Boss event Wednesday to Sunday?
That’s a first.
To ensure overlap with Webbed Wonder? :rofl:

Also, no Bagman PVP?

3

Thought I fixed that when I fixed the weird 3 day Enemy of the State that’s now placeholder. Boss Event is Thursday as per normal.

4

Ha, thank you :slight_smile:

5

Wasn’t Havok & Big Wheel already god boosted recently?

6

@IceIX, Who’s the 5-star Essential for Infinite Pursuit? Thanks!

7

There’s a day off between Strange Sights and Lost in Time the week of the Boss Event. The same thing happened this week before the Boss Event. Is this intentional? Should we expect a day off from PvE on the week of Boss Events going forward?

8

@IceIX is the PvE on 4/2 Fight For Wakanda (picture) or Honor Among Thieves (written)?

9

Anyone recognize what the graphic on the right side of the calendar might represent?

10

A stomach digesting tiles?

11

Confirmed Honor Among Thieves, updated image.

It’ll be Crystal.

12

ok, IT’S JEFF!

:index_pointing_up: great first post!

14

As always, thanks for this. Is it possible to add the 2star required characters for the PVE events? Appreciate it.

15

I noticed this too, so going to @IceIX so he’ll see, in case they can fix it since it’s still a month away (unless it’s just a picture inaccuracy).

Double checked and confirmed those dates are correct. I’ll bring up the gap though, with the Boss Event overlapping Lost In Time a bit it does look like there’s room to shift things back there though and cover the gap.

Can do!

17

@IceIX - There’s a full day overlap between The Hunt and Infinite Pursuit. Intentional? Maybe Infinite Pursuit should be the 3 day version? (Or vice versa, because… The Hunt)

18

3/30 - 4/6 NEW
5-Star: Adam Warlock, Carnage (Prophet), Knull, Shang-Chi

Adam Warlock/Carnage is back. It was a pain facing them back then. SC is here as well. And Knull.

4/6 - 4/13 NEW
5-Star: Big Wheel, Doctor Doom, Havok, Spider-Man

This list is pretty uninteresting. With three of them having colours overlap not in particular order red/green/blue.

19

Oh, I have no idea who or what that is but I definitely want it to be the next 5*!!!

20

That looks extremely cute.
Do want!
