Phew. Clocked in at #14 w/3 minutes to go, used a 75HP shield, still landed in the Top 15. Got a 100HP as part of the reward, so I get the two Mags cards + still profit $$

took my eye off the ball and fell to 52 goddammit

"took my eye off the ball" == participated in essential biological functions?

he was keeping his eye on the ball, then

I'm pretty sure the people making top 50 now are either really lucky with their timing or are robots

this simulation stuff is a pretty good way to build a team up from nothing quickly

Did you guys ever spend real moneys or are you just stone cold grinding? Im having problems building up a decent team with all the random covers I've been getting.. both 2 and 3 stars..

"took my eye off the ball" = got some work done, yes

don't ask forks about money

stone cold grinding, never-ending; my standard recruit token spreadsheet is up to 395

it'll all come in time, you just gotten keep getting those tokens and iso efficiently (i.e. rarely using health packs). don't forget to use heal missions like the early Spider-Man/Venom ones until you get a healer character. I still use the last Venom prologue mission to heal my top-tier guys every match or two. also i got a crapload of my tokens from just doing three matches in a Lightning Round, you just need to get to 50 points

pff work come on bro

if I felt like grinding I'd use heal missions but I basically just make as much progress as I can using the health packs I have a few times a day and that's my extent of gameplay

Why would you not use health packs (sez the guy who's had 40+ a few weeks ago and is at 30+ ATM)?

as long as you're "gaining" a health pack (waiting on one to regenerate) you're fine, but you don't want to blow through all your health packs in less than... 90 minutes? Maybe a little longer, however long it takes to get back all five

that said, you shouldn't sit on health packs above 5, because then you're wasting the potential health pack you could have "earned" by having it regenerate. SO BURN THEM ALL, LEE. BURN THEM.

You clearly don't work for D3 because if you did, you wouldn't be giving away such gems for free. You are an officer and a gentleman!

just a fellow junkie, good sir

Nhex otm, ever having more than 5 is a waste because you're throwing away every one that could regenerate

Blowing through all of them in 90 minutes is completely logical if you're going to take a break and not play the game for the next 90 minutes

was at 19 in DD this morning, raced up to 6 before I started getting hit, clawed my way to 4 with 1.5 hrs left, and shielded. checked in 10 minutes before tourney end and saw I had been passed and now was at 6. Queued up one good target, boosted to heck, broke my shield, hit the target and threw up another shield with 8 min left. nailed all 3 mags covers including my first purple. drama!

otm about these events being good to build characters... I'm about to get OGBW up to lv83

The simulation specifically has really good rewards and yet is mega mega easy as long as you have one or two of the characters with buffs. I have an unleveled three star Hulk and an unleveled two star Cap'n and they are fucken wailing on dudes.

throwing boosted hulk against patch was hella fun. after he fired off his green, a few hits sent hulk popping off greens left and right and basically ended the game in 1 turn.

i feel like they are (intelligently) trying to present players with alt wolvie/thor/ogbw matchups so you can see how boss some of these characters can be

latest tourneys have gotten me back on the daken boat, so I'm just leveling him up steadily this tourney

xpost, also like using xforce just to keep patch off my team, bagman to force me to go sans spidey, etc. after the last few disasters this is a generally very well structured pve.

def. agreed

oh yeah, they definitely picked up the pieces well. everybody needed a boost.

It's making me wish I'd upped C Storm way earlier, but as of now, she's going to be stuck behind Daken (and then 2* Wolvie(!)) in my ISO queue.

And I will still rep for Cap, I think once you average out his Red ability, it's pretty high (and repeatable!) damage, but maybe I'm stanning for him because I've got him at L46.

there are a bunch of characters that are great that no one ever played because of the Rag/Thor/AstWolvie/CStorm/OBW shadow IMO (modHawk is still way better than ppl think, esp if matched up with dmg sponges and/or IM40)

I have no IM40 :(

I am slowly getting more modern hawkeye, though!

had a couple really nice plays with dd in the tourney too. he's so hit-and-miss but taking out a lvl 90 spidey with one match or grabbing 5ap each because you anticipated the AI is really satisfying. can't see him entering my regular rotation though.

i can see the devs slowly making the game better for slow-build characters like IM40, Cap, Modern Hawkeye, etc. Or alternatively, nerfing the fast characters, like they've already done with Thorverine and such

still terrified of DD, if he gets up a trap it's like nooooooo

I've actually been decent at predicting where the trap gets laid, though I usually avoid all of that trap's colors in general (at least when I remember to).

So, squeezed a quick game in this morning and discovered that I got three whole Moonstone covers. Grrr, LET THE MAGNETO NERFING BEGIN.

OTOH, perhaps now I will have room and opportunity to add the Moonchild to my roster (four covers sitting in my queue).

NERF MAGNETO.

I got a blue OWB cover yesterday! now have her at 4-3-5. what's the consensus on the best build for her?

OBW I mean, not Occupy West Baltimore

my ogbw is at 3/5/5 and I wouldn't have her any other way honestly.

3/5/5 on the reasoning that her purple is optimized between cost and stealing at 3, and that the more she has in blue and black, the better.

AKA wait for the respec.

sung to the tune of "on to the next one"

I went 5-5-3 because I wanted to steal an entire rainbow of colors

I would agree, or go 5/3/5. I went 4/5/4 and wish I'd stuck at 3 for Black (for more damage) or Purple (to facilitate steal looping).

that is, gone to 5 for Black or Purple

magnow 5/5/3 buffed plus ogbw with a 3/5/5 is a crazy unstoppable team.
purple for magnow creates a blue attack and ogbw heals with blue, so any purple or blue match basically leads to healing.
tank with thor in the front and you can match red/yellow/green for offensive + blue/purple for defense
I'm ending most of my matches in this magnet round with full health. At #4 on my leaderboard but easily jumping up to #1 whenever i want.
I am at 84 on ogbw and was gonna work on all the villains levels and hulk but methinks magnow is the next dude to heavy level and work into rotation

yeah 4 blue covers on OBW is boring, but 5 could be good; otoh I think 5-3-5 would be good.

had a battle with bagman this morning & he did his dumb snarky remark attack on his teammate Big Pun's red timer, lol. did it TWICE even.

lol maybe the bag slipped over his eyes.

5 vs 3 in obw purp is if you want cheap early steal or brutal midgame steal. 4 is no good either way.

3/5/5 is how i run with mine, and that works fine. i mainly care about steal not to build brutal ap for myself but just for denial.

Nhex, your post in the Trek thread made me think that we're overdue for a Dazzler card.

haha noooooooo

damn, i want that now
