth industry, and the new strange event.
I mean, really, running the strange while the movie is still our just makes sense, they should throwing strange covers at us like Mardi Gras beads.
I feel like Venom Bombs runs more often than any other event but maybe it’s because I hate it
Venom Bomb isn’t so bad when you use Dr. Strange or SL, since they shoot off powers every time the symbiotes do stuff.
Creating new story events is difficult because they also need to create new enemies to fight, like in the Dr Strange event. Creating new enemies requires a lot of development and testing so that we don’t complain about the enemies being too hard. Plus, new enemies need to be different than old enemies, otherwise we would complain that they’re being lazy. Creating the actual story plot and graphics would be the easy part. They realize that we’re tired of playing the same thing over and over, which is why the Dr Strange event was a little different.
Because it takes time to create and balance new enemies, some Events just reuse existing enemies instead of creating new ones. Which is why we have event variations using Dark Avengers, Maggia, The Hand.
Already done my friend. Already done*.
Please see the PVE Events Compendium thread for details on when events where run, what order, and which feature a new character release event.
Well mostly done*
**At least the past 1.5-2 years. 2014 is still a bit sparse.
i dont really mind venom bomb now that carnage got taken to the vet and and had his boys clipped off.
it does feel like it runs after new character events alot. bringing a 1-3 cover 4 star into an essential node against 350+ venom just feels bad man.
There’s a fair amount of different events at this point. Problems are:
Most of early events are very similar (dark avengers nonsense).
The need to always have an event running makes for frequent re-runs.
There’s really no reason they can’t use the existing characters in new storylines though. That’s how comics work! I’m talking about using the playable characters, not the same goons and Dark Avengers we’re used to seeing.
I’d very seriously consider paying to play new PvE because I want it badly. It would all depend on the price point and prizes. $5 to $10 and decent prizes you bet. Especially if it featured a guaranteed Peggy.
2-4 assuming they were 7 days (which they aren’t thank god no one wants those)
Out of a year that is 50 weeks isn’t somewhat often at all.
