oh boy, ads!

Yeah, they added video ads, you get a reward from watching them. I got 1000 ISO and a Heroic token that gave me poop.

dammit i clicked thru AGAIN, i didn't see any video ads tho!

oh lol. vip and recently supporting players automatically get the bonus. guess i outed myself as someone already spending $$$ on this

oh shit, that's how we're playing now. took a long time to load the update btw

you got 1000 iso from an ad? that's actually worth it

+ 10 HP from another!

I got 10 HP twice yesterday, but nothing more. I don't have a problem with ads though. worst case, I skip them, whatever.

drew a purple XFDP yesterday, now 5-2-5, took him to 250. but getting that last cover is gonna be a drag. It's the same for my Nick Fury, who's been sitting at 5-5-2 for a while, and two days ago I drew another blue cover. still, both are totally usable now, buffed at least.

thk u 4 updating this thread rite now

pas de soucis !

Differing opinion: i will be taking a break from mpq again now. It is still fun but masturbatory and i think we are entering an era where we may be asked to work harder. Step one.

Eller, consider spending 120 CP to finish XFDP if you don't see any direct avenues to getting that last cover, he's one of the 4*'s where buying a cover is worth it.

I guess I will, my next 3 star DP gives me a red cover which is already at 5, ugh.

I know this is muy lame-o but can you buy command points directly?

You can't, for better or for worse.

If you start hoarding now, you can get 120 surprisingly quickly. 58+ in a week from two PVES, 15 from getting to 575 inot pvp.

i just got a heroic token for watching a commercial!

how do ppl like 4* ghost rider and 4* iceman? worth ditching carnage and howard the duck for if i can't rustle up the hero points in time?

oh, also a 4* cyclops cover

problem is they all kinda suck at low covers

the commercial rewards are kinda scattered. someone here said they got 1000 HP, sometimes I've gotten 10 HP

someone got 1000 HP!?

Was that me? It was 1000 ISO. I think I've gotten 100 HP, though, but yeah, the ad rewards are completely random.

Iceman is probably my co-favorite 4* in the game along with Cyclops. They're definitely better than Howard and Carnage, though it depends on how many covers you have there.

Ghost Rider is mostly useful in boss fights, but only if you have his black at 4 (borderline usable at 3).

only 2 howard covers and only 1 carnage cover

Iceman rules. I have him at 1/5/1 and he's capable of eliminating horrifying characters by himself (hi dere boosted Rulk/Hulkbuster)

Just wait till you get 5 green for him.

Iceman is useful at 0/3/0 and amazing at 5/5/3.
I am trying to quit this game again. I am 3 days clean.

I am not trying to quit, not at all, but I don't have time right now. I'd have liked to get those Thing covers (in the PVE and PVP) but it ain't gonna happen. He's not a priority for me but I want all the 4 star covers I can get.

Any thoughts on the IW buff?

that blast damage is bananas. i wonder if her bubbles and quicksilver's frozen tiles still get along with each other...

i have her at 8 covers i think so i might boost her a bit to try her out

I have to check, think I have her under leveled at 11 or 12 covers

i guess the buff isn't on yet, mine's at 4/2/4 and still looks exactlyu the same. jsut as well bc i'm saving my iso to get my hulkbuster to 270! will be my second maxed 4* :D

At some point I decided to stop spending ISO until I could either a) max a character or b) buff the required 4* for DDQ to the point where I could easily win

After blowing through a couple of SHIELD levels and recycling some 2*s so I could rebuild them, I was sitting on a max of about 260K; I just recently rechamped CStorm and threw 100K at Jean to get her to 240 to see if that would affect her health in Balance of Power (it didn't) and am now hovering around 100K.

This feels like a drastically different game now that I'm not paralyzed due to lack of ISO.

That's how you know you've made it to the 4* transition. Welcome. :\

IW buff doesn't roll out till tomorrow with the new season. (Also, that's when Dr. Strang3 gets added to tokens, which is why I have 27 Heroics and 8 Elites hoarded.)

suddenly regretting merrily ditching all those IW covers

I guess I'll champ her? I've had her at max covers for probably two years.

one thing that would be really, really nice would be if there was an option to share covers with members of your alliance

like if you are building a 4* and you have maxed out a power but you keep pulling that cover to the exclusion of the others, if there was an option to toss that out to the alliance or someone in the alliance rather than just selling it or letting it expire

OR if you could pay ISO/hero points to transform a cover from one color to another, that would also be nice

signed, someone who is trying to rebuild 2* Bullseye and is stuck at 5-5-1 with no green covers in sight, who also ran into this when rebuilding 2* Johnny Storm but luckily grabbed that final black cover before the three reds that accumulated expired

That would be great for players! But would totally tank impulse purchases.

oh I know it will never be implemented

this is why I could never work on a freemium game, I'd be too inclined to actually make it work rather than intentionally break it so ppl have to pay to progress

i am at 5/1/3 deadpool and have already torched one red, and didn't open the deadpool vault because there was only a red, so i guess they lost a lil bit of money there

same here, I just need a purple to max xfdp (at 5-2-5). have one red in my rewards queue now & I just got a 3 star dp that will give me ANOTHER red xfdp.

I'm saving cps to buy that last cover, on leeeeeeeee's advice, but it'll be a while, probably too long to use at least the first of those extra xfdp covers.

ack i've gotta stop opening heroic packs bc they keep giving me 4* chars I don't have spots for. i just drew a 4* jean grey (purple cover). so now i have 1 cover each of iceman (expires in 4 days), ghost rider (9 days), cyclops (12 days) and jean grey (14 days).

time to pay $$$

ooooor delete devil dinosaur, star-lord, howard the duck and carnage and roster them all?

i've been saving up deadpool tokens and i have 20 savory tokens and the current vault has a yellow invisible woman which iirc can be used to beat the 4* challenge when it comes up (and i have a iw cover already and it just got buffed?) -- what do u guys think, should i spend them all and try to get them (with the risk that i have less than zero spots in case i draw the miles)

lol Mordy I've stopped opening tokens too, not for roster-space reasons but because I've got quite a few 13-cover 4*s without the ISO to champ them.

Incidentally my current token stockpile:
Elite: 10
Heroic: 26
Legendary: 2
Savory: 16
Sweet: 71

To your actual questions: In your situation, Iceman, Cyclops, and Jean are among the best 4*s, you should try to accommodate them on your roster. The GR cover is expendable, sell it for sweet ISO.

I'd sell off:
DD
Howard
Carnage

DD and Howard are both gimmicky 4*s and their covers are only available at certain times during the year. Between the two of them, Howard does have more useful powers, but compared to Iceman, Cyclops, or Jean? He's definitely not worth keeping in a roster crunch. Carnage is probably expendable for you too (he used to be useful as a PVP scarecrow, but I've heard that's not the case anymore).

Keep Star-Lord. He's pretty good now as an AP accelerator.

Lastly, I would not open your tacos right now -- with only 20 banked, the odds of getting that yellow IW are very remote. (I believe the number of tacos you should hoard should be around 80-100 if you want a better than 50/50 chance of nabbing a specific cover from your vault.)

thk u :)

This is something dumb that I should know but: if I hoard taco tokens will they be used for the same vault I have now? Because my current vault has 2 four stars I don't care about presently.

hang onto them, when there's a new vault you can use those tokens on, you can shoot for the new pack of 4*s. just spend em when the vault is active (if it's in the stockpiled mode, it's straight random and i think includes the last pack of 4*s)
