Marvel Puzzle Quest Support Group

I don't think so? I see that as a plus though as I can test a grouping on one device and see if I like it or not without screwing up my bracket position on the other

I'd like syncing. And some goddamn retina graphics on the iPad.

^^ that too

Is it just me, or do different characters have different amounts of time to resurrect?

Might have mentioned this but this is a huge reason I roll out Daken and Wolvie so often -- even now at level 50ish if they're 50% hurt they're still only an hour to heal. (plus i can heal them in easy venom prologue matches by just hitting for low damage and healing).

they SORTA did retina graphics for the pad... just not the playing area strangely enough.

the important part!!

Yeah, I've been spamming this mission when I haven't felt like waiting in the 1.5-2 hour window I have to play this crack game on weeknights.

Got an Iron Man Model 40 and Classic Magneto in Standard Token draws today. I'm a True Believer!

more hawkeye. more thor. goddammit.
daken up to lv. 52

Last night started feeling the consequences of my leveling Storm up too high. Poor Ororo, RIP.

saw this thread blow up, installed game, played game, am very confused

we call that "Stage 1"

there are lots of things happening. i feel like the game is yelling at me. something about the punisher? and then assembling the dark avengers?

Biggest thing holding me back right now is the lack of hero points. There just aren't enough to get all the covers that I need.

adam, just keep playing the early levels until you can beat some more levels, then keep beating those multiple times.

then dig yourself a shallow grave and bury everything you've ever loved in it
then lightning rounds

oh yeah lightning rounds. what on earth was i thinking, leaving my phone away from me for an hour.

buffed Doctor Doom is MEAN; my three attack tiles do 147 per turn EACH

The names they came up with for obviously fake player slots in these tourneys are terrible
freerangeC@ge
WannaBeSkrull
HAIGUYZDOOM

i tank in all lightning rounds now. win one, then play with weak characters and resign right away. can't tell but i think it helps get me weaker opponents in the serious tourneys.

i've never gotten above 200th place in a lightning round - competition's too brutal. any success?

actually, i think the trick is that you play any round - whether you win/lose - with scrub characters, you get matched with other scrub teams and then you can kick their ass when you retaliate. so it's best to start out with your weakest teams and steadily use your stronger ones only if you have to

then again, this doesn't always work either

Grr!! I had time for a handful of games tonight so I tried for some covers and hero points. Guess what i was rewarded with instead.

Otoh, I did stage a 1 vs. 2 bad guy battle in which I came from behind top win with an unleveled Dark Hawk that had no use for AP.

accidentally played this with the sound on.
never again.

I keep getting that Bag Man Spider-Man alternate. I sold it and it came back!

keep him, he's more useful than he seems!

yeah Baghead Spidey kinda rules

Hmm. I got 2 extra red Wolverine (Astonishing X-Men cards) from the Bad is Good tourney. My Wolvie is currently 5/3/2 (G/R/Y). Seems like the Yellow (Healing Factor) ability is the best one to have, Green is maxed out (Feral Claw). Should I listen to my gut and sell off the two Red cards I have and hope I'll draw three Yellows in the future? Or is just foolishness... is the Red ability worth leveling up to 5?

Personally I like having the red at five, I am hoping to go 5/5/3. I feel that the healing works often enough, and if you're not counting on getting every yellow tile for some other reason, you can just avoid breaking them and heal. The cost/effect of the red attack tho (at stage 5 and level 50, i think it's 12 tiles for 1400 damage, plus any damage you gain from your feral claws on the way) is pretty great.

Typically on the forum tho people say it's best to roll 5/3/5, which I get. TBH I probably went 5 red because I got them first. But I don't feel like I've "ruined" the card by any stretch, the minmaxing on individual skills doesn't seem to make a HUGE difference in most matches. HP and damage are really key aside from a few covers (eg. Storm 1, Storm 2, etc).

I tihnk my wolvie is at 4/5/2 at the moment and I am not terribly disappointed with his lack of healing ability.

You're probably right about the ability balance. Though, I would be REALLY bitter if my maxed out Classic Storm had maxed Yellow (Passive counter) vs. Blue (Stun), especially after the nerf to the counter ability. The Red attack sounds better than I initially thought, though. I have a week to waffle on this decision.

Note on Yellow: My bigs right now are Iron Man Classic 40 and Thor, both which have key Yellow abilities, but Wolvie will make my B or C team anyway.

I mean Iron Man Model 40, o'course

Apropos nothing, I wonder if they cleared the rights to use that Kirby cover for Devil Dinosaur

They probably own them lock stock and barrel anyway

Wait wait wait

I think my sarcasm meter is 100% broken

Devil Dinosaur is ACTUALLY in the game???

WAIT

THIS GAME IS ON STEAM?

OH NO

Yes on both counts. Hahaha!

I've been leery of not using covers for characters I like; I have Thor at 5 green covers and at level cap, but I'd have liked to have yellow at 5 instead. but I got the green drop first. it's changed the way I play a bit but I like that, a serendipitous way to try a different way of bashing Hammer peons

I'm at 2-4-4 on Wolvie. I don't use the red power much because I'm usually using Thor also with him and Thor's red bash is the sauce, especially buffed

here's how OP modern Hawkeye is in The Hunt:

I was playing the penultimate Alaska* fight with the lvl 136 Pyro and lvl 97 Daken and got enough red and blue matches to set Hawk's red and blue countdown tiles. While they went off, I used is purple and blue match strength to down the Pyro; the turn after the Pyro went down, both countdowns went off and 1-shotted the rest of the team, including the lvl 97 Daken.

I love this character in this event and I will be very sad when it ends. Also for the love of god someone give me an Invisible Woman card.

* I think it's Alaska? the first Hunt board

I just got modern Hawkeye and he seems awesome. Plus, I can only hope for Pizza Dog

I keep getting my ass beat hardcore by Daken, every time. Need to figure out what is up with that.

my maxed thor is 3 on red and my classic storm 3 on green. regret both -- the classic storm more.

i'm all about critical tiles in the hunt. match em with purple or blue hawkeye and i can do 2700 damage. a few of those and i can take down an entire team.

this is why I love the crit tile board so much; if you can get a crit off an environmental tile match, you can spam the board with crit tiles and wipe a team out in one turn

Reached the final reward level of The Hunt (30,000 pts) to get that Iron Man Model 40 Red card.
what am i doing with my life, he says to himself

He's winning, obviously.

feeling a little, dare i say, burnt out on this just now

it's hard, with all the events, to feel like you're making progress. & getting a bunch of shit draws sags my spirits.
