First of all, massive thanks to Star for doing all the research related to this episode. Here are however some disclaimers regarding the recording:  - This recording was done on May 18th, before the short term road map was released by Kabam  - There was unfortunately some technical difficulties with the recording which lead to a ~20 minute chunk of my side of recording to be lost. I did try my best to re-record the missing section and make it sound as natural as possible, but it's not perfect. The info being discussed by Star in those 20 minutes is pretty essential to the understanding of the context in the episode, and she did work so hard on putting together the information, so I wasn't going to cut that out.  - There is some amazing bloopers at the end of Star singing when she think no one can hear her!    All that being said, thanks for the continued support of the podcast. We should be back soon with our discussion of Red Guardian and our recap of the released roadmap! 

If you're interested in viewing the public version of the Feedback document mentioned in the recording you can find it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j7Y7ra1vA7WFaCzcTT4X2fwaFbRVYSN3yxGUlsU49y8/edit?usp=sharing    Also my apologies for some of the choppy audio in today's episode. Had some technical difficulties on my side. We should be back with our discussion of Black Widow (Deadly Origin) soon.    Thank you for your continued support of the podcast!

Huge thanks to Brian for agreeing to appear on this episode! And thank you all for your continued support of the podcast.  We'll be back soon with our review of the new Black Widow, and some other interesting topics!

This episode is just mean as some fun theory crafting around AOL and what kind of team could be used if you're going in blind on day 1. Obviously, doing so is not advisable in any way for almost every player...but trying to figure out this jigsaw puzzle of Abyss with the info we have so far is fun!  Huge thanks to my aly mate, DocMcKnife, for agreeing to appear on this episode. And my apologies for some of the audio quality issues in the recording.  You can find the datamined Abyss fights in the following videos, the info in the datamines have been provided by Otriux:  https://youtu.be/HGOoGTq9syA  https://youtu.be/pFeFVCFjqss  https://youtu.be/0l_ZrYHtUS8  I also put together this spreadsheet that summarizes the info from the videos:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n65ozk8N4wPcUIYNCaMMawV4nAci3LiaHo2CRG3bdKk/edit?usp=sharing  Finally the teams theory crafted by Doc and myself are as follows:  Kam's team: Aegon, Gully2099, Fury, Doom, Torch  Doc's team: Gully2099, Fury, Doom, Torch, Mr. Fantastic  (I like Doc's team more...)    What team would you take in if you were going in blind?  Thank you all for your continued support! Looking forward to posting more Abyss content in the coming weeks.

Made a bit of an error when speaking about the Acorn event, there's still a daily timer on the daily quests, so if you miss out on completing the event every day, you'd miss out on some Acorn. But that's not too big of a deal especially considering how much extra Acorn we get.    Star's spreadsheet on Acorn acquisition: https://twitter.com/StarfighterMcoc/status/1215348857397284864?s=20    Thank you for your continous support! We will be back shortly with a Nova review and perhaps our initial thoughts on the Abyss.
