    The only thing picks my interest was gamora's new awakening power, Still confuse who's much better. The new one or the previous one :neutral:

    While that makes some sense, I’m not sure you can rely on the timeline as we think we know it. There’s a fair amount of jumbling between the comic-verse and the MCU in game, and it only becomes more apparent when the hashtag system gets used extensively. If you consider Miike’s statement that SHIELD champs aren’t useable because Nick Fury already knows everything about them, then you’re left with quite a few questions:

    Is this Nick from 1995, the year the new CM movie takes place? If so, then he’s looking for intel on a Peter Quill who was kidnapped by Yondu just 7 years prior and is likely still a teenage mascot for the Ravagers (and certainly not yet the illustrious Star-Prince). Likewise Gamora, who may have just had her first cybernetic implant as a present on her sweet sixteen from big daddy Thanos. And the AoU Vision? Well, he doesn’t exist yet. And in the MCU, Wanda Maximoff hasn’t met Strucker or any Infinity Stones. It goes on and on if you think about IWIM, Ragnarok Hulk and Thor...

    What if this is the current Nick as we know him? He does have the eyepatch, so that’s a possibility. Then why is he looking for intel on Natasha, Clint, Steve? He doesn’t know about them yet? Ultron is yesterday’s news, so he shouldn’t be too worried there. In fact, all the Avengers ought to be well-known to him at this stage (as well as CM, who he met in 1995, who should be a later version of the Classic CM...oh, whatever).

    Not trying to start a fight—I think it will be a great event, and I’m generally fine with the decision to exclude certain popular champs even if it puts some at a disadvantage (as long as the difficulty doesn’t approach recent top-end events like Variant and Maze).

    But I don’t think there’s strict timeline adherence here—it is this way because the team says it is, period. And we can choose to play/like it or not. I tend to think I will like it.

    That actually makes a lot of sense!

    Well you can run any content with other champs so ease up on people complaining that there top champs can’t be used skillboy!

    Will this be like gwenpool goes to the movies where we can get 2 star basic hero’s to help 100% complete the quest. Which would be unfair because people aren’t gonna have every single champion

    @Lucasjones_98 How did you change your picture to a Skrull?

    So, because you can't use them in this specific request for the month...RIP. Don't want to use them in EQ? AQ? AW?
    This discussion is specifically for the Nick Fury event. Why incorporate EQ, AW AQ? He's basically talking about those champs unusable for this event alone.
  • JCBRJCBR Member Posts: 43

    How come Vulture is not included with the Spider-verse, Siniser Six group?
    It ain't the classic Vulture. It's based on the MCU character and MCU has no sinister six, or not yet. Character Tags are based on what or how they are from where they are derived.

    Some pretty big names left out of this event:
    Angela (Guardian?)
    Blade (Merc?)
    Voodoo
    Corvus
    Ghost
    Ghostrider
    Guilly
    Hela
    Hood
    Hype
    Killmonger (Merc?)
    Kingpin
    Korg
    Medusa
    Morningstar
    Punisher
    Quake
    Red Hulk
    Void
    Wasp

    For me, this means 7 out of my top 11 champs are left on the bench. Will be using a bunch of 4/40, 3/45, and 5/50 champs for this one...

    I was disappointed to learn that I can't use 6* Yondu in the Guardians map.

    Why is there an IP in week 3?
    Tagged as Sinister Six.

    Why? Because "RIP" is a stupid way of putting it when you can't use them in one event for one month. Clear?

    Actually, it’s pretty much based on whatever the game team wants.

    As another example, Hulk Ragnarok is classed as an Avenger in game. Classic Hulk is a founding member of the Avengers in comics and movies, but there’s not a clear basis for including the gladiator version as an Avenger (maybe as a “Revenger”?). In Thor Ragnarok, he’s not really serving as an Avenger and has actually abandoned the team—likewise, if you are familiar with the comic storylines of Planet Hulk and WWHulk (where he’s in his gladiator garb), he’s really not operating as an Avenger either. If there’s another gladiator Hulk somewhere in any Avengers storyline, I don’t remember it.

    So I’m fine just sticking with the answer “because the game says so”—trying to parse it all out is nigh impossible.

    He's not serving as an Avenger in the movie but in the MCU Hulk and Gladiator Hulk are no different. Did you hear Hulk called WWHulk in the Movie? No. He's MCU Hulk whose outfit is inspired by the WWHulk storyline. If Gladiator Hulk was based on the comics, the tags would be different, but it's the exact same Hulk from the previous MCU appearances, and he is an official Avenger member. There is no such thing as "because the game says so". There is a solid reason behind every tag on every character. You just don't understand how they do it.

    "For those that want to chase the 5-Star Awakening Gem Crystal, you’ll need to complete every Difficulty of the event, and log in every day to claim your daily Intel from the Calendar! The Crystal costs 5000 Intel, and it’s only possible to get 5740 Intel from normal play."

    this is confusing to me.. if it only costs 5000, and we can get 5740 from "normal" play - what does normal play mean

    They are gonna sell intel in the store probably in unit deals
  • xRoosterxxRoosterx Member Posts: 26
    that would be good - i just want the awakening gem crystal haha

    Given the character constraints concerned about completing epic difficulty every week..

    This should be interesting. Looking forward to it.

    Hey All,

    Just wanted to give you a heads up! The team has just let me know that the Intel Store will not be available right at 10 am (when the event starts). But don't worry! It will be available in the next 90 minutes.

    This is just a precaution we want to take to prevent any unnecessary issues that might arise at the very beginning of an event.

    Liar! You fake Skrull Kabam Miike! Bring the real one back!

    Maybe I don’t.

    I’m fine with whatever it is, but I don't find it as black-and-white as you do. If it were, for example, Yondu, who is a founding member of the classic GotG in comics and is pretty clearly a GotG in MCU GotG Vol.2 would be useable Week One.

    And champs who haven’t been in a MCU movie? Not sure what the rule is there—She-Hulk comes to mind as a fairly regular member of the Avengers in the 1980’s (and later a member of the FF, but we aren’t there yet) and (if I recall correctly) a current team leader. Then there’s the team-jumping Beast...

    Anyway, fun talk. Quest just went live so got to run.

    So do the special FGMC contain only those champs? For example, if I get a Grandmaster Avengers Assemble Crystal, would I possibly get a Spider Gwen or Cable?

    Over the next 4 weeks, we will introduce 1 Quest per week with 5 different Difficulty Levels. Each of these Quests is only 2 paths, with a buffed up Boss at the end!


    I just loaded the first day and the Chapter 1 of 4 of beginner has 6 paths. Am I missing something here @Kabam Miike ?
