Is this a standard 3.5 day boss mission, with windows opening every 8 hours, and a steep jump in scaling after 24 hours?

3

Copy and Paste from my thread earlier since 4 out of 5 of my concerns/questions still unanswered.

@Brigby

My main concerns/questions are

  1. Do the bosses in each wave have the usual Lv for each round or do they get lowered like wave nodes in PvE ?

  2. Do the bosses still have all 6 colors as strongest color ?

  3. Will we see the stats of the boss before the event ?

  4. Are there any balancing tweaks to Green Goblin ?
    Not knowing any answers of the above questions together with the vague descriptions about each boss makes me wants to dial myself down to play casually now.

4

Really disappointed that the 4* reward is carol and not a vaulted character.

I shouldn’t have expected anything less though, you guys try as hard as you can to avoid giving out vaulted characters at all costs.

5

Was looking forward to a vaulted character since boss events are usually vaulted rewards

6

and of course its not a 5* cover but a token… oh well

7

No Miles or Spider-Gwen for rewards? Bummer.

And of course, that means missing out on the C&D yellow that would have come with progression in a normal event. Double bummer.

I guess champ levels for DP and C4rol never really hurt though.

8

Boss battles where the boss can go invisible or airborne? Depending on how often they’re able to do it, that could be super annoying.

9

I’m sure the bosses are going to not be fun to fight but hey at least I get some covers for my girl Carol…

10

@Brigby I’m assuming those bosses are immune to stun? Would be nice to get some confirmation on this. Thanks in advance!

Oh, and getting a Black Widow (original) Green cover at 112.000 points? That would be special indeed. More special than a new 5* I wager… :wink:

11

I assume we’ll see the de facto 24 hour scaling jump?

PS, has this event been TESTED with a 5 star roster?

12

It’s the cover that reinstates her True Healing.

13

From the mention of extra damage from yellow matches for Sandman, and matching tentacle tiles for Oct, it sounds like they’re really trying for a puzzle element for each boss. The invisible and airborne mechanics probably are paired with some way around it for Venom and Vulture.
The rewards suggest a true alliance event with a cumulative score rather than individual round advancement this time, so there should also be no scaling of the bosses, which should be a big relief to tier 5 players in the later rounds. Not listing 2 round reward lists is a little confusing considering 2 boss missions. I suppose that must mean we just decide which 3 bosses to face and the rounds advance regardless? I guess it’ll be nice to make the choice, so long as the bosses involved are previewed instead of being surprise silhouettes. Unless… 3 associated sub-missions. We aren’t really getting 4~3 chances on each boss mission, are we?

14

So every black widow except five star is boosted?

15

Really need to know something about scaling of both boss missions and the supporting character missions.

16

I find it weird that there are more 5* boosted than 4*. Sure one is brand new for this event, but still.

17

Single latest 4* boosted (and not a good one), a bunch of 5* boosted, so 5* players are given onother advantage.

So far almost everything sounds bad.

18

Every cover reward is useless to me. Is it really worth playing this event just to throw away the covers?

Its ridiculous that the vaulted characters aren’t used as rewards now. We already have far too many ways to earn the special 12. This game is really becoming boring.

19

Man, they really need to upgrade rewards. A little over 2k iso for progression in a 3.5 day event is just bad.

20

Why is everyone complaining about champ levels for the best 4star? Tough crowd.
