The Balance of Power event is incoming just around the corner and we wanted to give you a heads-up about a known issue.
Currently Balance of Power does not take into account the recent addition of 5-Stars to the game. That means, while 1, 2, 3, and 4-Stars will all be equalized at level 270, 5-Stars will maintain their current levels. The issue was caught too late to switch the event out for another, and because the event will occur in the Versus off-season, it was determined that development time would remain focused on other priorities/fixes.
After this occurrence, the Balance of Power event will be properly re-tuned to take 5-Stars into account. Another upside is that the number of players that have developed 5-Star characters is still low (so most players seeing a 5-Star should largely be able to Headbutt Silver Surfer into oblivion anyway).
Thanks in advance for your understanding.

P.S. It was also too late to rename the event “Imbalance of Power.”
And I wonder why? Maybe because these events already have their placeholders and people at the back was too busy to notice that SS, OML and Phoenix are there
At least this was brought up before the event starts otherwise you’ll see a lot of posts about the issue with their 5 stars not being buffed
Ahh I see. Given that the level of all tiers this time is 270 I imagine that any 5*'s in future BOP events will be brought down to 270. Otherwise it would have made more sense to level everyone up to 450 this time.
