    Honour Among Thieves

    Honor Among Thieves because it’s nothing but Mindless ones and Symboites.

    I have to go with the 7 day Hulk one. Fortunately it hasn’t seen the light of day for a long time. It was just boringly repetitive.

    The Hunt

    I'm pretty sure it's the Hunt I dislike anyway...I always forget until I need to play it again.

    The one where you literally need to hunt the next node because nothing makes sense or is in any kind of order.

    You do a trivial node with your trivial node team, the next node is.... Not a trivial, it's a one time node thrown in to interrupt your rhythm and force you to change your team for optimal play.... Then the next node is back to trivial... Then several nodes pop up, but you don't know which are the "play 3-4 times" nodes and which are the "only need one play" nodes...

    I prefer starting with higher point nodes where possible then working back to easier nodes. One event makes it impossible.

    Yeah, that's the Hunt.

    One might be tempted to describe it as a "puzzle" of sorts.....

    Of course you can learn the pattern and people have posted images they made of the order, etc etc.

    Is it annoying? A bit. It stands out more now as we have been given tools (saved teams, turn 0 teams, supports etc) to speed through so much of the content.

    If you have a 4-5 jugg and Aunt May and namor odds are you can clear the one-time nodes as quickly as you can clear the trivial so you can just use that team if you want through unlocking the various non-essential nodes. Or some other strong team that clears hard nodes with ease.

    It spoils the strategy of "unlock hardest node fast, clear it, work your way down" etc and things, but also it's a game we've been playing for years, and some minor reward shift down in one event because you messed up (if you do and miss your preferred placement target) will matter not at all when your roster is 371 characters plus all the dupes and ascended etc.

    I'm not here for strategies and patterns. I'm here to make colored shapes go crash and pow with all the Marvel characters!

    Since at least 80% of the playerbase already hate me and would hit and run me if they saw me walking the streets , I can be honest

    Give me Enemy of the State

    You don’t like Enemy of the State? It is way too long.

    I doubt though that 80% of the player base even know who you are?

    Aw damn, misread it, thought the question was the MOST favorite pve, which would be EotS, least is HoD, the only one where after 11 years of MPQ I still wreck my final grind

    I’m surprised nobody seems to hate Cosmic chaos, that has a couple of awful nodes on I seem to remember with Kitty and R4G?

    This was tough because I hate Honor Among Thieves and Cosmic Chaos both pretty equally. Broke the tie between the two with HaT because I seem to miss at least one node every time that one runs to the point where I now give myself an extra 5 minutes for each sub. Means I can never get a top 10 in it but at least I don't miss anymore.

    I love the 2 day events. Always nice to get a day off in PvE so DP vs MPQ is my favorite event.

    Agree on the 2 day events. The breathers they provide drive me to actually try and play optimally sometimes.

    they need to create a separate page or button to view/review the story.....
    I mean, story is not bad. Don't have any complain about that. but who the hell see story that everybody skip to get points as fast as they can....
    Sun and Hulk story was not bad too
