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".

like killing another fucking slime in dragon quest or whatever

Hands up if you pulled Quake out of the simulator

*raises hand*

nice congrats!

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

fml

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.

did they at least get quake?

Haha damn more reason to wince at missing out on your alliance!

they have a 1/0/3 quake so i assume so!

Probably belongs in ILC but whatevs:

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.

i need to champ kamala khan but i am starting to dabble with Luke Cage/Iron Fist/KK and that is a badass collective

Champed Scarlet Witch... pulled a fucking Carnage with the Legendary.

Spent 70K to Champion Deadpool... pulled a Yellow Nova. Feel empty inside.

I got a 14th Iceman cover so i'll be leveling him up this week.
also pulled a 5th logan cover. 2/1/2.
the current test event sucks. the levels are crazy high and the enemies are annoying -- damn you kishu and your caltrops all over the board.

Agreed, even my death lineup of IM40/LCap/(Hood|KK) has trouble against some of these nodes.

Iceman vs Jean Grey is kind of easy? Granted, my Iceman is 0/4/1 but he is also only lvl 74 and I beat the node in my 2nd try with +2 blue/purple, +2 all, +100% dmg boosts after taking I think 2 hits of match dmg from Jean? I had her down to 4K health on my first try with no boosts at all.

In summation, stuns are OP

Yeah, two tries for me, neither time boosted (2/4/1, level 152). I've heard that you could get by the node with a fairly low level, but I figured that I'll be leveling Monster Bobby eventually anyway so I just sank the 40K into him.

Who wanted in on the alliance? I'm ready to kick one or two idlers.

Can I hop back in?

can i invite my non-ilxor gf?

I might be one of your idlers. Work interfering with my MPQ life these days. I will get back on the hamster wheel someday soon, but feel free to kick if you must.
