That's probably how the game is designed, aldo.

Yeah, I can see the designers conspiring against me.

Then again, I got Kate Bush tickets today so I win sometimes.

(Seriously though, I placed top 5 in both of the last rounds of the simulator so I'm not that bad.)

Was really waiting for another punisher card or 2. But really I just like saving.

I wish more games had an interest gain on resource saving. There was a tower defense game a few years back that did.

They want you to spend more, buy more - hence the sales. Why would they want you to hoard your capital?

Kate Bush is playing shows again? Dayum

the thing is you really only need a few good 3* boosted guys to get the rest. So you can leverage a cmags/doom into loki, rags, or soforth.

so aldo, mh, poly still need spots, yes? anyone else? trying to see if we have 20 total even.

I was feeling charitable and got some HP to add a slow. Number 11 is open.

add a slot

slot meeee

(i can't do anything with the game until I get home from work though)

What alliance am I searching for? (Thought it was ilx-men, no results)

Poly: You have to apply, then one of us big dicks >_> approves.

Aldo: ILX-Factor!

In!

I was thinking Dan would have no time for this is the next months but who am I kidding, he'll be up all night every night.

cool i'll apply after wurk

antideluvian is in and on.
aldo, you gonna get the next slot?

Antideluvian is me

and thanks Jeff!

yup yup, figured

Immediate effect: in the top Fat Thor hundred.

w00t

Can I just say "fat Thor" is the most delightful phrase

Upcoming Lard of Thunder PVP has Patch rewards! (R+G individually, Y in alliances.)

I am #8, we are #68. Early days, but...

With my one green cover level 23 Thor, I hate the Thor PvP.

I would like to join the alliance as well, but at the moment I don't have wifi at home, and I don't have an iPhone, so I don't play enough to help with anything at all. When I get wifi I would love to join, though, if there's still room.

you can do android too, or do you mean you don't have a smartphone at all and are an unfrozen caveman from 1996

almost didn't notice lard of thunder, well played

what are we calling the steve rogers cover? fat cap? fattain america? captain amerifat?

stupor soldier

fat cap is quite nice

that's impressive

tho fat cap = fedora, surely?

I'm partial w/Blondecap

Yeah, I only have 2 cards on my fat Thor so thattt's not gonna get far

Still, I'll fight to get to #50 at least in my bracket, hopefully keep ILX-Factor in the top 100 so we can get that Patch card - slacked off on getting that Hood card earlier today in the 1* tourney

Wow, lost 121 points in Lard of Thunder away from the game for an hour. I knew staying at #1 would be difficult, but that's ridiculous.

31. Wolverine (X-Force)
32. Bullseye
33. Hawkeye (classic)
34. Bag Man
35. Yelena Belova

Congrats to Bag Man!

3 open roster spots, 375 hp, 2500 or so iso
Feeling a bit like i may have lost my way with this transition to three star characters as I don't really have a cover maxed out 3 star ready to work with. Instead, I'm levelling characters with tourney boosts to better maximize their strengths and taking half steps towards prepping for the moment when i land that fabled spidey/hulk covers

so instead i have 21 guys at level 40 or higher and still don't really have a go-to A team. it's frustrating a little.

i guess i could work on having several more maxed out characters for the ones that i DO have all the covers for? but that feels real pointless.

I'm stuck at this point where I either need to get rid of max'ed *'s or an unleveled ***. It sucks. My max *'s are still pretty helpful and my ***'s are basically useless unless they're buffed.

forks, my A-team is OBW/whoever/whoever. Slightly less facetiously, I just bring someone with a strike tail ability, either Daken or Wolverine.

poly, I've read some guides saying that when your roster is firmly 1*, that you might as well sell 3* covers, because they'll be of no use to you for a long time. I'm not sure if that advice still holds, esp. since they don't sell for HP anymore, but because the transition to 3* is now ~very~ slow, I can attest that all of my 3* covers still aren't used unless they're buffed/required.

I'm still having joy with CStorm/MagNow and whoever, AstWolv plus someone for a backup team. AstWolv surprisingly good with Daken.

I wouldn't say my roster is FIRMLY 1*. My highest **'s are in the 50s. And the ***'s are very helpful if they happen to be required for the current tourney (like Black Panther now).

Which 1*s do you have?

Yelena is an easy call: sell.
Venom is only good if you have Spider-man with a lot of blue covers.
C. Hawkeye and IM35 will never be used once you transition to 2* characters.
Juggernaut: possibly keep, just because he can scare attackers off in PvP.
M. Black Widow has a good stun, so keep her for now.
Keep M. Storm, she is awesome even much later on.

I only have Storm/Widow/Iron Man/Hawkeye

I don't have a ** hawkeye or iron man

2* M. Hawkeye is pretty bad, you don't want him. IM40 is a 3* character so it'll probably be a while before you get him. I'd sell off one of IM35 or C. Hawkeye, your choice.

So you'd get rid of a character you're actively using over a character like, I dunno, Loki, who I have yet to use even once?

Hmmm, Loki is pretty bad. Tough call but I think I'd still sell a 1*.

forks, i say pump iso into IM40. I know he's kind of a boring character, but tankin's tankin' and you have plenty of good 2*s on your roster

OTOH, i've been doing exactly what you've been doing, dribbling out iso to characters here and there, largely based on who's buffed, like Ares or Psylocke in the last round. (i think the devs want you to do this anyway) Main target right now is a capped to 128 GSBW, currently at 98. I can also pump Hulk but it feels unnecessary with a Punisher MAX in my roster already, or I can pump a bunch of 3* guys to 50-70 which largely feels unsatisfying

"Lvl 120" Black Panther is kinda goofy to use

It takes so much luck/effort to get a 3* (though less now, thanks to Alliances) that I would never sell a non-dupe. but i don't know, it also seems harder to get HP now than it used to, when they were given out as sub-event mission rewards in like The Hulk chapter or whatevs
