AoE Week begins!

X-23 is boosted 2 weeks in a row or is that mistake?
Also is there any info about how long are you gonna keep placing newer and newer 4* in ddq before reset of that cycle?

Whoops, typo! Thanks for the catch. Should be Ant-Man starting tomorrow.

No real news on 4* cycling other than we’ll reset it when it’s through a cycle, very similar to how 3*s were woven in when that was still an ongoing thing.

Why so many Heroics all of a sudden?

We’ve been running them at about a 2:1 ratio lately, which probably feels like more since we haven’t run any 7 days for the past while since Prodigal Sun which breaks up the flow a bit.

Ghost Rider - Vicious Cycle

Made me chuckle. icon_e_biggrin.gif

I think the point might have been that it feels like we’re adding them faster than we’re catching up? The current Gamependium projection doesn’t have the cycle resetting until after New Year’s. We’ve got at least one more 4* being released before then, which would make mid-January… which lets somebody else get released, which pushes the cycle back more…

I haven’t checked the old DDQ calendars, but (except for Bullseye) I think that new characters weren’t slotted in until we’d hit the end of the cycle.

On the topic of the new 4* - my best guess is Emma Frost, although I know they’ve said they’re taking a break from mutants. OTOH, I can’t think of anybody else not already in the game for whom invisibility stands out as a power.

Miles Morales?

Invisibility and web tiles

Probably. Another long-shot option would be Spiderman 2099.

Wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.
It needs to be Scraping at the Door. It…NEEDS to be.

Don’t do this to me, guys! I was looking forward to seeing that!

There’s still time, you can still change it!

I have to admit I don’t know Miles well, but I don’t see how the invisibility tiles fit.

Miles can go invisible. He can also stun.

Miles Morales is the better bet, but at first I thought of Katherine Pryde

Also, Stephen Strange.

I’m fairly certain the preview for 1* Spider-Man also referred to Web Tiles as as well.

I know Miles makes the most sense since he is current, but give me a 4* Eddie Brock Venom and 90s-angst me will die happy. The skills would fit his powers as well.

Miles Morales could be cool, but wouldn’t Spider-Gwen be more likely, given her popularity?

Invisibility does seem more like it’s Miles, though.

Another guess could be Nightcrawler.
Invisibility could simulate his teleporting around, especially with the “appear and deal damage” part.

This is either Miles Morales Spidey or Nightcrawler (invis/revis sounds like a teleport), but the stun and lack of blue has me leaning toward Miles.
