Thanks! Is it normal for them to communicate through Facebook first?

No, I think they normally post on the unofficial Reddit first.

(Seriously. The offical forum is always the last to know.)

Don't join late?

I remember back when the first Civil War was running how everyone figured out how to make it on to make sure we could clear as fully on both sides as possible. That was truly the most fun I've ever had in a boss event.

I joined 16 minutes after the event started because I had a work meeting. Is your argument really that I should have ignored work to join a game?

EDIT: and my alliance had already finished all 8 rounds. So I have no alliance rewards.

@entrailbucket said:
Why would anyone miss out? Join now, and if your alliance already finished, you'll get every alliance reward at the next reset. I'm pretty sure that's always how this has worked...

No one has confirmed that this will actually happen. Until a dev confirms this, it’s just a rumor.

Annddddd no rewards for my alliance mates that missed out. That sucks.

Do they get all the previous round rewards if they complete a boss fight? I really thought there was a way to do this before, but maybe I was wrong.

Or maybe there was a way to do it before and they've broken it!

Demiurge used to have a hamster(?) running the show. I wonder what animal BCS brought in? It got to be much bigger than a hamster because the impact it causes is big. Guinea Pig? Beaver? Capybara?

Problem is, I have folks in my alliance family who can’t “participate in the event like normal” and are essentially locked out due to difficulty.

I hope someone let them know on their LiveJournal or wherever they are posting now.

Why not just restart it with the proper points for progression or run a different boss event until they can figure out how they broke this one?

It's the Age of Apocalypse indeed. Maybe this is one of Moira Mactaggert's ten lives.

Hahaha, livejournal. Man I’m old…

BCS is typically good at compensations.

I want to say both my accounts have hit round 8 and have gotten the alliance Kang cover. This is probably the first and last time I finish a boss event with casual alliance in under 24 hours.

This is a real issue since Apoc heals up every round, underleveled rosters will not be able to progress the event at anywhere near a normal pace. They will only get points for side nodes, but I'm sure many will just quit becuase they constantly wipe to Apoc.

That's true, but one of the best apoc teams is teenjean/4clops/im40. They're pretty low level characters so anyone who's in 4star land could be fine.

Maybe morbius, valkyrie, Nico also?

It's in the name... Broken. I joined late, now I can't get the Kang cover; personal or alliance reward.

HoundofShadow

Has everyone forgotten retreating after damaging boss still earn you point? Give them some 5* teamup to deal heavy damage and retreat if they can't down them.

It suddenly occurred to me that we could organize some kind of betting event.
We could bet if an incoming event will be bugged or not.
And BCS could be allowed to bet in here since they actually can't know if effectively the event will be broken.
It could be fun.

Nobody would bet on it running smoothly.

Depends on the odds. I sometimes like a longshot.

Of all the options I was expecting to wake up to, abandoned as broken wasn't top of the list! So we're just writing this one off, eh?

The Forum seems calm. Too calm.

I had better gets me some popcorn Imma thinking.

Bowgentle

I think most of the forum is like "got mine, don't care".
Me I'm waiting to see if we get to double dip, if not, I'll live.
Now if I had joined late, it'd be pitchfork time!

2nd event this happen no wonder why people leaving

Who's leaving?
Game seems healthy enough.

One very very easy Kang cover received, hopefully come 5pm I can bag the other one. Those who didn't get anything bound to get some compensation.

Super cute shark maybe incoming?

Changes to PvP incoming.

Hilarious breakages! Characters all borked! Absolute chaos!

Things haven't been this much fun in ages!
