Inspired by @bluewolf thread I figured maybe we can give the Devs some feedback about which Story Events we are so thoroughly sick of playing that they can retire once we (hopefully) get new Story events with the new engine.

Only room for 9 options on the poll so if your personal least favourite isn't listed feel free to share.

    Oh you really need to put Simulator on here, I think everybody hates that one.

    Simulator, without a shadow of a doubt.

    I know Simulator is hated but...

    I couldn't put Simulator on because I was the one who asked the Devs in the Q&A why we weren't getting it and could we have it back...so uhm...yeah...sorry everybody...

    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?

    What's wrong with simulator? It's the only story that ever gets new characters added to it. But when is the last time that happened? I truly haven't been paying attention, maybe that hasn't been true for years?

    I put DP v MPQ for the back to back 2-day nodes.

    Thank you! That was a major consideration in my asking it run again!

    Everybody hates simulator because it has very few goons and includes some of the more powerful characters, instead of wall-to-wall Hammer guys and Dark Avengers.

    Not sure it has anything as hard as Cosmic Chaos though?

    Deadpool vs MPQ

    I'm a big fan of simulator for the same reasons as the others.

    Dp v mpq with back to back 48 hr nodes is just the worst. And any other 4 day event with 4 nodes switched to 3 nodes in 4 days, I curse you as well.

    I'm not sure. I don't find any of them to be hard (or even particularly interesting!) but newer or weaker players really struggle with Simulator, to the point where player counts are noticeably lower.

    It's worth noting that many players only play PvE, and for years, 3* Dr Strange was the most used character in the game. 5* Strange won so many "fan favorite" polls that he became a meme!

    If you're playing a lower CL and 3* Dr Strange passively murders all the goons, then having an event that's only tile movers is probably quite a big jump in difficulty.

    Deadpool vs MPQ

    I have a noob story regarding Simulator. I had finally moved from cl9 to 10 and simulator was the next event up. Started with the 5*, then 4*, then 3*. Completely forgot that there's the boss node and in cl10 there is no longer the 2*. So I roll into the boss node and get absolutely wrecked. Huge health pools, dealt massive damage, and I was pretty confused. Noticed the green around the node and it clicked. I still laugh at myself whenever simulator rolls back around.

    Tied between Deadpool vs. MPQ (back to back 48 hour nodes) and The Hunt (easy to lose track of which node to hit next in Florida).

    Deadpool v MPQ the early leader, have to say I am surprised.

    Too funny. When I stepped up to CL10 for the 1st time I found the 5E node way more difficult than the Challenge node but I think my 1st time in CL10 was Hearts of Darkness with the Royal Family in the 5E node. I'd say in about half the PvE events the 5E node is worse than the Challenge Node due to being limited to only 2 characters (esp when it's an older 5 that's the required).

    My guess is that it's half because it lacks goons, and half because 48hr subs disrupt people's routines.

    The Hunt

    I really like DP v MPQ. I seem to do better than other events. Similarly with Venom Bomb. I'm not a fan of Simulator, but I do like it more than I used to, now that I have a roster that is more up to the job. I picked the Hunt just because I must have played it well over 100 times and I do a little internal groan when I see it in preview.

    Honour Among Thieves

    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.
