72 times over 6 days

What is this, MPQ aversion therapy?

3

Lightning rounds? pass on this crap

4

Can’t wait to pull those sweet sweet 2*s from that vault

5

20 person LT with cumulative score for a 1k person leaderboard? Reading that right @Brigby?

6

If “20 person leaderboards” means 20 person brackets, anyone recall what the top 20 rewards are in lightning rounds?

7

We don’t know yet if the LR rewards are simply LR with the rewards chopped at 20, or more likely scaled to the 20 participants.

8

72 LRs over 6 days? And you have to play as much of them as possible to as high of a score as possible to even try ranking? And it’s for tokens with 2 and 3 stars in them? While regular events are still running?

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Everyone on forums, every anniversary or holiday: OMFG BRING BACK 20 MAN LIGHTNING ROUNDS
Devs: “Hey guys we slightly rebranded 20 man lightning rounds”
Everyone: OMG WHO HAS TIME FOR 20 MAN LIGHTNING ROUNDS

**Removed profanity - Ducky

10

Wait just for joining I am guaranteed at least 1 Sakaar Arena Cover? Yes fighting for 10 will be a HUGE pain but giving EVERYONE a “free” 4 or 5 star is kinda nutty.

11

Last time 20 man lightning rounds were every 7 hours. Here, they’re every 2 hours. The above reaction is perfectly justified in view of this change.

12

First time to the Forum? You’re getting a “free” 2* lol

13

Absolutely crazy…who has the time to play this way?

14

So to win overall you don’t sleep for six days?
Yep, that’s in line with the other recent changes.

15

Haha… yeah check that token contents preview again. Legendary tokens, these are not. They -are- better than heroic tokens (depending on the odds, I suppose).

16

Dang… got it confused with the Friends from Work Cover from the Thor article. Well I look forward to my 1 2 star.

17

Get ready for some 4* Thor and IM40 action!

Then see Defensive losses against 4* Thor, 5* Gambit and BB! Woohoo!

18

No kidding. First to 6 Yellow wins.

19

And to make things as fair as possible, Gambit will be boosted to level 750

I like.
