Upcoming Boss Event

On a more positive note: https://news.marvel.com/games/67297/spider-man-homecoming-arrives-marvel-games/

Let the speculation on the details begin. Is this going to be a Civil War type event (I’m guessing not, but I’m not sure how a boss event will feature three bosses)? Will each of the two missions feature three members of the Sinister Six for a total of six or will they each feature the same three (Ock, Sandman, Vulture)? Are they going to just repeat the event on the 24th (have they ever repeated a boss event within a month)? Is that a 5* Spidey on the 6th and a 4* Vulty on the 13th (that’s what I’m guessing)?

And the big one (for me) - will the boss event(s) offer vaulted 4* covers as prizes and if so, how many (six per event or three)?

I think it is 4* spiderman and 5* vulture based on the order

BOSS RUSH 2 STYLE. That’s how!

Thanks. I’ve only been playing since November, so I’ve never actually played a boss rush (unless they had one and I don’t remember it). I’ll have to do a search and see how they work.

5

Sorry, I didn’t know you were new. That’s actually a joke. The original Boss Rush didn’t really work so well and we haven’t seen it since. If you can dig up the threads (if they moved over from the old forum) you’ll get an idea of what happened.

6

Despite how bad the first one was they did claim it was going to be reworked. I think this is the most likely place if it’s really going to have multiple bosses.

7

My money would actually be on boss rush take 2…

Since, in the intervening time since the last boss event, the forums have become a friendlier place and the developer has done much to increase their credibility, I’m sure it’ll be bug free and well received.

Sounds like a mix of Civil War and Boss Rush.

Civil War, because there are two “sides” (could just be two different Boss Nodes but “one” event, like Ultron/Galactus, except you get to pick which three you fight).

Boss Rush because you’ll be fighting teams of 3 (Doc Ock, Sandman, Vulture, Goblin, Venom, Carnage, MPQ will totally have it’s own unique Sinister Six roster, because those are the villains we have available). But I bet it’ll be the same teams, to simplify things a little from Boss Rush. Should make it easier to balance.

We’ll get the same boss event twice. Boss on the 6th, Vulture on the 13th, Boss on the… 24th? That might be a typo. “Should” be the 20th, but maybe they’re running it at a different time of week to let people with different schedules have a shot? Who knows. But yeah, they ALWAYS repeat boss events with a week between when they’re new (except for maybe Thanos?) One lets us work out the kinks (players figure patterns, devs tweak what isn’t balanced right), then we go full force the second time around.

Rewards will depend on exact structure. Full Civil War with two separate paths, that means two 4s. If it’s just Boss Rush with two different boss nodes to pick, that would probably mean one progression, and thus one 4. Probably a 5* Spidey token at the end.

Speaking of, Spidey and Vulture, Vulture gets a PVP, Spidey doesn’t. That implies Spidey is a 5*, Vulture is a 4*. But with Doc Ock (5*) and Sandman (4*), the 5/4/4 pattern they’ve held for… well I don’t remember the last time it was broken, at least, but that pattern says the next character should be a 4*. Which isn’t the case if we get a 5* Spidey for the movie (I really want a 4* Peter Parker, so the character is usable at that tier, finally, but the business move says to go for the 5* because Spider-Man is like the most profitable superhero character on the planet)

You tinykitty near made me spit my drink out. That’s a phenomenal response! ROFL.

Pretty much what I thought, I could see the last member being Carnage or Kingpin though. My bet’s still on Carnage though.

I’d bet on other way around. Vulture’s getting a PvP, we don’t have 5* PvP.

The above makes no sense and is the reason everyone is so mad about threads moving.

In the mods words "We are reopening this thread as a main hub for discussion" See that word discussion? Your word, not mine, not any other posters, its the mods word. If this is a discussion it shouldn’t be moved to the event thread! Since its a DISCUSSION it should go in general discussion.

All those other groups like events and characters they are for data. If I want to know about the event particulars I would go to the event thread. There I should see the points and rewards and the powered up characters for three event. But that’s not where it should get discussed. It should get discussed in the discussion section!

That’s the whole problem with moving threads in a nutshell. Discussing should be for discussion and all the rest is data.

14

wouldn’t this mean there’s going to be two 5* Spidermen with the Black Suit Spiderman 5*?

what if they swerve us and give us 3* Ben Riley? unlikely but still, maybe they want to expand the 3* roster for pragmatic reasons

15

No, the new character will be 5 star Aunt May (hot)

16

No. Sexy Aunt May is just wrong.

17

But it’s true. Marisa Tomei IS hot.

18

Tell that to Tony Stark…

19

all I can ever think about when y’all talk about “sexy aunt may” is that old comic where Doc Ock almost married Aunt May and Peter could only shake his fist in horror and anger at them.

Also I don’t think it’s going to be Spiderman 2099 because the character poll had him listed as one of the options.
