**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

I’m old so my memory is probably wrong, but iirc this quest was long, really long 🤔
These rewards are arguably better than what you get in act 5, something tells me this is going to make the monthly UC Quests feel like easy mode and be more on par with LOL difficulty.
I know, but it’d be nice to do a quest in the ultron event, then maybe do a quest in story mode then jump to monthly eq, so I’d be doing a little bit of everything each day, but that’s nearly impossible with just 70 energy to spread out between all content..
Great Rewards - Check
Gives players with large rosters something to do with that roster - Check
Permanent and do it when your ready - Check
Well done Kabam! This is exactly the kind of thing us veterans need to keep us engaged with the game. As long as the intense difficulty isn't the result of bugs or unavoidable damage I think this is going to be an awesome addition to the game!
People sleep on Storm, mine is already at r4 and her l2 crits at well over 40k. I ranked her a long time ago (first 5* I ever took to r4) and did 2 LOL pathes with her. Captain Marvel is another one that OG players used for LOL when SL was not an option, she hits hard and is poison immune. Luke Cage, Drax, Winter Soldier, Jane Foster, Ronan, Hulk and BP Classic also are some decent OG champs avaialable as 5* if you know how to use them. UC, Rhino, Electro and any of the Spider-men are useful on defense.
But the Classic level rewards won't be worth it and Variant level rewards will be unattainable for many of the mid tier players. There should be a level in the middle, otherwise this is a beginner or super advanced quest only.
Lol stop opening crystals.
No it’s not it’s a permanent quest... you do it when you have the roster. It’s like completing act 4 and complaining that starting act 5 is too difficult but exploring act 3 gives terrible rewards.
That's why it's permanent content, just like LOL
True, but it's permanent content so it will be there when you are ready for it. I don't know that there is much point in making new permanent content that is for everyone at whatever stage they are at. There is no reason to make an easy version of Act 6 so that new players can experience it...they already have the previous acts, the monthly EQ, and side quests. As far as I can tell the classic version is being released more for nostalgia than to make it more inclusive.
Cosmic: Symbiote Spider-Man, Captain Marvel and Venom. I already have one of them at 4/55 and the other two I don't have them.
Tech: Ultron, SL and Iron Man (lolwut). this one isn't too bad but I don't even have SL.
Mutant: Storm. then just after comes Cyclops and Magneto who suck big time. Storm literally is the only good champ of that class at that time.
Skill: Hawkeye, BP, WS, Elektra (top pick).
Science: Luke Cage, Yellowjacket, Captain America and Hulk. OG Spidey isn't bad as well
Mystic: Magik and Guilly.
So yeah, an Tech or Mutant 2015 AG would really be terrible imo.
Anyways, Judging by the rewards I heavily doubt I'll be able to even complete this quest (this could be a LOL or Symbiote difficulty-like event quest), but that 2.1m gold looks soo tempting. lol. Still looks like an veeery cool quest and looking forward to try it.
Did that for 3 months. Stopped caring when I was close enough to maxing my top 4 5* champions’ sig abilities.
Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
Equating it to Act 3, 4, 5 etc. doesn't really make sense because they are a basic progression. But it is just like LOL like you said. LOL didn't interest me much either so more content I'll pass on. To each their own.
And two levels between those, and four levels between all of those. Ad infinitum.
In all seriousness, I think you're looking at the two difficulties as if they were intended to represent a range of difficulties with only two points. I don't get that impression at all. I think the two difficulties are two completely different pieces of content with completely different purposes that happen to leverage the old Ultron content. The classic difficulty is intended to give players a flashback to an old event and is intended to be relatively easy for most players of sufficient progress to complete. The variant difficulty isn't just intended to be some amount more difficult, it is intended to be aspirational content that only the highest progress players should be able to complete, and everyone else will have to work towards. Because it is permanent content, it isn't intended to offer a lot of different difficulty levels to try to match different player progress.
In other words, if you think most players will be in the middle, you're right, and that's deliberately intentional. It isn't meant for everyone to find an appropriately tuned difficulty like most monthly quests do. It (meaning variant difficulty) is meant to be a singular goal to strive to achieve.
They aren't likely to say until it actually happens. The announcement is simply saying that the 2015 rank up gems will work on those champions on the list if they actually exist as 5* champions, including if they are eventually added to the game. But they aren't making any promises that if you wait long enough you're guaranteed to get all of them as 5* champs. *If* they come out, the rank up will work on them.
If I had to guess, I would guess that variant will be an early preview of Act 6-level difficulty.
Well said. That makes a lot of sense and many will likely find it to be good new content.
They look like random class crystals to me.
While highly unlikely, what happens if a player has already taken those champs to R4 and then pulls multiple mutant gems that can never be used? Since it’s limited to 2015 champs, you can’t just wait to pull a new one.
For a few of these classes I will just be waiting. If I get cosmic, I’ll wait for Thor. If I get mystic, I’ll wait for SW. If I get mutant I’ll wait for Wolvie. They may never come but it’ll be ready if they do.
Please for once remove the randomness so people can actually rank who they want.
First off, love the announcement, new difficulty and rewards.
Now, why would you include all of the champs even though they might not have a 5 star variant. It makes the list difficult to scan and identify your options.
To me it seems, that there is more champs being released as a 5 star variant and y'all dont want give that away so you included everyone. Since that message is already conveyed, can you all include only the 5 star variants and put a caption saying current list as of nov 2018. Says the same thing and is more helpful.
