    Watch as Washington D.C. turns into LA with smog!

    LOL

    I'm actually looking forward to this Episode. Two reasons, it ends the metal story and the new artifact. :D

    This week has been so miserable I’m not sure I even want it. Please let there be no mechanics where a single idiot can kill the entire group. :(

    No bonus on launch weeks.

    I think the reference is towards something like one person using an orbital strike on the Anti-Monitor to cause a wipe lol.

    Oh, you know, like Mxy’s turrets or Anti-Monitor’s orbital. But don’t mind me, I’m just thinking aloud.

    Don’t forget Mxy’s turrets!

    Sorry, I feel like I'm in a brain fog. What does that have to do with this week, the downtime, wanting new content, or being miserable?

    Legion Of Doom is what, 4 months old? And people still haven’t learned not to do the things that wipe the group. So the thought of a new episode is somewhat daunting, for me at least. Especially since I’m pretty behind on LOD rewards due to abstaining from the alert and raid most of the time.

    Thanks for the announcement, Mepps. Can you tell us if future updates will increase zone content like doomed DC, or do we have to wait and see?

    Good news! Oh wait, never mind. Yes, there’s room wipers for doing things you shouldn’t or not blocking. Run pre mades or run event level. Pays out the same and if it’s like last dlc, drops catalysts too. Gear up via daily boxes and reg duo and just get coins and catalysts running event level. No reason to skip content. I was skipping the alerts but then just started running event if I had to pug a toon.

    LFG is barely better than blind queues these days.

    Yeahhhhh. Hard to disagree there. It’s just a large pool of players that are overly confident I guess. Or a large pool of players hoping for the best and that they’ll pick up a top tier type. But at least most premades have a tank or healer or even both vs could be 4 dps in pug land. Which btw, won’t matter at all in event level. I get the fact it feels like playing in baby mode but it’s a guaranteed finish and on days where you’re just in it to get paid, that’s all that matters. And for alts, you’ll clean up on styles. If I get 3 boss drops, 90% of the time, I get a new style each time.

    Support roles weren’t the issue this episode, no amount of Healer helps when someone is going around disabling all the Mxy turrets. Rapid fire 180k hits for everyone! I miss the good old days, when people only killed themselves with their stupidity.

    You can turn all the turrets you want in event lol. Even speeds it up. We have 4 360 toons running it daily lately.
