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

the "sell the cover" claim is the greatest troll I've ever seen

whew.

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.

er, power team.

at 230, a single sniper shot kills anyone on my team; very hard to play with that little leeway

i've long since stopped trying the Lvl 230 missions, i'd rather tank and play the easier ones

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).

Their reasoning is that 2* Wolverine was too strong for a 2* character.

Also, Stockhausen Syndrome is the worst, is it even music?

lol, glad somebody called me on that; i typed it and realized as soon as i hit send then figured i'd see what happened

patch is way more volatile than the original. granting your opponent purple damage tiles is a real bear unless you're super careful.

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.

2 open slots. I figured fuckit, while I'm waiting I'll make a double thorverine and respec.

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

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.

ugh, stop playing for 3 hours, get hit for 216 points in the wolvie tourney

btw i really hope they fix this obnoxious frame rate issue soon

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

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

doesn't that make sense though? you only slid 3 spots

In 4 hours, too! You got a steal, dude.

that's what I'm saying! i'm not complaining, just that something was broke.
meanwhile, i went from 40 in the best there is to "top 70" somehow in the last two minutes of the tourney. i am not meant to get spidey covers.

the last hour of these tourneys is really goddamn brutal - the shield thing was a very smart move for D3P

Only works for people with HP to burn though!

BTW no ISO tax for skipping for me so far! Is that the case with anyone else?

ALSO ALSO I don't think I'm ever going to get to 1000 SHIELD points in Versus, god!

yeah, i gave up on SHIELD training long ago, too hard now

the thing is, you will get HP if you place in the top 100 of these tourneys, and you also get HP rewards just by going up the ladder at X tourney points, so factor that in. in this case, i probably got 50 HP from the tourney ladder and 100 from the rewards at the end - if i spent 100HP on the 3 hour shield i've would've stll come out profiting. but since i had nothing else to do tonight, i just grinded it out till the end

this was a much easier decision for that tourney where the 3hr shield only cost 50HP. those bastards

ISO tax is there for me sometimes, other times not. Weird.

The bracket that I'm in, it doesn't look like I'll be reaching the HP progression reward, especially now since we have only one shot at beating the opponent.

This guy OTM.

if they did that they're probably make the boost drops even rarer to compensate

First in Big Thunder, of course 21 hours left...

And since I've never been in this position before, does the "never fight below your rank" strategy not apply anymore when you're #1?

still applies. remember you're fighting people from all the different brackets, not just your group.

Didn't realize that you could fight other brackets -- thanks!

So after being on the verge of breaking 1000 in SHIELD Vs., finally reached it (last night I was literally 118 hit points away from reaching it), I got my Doom cover and was disappointed that level 15 Imagine Dragons only brings like 70 damage per turn right now.

Broke 100 points in the Oscorp Heroic, almost entirely from re-playing that second stage.

lol Lvl 15 Imagine Dragons. don't worry, you're gonna love him when Lightning Rounds come back around, so sick
