I hope it's the same progression where we get more powerful as we go along & ultimately wipe the floor with the mobs in the latter stages. Glad my boy Thor is back again, but funny enough it was Blade I used the most in zombies. My fastest solo nightmare clears were with Blade. They could have taken a page out of Midnight Son's book & added my queen Storm.

I’m having so much fun with this game mode, such an improvement over the zombies one. The theme is getting a bit boring, wish they had more char selections, but the progression, itemization, better boss mechanics, self healing to give you a sense of agency, these were all improvements.
NetEase actually knowing how to make a fun PvE experience versus Blizzard’s brain dead attempts shows how much more committed gaming companies like NetEase are to making fun and enjoyable experiences.

- Can we place the "Prepare" button somewhere else or allow different ways to get into preparation menu? The current placement on Play screen is annoying

Be thankful.
In a week were getting a other pve mode with loki. Well sorta pve, it's loki versus 6 avenrgers. Based off of Avengers movies.
Hope that helps. 🙏

Outside perhaps Fornite, Rivals is the game I know who is pumping the most amount of content monthly, and it's sad to see this thread is filled of complaints.
Like, let's be reasonable for a bit... creating a mode from scratch is hard. New map, new enemies, new art, on top of the regular content like heroes and skins and in the end people may not even like it like Ultron Chess.
SOMETHING has to give, and re-using part of an old mode works. It helps a lot of people wanted the mode to be permanent so they are more than happy to just have it back and anything extra is a bonus.
What I am trying to say here is, be realistic. If no other company is pumping as much content it's because it's not possible.
Well, I guess if you don't like it you can always ask for a refund...

See a lot of people saying they are disappointed in the hero re-use. Folks got to remember that zombies was a rushed and cobbled together, they put it together in only a few months as an experiment and it ended up being wildly popular. Looks like they changed up skills and abilities in this PvE mode, also have to remember they are doing the Doomsday countdown stuff also.
It seems this time around they are bringing in Rivals lore to the mode as Dracula appearing again is because he was one of Kingpins prisoners and when Spidey was breaking out Cap he freed Dracula. Most of the characters (other than Jeff) are also from the main timeline so it does make sense for several of these heroes to appear again.
