PVE: ISO-8 Brotherhood

[jffdougan]

Sorry about not getting the full post up last night; ended up having household maintenance semi-emergency to attend to. Real life must come first, and sometimes it’s no fun.

This is at least the third 7-day PVE event to run this month, with Thick as Thieves and a Heroic interrupting the streak. Also, given awards, I smell either Prodigal Sun or Deadpool v MPQ coming up. (If the latter, I think it’d be nice to add a 3rd sub that’s “Deadpool vs the New Guys” to bring in the characters new since the event was created a year ago.)

End times (Central Daylight Time):
Thursday, 30 July, 6:00 AM / 11:00 AM / 4:00 PM / 10:00 PM / 1:00 AM on July 31

This is a 7-day event because there’s no way to make it be not a 7-day event unless you do 12-hour subs. There are just too many of them. Additionally, the last of the three nodes that open the event on the main map (team-up with all required characters) remains open throughout the duration of the event.

Editing to add the reminder (thanks, mags187) that the final non-essential node in each sub is a non-repeatable 1500 ISO award.

I’ve said before I have a soft spot for this particular PVE event because of how generous it is. That, and it was the first one I entered, placing 3rd and getting my first 3 Patch covers.

Prodigal Sun did follow up Brotherhood last time around, and it’s a villain focused story, so having it’s essentials be Kingpin, Doom, and Ares, fits.

Thanks for being able to read around the typos. Stupid trying to type while pushing my 5-year-old on the swing.

My only hesitation in calling it for Prodigal Sun is that it would make at least 3 consecutive 7-day PVE events.

There’s gotta be a Gauntlet soon, right? It seems about due for one.

That would be nice, particularly if the 4* progression is Jean Grey.
Anyway… Brotherhood is all 24-hour subs, right?
Boosted characters are a little lackluster, but I suppose Grocket, Colossus and Loki could do well together…

[Philly79]

Any confirmation on how many days this event is?

[mags1587]

It’s a 7 day event.

[jffdougan]

Finally have the whole thing up. Posting here to bump to the top, in case.

[mags1587]

Just an FYI, there’s a 1500-ISO reward node in each sub-event, unlocked after you play all the non-essential nodes. It’s worth it to join and play through the sub once just to unlock that even if you don’t care about rewards.

[over_clocked]

Not to mention that just a full clear + two-three nodes on top grant top 300 for the sub, and t300 is an event token.

[puppychow]

considering that Jean Grey is an essential, and not many of the player base have her, I don’t think you could count on most players being able to do a full clear.

On the other hand those who did grind to get her may be a bit burnt out and not that interested in the prizes this time, so it might even out.

i burned out on the JG event, so taking this one light.. didn’t even enter until this morning.. first clear.. #41.. how? lol, bracket not even close to full.. just doing the subs for the big iso rewards.

[system]

I actually joined this on on day 1. Will be doing lazy clears to hopefully get a lucky pulls from a sub token.

easy…marc

[Blahahah]

I’m thinking some of the community are shriveled up husks right now or something, that or I dropped into a nice empty bracket.
Before in Hulk I did 2 full clears on the first part and only managed to break top 300 by that point.

This time around I did 1 clear and no bonus, and I’m sitting pretty decently high. I might even dust off that old 2* torch to squeeze into the top bits.

[system]

I doubt Ill get another top 2 finish like I did last time in Brotherhood for Carnage, (and I blame that one because the iOS crowd got handicapped by a bug) , but I can use doom covers easily, and my roster is in pretty good shape for this one.

[system]

We are also now confirmed that next event is Deadpool vs MPQ and will be Kingpin, Doom, and Ares essentials, thanks to the announcement that 4
deadpool would be coming 8/6/15 in that event.

finished first sub on my stream zzzzzz

I am on ISO-8 Lab: Nigeria and it looks to me like there is a node connected to ISO-8 Lab: Nigeria VII that is not “activating” for me. Am I missing something? It’s above and slightly to the left. Is that just graphics, and not a node?

There was a node like that on the main map last time this event ran.
