Don't redeem tokens till you have roster space! Resist the urge to cash them in immediately!

Forgot to mention that I got the black Pun from the Simulator, so now mine is 3/1/3! Approaching usability!

Just redeemed 44 standard tokens:

2 (TWO) Patches, unfortunately, both green.
1 Pun (green)
1 Lazy Cap (yellow :\)
1 Ragnarok (green, sigh -- still don't have a red)

Also a green Ares, first one I've ever pulled from anything.

This game has a unique way of remaining compelling, while still being extremely disappointing. Good job game.

Hah... at least the Simulator is barely keeping me interested

Playing until the 10 pack then I think I'm done - been grinding since the Panther tourney started and struggled to get to 300. I'll be in a fight with 141s for 14 points and be hit for 30 while it's going on. That's no fun.

Damn -- are the only fights you have available to you worth 14 points? You should almost always fight against people who give you at lease 25 points.

Every PVP match now is a team that is better than my team, no matter how many times I skip. Very frustrating.

Tanking helps though it's boring

Yeah, same thing happens to me. I just thought it was because I'd improved enough to get into a new bracket. My Simulation-situation has been dumb as well, have never been under top hundred, and was in top fifty in three out of the first four, and yet I couldn't crack top 300 in acumulation. Which is weird and frustrating and I'll get nothing out of it.

Yeah I haven't been able to place in the top 50 anymore, and like aldo once I get my 10-pack I'm taking a break from this stupid game.

Toying with burning all my HP on covers just for the vicarious thrill, and to incentivise me to quit. I'm about 800 from the 10 pack reward so 2 more tourneys I guess.

Mags classy on a standard pull. Hoorah.

Do-over on that Hood/Maggia set of story missions, with Lazy (Mohawk!) Storm as a reward. Too bad they didn't go with '80s cover art.

simulator let me max my panther to 5/3/5 141 -- my first 141. missed the patch thing entirely basically, so probably won't place well in season II. my simulator token also gave me a yellow sentry -- so he's at 30 now, not that i see using him any time soon.

he's buffed in the Maggia missions, so at least you can use him in that

141'd my IM40, can get BP to 128.

it's been like three weeks since I got a gold star on a standard draw though

That's what you get for leaving our alliance.

oof

he's buffed in the Maggia missions, so at least you can use him in that

buffed sentry is still terrible. need more covers to lessen the self/team damage of his abilities.

I insult because I love.

yeah I don't see how he's gonna be good. I guess red is supposed to be good? I hate offense that hurts my team b/c it just means more health packs, ugh. still wish they'd let me buy a heal speedup for $5, or even $10 if it were a super fast speedup.

i have about 70k iso saved up and i'm getting a little itchy. would there be any benefit to maxing mag now when i've already maxed both storms, obw, **wolv, thor now, and ares? i guess it would be nice to have an obw alternative. the highest number of covers i have for any one *** is four for hood.

3-5-5 maxed MagNow is great, esp with OBW, CStorm, Spidey or really anyone who uses blue for a significant power, plus his red can act as a great auxiliary color battery depending on placement and a cascade initiator.

You know how I said 'fuck this game' before but with a distant-ish end goal?

1) it's 300 points away
2) just played a lvl85 MThor that hit Call The Storm FOUR (4) times before making a single match. Seriously, fuck this game.

with the spidey nerf, magnow/spidey is way less fun. the obw combo is still pretty neat. his red is killer tho.

boosted maxed panther + patch is way fun. race to 12 black, 7 green, then fire off patch into a rage of the panther, and just level the whole opposing team.

thick as thieves is so boring after the simulator.

"2) just played a lvl85 MThor that hit Call The Storm FOUR (4) times before making a single match. Seriously, fuck this game."

Wait, how?

Still wondering when this game will stop being Thor Puzzle Quest. The monotony kills my enthusiasm for it more than anything.

In the Season II Simulator, I'm suddenly running all those 141 Hulks

I have no idea how - I've noticed for a while that the opposing team seem to have a bit of stockpiling at the start, and seen them fire off attacks that I was sure they hadn't collected the AP for but this was just totally blatant,

IW from my heroic on the Sentry tourney, although since I'm 250 from the 10 pack I'll be finished with the game by the weekend.

Ok, I'm done with this fucking game. Got the 10-pack, all two-stars. 10,7% chance for that. One I could use - my Thor is respecked. This game is basically all about luck, where if you're lucky you get a tiny tiny cookie, and if you're unlucky you waste hours grinding without anything to show for it. Fuck this game forever.

yeah I just like the match 3 mechanic for a few plays per day, and have been happily playing them without the sense of progression that MPQ can give when things are going well. so when this one isn't providing that sense, it's still more or less just as enjoyable to me qua game mechanic: click click click, get some matches, etc. it could never be a consuming game for me, but I don't want consuming games at this point in my life. ffs I still play Tiny Tower.

You're doing in right... There is no sense of progression in this fucking game, just grind grind grind, get another Juggernaut-cover.

I got my 10 pack about the same time as you, all 2* as well. Bought one of each card from the sales, XForce, Fat Thor and Patch. Feels to me like the 'luck' has changed to those buying HP. Going to blast through the rest of my HP and ISO buying cards, laugh at how imbalanced the results are, then delete the app. The constant connection factor means even as a dumb match 3 there are limitations on when you can play it, so it doesn't work for me in that respect either.

Euler has the right attitude. Once I stopped trying to compete in PVP the game becomes fun again

Well, getting alliance HP from PVP is ok, as is the two-star token given as a progression reward, though they never ever give three-star-charcters. But yeah, trying to get into top 50 is stupid, also because more than half of them end at six AM for me. Amazing they can't just let them run, like, 26 hours, and have them turn round the clock.

yeah now that I'm in Europe I can see that making the top 50 is going to require buying an 8 hour shield, which I guess I'll do if I happen to be in the top 50 (might happen in starfall) but o/w whatever. just leveling up the covers I have would be nice, and once I get a new cover it takes a while to level it up anew. no rush.

My recent luck pulling 3* covers from standard tokens and the fact that I'm still a few thousand points from the 10-pack guarantee that I'm still going to play this stupid game for another month.

There's only a week left in Season II, so I don't think I'm going to make the 10-pack reward this time

It's really like hey Story missions, cool... PVP, endless onslaught of 141 Classic Mags

Get on the Funbalance train, Mags

I hate 141 cmags less than 141 hulk. at least sometimes with cmags he doesn't get off a purple. but with hulk, as soon as I bash him, it's cascade city.

have you tried either using a stun team (Spidey, C. Storm) or attack tile team (Doom, Punisher, Psylocke + generator like Daken, Wolvie) to get around that ability? Spidey usually gets me around Hulk, though there's always that annoying unlucky cascade that will kill you

for C.Mags it's not just that aggraving purple, but that all his abilities are so cheap AND disruptive - the 2AP red smash, the blue armor titles

even with shit spidey?

attack tile teams are my thing, and I win against 141 hulk p much every time, but I come out too bruised, have to eat up health packs

I like to leave Hulk for last and then take him down in a single turn, usually with Patch's red.

that would be nice! with strike tiles my 141 5-5-3 IM40 can sometimes take him out in one hit with a unibeam. sometimes.

yeah, always save Hulk for last, avoid full-team attacks unless you can stun him

So I've actually been suckered back into this. Hoping for the 10-pack -- currently at 3500 of 5000 so who knows. Covers this week:

Human Torch 5th red - yay, leveled up to 85
XF Wolvie yellow - boo
IM40 blue
GSBW purple
