Other notes:
Nodes on an 8 hour refresh timer.
Subs are overlapping. Upcoming subs are greyed out, and have a countdown timer until that sub opens.

I think they forgot to update the rewarda on this one… LazyThor is still vaulted.

That surprised me too. I’ll keep an eye out for any updates to the rewards. Otherwise, lots of happy transitioners!

I thought he was just vaulted for Season IX?

got them all. Man i really want that thor

Nope, he’s still vaulted, as far as we know.

Pretty weird, but as someone in need of LThor covers I’m happy.

Yeah, I hope they don’t change it to someone else.

What’s the hunt like? (assuming it’s a repeat). I just started in November.

Who do you fight? Daken, FBW, Ares, venom, jugg, rinse/repeat ad nauseam?

Pretty much. This is the third or fourth run of The Hunt, as far as I can recall.

Edit: Refer to Quebbster’s post below mine. Much more helpful that what I could remember about it.

The usual gang of Dark Avengers. It has three different subs that rotate - Alaska, Florida and Savage Land - but while two subs are frequently open simultaneously they never close at the same time. From the length of it, it looks like we’ll play each sub twice.

Let me bring up my handy copy of the PvE Format Guide here…

5.5 days length this time. I wonder how the sub length will change, and if every sub will end at the same time of day (hopefully!).

Overlapping subs seems an odd format to choose to test the new refresh times.

I guess it potentially allows people to stagger their playtimes, so they’re not just restricted to 8 hour clears, since the subs start at overlapping different times?

Yes, but it seems to me that’s exactly why it’s an odd choice for a test. It’s not “pure.” People might love it here because they can actually play more often due to the overlaps, but events that are linear…

You’re not kidding!

3* Thor is arguably the best 3* in the game, and easily the most attainable of any of the top 3-5 characters (since no transitioner can hope for a 4* other than with luck). Wouldn’t be surprised to see this one get heavy play, even without a new character, since just about any new character isn’t actually as useful as 3* Thor!

Honestly though, this event is going to be more about “who can best guess how the new 8 hr refreshes work most optimally” than anything else.

Sidenote: I wonder if 3* Thor will be a possible reward from the tokens from this event? Or, since he’ll be featured for the next event (which is also likely yet another new character), will he be a possible reward from those? Wondering because he’s supposedly otherwise vaulted, as others have mentioned.

I only need one yellow Thor cover, so naturtally that’s the hardest one to obtain =/

Still, at least I can get a red if I fail that and start levelling him up to 166.

ok so “we want you to be able to sleep” but we are going to do 8 hour refreshes mixed in with 12 hour staggered starts - guaranteeing that the top guilds will all have to be on a 4 hour refresh. Did you guys think about how those two sentences don’t go together?

i am really excited about the lazy thor covers, am i right in assuming its going to be ultra competitive due to the 8 hour refresh time?

That is what the armchair generals are predicting. We shall see.
