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.
― Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Thursday, 30 January 2014 19:15 (ten years ago) link
Thick As Thieves ends tonight in about 8 hours, so grind away if you're still going for Daredevil
― Nhex, Thursday, 30 January 2014 20:25 (ten years ago) link
well i WAS but now could give a fuck
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 30 January 2014 21:06 (ten years ago) link
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
― Nhex, Thursday, 30 January 2014 21:07 (ten years ago) link
i honestly can't get past the first level just now. really gonna have to rethink my strategies.

I swear I've gotten 45 bag men with all my heroic tokens. It makes me rage.
― Jeff, Thursday, 30 January 2014 22:01 (ten years ago) link
$$$ will soothe that rage! /d3
― Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Thursday, 30 January 2014 22:10 (ten years ago) link
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
― Nhex, Friday, 31 January 2014 02:33 (ten years ago) link
the actual card you get within that rarity though, seems to be totally random (i.e. 49 M. Storm vs. 30 M. Black Widow)
― Nhex, Friday, 31 January 2014 02:35 (ten years ago) link
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've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Friday, 31 January 2014 04:12 (ten years ago) link
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%
― Nhex, Friday, 31 January 2014 04:25 (ten years ago) link
so all those people who angrily sold their thors are probably pissed y/n?
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Friday, 31 January 2014 18:23 (ten years ago) link
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)
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Friday, 31 January 2014 18:25 (ten years ago) link
no time stamping
― Nhex, Friday, 31 January 2014 19:02 (ten years ago) link
No OBW in this Heroic Mode is killing me. Didn't realize how much I relied on her healing and count down extender.
― Jeff, Friday, 31 January 2014 19:21 (ten years ago) link
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.
― eric banana (s.clover), Friday, 31 January 2014 19:22 (ten years ago) link
Wait, is the Thick As Thieves event done? Bah, why was I doing homework last night when I had more important things to do.
― Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Friday, 31 January 2014 19:32 (ten years ago) link
"more important things" PSHAW
― Nhex, Friday, 31 January 2014 19:33 (ten years ago) link
ikr, why was I doing grad school work when I could've been striving for some DD (or at least some Cap) covers?
― Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Friday, 31 January 2014 19:49 (ten years ago) link
so is thor unnerfed?
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Friday, 31 January 2014 20:20 (ten years ago) link
Thor is the (buffed) star of the next character-centric tournament, lol

my god, they're so fucking mean right now
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Friday, 31 January 2014 20:33 (ten years ago) link
I should probably be enraged by at least some of this but instead I've found the entire thing really fucking funny
― SHAUN (DJP), Friday, 31 January 2014 20:34 (ten years ago) link
and wait is the oscorp STILL on that 230 level shit?http://www.d3pforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2973there'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

Postby Eddiemon ยป Fri Jan 31, 2014 11:14 amWhile 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
― SHAUN (DJP), Friday, 31 January 2014 20:37 (ten years ago) link
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
― Euler, Friday, 31 January 2014 20:38 (ten years ago) link
btw forks the devs on that forum seem to have refuted the "sell the cover" claim
― Euler, Friday, 31 January 2014 20:39 (ten years ago) link
the "sell the cover" claim is the greatest troll I've ever seen

whew.
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Friday, 31 January 2014 20:43 (ten years ago) link
wolvies new red attack is a bear when he's boosted. i'm very tempted to sell thor and rebuild him? Use the iso to respec and boost punisher/hulk/OG BWidow as that seems like a good poser team.
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Friday, 31 January 2014 20:44 (ten years ago) link
er, power team.
at 230, a single sniper shot kills anyone on my team; very hard to play with that little leeway
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Friday, 31 January 2014 20:45 (ten years ago) link
i've long since stopped trying the Lvl 230 missions, i'd rather tank and play the easier ones
― Nhex, Friday, 31 January 2014 21:02 (ten years ago) link
So they nerf ** Wolverine and at the same time bring in a new *** Wolverine who is just as powerful as the original **. How long until they decide *** Wolvie is too powerful and force everyone to go for the **** version?
Daredevil looks like fun, but he needs more than 2 covers (in my case).
― zanarkand bozo (abanana), Friday, 31 January 2014 22:07 (ten years ago) link
Their reasoning is that 2* Wolverine was too strong for a 2* character.

― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Friday, 31 January 2014 22:33 (ten years ago) link
patch is way more volatile than the original. granting your opponent purple damage tiles is a real bear unless you're super careful.
― eric banana (s.clover), Friday, 31 January 2014 22:33 (ten years ago) link
strangely, my heroic mode is all level 16, so i breezed through everything and pulled about 6k iso which i promptly redistributed among my lower guys. I miss getting daredevil but there's every likelihood i should pull in this event given it's top 50 and i'm at 4 now... of course this goes on for six days so who knows what the fuck they're gonna do now.
Anyways:

i thought stockhausen was on purpose, like people who go around life always telling everyone/believing that they have stockholm syndrome when they actually don't. also great: stockhausen by proxy (see: any parent who watches tv expose on videogame addiction)
haha something i thought was VERY funny was their justification on the forum for nerfing wolvie's yellow... that having a passive skill that healed you didn't "fit the way they saw the game" and that such actions should be active
smash cut to patch
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Friday, 31 January 2014 23:54 (ten years ago) link
stockhausen by proxy is brill.
my heroics starts at 33 for the first mission, 89 for the next, then immediately scales up to 220 and then 230. blah.
even when i can take down those teams, its such a damn grind. nerfed wolvie's strikes take forever to chip away at their health.
― eric banana (s.clover), Saturday, 1 February 2014 02:32 (ten years ago) link
ugh, stop playing for 3 hours, get hit for 216 points in the wolvie tourney
― Nhex, Saturday, 1 February 2014 03:03 (ten years ago) link
btw i really hope they fix this obnoxious frame rate issue soon
― Nhex, Saturday, 1 February 2014 03:11 (ten years ago) link
also, high leveled Spider-Man is kinda amazing. I'm sure he'll get the nerfhammer soon, especially since he's a reward in the Wolvie tourney. but the webbing + healing powers are like TOO good, if i'm winning the match i can easily full heal the whole team in almost every match
― Nhex, Saturday, 1 February 2014 03:48 (ten years ago) link
This is crazy: i had smooth sailing on the osborne board for an hour, powered up to about 2500 points, everybody still at level 16 and i am ranked second. Came back four hours later and i am fifth... And all the enemies are like 180. Devs broke the game
