that's why I'm sticking with Punisher for these events - otherwise you're stuck with Loki, Moonstone, Bullseye, or OBW (passive) to counter the black. the Doom strike tiles are nuts in this, hitting for 250+ per tile/turn!I'm still in the top 50 in my main bracket, but struggling to stay relevant in these newer subevents. it helps that I rushed like crazy when the event started last week, i don't think i'd be anywhere close if not for that

i think the PvE missions (well, as long as you can do them - I straight up can't do the ~200 lvled ones often, depending on the roster) are worth grinding at least for the 500 iso reward, the rest aren't too enticing
― Nhex, Friday, 28 February 2014 17:18 (ten years ago) link
I try to grind out the Standard tokens as well, any significant points I get (i.e. > 1) are an added bonus.
I probably shouldn't hold my breath for alliances at some point allowing you to pool rewards look extra covers, right?
― eeeLuvium (Leee), Friday, 28 February 2014 17:20 (ten years ago) link
it's too early to tell, D3P doesn't even seem to have any kind of plan in place. i'd be surprised if there Alliance PVP and rewards wasn't coming
― Nhex, Friday, 28 February 2014 17:27 (ten years ago) link
it is odd how much they appear to be making this up as they go along

What is the best classic storm configuration? I am at 4/4/5 but just pulled a card that'd let me change blue
― have a nice blood (mh), Friday, 28 February 2014 17:31 (ten years ago) link
until this tourney I was pretty down on my cstorm 5-3-5, because of the yellow nerf, but the nerf jacked up the yellow megadamage when you're super low & it's saved my ass a few times this tourney, when I get bashed by a merciless crush but survive, and storm knocks out ~2000 damage to all enemies.
still think I'd rather have 5-5-3 though.
― Euler, Friday, 28 February 2014 17:34 (ten years ago) link
I was thinking of something weird like 3/5/5
― have a nice blood (mh), Friday, 28 February 2014 17:35 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, that is weird, though I guess if you're not too devoted about clearing the board, you can underdevelop her green.
― eeeLuvium (Leee), Friday, 28 February 2014 17:37 (ten years ago) link
big storm green gets a nice board reset, a bunch of ap, and in PvE can take out enough countdowns to save yr ass
but 5 blue would be the main thing and if that's what I got in cards, I'd go with it.
― Euler, Friday, 28 February 2014 17:38 (ten years ago) link
OK, I just realized why I thought classic storm's green was mediocre -- it only really kicks in at 5. hrrrrm.
― have a nice blood (mh), Friday, 28 February 2014 17:39 (ten years ago) link
I guess what I'm saying is I am at 4/4/5 and pulled a blue cover -- should I use it?
Yes!
― eeeLuvium (Leee), Friday, 28 February 2014 17:40 (ten years ago) link
to do... what
― have a nice blood (mh), Friday, 28 February 2014 17:41 (ten years ago) link
My cstorm is 5/5/3. I wouldn't have it any other way.
― Jeff, Friday, 28 February 2014 17:41 (ten years ago) link
Stun + whole team damage == YES TO BLUE! xp
― eeeLuvium (Leee), Friday, 28 February 2014 17:41 (ten years ago) link
okey dokey
― have a nice blood (mh), Friday, 28 February 2014 17:42 (ten years ago) link
So I go to 4/5/4, right?
Yeah, or 3/5/5. Either way 5 Blue is a must for Classic Storm

BamNow
i was top 2 for the first weekend i was playing this black panther tournament but have slowly decayed over the week :( now just on the outside of top 10. gotta click click click this weekend.
― Jeff Malone, no relation (Will M.), Friday, 28 February 2014 18:29 (ten years ago) link
yeah i fell from top 10 to like 80 now.
can't be bothered to fight the 200+ fights anymore, just don't care enough.
― eric banana (s.clover), Friday, 28 February 2014 18:30 (ten years ago) link
on the other hand, pvp with cmags lvl 90 (4/4/1), patches 100 (5/3/5) and spidey 90 (3/5/5) is awful fun.
one set of strike tiles + a few reds and i can take down anyone.
― eric banana (s.clover), Friday, 28 February 2014 18:57 (ten years ago) link
YAY: I just drew a Patch card off a standard tokenBOO: It's on my phone and I have no roster space
― Wahaca Flocka Flame (DJP), Friday, 28 February 2014 19:03 (ten years ago) link
Feeling you, DJP. :(
And per my question on Alliances:
Any plans to let us share rewards with Alliance members instead of/in addition to Facebook friends?Nothing planned for near term, no. That's one of my personal crusades as well. Not everyone has or wants to use Facebook after all.

Pulled a red Psylocke!

dittomagnow up to 74 and you guys convinced me to go from 5 blue 3 red to 3 blue 5 red
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 1 March 2014 05:51 (ten years ago) link
5 red in magnow is amazing when it goes off.
― eric banana (s.clover), Saturday, 1 March 2014 06:17 (ten years ago) link
Got to the root pulls from last night. Both magnow purples. Which I've already maxed out. BlAah
― Jeff, Saturday, 1 March 2014 11:52 (ten years ago) link
I hate fighting the hood.
― Jeff, Saturday, 1 March 2014 12:20 (ten years ago) link
Same. May be a good candidate along with Daken and Bullseye to use to deter people from playing your team in PVP?
I'm actually in a position to snatch the top prize in two PVE subevents! This has never happened to me before.
― Lee with three E's (Leee), Saturday, 1 March 2014 18:44 (ten years ago) link
I was #1 in the Colombia event last night! my first #1. got two assault team tokens from that, and one from the other event; pulled a blue cstorm, a red magnow, and something lame; but I needed those two.
these two latest ones are brutal, though. I'm winning, mostly, but having to rest/grind a bunch to do the next round.
― Euler, Saturday, 1 March 2014 18:50 (ten years ago) link
Sent my 1st FB gift to MH. Looks like it now only shows those who play MPQ.
― Jeff, Saturday, 1 March 2014 18:52 (ten years ago) link
I'm about to max out Daken -- who should I focus on next among the following?
Thor L45 (of 53) 2/3/4Cap L46 (of 85) 3/5/52* Wolvie L41 (of 69) 5/3/3CStorm L39 (of 45) 3/2/3Magnow L22 (of 22) 2/1/2
― Lee with three E's (Leee), Saturday, 1 March 2014 19:07 (ten years ago) link
I'd probably do cstorm.
1st in my ISO 8 Spain bracket. But 9 hours to golololol
― Jeff, Saturday, 1 March 2014 19:36 (ten years ago) link
2* wolvie probably the most use for you right now, since you will max him out in powers soonishcap is a solid tank to have in the roster and you already have him powered outc. storm when you're able to get 5 blue or 5 green though
― Nhex, Saturday, 1 March 2014 19:39 (ten years ago) link
Listen to Nhex. I didn't even look at the cover distribution.
― Jeff, Saturday, 1 March 2014 19:46 (ten years ago) link
these ~200 lvl Hood/Doom missions are so frustrating
― Nhex, Saturday, 1 March 2014 20:05 (ten years ago) link
ugh. any strats for that 180ish Moonstone/Hood/Ares gate to the last set of missions?
― Nhex, Sunday, 2 March 2014 06:24 (ten years ago) link
only 63 for me (NY you mean)?
not sure how the scaling works in this game
― Euler, Sunday, 2 March 2014 13:48 (ten years ago) link
i'd do thor over wolvie at this point.
― eric banana (s.clover), Sunday, 2 March 2014 14:22 (ten years ago) link
my MagNow is at 4-3-4 and I drew a blue cover; should I hold out for a different build or use the blue?
― Euler, Sunday, 2 March 2014 15:00 (ten years ago) link
on hood/moonstone/ares you always gotta take down hood first. the trick here is you need to simultaneously get red/yellow/green denial so neither moonstone or ares can nail you.
if you have some stunlock, better to keep throwing it at hood so he can't whittle away your AP while you go after him.
haven't tackled this yet -- i'm at 230/230/230 and i can see winning but not without at least one of my guys going down, probably more.
― eric banana (s.clover), Sunday, 2 March 2014 15:00 (ten years ago) link
euler -- you can respect now, so use the blue if you need it to level. but 3/5/5 is i think the only way to go for magnow.
― eric banana (s.clover), Sunday, 2 March 2014 15:01 (ten years ago) link
ok 3-5-5 is the optimal build; yeah I can respec eventually but don't need the levels now: finishing my cstorm and then I guess I'll turn to him or spidey
― Euler, Sunday, 2 March 2014 15:03 (ten years ago) link
I'm getting so fucking annoyed with this PvE. Just the teams your face are so ANNOYING. Hood, juggernauts stupid headbutt, Doom, etc.
I need more FB friends sending me things, add me. I only post on FB once a year, so I won't be annoying on your timeline.
― Jeff, Sunday, 2 March 2014 19:24 (ten years ago) link
Maxed my magsnow. So now I have maxed wolvie, Thor, OBW, cStorm. Who next.
― Jeff, Sunday, 2 March 2014 19:53 (ten years ago) link
Huh, random. I got 25HP from a Standard Token.
