yeah the ap steal with black is hilarious; maxed hulks become a joke because you save them until last, have enough black for a surgical strike, take them down a bunch but also get enough green to follow it immediately with an xforce. he's downed in one turn from full.

Bought 3- and 8-hour shields, just to get a green Loki. Time for a break dammit.
― Hollinger Escape Plan (Leee), Sunday, 1 February 2015 22:06 (nine years ago) link
Think I've finally lost interest in this. Too hard keeping up with the myriad new ***-star characters as a casual player, while my existing roster languishes without new covers since drop rates are so low.
Mostly, though, it's just that the core match mechanic isn't that fun anymore. With the game as grindy as it is, all those character animations and loading screens make each match into a real drag. I wish there were an option to turn them off.
― Millsner, Sunday, 1 February 2015 23:55 (nine years ago) link
Loki's green passive is pretty great.
― poxy fülvous (abanana), Monday, 2 February 2015 05:55 (nine years ago) link
yeah, those loading screens have often been enough to turn me off the game for a while. portable games like this shouldn't have loading times imo
― Nhex, Monday, 2 February 2015 06:29 (nine years ago) link
top fifty in the season! I get a ten pack for that.
got my Loki to 5-5-3; 3-5-5 the killer build now though. he's my current ISO project.
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 2 February 2015 09:22 (nine years ago) link
Got a green Loki from the tourney, and Red Lady Thor from a Heroic Token from the season ending, good weekend
― Nhex, Monday, 2 February 2015 18:29 (nine years ago) link
pulled a black Cage from my ten pack, nothing else useful. still, have my Loki up to 110ish already.

Is it worth it to respec 2* Daken to 5 blue?
― Nhex, Monday, 2 February 2015 18:39 (nine years ago) link
I have mine 4/4/5, and I really like it. I get big damage (up to 2K+) with blue, and while I'm prone to the health penalty a little more often now, it's rarely a problem.
PS got a Yellow Patch which brings him to 5/4/4, 166'ed my second d00d!
― Hollinger Escape Plan (Leee), Monday, 2 February 2015 18:45 (nine years ago) link
ok, i'll try it. got two Blue Dakens today
― Nhex, Monday, 2 February 2015 18:58 (nine years ago) link
Yeah with 2* daken. I have 3-5-5 lazy Daken and I want 5-5-3 but with 2* Daken no more 2 tiles at 5

I have literally just started this and then read this thread (well, without clicking on "show 3807 hidden posts") - could someone reassure me that if I DGAF about PVP then I'll run out of stuff to do quite quickly?
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 4 February 2015 19:00 (nine years ago) link
I'd just do the PVE stuff until you have some decent ** guys, but eventually you want to do PVP because the rewards are worth it. Also the gameplay isn't any different.
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 4 February 2015 19:10 (nine years ago) link
There are PVE events as well beyond the 5 prologue chapters. Don't worry, this game has a pernicious ability to reward you for mindless grinding.
― Hollinger Escape Plan (Leee), Wednesday, 4 February 2015 19:13 (nine years ago) link
And they re-run the old PVE events constantly. I don't think we've gone without a PVE event running for months now
BTW - for all PVP events, including Lightning Rounds - they throw up some cheap dummy AI opponents to beat up on with lvl 1 characters (you'll figure out which handles these are quickly) - you might as well grind some of those for the iso and rewards
But like poly said, the gameplay is almost exactly the same anyway, just without the ridiculously cheesy story and dialogue

I guess it's working, in that when I stopped on my cycle home a few times, I thought "Hey I could check and see if they're healed" - and then remembered that actually that wouldn't be happening because I had played through the 20% battery warning and the 10% battery warning, standing there beside my bike in the cold parking garage.

I've missed the 8 hour refreshes a couple of times but I'm still floating around the 100 mark
got a Star Lord yesterday on a pve token. sold my 2 star daken & thor to make room
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 16 February 2015 16:40 (nine years ago) link
This PVE has left me with like 5 100+ Onslaught team-ups.

ugh
1 star black widow team ups are where it's at

That makes so much sense! But I never face MBW anymore.
4/1/4 4verine after a lovely green pull -- ugh give me 5 in ~something~ so I can start using this guy.
― Hollinger Escape Plan (Leee), Thursday, 19 February 2015 01:11 (nine years ago) link
Only one 3* cover in my ten-pack, but it was the Luke Cage protect tile one so I'm OK with it.

Was the Daily Deadpool reward the same for everybody? Wasn't too tough for me to grab a Black Panther.

Yeah, same, but my BP still doesn't have any black. :(
Is W4d3W1lson an ilxor? Because he joked that he was always going to send a Devil Dino team-up whenever someone requested them, accidentally or not... and it actually helped me out! Because the only 1* I had on my roster was Storm, which meant I couldn't play the 1*-only node unless I created a new roster spot. Fortunately, I had a few of Juggernauts to spec him to 1/3, but of course he was weak as hell (I actually died once playing that node) -- and that's where Prehistoric Bite saved my bacon!
― Hollinger Escape Plan (Leee), Thursday, 19 February 2015 16:34 (nine years ago) link
haha
all I had was my l23ish Juggsy but I pulled it off first try, maybe used a team up, not sure. was hilarious! haven't tried today's yet. I hope they change all pve to this.
― droit au butt (Euler), Thursday, 19 February 2015 16:58 (nine years ago) link
W4d3 is ilxor Vernon Locke. (just so you don't have to show all messages)

Today's yellow C.Mags was useless to me, but yeah I'm liking this new daily mode as well. The two Heroic-level Taco tokens are a nice sweetener, too.

My Patch is 4/5/4. MPQ wiki seems to think 3/5/5 is optimal. Should I switch powers?
― Nhex, Monday, 23 February 2015 01:07 (nine years ago) link
3/5/5 is more sustainable and 5/3/5 is more powerful. Your choice. I went 5/3/5.
― poxy fülvous (abanana), Monday, 23 February 2015 01:11 (nine years ago) link
My Patch is 5/4/4, and I've died in I think 5-10% of my matches where I was too casual with Berserker Rage. I've also had it save my bacon a bunch of times and/or end matches VERY quickly because of it.
― Hollinger Escape Plan (Leee), Monday, 23 February 2015 01:49 (nine years ago) link
5 in yellow is optimal. after that I think it's pretty up in the air. mine's 4-4-5 but I am afraid of using berserker rage even at 4. I don't typically lose with it, but it can drain my team's health too quickly. I don't really use him anymore.
