I don’t think anyone has done one of these yet, so I figured I’d make a list of the times that characters are away on patrol.
I think the length of time they are away is independent of their level, but if anyone has any differing information, please add it and I’ll make the appropriate adjustments
Adding in recall costs if you want to recall them immediately. Recall costs degrade over time, and the rate is still being spaded.

I was thinking about that too. There’s certainly some that are powerful in the 24 hour camp… but I don’t think I’d put XForce in there. Not when you have L’Cap hanging out in the 8 hour camp. I’d much rather have 3 of his team-ups than a single XForce.
Either that, or how much they consider the powers useful, or maybe some collected data on how much people tend to put such powers on use. I suspect that because of Yelena Belova being the fastest, and I was full of Belova tags prior to the update…
It does seem that way, but if the team-ups stick around after the character is back from patrol, then it’s not so terrible to send one out each day overnight of a character you know you won’t use.
Is the cost to recall those guys related to how long they’re out? How much does it cost to begin with? I’m afraid to check it because I heard it just takes it from you without confirmation if you click on it, but I sent out Nick Fury yesterday and he’s a required character in the next event…
The patch notes said that the heroes on patrol would be unavailable for a “short time”. I would consider a “short time” to be no more than one or two hours, since team-ups are of limited usefulness. 24 hours is a long time. I’d use this if the times were shorter, but I’m not going to give up characters on my roster for that long, and I’m not going to ask my alliance members to do it, either.
By the way, this would be a good example of where communication is lacking. I don’t mind the fact that the teamup feature mostly sucks and now I’m potentially penalized for sending out Nick Fury to the first guy who asked for help only to find that it takes him 36 hours to return even though I was told it’s a ‘short time’. But right now I’ve to make a choice between recalling Nick Fury for iso 8 and possibly see a message like ‘Thanks for the 500 HP $$$, please come again’, but not having him available can have an adverse impact on iso 8 brotherhood. I don’t mind paying some HP to get him back even if it’s not my fault, but I need to at least know if we’re talking about 50 or 500 HP here before I click on that button, which I’m told doesn’t even ask for a confirmation.
