Eh, now that I look, I could only get 4625 iso for him. He's only level 65 and 4/4/5, he just seems mediocre other than being a HP tank. I basically only use the yellow power.

so so so happy that they changed the shitastic daken animation

lol "what happened to a casual puzzle game"

freakygeek otm though

just tried a maggia mission in today's iteration & got my OBW squashed in like 2 minutes

game is bullshit right now

^^ Me last night, and agree 1000%.

this makes me wonder how much iso you guys were burning on boosts, because it was almost always like this for me

had a phase during the hulk tourney where I bought a number of +3 green boosts for wolvie, for 100 iso a pop, but o/w haven't bought them (or health packs)

I would happily pay $5 to speed up heals outside of battle

i have a bit of iso to spare, so had been boosting +3 all +3 blue/purp. Now I boost +3blue/purp +3green/black.

outside of 230 missions (which were rare except this event where they're everywhere) i never boost.

I've got about 10k ISO right now because I've been so indecisive about who to level. I've been boosting on these 200+ levels, but normally don't.

i boosted pretty much EVERY MATCH with +3 all/red+yellow/black+green
that's how i got through tourneys

I only start using a particular boost when I have more than 5 of it stockpiled tbh

^ this for me too it's very weird but yeah i don't let anyting fall under like... 3 total

critical +25% is an underrated boost imo

haha omg i can run loki/obw/patch in the wolvie tourney. so much fun.

tell me more abt this strategy?

It's ruthless, but I've been peeking at my opponent's roster in the Wolverine tourney to see if they have characters that can compete with me. If not, I'm CRUSH THEM.

its terrible on defense, and only hit-miss on offense. but it is very fun.

obw is very good at generating black with espionage + her purple steal. also she gets in front on matches, taking damage instead of my very low level loki.

build up enough green and black, then bam. green creates strikes for both sides, then use trickery to turn the strikes for your opponent in to high-powered shields. after this you hit for incredible damage (and double when obw matches) and basically are invulnerable because of all the shields.

but if it goes wrong, obw goes down, then loki follows immediately, so there's that...

and on defense the AI will never get it right, and furthermore your opponent can just take out loki first and ruin the fun.

its supposedly also very good on missions against goons in pve.

i'm astonished they haven't at least fixed the drastic level imbalances on the events yet; it's kinda ludicrous
reduced to playing about four matches a day, maybe fifteen minutes. I was putting in minimum two hours a day! maybe this will be a good thing ultimately; really hope they crater and fuck up so bad i can uninstall... how beautiful the thought...

i've had to tear myself away just to get to the rest of my immortal backlog, so I won't cry if they shut it down for a weekend

forks otm.

I'm pretty much going to grind away in SHIELD training now, trying to get that sweet, sweet 100HP reward.

Thick As Thieves ends tonight in about 8 hours, so grind away if you're still going for Daredevil

well i WAS but now could give a fuck

to be honest, without that bug i wouldn't be in this at all. i'm grinding an end mission that puts you against a solo Hood at Level 230, and gives 2000 points at max

i honestly can't get past the first level just now. really gonna have to rethink my strategies.

tank. it's what's for dinner. you weren't gonna use that Yelena!

I swear I've gotten 45 bag men with all my heroic tokens. It makes me rage.

$$$ will soothe that rage! /d3

honestly, that's the real reason I maintain a spreadsheet, to prove to myself that I'm not going crazy, and yes, I have drawn 49 Modern Storm cards. yes, I have drawn eight 1-star cards in a row. it does prove out the rates are fairly steady in terms of rarity

the actual card you get within that rarity though, seems to be totally random (i.e. 49 M. Storm vs. 30 M. Black Widow)

Maybe it's confirmation bias but I feel like I get way more IM35/Storm than I get MBW/Hawkeye so it might not be random?

I checked mischiefmaker's sheet from D3P and your gut is almost right - IM35 and Storm are more likely to show up than other 1*s

Black Widow 11.09%
Juggernaut 11.15%
Hawkeye (classic) 10.30%
Venom 9.80%
Yelena Belova 10.61%
Storm (modern) 15.18%
Iron Man (model 35) 15.33%

so all those people who angrily sold their thors are probably pissed y/n?

oh and now that i mention it.

for your/the other guy's excel sheets... are you timestamping each pull? wd be interested to see if there are time trends that are interesting (eg. common times where there are better pulls)

no time stamping

No OBW in this Heroic Mode is killing me. Didn't realize how much I relied on her healing and count down extender.

was neck and neck for 1st in the bracket last night but didn't quite pull it out -- bad timing and then got nailed on bad boards for two maggia missions in the last minutes. still ended up 4th and got all three DD covers. The 2000 iso helped dull the pain of all i spent on the boosts i burned through though.

Wait, is the Thick As Thieves event done? Bah, why was I doing homework last night when I had more important things to do.

"more important things" PSHAW

ikr, why was I doing grad school work when I could've been striving for some DD (or at least some Cap) covers?

so is thor unnerfed?

Thor is the (buffed) star of the next character-centric tournament, lol

my god, they're so fucking mean right now

I should probably be enraged by at least some of this but instead I've found the entire thing really fucking funny

and wait is the oscorp STILL on that 230 level shit?

there's the occasional forum nerd with stockhausen syndrome who is all like, naw i like the difficulty, but like 90% of the people on that board seem furious.

i'm kinda with you dan. it's like they're being good parents and asking us to stop playing, we've wasted enough time already and if we don't realize that, here, we'll make it not fun anymore will you please stop playing

While I would like less difficulty, if it must be heroic 230s then at least let us bring some dps characters. I don't think it is too much to ask to be able to do more damage per turn than Daken regenerates.

omg hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

The trick is to sell the covers you're not going to use. Sell thor, sell all your 1 star characters even if they are maxed. Thor is useless unless he's in a buffed tourney. Every one star is useless because they have too little life and they will get 2 shotted. Selling your covers makes the PVE enemies muuuuch much weaker. I just sold 3 characters and my maggia went from 230 to 101. I think it may have something to do with number of levels vs number of covers. If you have a lot of crap covers (low levels) then the pve enemies will be so easy because the computer thinks you suck for having such a bad squad of heroes.

at least my l85 2 star wolvie can take out that daken in one hit with the red attack, rip feral claws though

btw forks the devs on that forum seem to have refuted the "sell the cover" claim
