X-Men FAQ

Share:

The Customer Support X-Men First Class Event FAQ is finally here. I wonder why they seem to wait to post these things as they are of no use once the players figure the events out on our own. Once again, there are a few errors. It says collect up to 4 mastery items (highlighted in yellow). We only collect one and the stats change if we gain higher mastery. They should explain that better so players don't think that they can own 4 Magneto's Helmets. They mixed up the boosts in the descriptions and they state that the boosts aren't tradable. They appear tradable to me as you can see them on my wishlist and Mike Nestor sent me one of each.


The rest of the errors are highlighted in red and are spelling and grammar errors. I know I make those all the time but I don't get paid to do this. Official documents should at least be looked over once before they are published. We do find out that the event ends on the afternoon of June 2nd so that information is appreciated.

X-Men is coming to theatres on June 3, 2011, but you can get your first glimpse of the action here. Welcome to the future for an old school style of loot event with a few new twists and turns.  This event will give players an opportunity to collect loot through jobs and fighting in the quest of the mastery item.

Q:  When does this event begin?A:  This event is scheduled to begin on 5/2611.  As with many of our events, this event will be slowly rolled out to our players to ensure stability within the game.  Due to the gradual release of this event it will not be immediately available to all of our players.
Q:  Why are new events always released to a limited audience?A:  When we release a new feature into the game, we want to ensure that it does not create instability and functions in the way that it was intended.  Although we try to release it to the wider audience as quickly as possible, it is imperative that we make sure that it will not interfere with your enjoyment of the game.
Q:  Can I manually be added this event if I contact Customer Support?A:  Unfortunately our agents will not be able to manually add you to this event.  The wider audience of players will be added in a gradual fashion and our agents do not have the means to expedite this process.
Q:  On what date is this event scheduled to end?A:  This event is scheduled to conclude mid-day on 06/02/11.
Q:  What if I did not receive the event on the first day that it was released, will I be allowed any extra time to complete the event?A:  This event is designed to be completed within a few days with standard amounts of game play.  As with most of our events, we allow extra time within the event schedule to ensure that most players will be able to maximum their time and enjoyment of the event, and collect as many rewards as possible.  Because these events are scheduled in advance, additional time can not be added to individual accounts and the event will conclude for all players at the same time.
Q:  How will this event work?A:  Players will collect 7 different loot items.  There will also be two different boost items that players will be able to send as gifts.
Q:  What are the boost items?A:  The two boost items are Magneto's Magnetism and Frost's Diamond Form and they can be found on the gifts page:

  1. What is the best job to do to get the drops? I'm not getting any from las vegas or from brazil exp/eng jobs

  2. What's required to gain a mastery level? I thought it was one of each of the seven items but that doesn't seem to be it. Is it 1 of each for bronze, then 2 of each for silver, and increases from there?

  4. Best job for most loot drops? I'd imagine a NY low level/energy job - same as all other events.

    But as a normal course of business, I pound on the Italy Region 8 "Set A Trap For Di Rossi's Top Capo" for looting Legions, Eagles, Guards - and the x-men loot is dropping fine there.

  6. Q: What is the Frost's Diamond Form boost used for?A: This boost is used when a player loots and X-Men item from a fight. The boost is consumed giving the player two more of the looted item.
    Q: What is the Magneto's Magnetism boost used for?A: his boost is used when a player loots and X-Men item from a job. The boost is consumed giving the player two more of the looted item.

    IN INVENTORY > BOOSTS
    those items are reversed:
    Frost's Diamond Form gives +2 for a JOB
    Magneto's Magnetism gives +2 in a FIGHT

    so whose lying eyes should I believe?

  7. Always believe what you see in the game. The specs are not always right so however wrote the FAQ probably went off a spec and didn't fact check it with the game. I highlighted the things that were inconsistent with the game in yellow.

    What is the Mastery Item?A: The Grand Prize or Mastery Item for this event is Magento's Helmet.

  13. So, I have collected all the items once, got the Magneto/Magento helmet. Collected all items again, and no option to collect/upgrade my Magneto/Magento helmet. Any advice?
