Daredevil was my first and only prestige. His play style is one of the most fun in the game for me.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
wut?
I could see him as Winter Soldier, especially since he was already Captain America in the 90's Spidey cartoon, and CA:TWS was the closest we'll ever get to a good Metal Gear movie, it would make for a fun callback.

Nightcrawler does not suck. He's just very squishy. And he's certainly not as smooth and survivable as Daredevil. I think their damage might be similar, with DD winning out.
I'm not saying Nightcrawler is in a bad place, but I felt Daredevil blows him away in terms of sticking to a melee target and dealing consistent damage. Too much hit-and-run with Nightcrawler for my tastes, but then again I wasn't using a full meta build.

Nightcrawler is a slog early on when he's super squishy and I think because you level up so quickly these days, you're not always optimally geared to keep him alive either.
He's better at 60 fully geared (and certainly extremely good fun) but still on the squishier side of toons as others have said.
I've just started building him up again.

he is also downright broken (in my experience) without a pym's shrinking

New raid changes.
The first bolded portion confirms what I suspected. Our group went from clearing green raids easily to dying on Surtur when the new red tier was released. Despite everyone having better gear. Hidden buffs to bosses would do that. This won't be out until the next patch, but I'm glad they're acknowledging the issue.
The second bolded part is long overdue.

Well I'm still not clear if the Green bosses really have more HP than two weeks ago. That statement doesn't really specifically say.
Reason I ask is because I beat Surtur a couple times the past few days, so I'm not sure.
(although one definite change is the DOT pulse that Mono gives out, that was not there before)

It seems random. Like the run we did during Omega week, he got the Omega modifier and was stronger than he's been in the past. Some folks speculate the 40% boss modifier skills don't work on him, but I'm not sure.
It does seem like he has more health. I can't explain why else we can enter the instance with better gear and not beat him, but maybe I'm missing something. The portals were screwing up with not taking enough people, so that could be part of it.
I have beat the raid on PUGs so I'm confused.

Agree with that, I put one on him fairly early but it's a horrible roll.

I have that spirit on crit runeword on my NC.
I don't mind his hit and run style, since it's basically what I'd expect from NC.
I didn't really like the combo system when I levelled DD for synergy. Similar with Psylocke and multiple resource management.

Agreed. It's taken ages to level Reed. Eventually I just gave up on Midtown and started clearing LQs.
Oh, and I got Thor's Destroyer costume from a fortune card, so I got that going for me, which is nice.
I don't own Thor

Speaking of raids, that something that still happens on Wednesdays? If so, what's the general time frame for it? I need to start getting in on this action.
Typically starting around 8pm or 9pm Central
Speaking of which... I completely forgot it was Wednesday lol

If there's a weekend raid again I'd be keen to join. Gotta get my last two upgrade recipes.
The hearts recipes apparently increase the "+ ranks" so if anyone wants to carry me through red raids...

What type of event is coming with the next patch? Shared Quest rewards? Timer-based loot? Something else?
So that's every week? I don't participate in Raids and no one really volunteered any info to add to the OP. I take it the schedule might not be set in stone, but a guideline would help new people.

I believe it's ARMOR incursion, so drives dropping from bosses. They're tweaking the drop rates currently, but harder terminal bosses drop more drives; easier drop less.
Some of the info from last time is here, but the dropping mechanism has changed this time around.

back from my 3 day ban on here lol with anew name 
Yeah, Wednesday "night" is usually when it happens, if it happens.
I don't remember anything about this event. Things are starting to get hazy. Never realized that chaos portal existed. I'm gonna need'em for SG and RR.

Are our lives being retconned?
I vaguely remember using the drives for one of those 4-affix costume shards, but now I wish I had saved the drives for the artifact on Rocket. That crappy 4-affix mod is now sitting somewhere in my stash. I think it was like strength, durability, speed, item find, or something worse than that.
We try to do it every week, but not always and not necessarily at the same exact time. So it's kinda inconsistent lol, since we're casual guild

Yeah the drops scale to your level. The chests drop so frequently though that I wouldn't really bother saving them.

They scale when opened? I thought the level was locked to whatever level they dropped at (per the level requirement to open).

The plan was to continue our Wednesday night raiding tradition...then only four people showed up. We typically have 7-8 folks ready to go and have to bring in a couple of extras from outside the super group to form the raid.
In the past, we've done two raids on Wednesday nights, then another run or two on the weekends. Times aren't set in stone, but the first Wednesday raid has tended to start at 2000 Eastern Time, with the second one starting at 2200 Eastern Time. Those are intended to accomodate our Brazilian/Canadian/USA players. In the past, Sblargh or someone has led the first run, and I usually shoehorn myself into leading the second group. We don't really need anyone leading them anymore, but it helps to explain fight mechanics to new players and narrow down group selections.
The weekend runs have been less consistent, but they seem to be happening at a time significantly earlier in the day to accomodate some of our European players. We also will put together impromptu raid teams late on Friday/Saturday night for alts.
Most of the more regular SG members have multiple raid geared characters, so there isn't a ton of structure to who raids and when they show up. It's usually a case of seeing who is online that wants to melt some bosses. I'm practically casual compared to dudes like Kepow with my 600+ hours played, and I have four different heroes fully geared for raids. That's not uncommon, so it's just about setting aside a couple of hours, seeing who you want to play, and getting to it.

I got Psylocke last night from a random box (Continuing my stretch of only getting X-Men in this game, as long as you stretch it and say Spiderman has appeared in enough X-series to count) and played her just a bit, thought "Oh wow, this secondary resource is really cool, sets her playstyle apart from everybody else I've used so far"
Then I read about her QOL changes. Meh. I'd rather the fun interesting playstyle than the strength increase that will presumably come from the changes.

My first pack of 20.
Wow, never seen that.
I've had a few 10 packs, but never a 20 before.

SInce she's my best geared character and the closest thing I have to a "main" in game, I'll chime in and say I can't wait for the changes. The psionic barrier alone should make her more suitable for cosmic terminals and likely red raids going forward. As it stands, she is a melee character that requires a decent amount of defensive gearing options and liberal use of her projections to keep her alive in tough content. That should no longer be the case and allow for more offensive gearing, which I appreciate.
I do like juggling the secondary resource, but I'm fine with this change. Less cycling between mental versus physical abilities will definitely change the play style, but the changes to stealth and assassinate sound incredible.
My best haul so far was 100 Odin marks last night. I was super happy.
Yep, though it's nothing super formal. Basically, show up Wednesday night ready to roll. Anyone is allowed to start a raid at any time or PUG away, but that's the closest thing we have to an arranged date.

Guaranteed drops from bosses and end chests in X-Def and H-Sim (varying amounts based on zone and completion times). The exact numbers won't be up until tonight's TC build.
