the gauntlet is a meat grinder

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

Hands up if you pulled Quake out of the simulator

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.

did they at least get quake?
― yellow despackling power (Will M.), Thursday, 17 March 2016 20:51 (eight years ago) link
Haha damn more reason to wince at missing out on your alliance!
― Sorry To Be The Bearer Of Bad Poos (Leee), Thursday, 17 March 2016 20:53 (eight years ago) link
they have a 1/0/3 quake so i assume so!

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
― ulysses, Sunday, 20 March 2016 03:21 (eight years ago) link
Champed Scarlet Witch... pulled a fucking Carnage with the Legendary.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Sunday, 20 March 2016 17:01 (eight years ago) link
Spent 70K to Champion Deadpool... pulled a Yellow Nova. Feel empty inside.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 09:44 (eight years ago) link
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.
― remove butt (abanana), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 10:05 (eight years ago) link
Agreed, even my death lineup of IM40/LCap/(Hood|KK) has trouble against some of these nodes.
― Sorry To Be The Bearer Of Bad Poos (Leee), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 15:48 (eight years ago) link
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
― i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 11:32 (eight years ago) link
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.

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.

Waiting on the Stevie's responseAnd Millsner(d) you're ok, i'm talking about the guys who have been idle for weeks
― Nhex, Friday, 25 March 2016 08:00 (eight years ago) link
I've decided that I'm going to champion all my 3*s (except Colossus) because they'd be useful at 166 and/or their cover rewards look worthwhile (except Colossus): http://marvelpuzzlequest.wikia.com/wiki/Champion
Psylocke might be the first(!), since I already have a cover of hers and she's coming up in DDQ.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Monday, 28 March 2016 20:43 (eight years ago) link
i'll kick open two slots tonight, will post here when i do so
― Nhex, Monday, 28 March 2016 20:51 (eight years ago) link
I championed Iceman -- my third 4* champ and by far the best. He's great with Old Man Logan. Now I'm maxing out Beast because I've got 5 of his covers waiting to expire. Beast turned out to be great in survival nodes, who knew?
Cyke 4/2/2 vs. HB was hard but I managed to eke out a win using AP boosts.
― remove butt (abanana), Tuesday, 29 March 2016 02:07 (eight years ago) link
fell asleep and forgot about the roster. i'll try again tomorrow, figured it's probably best to open the slots at a reasonable time for people
― Nhex, Tuesday, 29 March 2016 07:15 (eight years ago) link
I'm leveling Blade so I can champion him; next will be either Deadpool or Mystique (aka the other two cards I have in my queue); just champed SWitch.
I may be ready to start leveling some of my 4s, especially Jean (5/2/1) and Iceman (0/4/1). Also I REALLY wish I'd stop pulling purple jean covers, or that there was a way to turn a cover into a different color.
― i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Tuesday, 29 March 2016 14:28 (eight years ago) link
DDQ Falcon and drew one this morning, guess he's my next Champion. Only 115k points to go
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Tuesday, 29 March 2016 19:28 (eight years ago) link
2 slots open, join now if you want
― Nhex, Wednesday, 30 March 2016 04:55 (eight years ago) link
You can boot me. Screwed up changing FB accounts and deleted my save, seems like the perfect time to run away from this game.

I assume that's a sandboxed account with some poked in HP, but with all the whales, who knows. I got like 28 CP during the sale from alliance members buying $100 packs.

champed she hulk today, used the cover I'd saved, with < 14 hours left. pulled a 4 star jean gray!
had 20 cps, drew, got a black electra. eh. but 4-4-1 now.
my star lord is getting pretty good (like 4-4-3? something like that). he's buffed in the current pvp & not bad at all. purple + yellow is a nice color combo.
closing in on the 10 pack in season, I didn't play much pvp this season, kinda burned out in that dumb pve, but I'm getting back into the groove
new pvp mmr is brutal for me, though: lots of maxed 4 stars and decent 5 stars already at 100pts. well, I can beat those, but I don't see myself hitting 800+ any time soon. it's ok, current goal is to champ the dumb 3 stars I didn't champ before. next: cap marvel + beast.
― droit au butt (Euler), Saturday, 2 April 2016 10:29 (eight years ago) link
also I've been tearing through the shield sim in the last days as usual, with my l345 1-3-2 Silver Surfer; he slices and dices! a 4 in a row blue with a critical tile does 3000+ dam. his red costs 7, does 2700+ dam, and charges 2 tiles, which adds to the damage (or goes with lady thor who despite champing I rarely use, gotta change that).
― droit au butt (Euler), Saturday, 2 April 2016 10:31 (eight years ago) link
Hit 2K in the Simulator, got my first Gwen. Incidentally, I'm going to be hitting back on all the retaliations I'm going to get in the next few days, just to farm ISO.
10-pack:IFVisionLokiElektra
Also finished championing my Lil Daken.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Saturday, 2 April 2016 23:58 (eight years ago) link
10 pack: kingpin yellow, at 2-0-5. a little frustrating because that ups the likelihood of a wasted cover. But I like the prospect of him being playable. He annoys me as an opponent.
― droit au butt (Euler), Sunday, 3 April 2016 05:43 (eight years ago) link
New alliance just tipped me onto a new way of squeezing out a little more ISO from unwanted/unneeded covers. If you have two covers of the same color, start a new character from scratch and then level them up to level 49 -- you'll earn 466 extra ISO than just selling the covers off individually.
2000 (from selling) - 500 * 2 (from covers) - 534 (from leveling)
And if you have three covers of the same color, do the same thing, but level up to 62 to earn an extra 1466.
