Where is The Gauntlet?

And where are Heroics?

Admittedly traditional Gauntlet rewards are beyond tinykitty and Gauntlet runs are frightful resource droughts, but surely we’re due for another one by now?

Would also love the old restricted roster heroics back - I’d pay a hp entry fee to open one (or a Gauntlet) to play separate from competitive pve for the challenge and diversity.

Pretty please?

Boo to Gauntlet, but yeah, where are the Heroics? And if you. Ring them back, bring back the real Heroics, not the stupid unrestricted roster ones.

Boo heroics. I’d be Ok with Gauntlet though. If nothing else it’s a nice break from the PvE grind.

If they bring the Gauntlet back under the NEW PVE structure then Hooray! But Gauntlet scaled to your roster? No thanks. Those enemy teams were flat out evil.

Love the Gauntlet (one of my favorite PvE events) although they do need to have their prize structures updated. I have also been feeling like it has been too long since we’ve had one.

Hate the Gauntlet and I like the concept of Heroics but haven’t missed it for even one second.

Wouldn’t be opposed to a return to character restrictions, though, so we don’t get anymore Moonstone mirror matches in PvE.

I’d be happy with a gauntlet week soon

We’ve not had civil war for a while now or galactus hungers would like another crack at that now that I have a good 4* roster

I hope they are turning it into Season-based PvE event similar to S.H.I.E.L.D :smiley:

I don’t want to see the gauntlet purely because I don’t want to see 100 threads whining about how it’s too hard, the rewards aren’t good enough, node X is unfair, et cetera ad infinitum.

Imagine if it was possible to run Gauntlet and Boss Rush at the same time… :o

What’s really funny about that is the name of the event implies difficulty- The Gauntlet. Yet people still complain about the difficulty… I like the event, but not as the main PVE for the week. If they could run it next to regular events I would be very happy with that. The resources it provides are just not there, but I like gauging how I’ve progressed my roster. First run, I couldn’t finish the second set. Next time, couldn’t finish the third. The 3rd run I finished everything but just once. The 4th and last time it has ran in my time in the game I finished the whole thing 3 times!!

EDIT: Forgot the OP mentioned Heroics too. I would love to see restricted rosters back!! I think it adds a little puzzle to the mPq experience. Maybe not necessarily the heroic events, I am tired of seeing Daken, Moonstone, Yelena, Jugg, etc… But, maybe, every month or few, run an event with the roster restrictions

Actually, I’ve been thinking about a PVE season so I would love to have things in it like the gauntlet or a 20 round wave mission survival mode. Maybe a challenge mode like beating enemies under certain conditions like abilities are disabled or 3 on 1 handicap matches. Timed trial mode. Lots of fun stuff to do outside of what we have now which is just ddq, the pve event, the pvp event, shield sim and on occasion a lightning round.

I want gauntlet, but pass on Heroics.

I’m with everyone that wants the prizes to be better in the gauntlet mode.

All of the heroic pves were against dark Avengers. Just constantly fighting bullseye, Daken, Moonstone, Yelena, Venom, and Rags.

No thank you, I’ve fought them for the last 3 years and I am sick of it. Keep them rare.

As for the Gauntlet, bring it back, sure, but for the sake of all small felines update the prizes. One 4* for clearing it isn’t sufficient anymore. And run it in tandem with regular PvE so we have something to do for the 7 days it runs for.

I’m sure they are going to listen and give us Gauntlet with Heroics mechanics built in. The prizes will be good, but to be a real gauntlet they will put up the best teams the community has been using or at least boosted characters with heavy goon feeders that will make them fire cheap and nasty powers every other turn and then restrict the player character pools to just the worse characters in the meta and descaling of characters rather than boosting them. Just because the community asked for it of course :slight_smile:

My primary issue is that sans Heroics, we’re repeating the same ~events over and over again. And most of the against the same band of opponents. After a year and a half, I am SO TIRED of some of these events. And opponents. I would like some variation. I don’t know that I really want Heroics back now that I’ve progressed enough to really have favorite well-built characters.

But Strange Sights and The Gauntlet and anything else that doesn’t feel like a treadmill of the same-old same-old are refreshing. Except The Hulk. As a 3-Day event, great. As a 7-Day event that thing is the sloggiest slog of healthpack chew toys. Oh, wait. Most of that was the same opponents too. NM. Carry on…

ETA: Deadpool vs MQP used to fit the category of refreshing too, but it’s cycling again so fast now that I’m getting bored with that too.

Get used to it, they only have so many events…

The last thing we need is more events fighting the Dark Avengers over and over again

Well yeah. Right NOW they do. But they can add more… hint mc hinty hint hint.

I’d be perfectly fine if they brought the gauntlet back, with no updates to rewards, if they run it concurrently with other PvEs. The gauntlet is great as an event that you can do as you want, but overall it’s a dip in iso and other resources. But as side event? It’d be great!
