Did you just update in the middle of the night on a Saturday?

I’m envisioning Brigby, doing shots, and drunk posting sneak peeks.

3

He probably wanted to make sure there was no doubt that this was the real thread and not an April Fool’s joke.

4

When there is a new characer release cant you just post it in the sneak peek and not mention the new character’s name just write like new character?

5

Thanks Brigby. Appreciate you going the extra mile.

6

I assume that the following Black Panther-PVP will have icon_caroldanvers.png
yellowflag.png
as progression reward which will put my Carol to a rather dangerous 2/5/5 (I had some negative experiences with this build because of wasted covers). Let´s hope that I´ll pull the elusive black soon!

PS: Thanks Brigby that you pull an all-nighter in order to keep us players up to date!

7

Or for me will be useless for my 2 5 4 Carol… I’ve already gotten at least 3 Yellow covers waiting for either of the other two colors…
Colorless covers, or the ability to apply a 6th cover to one of the other two powers, has been needed since the launch of this game. Yet we get “Vintage Heroic Tokens” instead.

8

I’m one step closer on 3 5 4 but not like I’m ever able to get T5 in PVP. There’s a lot that’s needed like expanding the pool of players that get the 4 star rewards even if it means releasing CL 9 and 10.

9

Seriously, this is next level commitment.

Thanks, Brigby, much appreciated; you’re the best community manager we’ve had, without a doubt.

10

FYI, CaPtain Marvel (carol) comes before CaRnage in the alphabet

Edit: caPtain… icon_eek.gif

12

The order is not always strictly alphabetical. Venom (Agent Venom) should have been before Venom (Eddie Brock), not after Agent Coulson. The Hulk (Totally Awesome) and The Punisher (Max) should both be at T but are actually at H and P respectively.
The order is probably alphabetical, but according to a secret dev document where not everyone has the same name as in the final product. Wouldn’t surprise me if Captain Marvel was listed as Carol Danvers there.

13

Would it be possible posting the weekly buffed characters more than 48 hours in advance? Some of us likes to know/plan where to put our ISO. Thanks.

14

*(4/4/17) Brigby - Updated Versus events, Story events, and Weekly Buffs

I’ll see what I can do, but usually I only post it about 48 hours in advance in order to give the development team enough time and wiggle room to finalize details beforehand.

15

Two weeks in a row with zero buffed 4* champs. Yikes.

16

Boosted Strange… Easy mode : On

Nothing strong for me in 4* land this time round but strange, super steve and doom, i’ll more than cope

17

Following up a week-long Hulk PVE (where my required Agent Venom only had the dreaded single black cover), a full week of buffed Dr Strange in PVE will be a nice change of pace.

18

Hearts of Darkness, 4 star placement ???

New release event! And one of my preferred story events to boot. Should be easy with a boosted Dr. Strange given the quantity of goon nodes.

The last day though… that might be tricky.

19

Nova & Quake will definitely be my favourite team for next week.

By the way, there’s still no information on 4* placement rewards for HoD. Are you unsure in terms of the release date of Cloak & Dagger? icon_e_wink.gif

20

It’s official: https://news.marvel.com/games/62535/pie … ak-dagger/

Cloak and Dagger will be the 4 star placement award in Hearts of Darkness.
