    Actually, for us newbies who still have prologue levels yet to beat, now is a great time to do so: the first time you beat a node in the story you get a 200 ISO bonus, which has been doubled to 400.

    Unfortunately there seems to be a bug, though, in that normal rewards are not doubled (so you'll still get the normal 200/100 ISO or whatever). The 20 ISO pity prize was doubled to 40, though.

    Odd, the rewards are definitely doubled for me. I spent a good bit of Saturday farming 1000-iso drops.

    Next PVE is Venom Heroic. Just saw it in the Recruit Tokens Page

    2.5 day event. GSBW, Beast, Mohawk, 2* Cap, Tiny Thor, and mHawkeye are heroes we can use (based on recruit token odds)
    Hmm.. I can only use GSBW and tThor

    That's ... 14.4k ISO per hour! Score!

    I don't think there will be another PVE based on the announcement. The winning PVE was Deadpool.

    That, quite frankly, sucks. PVE and PVP should always happen concurrently - get the best of both worlds and let people pick and choose.

    Plus, for those of us with busy work weeks, PVE is a lot less stressful for grinding and getting some time in, and getting moderate awards. I hate it when they take big chunks of time off of PVE. It shows how much they really care about that side of things...

    EDIT: If there is a Venom Heroic coming (didn't we JUST have that???), never mind. I'll take Heroic over nothing.

    Heroic Venom. JFC.

    Edit: and no anniversary tokens for this one either! Plus his best ability is top 10 in an event with insane rubberband importance. Come the hell on, D3.

    There are lightning rounds with Lady Thor at some point too, right?

    The way I understood the FemThor LR was only a few rounds on Thursday. Who the tinykitty knows!

    Not until the 17th. I think that day is when they'll be letting us try out Goddess of Thunder. Until then, we get a giant middle finger known as Venom Heroic...oh and another giant middle finger with the worst roster for a heroic ever! :middlefinger:
  • I hope there will be a fourth event or a simulator for this anniversary, otherwize it's pretty impossible to get the token pack... icon_e_sad.gif

    Anniversary has gone from riches to Rags for me - that robot Thor is definitely a party pooper

    Go X-men, Shield, 5 Deadly Venom's and the other top 10 alliances!! I believe in you to drive up the scores for us. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Make Sure you win the end of season 10 pack as well so I might be able to get 1!!!
  • I mean :
    - if you don't play since the beginning
    or
    - if you don't use real money

    Then I don't see how it can really be possible to reach it icon_e_surprised.gif
  • Something I realized was the Alliance reward below Top 100 is potentially better than a lone Dino cover. 3 Anniversary Tokens could end up more rewarding given the high pull rate for 3* characters.

    That makes me feel a little better... though not much since between all the Anniversary Tokens I've opened so far, most have been 2*, and the only 3 that didn't gave me a 3* I've already got maxed in that color or a 14th cover in a color I didn't want (Blue Psylocke.)

    Perhaps the game will stop teasing me if I keep buying one each day too.

    Definitely not.

    I've pulled two Dinos and a usable 3* (admittedly, it was Beast) from anniversary tokens, but every Daily Deal I've bought has been a 2*.

    I'm a 300-day player with a maxed Patch and Punisher and I reached the highest point totals I ever have in the last two events, winning one. My score combined for those two events? 1632. So, maybe I can hope for a purple Dino, but tinybabykitty, doing 3 events of 1000 each seems impossible. Every time I reach around 800 I repeatedly get attacked for 40+ points. It's too stressful and counterproductive to keep playing. Plus I spent 225 HP on shields for (ugh) Ragnarok. I guess I should've made room in my roster for Juggernaut...

    Man, you must be in some sharded safe haven. I made it to 8-900 something and that was good enough for top 25 in both the events...not terrible but not even close for top 5 (1200+ both times for that). Wish you could send an invite for the brackets you get in. icon_e_wink.gif

    I was over 1300 just in the Deadpool PVP, and that was good for 6th or 7th.
