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.
― ulysses, Saturday, 12 March 2016 03:15 (eight years ago) link
yeah i have him sitting in my queue already so it's like hey, free cover
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Saturday, 12 March 2016 04:14 (eight years ago) link
vision is still the worst 3* imo
― remove butt (abanana), Saturday, 12 March 2016 04:19 (eight years ago) link
worse than rags or mohawk? nah, at least vision has the big red blast.
― droit au butt (Euler), Saturday, 12 March 2016 06:15 (eight years ago) link
his yellow despackling power is situationally useful too, the poor man's version of Teen Jean's
― Nhex, Saturday, 12 March 2016 06:22 (eight years ago) link
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.
― droit au butt (Euler), Saturday, 12 March 2016 07:15 (eight years ago) link
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.
― remove butt (abanana), Saturday, 12 March 2016 15:34 (eight years ago) link
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.
― droit au butt (Euler), Saturday, 12 March 2016 16:35 (eight years ago) link
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.
― ulysses, Saturday, 12 March 2016 17:40 (eight years ago) link
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.
― ulysses, Saturday, 12 March 2016 17:42 (eight years ago) link
She-Hulk rules for nuking enemy ISO and stealing special tiles; the AOE board shake is additional gravy
― i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Saturday, 12 March 2016 17:55 (eight years ago) link
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. :\
― Sorry To Be The Bearer Of Bad Poos (Leee), Saturday, 12 March 2016 18:24 (eight years ago) link
Beat the 4* node today only because I accidentally tapped on the FIGHT NOW button and I had a boost equipped.
― Sorry To Be The Bearer Of Bad Poos (Leee), Sunday, 13 March 2016 21:47 (eight years ago) link
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.
― remove butt (abanana), Sunday, 13 March 2016 22:53 (eight years ago) link
Mine was 3/2/2, and a guy on the forum said he beat it with 1/1/2(!).
― Sorry To Be The Bearer Of Bad Poos (Leee), Monday, 14 March 2016 00:35 (eight years ago) link
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)

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
― Nhex, Monday, 14 March 2016 07:14 (eight years ago) link
tomorrow? ouch. i have done 20k in a day but it's not fun.
― remove butt (abanana), Monday, 14 March 2016 07:51 (eight years ago) link
"not fun" ≠ don't do it. 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...)
― Sorry To Be The Bearer Of Bad Poos (Leee), Monday, 14 March 2016 17:25 (eight years ago) link
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...

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

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.
― droit au butt (Euler), Thursday, 17 March 2016 17:40 (eight years ago) link
the grind on pve is ridiculous
yeah
make every pve like the gauntlet
wait what

― Sorry To Be The Bearer Of Bad Poos (Leee), Thursday, 17 March 2016 17:45 (eight years ago) link
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.
― droit au butt (Euler), Thursday, 17 March 2016 17:47 (eight years ago) link
the gauntlet is a meat grinder
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Thursday, 17 March 2016 17:50 (eight years ago) link
yeah by "grind" I mean "repetition of the same battle".

Hands up if you pulled Quake out of the simulator
*raises hand*

― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Thursday, 17 March 2016 18:12 (eight years ago) link
Hands up if you earned her like a MAN.*
* By which I mean I think I've found an ideal time to join a PVE so that you can finish in the top 100 without insane grinding, i.e. 4-6 hours after the first slice starts. The last two times I've done that I managed to get into a fairly fresh slice, and for the Simulator, ended up in the top 100 without even getting the Legendary progression. Don't know how long this timing thing will be valid as I jumped into the EOTS PVE about 4 hours after it started and ended up being the 900th player in.

I landed 103 because I forgot to pop in the last hour and do a couple more matches

someone in my alliance spent $200 to fish for Quake in the vault. I got 14 CP and bought a legendary token -- Phoenix, now 2/2/4.

I'm going to try to return the It Girl because I didn't realize Allred didn't write it. Thinking about maybe getting into the nu-Thor or the All-New X-Men (I saw this on the shelf and was like, "Ooh, gotta get that so I can take her to level 188!"), or maybe an Immortal Iron Fist collection (even though I have the first volume in HC already). BTW, Bendis seems to have written EVERYTHING for Marvel.
Anyway, two more Legendary pulls: black Elektra (meh), yellow Ant-Man (less meh). A-a-a-and I championed Vision! I think he fits well with Cage and Fist, too, though I need to drive that team a little bit more.
