if it's still unchecked in your rewards list for that mission, keep grinding. besides you have another 36 hrs~ to do the other set

Meant prologue missions, not featured missions. :-/

btw that crit multiplier is really why modern Hawkeye rules so hard, get a 4 or 5 tile environmental crit in the lab and it's game over

this is such a depressing thing to do and i am actively embarrassed doing it but the only way i feel i am continuing to make progress in this godforsaken treadmill of pointless timewasting is to chronicle my SHOOPERHEWO ROSTER in excruciating detail. it is a coping mechanism.

sitting on a red astonishing wolvie cover cuz i dunno if i wanna go 5/4/5 or 5/5/3 instead of 4/5/4

Ha w should the cap'n be used? Just doest seem to work in most combos I've tried.

Cap works best as a support character doing chip damage and pumping tiles back into other characters IMO; like, you use him to do bits of dmg and hopefully set up a cycle where his he keeps returning piles of red and blue to you so that you can fire off your big dmg characters like Thor. Also his protect ability can be a lifesaver and he has enough HP to be an emergency tank if your big guy goes down

you could probably make yourself close to invulnerable using a levelled Cap and Bullseye together

his protect ability is useful for forcing critical 5-gem combos (see also Magneto Marvel Now's blue power and Black Widow Grey Suit's green power)

cap's blue ability is great just because you can loop stuns by getting one blue match in-between activations, they'll get off one attack from that character every three turns. it's a great shutdown tool

yes, that's how I use cap: pump stuns & red blasts for little cost. and his yellow protect gets so strong that regular attacks won't beat you down (those protect tiles don't help much though when a buffed Thor brings the hammer down)

I think maybe I've gone off the deep end; I started a spreadsheet to get a statistical sample of drop rates from Standard tokens. Please tell me somebody's already done this on the internet so I can stop myself.

Does the hunt Florida keep resetting for anyone else? Not that I'm complaining, I just bang through the trivial/easy missions again for more crystal.

bless you forks

The numbers are actually a little better than my gut estimates. 2* drops at 14%, 3* drops at 3%. I would've guessed worse, but after all those Modern Black Widows and Classic Hawkeyes that's all I can remember.

Amazed that nobody in that sample group got a 4* Wolverine - that was actually one of my earliest drops, though of course I never got another. Invisible Woman hasn't been out for that long.

i've gotten a pair of NOW magnetos recently and that was kinda awesome

Btw, it's easy for them to add player motivation by just making more super hard PVP events and adding characters...

Puzzle & Dragons has this formula on lockdown, they can just copy them exactly for success. P&D even does cross-IP events every so often just to add more monsters (i.e. they just did a Batman: Arkham Origins event with Joker, Batman, Catwoman and Robin pets). They have probably about 1,000 monsters now - don't see Marvel having a problem coming up with an infinite slate of characters and events just on their own. But the bread and butter is the events that happen every single day, multiple intersecting tournaments lasting hours, days, or weeks, some for specific hours of the day, it's pretty nuts.

They haven't released sales numbers but it's hard for me to imagine this game hasn't lured a ton of whales already/isn't super profitable

Marvel NOW Magneto pretty underrated, I think - rarely see him in teams but his abilities are pretty nice

what would Pizza Dog's abilities be, beyond being adorable

NOW Magneto looks a monster levelled up; as soon as i finish daken, that's where I'm going

you guys REALLY want me to read Hawkeye don't ya. well... ok fine i'll pick up this volume 1 from the corner of my room and finally read it

omg dude, no lie Hawkeye is HANDS DOWN the best Marvel book right now

It's basically everything I didn't realize I wanted in a mainstream superhero comic book

obviously he swipes the red/yellow tiles off the board as he steals the pizza
xp

it would be funny if they put in an animation when his HP hits zero where, instead of greying out like the other characters, he runs off with Kate Hawkeye

Pizza Dog turns all red and yellow tiles on the board into pizza, eating them and regaining 29 health per tile. He eats the tiles so completely that they do not generate AP.

Looking at that workbook again, just noticed they had extra sheets for the other types of tokens, nice. Sad LOL at Hunt Heroic tokens with Thor 44.5% drop rate.

my hunt heroic drops have all been hawkeye & thor, ugh

Gods I woke up 2 hours early today because I was thinking about this game.

Misc
- Fixed another occurrence of Events appearing greyed out when they should be active
- Ability UI sounds when full are now 100% less ear shattering

hahahahaha

accidentally played this with the sound on.
never again.

― Strangers look on with a discernible, barely contained ‘wow’. (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, December 11, 2013

i cannot play this game on my iphone and also listen to beyonce on my iphone.

this is serious

whuh. orange.

wait i figured out how to turn down the sound in the settings all is well

Daily deal is 100HP for a Heroic token. Still feels like a waste, but I don't really need any more roster spots at 28, so it's kinda tempting...

DYING FOR HP.

haha you'll pay and get a thor i guarantee its not worth it.

lol so the update seems to nerf buffed hawkeye's huge critical bonus.

Yes I noticed this ;_;

draws seem much better since the patch? I got a Spidey classic on a standard token today and an Invisible Woman (!) on a hunt heroic.

Slow on the uptake: finally realized how useful Bag-Head is when fighting Yelena's bodyguards! Before I was getting pwned when their timers went off.

But: ZOMG ONLY FIVE DAYS UNTIL MY MAGNETO, BLACK WIDOW, ETC. COVERS EXPIRE click click click!!!!

man, really annoying to wake up and see I went from rank 17 to 294 in The Hunt. I want that Punisher cover, dammit! tap tap tap

Euler: I also got a Spidey this morning on a Standard token. Woohoo!

yeah my draws seem better too. pulled another thor on heroic, but my standards have given me a magneto, and a wolverine at least.

not sure how i feel about the doom tourney.

My girl has started asking "are you clucking?" When she sees me on the pad

Lol, "clicking"

tell that technically, you are not clicking anything

I'm really high in the doom tourney (like 16 or 17?) but I figure I'll fall rapidly once the hunt ends tonight alas

otoh I'm presently in position for a PUNISHER cover in the hunt but I'll still be jolly if I pull the triple Wolvie covers (+ get enough hero points for a roster spot for IW)

playing with a level 47 doom paired with wolvie/daken (both in the 50s). i can get destroyed on a bad board, but with a good one i can clean up with very little loss of health. the really nice thing is all the boost tiles can starve out doom's attack tiles.

i'm #1 on the hunt, dunno how well that'll hold out.
i have three red wolvie covers, would prefer two yellow to get that up to 4.

grinding relentlessly to assure my top 50 status in The Hunt. ends in about 75 min
