Took four tries to beat the battle of the Captains. Got a purple Teen Jean out of it. :D

My 0/2/1 Falcap hasn't got a chance.

Oh yeah I pulled a yellow 4Clops from the PVE vault today too. $_$

Daisy Johnson?
Didn't realize they retconned the character in the Agents of SHIELD show to be her, so I guess that's why she's showing up now...

Finally got today's PVE CP on the sixth try, bought a 20CP token, scored an OML. Had to burn Moonstone to make room but she's not much of a loss.

champed my iron fist today, had the extra iso, need another cover for the legendary & who knows who long that'll take, his covers were hard for me to get

still hanging onto #1 in the pve, should get the 25 command points today.

victories in the pve subs have been useful: drew a legendary token on one of my gold event tokens, which got me a blue prof x, so 2-0-0 now! I *really* want a playable prof x, I love his style. if I hang onto #1 in the pve he'll be 3-1-1, not playable but at least on the way.

With today's DDQ, I had two extra Wandas so I finally 166ed and championed her. Got a purple Prof X, who's now 0/2/0 and can become more invisible as a result.

yo, look at quake's green and yellow powers, whooooooooooaaaaaa

actually the blue too, didn't read it right. damn yall, i want quake

for fun i am rolling gsbw/falcon/panther in this pvp since they're all champed and boosted... so far this is great: get as much yellow and purple as possible to get battleplan (and inspiration on battleplan) and use the purple to get some good cascades with gsbw's power... just finished a match in like 10-15 moves which included a sniper rifle into rage of the panther finisher. not often i'm cycling through every dude to do damage knowing i'm gonna aoe blast everyone to hell at the end...

(still using fatcap/im40/hulk usually tho, feels so obvi)

xpost yah she looks v good

I got my 2 year reward of a Silver Surfer cover today. Also my final Iceman cover from a random token -- he is great.

iron fist chmaped today, yaaaaaay!
first mr fantastic cover as reward, booooooo.

blade up next, yaaaaaaaay!
then she-hulk and deadpool in april, not sure if i'll be able to cover the iso, booooooo.

then psylocke, yaaaaaaaaay!
then i am out of 14/13 covers in the pipe, boooooo.

except ragnarok. BOOOOOOO.

still haven't found a roster spot for rags... considering actually ponying up a couple bucks to make room for vision while he's avail in DDQ

oh shit is he? I gotta try that then.

oh wait. i misunderstand.

yeah i have him sitting in my queue already so it's like hey, free cover

vision is still the worst 3* imo

worse than rags or mohawk? nah, at least vision has the big red blast.

his yellow despackling power is situationally useful too, the poor man's version of Teen Jean's

yeah, I haven't decided if I'm going to respec to 4-5-4 or stick at 3-5-5. it wouldn't matter if I champed him but lol.

I 167d my Iron Fist yesterday, got my first Nova, eh.

totally jealous of your Iceman, abanana! I still only have the one cover I got from the initial PVE which I was dumb enough to play.

speaking of, I ended up #2 in the iso-8 tourney, was so boring that I lost #1 on the last day. the other player was just going on and on & I couldn't handle anymore dark avengers. so boring. got 2 prof X covers though, that's nice, at 2-1-1 now, unplayable but in the right direction.

I guess with the crappy state of my 4 star roster maybe I should consider champing the 8 or so cover maxed 3 stars I have left, just for the ISO? I dunno. I've been leveling 5 stars, took Silver Surfer to max at l 345 (where tile damage is already excellent) & phoenix toward 315, her current max. I have few 4 stars worth much iso right now, IW is fully covered & at 167 (have wasted 4 IW covers in the last 3 weeks btw, thanks legendary tokens), and then a bunch I could take to ~160. not sure.

rags: the AI is pretty good with him which makes me think he's underrated.
mohstorm: her black is good -- high damage and it can destroy traps and block special tile placements. still kinda bad as a character.

Euler: I'd champion all 3*s for the tokens. I regret wasting so much Iso on IW -- it's like 200K Iso for one token? not worth it.

yeah I like mohawk's black a lot, it's just that her other powers are bad. too bad, the 1 star storm on the same model was strong before the nerf. I hope they at least make a nice 4 or 5 star storm eventually.

rags yeah that mf messed me up in the dumb pve. I just don't like playing characters with powers that hurt my own team. that's why sentry is the only 3 star I don't have (sold a maxed one back in the day after the nerf).

of the 3 stars I don't have maxed right now: cap marvel is strong, maybe her first, then daredevil or she hulk, not sure after that. beast maybe. middling but they have their uses. and the model 40 buff gives hope.

the only 3 stars I don't have maxed covered are quicksilver and bullseye. need one more cover for bullseye, he seems underrated to me. quicksilver is blah.

FINALLY got a Vision. So that's every 1 / 2 / 3 star in the roster; lacking x-23, Spider Gwen, Miles, Nova, Brock Venom, all the 5 stars but Phoenix and whatever's new guy of the week.

for the three stars, i'm missing between one and three covers for deadpool, quicksilver, rocketgroot, daken, squirrel girl, bullseye, blade, beast and colossus... then most of the covers for doc ock and vision.

She-Hulk rules for nuking enemy ISO and stealing special tiles; the AOE board shake is additional gravy

Shulkie underrated! I still want to try her out with Patch and I guess IM40, where the biggest dilemma is if you want to use red for Patch when IM40 goes to sleep and devastate one enemy, or go for team-wide devastation with Shulkie. TBH though I rarely use her green.

Beast underrated too -- you need to think of him as a cheaper, less power R&G (plus eventually his Jean covers).

Bullseye is fun particularly in survival nodes. I like bringing him with Daken.

I have all 3*s characters, and all are maxed covered. I've champed all but 9 of them, I'm going to feel real weird if I ever seriously consider champing Rags and Sentry.

I have all 4*s except Gwenno, but she's the top prize in the Simulator this season so I'm not going to stress too much. Currently in top 50 of the Quake PVE, too. XFW is cover maxed, Fury and XFDP are both at 12, and after the previous PVE where the X-Forces were buffed, I'm going to pump the two of them up once my 3* priorities are done. Looking at the upcoming DDQ4s, I think I have a fighting chance in just 4 more: X-23, Jean, Iceman, and maybe Miles. (Considering that I only beat 4 nodes during the first cycle, I'm more than content with my performance so far.)

I drew my third 5* cover this week -- which also happened to be my third red Phoenix. :\

Beat the 4* node today only because I accidentally tapped on the FIGHT NOW button and I had a boost equipped.

JG vs. Moonstone isn't going well for my 2/2/2 JG -- but I see that a few in the d3 forum have done it at that level.

Mine was 3/2/2, and a guy on the forum said he beat it with 1/1/2(!).

I just beat Moonstone with a 5/2/1 lvl 111 Jean Grey. Took several tries but the boosts helped (2x dmg all, +2 all, +2 blue/purple)

i've always wanted this thread to generate a new dn for me, finally 6000 posts later it delivers

hah! :D not gonna lie i was proud of that one

i have two mohawk storms expiring tomorrow, do i actually try to grind another 20K iso to champ her or just sell 'em

tomorrow? ouch. i have done 20k in a day but it's not fun.

"not fun" ≠ don't do it. 3 star covers grow on trees now

3 star covers grow on trees now

No kidding -- I've got 5 Visions now in queue! (As much as it pains me to agree with selling Mohawks...)

lol and of course today's reward is yet another mohawk storm

If anyone's got 50k or more points in the PVE for Quake, you can join the alliance I'm in, AllNewAvengers, and get the alliance cover.

Huh, my alliance is looking like it might fall out of the top 100, and I have 54K...

We're currently at #101 with 18 members...

Just tried to search for AllNewAvengers, but I got no results.

It's private I believe. Not sure if they're still taking anyone but you can send a PM to this player: https://d3go.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=12642&p=496602#p496602

was really close to getting that 80k, then remembered I need another 7.5k to champ. screw it, selling the storms

Pretty big changes to the current PVE: https://d3go.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=41414

I'm optimistic? I've hated pve for a long time, maybe this will make it fun (or fun-ish) again? I'd love a style of play that rewarded big, highly-leveled rosters. make every pve like the gauntlet. the grind on pve is ridiculous, where you have to do the same node again & again & again to get anywhere, so boring.

the grind on pve is ridiculous

yeah

make every pve like the gauntlet

wait what

lol

I like the gauntlet! each node once, go as far as you want, that's what determines how good a reward you get, not how you do in relation to other players.

the gauntlet is a meat grinder

yeah by "grind" I mean "repetition of the same battle".
