Rewards for current PVE are generally the essential characters for the next PVE. This is one of the big complaints of the community. If you miss a release PVE or miss a cover from said PVE you’ll do poorly in the next one.
That is very true, I missed out on the Vision reward as I did not obtain any HB covers from the Ultron event and thusly did poorly in that event (I don’t think I bothered at all for that one)
Although it could be a positive sign that they have started to have the essentials as 1 x 2*, 1 x 3* and 1 x 4* so even if you missed the last release you can still compete in that PVE (currently I am 3rd overall in the Heroic DA with about 9hrs left, all without the Vision for the first 2 subs - I got the progression award for Vision with about an hour left on the Sub, thought about tackling the node and saw that it was a hood with 2 feeder goons and thought…nope, nope nope, I will not waste 3 health packs on that one)
Thick as thieves rewarded 4Thor and 2Daken instead of IMHB and 2Thor.
We will see if the current pattern holds up for future pve’s, but i would’nt necessarily count on XF and mnmags as essentials for the next pve. No question about the last 3 (or 2*, 4* if he was a new release) being essential though. This has always been the case.
Imagine D3 would hire some kind of community manager, who would talk with us about this kind of stuff.
