The Hulk has been run since the standardization to 24-hour subs, but the format guide doesn’t seem to have a summary. There is a 1-time reward of a Hulk Green about halfway through.

[Cymmina]

The alliance reward for Jean Grey should be purple, not yellow.

Also, insert obligatory complaint here about 7-day slogfest for another new character. Are we there yet?

[system]

I was wondering what the catch was but yeah, now I see. 7 days of this.

[system]

7 days? Yeah, how about no. See you on next week’s Jean Grey Lottery when I enter just day before the end. If I land in an empty bracket then great. Otherwise no gain but no pain either.

In a shocking turn of events, the one cover everyone wants to have at 5, her passive, is the reward for t10.

Can we just stop pretending that this is random since it happens EVERY time?

I’m guessing the 1k colour will be green.

I was just going to say how nice it was that blue was the top reward since it looks like a 5/3/5 build will work best. Obviously YMMV though…

Hmm. I always think passives are an auto max and didn’t look at how the skill scales. You may have a point

[Malcrof]

i need iso.. so i will play all 7 days .. but not going to go as hardcore as i did in EoTS.. i don’t have it in my right now.. if i snag a t100 ..good, if not, not going to mourn her.

[Cabol]

I think we’re missing something far more important about this event guys…

for the first time in what seems since the event was first introduced, The Hulk is a boosted character in his own event :]

I thought Hulk was always boosted for the second half of the event after he sided with us.

I think it’s only for a specific node or two, not for the whole event

[Quebbster]

I think Hulk was essential on at least the second run of the event. Having Hulkbuster required is very fitting though.

[slidecage]

anyone remember the time the stages are

24 hours or 48s

[hex706f726368]

First sub is 24 hours

[Arimis_Thorn]

I just cleared the first sub and see the top 10+ folks at more points than the clear is worth. Is there any value whatsoever to double tapping early? Is it just for a scarecrow effect? “Hey look at me! I’ve got twice your score! You’ll never catch up now! Might as well quit!” Is that the rationale behind it?

1. not everyone understands how the points work
2. its Friday night and if you have a big night planned, you might not want to worry about a clear when you get home from a night out.

I agree you always see those that sprint out of the gate and they are never there at the end.

Fair enough

[PuceMoose]

Any word on the essential characters for this one? Are they doing the 2/3/4 star essential thing again?

@Puce Moose

Essentials are:

Hulkbuster
Psylocke
Modern Hawkeye

So yes, 2/3/4.

[system]

Yay! What an awesome event to completely ignore! I don’t have any of the essentials, I don’t care about Teen Grey and I don’t even need Grocket or Hulk. 7 days off! I love this event, I really do.
Good luck to everyone who’s grinding out there, though.
