i just hit my 13th cover (and 14th cover, because i wanted to respec from 4/5/4 to 3/5/5 last night)! i've really liked magnow for a while, love how many covers they've been giving me lately. got him up to 67 or so, boy does that red do damage when he's got that 100% boost or whatever it is... i have a feeling i'll be disappointed after this event. but 9 purple -> 5 blue conversion w/ a free critical tile is disgusting. I love it.

I've gotten like 4 or 5 Mag Now covers over the last week through tokens and rewards. naturally, none of them are the one I need for respec, Purple

anyone see the error message? scary shit

for the past week or so, every time I win a heroic coin from an event, I've been getting standard coins instead
ultimately I don't care because lol free game but it's annoying

same here
― Nhex, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 16:32 (twelve years ago)
It's not a Heroic token that becomes a Standard after the expiration date? It starts off as a Standard?? D:
― eeeLuvium (Leee), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 16:34 (twelve years ago)
you're supposed to get Heroic or Assault Team special tokens for placing high in the daily Brotherhood events, but they just give you standard tokens
― Nhex, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 16:37 (twelve years ago)
mine have been heroic/2 star tokens but they may as well not have been

same -- nothin' but storm, already maxed out
― qwop zapatos (abanana), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 17:14 (twelve years ago)
i got one of those gold "standard" tokens the other day in addition to three actual standard tokens... somehow my 4 pulls had 3 ** -- probably small sample size if nobody else got good pulls from their high-ranked standard pulls...?
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 17:31 (twelve years ago)
got two gold ** tokens from the last two events, and just drew them: a Psylocke & a purple MagNow! things are looking up around here

Okay, Nhex i know but who is Jex, Jheath and Scv in the ILX-Factor group? Lemme know or I'm gonna kick you and invite ILX joinees
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 20:51 (twelve years ago)
Jheath = Jeff
― sent as gassed to onto rt dominance (DJP), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 20:51 (twelve years ago)
Scv = s.clover?
― sent as gassed to onto rt dominance (DJP), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 20:52 (twelve years ago)
dan, you're not in?
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 20:52 (twelve years ago)
kick Jex tho so I can join :-D
Yo soy Jex
― Euler, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 20:52 (twelve years ago)
I would have joined as either djperry or Maggott, depending on which team I wanted to share with others (djperry is a stronger team but Maggott is named after Maggott)
― sent as gassed to onto rt dominance (DJP), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 20:53 (twelve years ago)
so Euler, Jeff, Sclover, Nhex and me? Is that accurate?
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 20:56 (twelve years ago)
yep
― Euler, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 21:22 (twelve years ago)
Yes, I'm in.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 21:25 (twelve years ago)
is it still max 5 ppl? boo urns
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 22:04 (twelve years ago)
it's a dumb restriction for sure
― Euler, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 22:05 (twelve years ago)
hopefully it'll open up shortly
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 22:06 (twelve years ago)
otherwise: WARRING ILX FACTIONS
btw I feel so dumb for having mostly ignored OBW until this current tourney, because she is amazing. think I said she will be nerfed but I dunno, her hp are pretty low, so I'm not sure about that anymore
running OBW + CStorm + someone tanky is working out really well for me. call me captain obvious, sentinel of liberty
― Euler, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 22:08 (twelve years ago)
yep, djp otm on who i is.
― eric banana (s.clover), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 22:24 (twelve years ago)
I maxed OBW out thanks to this tourney and i want to make an alt that is 5/3/5 instead of 5/5/3 (the joy of running different teams on different devices, lol)
― sent as gassed to onto rt dominance (DJP), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 22:32 (twelve years ago)
my OBW is 4-3-5 and I'm gonna go for 5-3-5, because I'm killing it on the purple drain already & the cycling with 5 purple is going to be sick
― Euler, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 22:47 (twelve years ago)
I'm going to respec my OBW to 3/5/5 once I get a cover. Currently 4/5/5, which is fine, but now that I'm using magsnow purple all the time, the 4 isn't really needed.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 22:49 (twelve years ago)
4/5/5? I'm reporting you!
― eeeLuvium (Leee), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 22:53 (twelve years ago)
doh, 4/5/4 I mean.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 22:55 (twelve years ago)
yeah, mine's at 5/5/3 right now... am I misremembering or did OBW not have a black power when I started her? I feel like I had her at 5/4 before I even noticed espionage...
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 23:36 (twelve years ago)
Yeah, she was a two-power character at first.
― eeeLuvium (Leee), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 23:43 (twelve years ago)
Got an xforce wolvie on a standard pull. Now I just need to get lucky about 8 more times.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 26 February 2014 19:52 (twelve years ago)
i've had a particularly shitty run of token pulls; I don't think i've gotten anything that i could use in about a week.
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 26 February 2014 19:54 (twelve years ago)
landed a hulk red and i'm now 5/2/5. whoo. also just placed not great in psy tourney but still got a blue mags, putting me at 4/5/1 which is usable finally, if barely so.
― eric banana (s.clover), Thursday, 27 February 2014 05:35 (twelve years ago)
(cmags that is)
― eric banana (s.clover), Thursday, 27 February 2014 05:36 (twelve years ago)
Maybe because of all the bugs from the past week, but a bunch of my standard tokens got converted to Heroic tokens today (like, 18). Not as good as the Assault Team special tokens I should've gotten, but still, better than nothing.
― Nhex, Thursday, 27 February 2014 05:54 (twelve years ago)
CStorm/MagNow/Spidey is a FANTASTIC team
― sent as gassed to onto rt dominance (DJP), Thursday, 27 February 2014 13:30 (twelve years ago)
Fighter/resource gatherer/healer

yer right, it's a GREAT team, i'm pumping more iso into Mags Now
― Nhex, Thursday, 27 February 2014 15:07 (twelve years ago)
who tanks in that team?
― Euler, Thursday, 27 February 2014 15:17 (twelve years ago)
storm, i would guess
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 27 February 2014 15:20 (twelve years ago)
Spidey, essentially. You go for as much blue and yellow as you can, throwing out enough Spidey stuns to slow their dmg output to where it's manageable for the team and so that when their first character drops, you can heal back up to full. If you can take down that first opposing member without losing anyone, the match is effectively over and you win because you can then use Spidey to stun-lock the other two opposing characters and heal incidental damage while generating tons of blue with MagNow's purple, using CStorm's green to periodically reset the board (and gather extra tiles).
also with that combo there's no interference or backlash with MagNow's red, which is a rigorous backhand to whomever you are trying to burn down that can trigger fantastic cascades for you
all that's missing is a character for black; if Punisher's Molotov Cocktail targeted black instead of red I'd consider swapping out CStorm for him because if you can get three up that put an attack tile on the board every turn, your damage output gets silly (although it feels much more effective if you have Pun grouped with a strike tile character, esp. Daken or AstWolvie because it seems that every tick gets that bonus dmg and you can get to the point where a turn with a single match knocks off well over 1K)
― sent as gassed to onto rt dominance (DJP), Thursday, 27 February 2014 15:22 (twelve years ago)
(CStorm does end up taking the most dmg initially but I suspect some of that is due to my character levels: 61 CStorm/51 Spidey/32 MagNow)
