I’ve been missing the event threads recently, so I figured why not make one of my own. Mostly copypasted and manually updated, let me know if you spot any errors.

3

Thanks for this!

4

This time there are command points as additional prizes in the sub events. Top 10 in sub will get 1 cp and top 2 gets 2. Also there are nodes in subs that will give cp. In the fist sub Kingpin essential and one of hard nodes have a chance to give 1 cp each.

5

Cool. More reason to push for top 10 I suppose. I couldn’t really justify that effort for merely 50 extra HP.

6

Thanks, I was wondering how CP would be worked in, I didn’t see them on the main rewards list. I’m not doing any more 7 day PVE grinds for legendaries (none of them have worked out for me in those events) but those nodes sound like a harmless “get in, get out” reward each day. I’m not going to worry about the placement.

7

quite possibly the worst set of essential characters i’ve seen in a very long time.

and i’ll play just for the CP and stop. Node only, not sub reward. Ain’t nobody got time fo’ t10

8

The villains don’t get to come out and play much as essentials. It was only a matter of time before we got a weak set.

9

kp and 2daken are faaaaarrrrrr from bad. yes, rags is not great, but the other 2 are good characters. my daken will only have 1 cover, so mine will suck, but the character is not bad at all, especially boosted.

10

Let’s do an event analysis:

1 week
missing CP
Legendary repeated token
Beast and Ragnarok already have maximized
Green Jean Grey is interesting but I have to grind very all seven days and not sure I’ll get the cover.

Summary: Skip the event.

11

I can already see the wave of 20 iso storming down upon me trying to get that 1 command point.

12

KP + XDP sounds good to me…

13

Anyone else seeing end times that don’t make sense with the start times? My normal time slot says that it ends at 10:00pm, but it starts at 4:00pm.

14

D3’s typical tight-fistedness at work, I see.

15

Anyone know if the ‘Enter the Dark Avengers’ and ‘Rooftop Brawl’ loaner nodes on the main map stay throughout or get replaced with the next sub?

16

The nodes stays on.

17

I did 15 clears of the Punisher node. There is an irony there.

18

I got the command point from the Punisher node on the first try. No luck with Kingpin so far though.
It’s nice that the command point shows a gold screen though.

19

Not that it’s a difficult-looking node, but it’s a little annoying that you still have to face the Dark Avengers in the KP essential in the second sub. This should be one of the few events you can take a break from those idiots.

Oh well, may that be the worst things that happens to me today… icon_e_smile.gif

20

question - essential for the event is daken but a repeatable node on the main event page has a 2bullseye in it. I have my 1 cover bullseye from the last pve event but need that slot for daken. do I need a bullseye for that node 2, meaning 2 2* essentials basically? same for 3daken but I have him, just not all the 2*s.
