Unique Reward(s): Sentry Red Cover - One node in the final sub-event (Thunderbolts Mountain) gives a red Sentry cover as a reward. During the first run of the event this node was unlocked via a global progress bar. During the most recent run of the event, this node was unlocked as soon as the player completed nodes in the sub-event.
Other Notes:
Subs 1, 2, and 7 run on their own. Subs 3 & 4 and 5 & 6 run side by side. Sub 3 (LA) & 5 (Washington DC) have lower points and enemy levels than Sub 4 (Wakanda) & 6 (Hell’s Kitchen)
Sub-Events:
Sub 1: Manhattan
Sub 2: China
Sub 3: Los Angeles & Sub 4: Wakanda
Sub 5: Washington DC & Sub 6: Hell’s Kitchen
Sub 7: Thunderbolts Mountain
Ugh. I don’t like this event. Super grindy especially when 2 subs open concurrently.
Is Cmags buffed for this event? That’s not very nice either since they havent given out much of CMags recently and whatever covers i get from tokens seems to be Yellow.
And is there a spelling error for the title in the game? Or is it intentional? I thought the original phrase was Prodigal Son. Is there a reason it’s Sun instead? Not very familiar with the story of Sentry.
On the plus side… Ummm… We get a week off from new characters after this event!
I can’t be the only one to wonder about the points available in this because final progression at 14k for a 5.5 day event seems really low IMO. Compared to the previous event where I was only barely able to get all progression rewards this is certainly an improvement presuming they didn’t lower the points for the nodes or anything like that. Too bad I don’t need the Loki green myself, but it’s a vast improvement over MoStorm, and boosted Ares and Daken is fun to play I have to say. Looking forward to trying Ares/Daken/Loki, actives in all colours and three passives should work pretty well, right?
Trying to stay positive here, I agree that the back-to-back-to-back new character releases are kind of pushing it too far, but I just hope this is a one time thing and not something we are going to have to get used to in the long run.
I strongly suspect that the consecutive releases were designed to wrap the Women of Marvel month, tie into the Daredevil series, and start Avengers: Age of Ultron tie-in stuff so that it’s all finished on time.
There’s no way anybody at D3/Demiurge could confirm that, but that’s how the evidence points.
They really should have addressed roster slots (cheaper or something) or increased hp gains prior to this. Very poor management that just pisses people off and makes them quit. I don’t mind spending money on the game, but not if/when they cost $5 just to add a single char to my roster. That costs so mich more than a typival AAA title.
That would be nice too.
Here’s the thing though: They rarely if ever run consecutive storyline events - it’s always interspersed with Heroic Mode, Simulator, Gauntlet etc. Now they have had three storylines in a row, all introducing new characters. I got the feeling from IceIX that they are building up to something, and finishing a storyline cycle would fit nicely into that so they can run another chapter afterwards.
I could be wrong though. I frequently am.
Because overscaled Thor, Wolverine, Hulk and Falcon being fed purple is so much better… oh and not being able to use XF, LT or GT…
Remember also about the double goon+HT node - that’s fun too!
