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

so sick of high level ares/juggs/moonstone teams in thick as thieves. just a big scaling slog.

as far as newer ***s go,

falcon at 3/3/1, daken *** at 2/2/2, lthor 1/2/5, sentry at 2/2/1

Plowed through the thick as thieves tournament. Got all the progression awards maxed out my hulk. Whoops!

Likewise. I was happy that the progression awards grind wasn't overly onerous this time.

Haven't deleted the app, but haven't started it up since Saturday. Feel liberated.

Checking the d3p forums this morning, seems like the latest update has put everyone facing lv270 opponents instead of 141s?

I have a fight against two 270s, Hood & Cmags I think. to which hahahahahahahaha. I barely beat it when they were 120 last night.

haven't gotten a three star from a gold token draw since season two began, kind of a drag really because I've had so many of them (like we're talking 30+ at this point)

yeah, they blew it

welp got my red Hulk card from Thick As Thieves, will to continue playing subsiding

i'm.. sorta close enough... around #300, where if I grind up to #200 I can get a Lazy Storm, so I'm kinda hanging in there

Because I chose to, you know, do stuff at work and play with my kids, I'm hovering around 1000

pff LIFE, come on

So it's not just me - LThor's green seems to be broken.

so we have an open slot or two available due to the leaving ppl in the alliance right? there's a dude at work who wants to join one

Yeah, kick me out and he can have mine.

nah nah nah i made him join a random one. just thought there might be one if a bunch of ppl had already left, but f that, ilxfactor is for ilxors

plus tbh he might embarrass me

Neckbread shaming.

idk how alliances work but it looks like this game is here to stay in my life so if there's a spot for me i'll take it

You get (10 * # of alliance-mates who played yesterday) ISO everyday and usually some combination of ISO, HP, and recruit tokens after events.

What's the favored Ares build for 5 green? 5/3/5?

yeah 5 green, 5 yellow

don't think i'm gonna make that Top 200 after all, the scaling pushback is too tough. should've known something like this would happen when we all hit the prize limit early

I manned up and uninstalled 10 minutes ago. FREE I TELL YOU

just got the heroic ten pack: 9 two stars and a red x force. sad lol

my 10-pack:
Invisible Woman green, now at 0/2/2
IM40 blue, now at 3/5/5. 5 yellow still makes him bad.
Fat Thor red - already maxed out, sold
7 2* covers - sold

Nothing I'll be using in the near future, but not terrible.

I'm not even going for the 10 pack. I can't live with the disappointment. Plus I HATE grinding on PVP. 20 to 40 points at a time, argh.
