goddamnit. still can't beat that NY mission, and I dropped out my Top 75 bracket, so I won't even get a Black Panther card at this rate. ffffffffffffff

finally beat it, with enough boosts and spidey/im40/punisher. a few more hours to grind, cut cut cut

I need the nerds to unlock the 1000 ISO mission on NY.

got both the 1000 drops, cstorm up to 84, fuck yeah

have been in the top 50 overall off and on, mostly off, but people are gunning hard tonight so I'm probably only gonna get one panther, but still

shielded at #5 in psy (was at #3 and two people passed me). I have 647 pts. #10 is shielded at 540. I hope nobody breaks and tries to pass me in the next hour, but i have a feeling i'll probably fall down to top 15. If I place top 50 in pve I'll get another two panthers there and be 1/1/2. Ah well, black is his strongest color anyway...

My ranking in the main ISO 8 tour is.. 616!

I'm at 108. Not even going to try to get to 100000 to get the 2000 ISO reward.

mh SPOOKY!

Pulled a second 4* Wolverine, now he's 0/0/2! Goes well with my 2/0/0 Patch. One Wolvie with no offense, and another with no healing. Thanks, MPQ!

I don't have wireless and an iPod, so I basically only play this game at my parents. Played a lot yesterday, so much that I surprisingly ended top 75 and won a black panther, as well as 1200 iso, hundred HP and 8 tokens. But well, I have no room for Black Panther, and only 175 HP with 200 needed. So now I'm thinking I need to go to the library anyway, to get some Deleuze for a study group, and then I can play Marvel Puzzle Quest there. I live a complicated life!

I hear that Deleuze is the next character to get unlocked after Black Panther

They already have a 2* Guattari variant though.

I think I have some rage issues with this game. The cascades that my opponent often get can just be ridiculous. I want to throw my phone into a polar vortex then.

Don't play the original puzzle quest then.

I thought the cascades were getting pretty bad this weekend; wonder if they have a setting that can let the AI look ahead a couple of turns and that they turn that in later rounds of tourneys

we're playing a digital slot machine, so i have no doubt the "luck" slider can get cranked this way or that

I was single figures in the last event with 3 1/2 hours to go, went to sleep and ended up without a Black Panther. Game feels really stacked against non-Americans.

I had my worst ever cascade today, I was playing with AstWolv and Thor (both of which are in the 70s) in the BP tourney vs maxed MBW and 1* Storm. Should have been over in no time with next to no health loss, right? I made THREE matches then it cascaded TO ViCTORY. Wiped out Wolvie and BP before the tiles stopped falling (that's, what, about 4000 points?) then wiped Thor out with stun lock and specials.

yeah I've had that too

re slanted against non-Americans: I think some of the earlier tourneys ended in the middle of the night USA time? so maybe they vary that?

it didn't seem like the action in the brotherhood tourney really heated up at the end, unlike the PvP tourneys which just get nuts in the last 20-30 mins

It seems to vary; most end at midnight for me (EST), others 7 am, others 5 pm, etc.

I hit the Brotherhood hard over he weekend so that I would be safely in BP territory, shows what I know. Obviously I didn't see the end, but I was watching the score a around me as I moved up and it felt like I was passing people who weren't playing. I suppose I should have realised if I was doing it then so were other people.

Everything for about the past three weeks has finished at 3-4am UK time.

Black Panther's black ability seems pretty insane. At level 100 it does 3000 damage to the entire team.

Is anyone actually coming out ahead when they're getting attacked overnight in PVP? Is it a change in scoring, or is my max OBW/Daken combo just that formidable?

Since they made it one and done, it's been a lot easier to gain those kinds of wins in PvP. You're probably catching people offguard, not expecting that to be a good combo - that's usually how I end up losing in PvP nowadays. You need a stunner or attack tile generator to kill Lvl 69 Daken, and you don't see him that often.

also if you don't manage to take down obw before she fires off a blue or purple you're often toast. and similarly if daken throws out a bunch of strike tiles and obw hits for double you might accidentally be toast.

the constant 230 grind in pve has now made me somewhat more comfortable with getting tossed against lvl 120+ teams in pvp. in my mmr bracket i'm starting to see lots of spidey/patch combos like mine. panther so far is sort of a scrub. but i have yet to run into a seriously leveled one. (hit one at 77 but basically kept him on stunlock. neither the blue nor yellow skills caused me the least bit of trouble).

accidentally left my phone at home, rip MPQ

not a bad time, there's only one PVP going on anyway

i'm finding taking one or two days of barely playing this per week is a good tonic to continue playing

OTM.

Nice breakdown on 1*, 2*, and 3* characters: http://www.d3pforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3939

Disable the tutorial, using the gears icon on the splash screen, and you can save 50HP that you would otherwise be forced to spend on a Hawkeye or BW cover.

Argh I didn't know you could do this.

Good to know I haven't been pumping Iso into the wrong two star characters.

Starting to regret all those two star Daken cards I threw away

oh no the 50hp I wasted forever ago

I sold a bunch of Dakens, now I have him maxed, his covers aren't too hard to come by.

You'll get plenty of Dakens, don't worry
What do you guys think of his assertion that OBW should go 3/5/5 (weakest on AP steal Purple ability)?

that's what i did and i think she's awesome that way.
boosting the purple also makes the ap cost way higher.

I use her so much with magnow, I never need her purple anyway.

that too. one level away from maxing magnow out!

whatcha think for next: hulk (current 35, current max at 77) or classic storm (current 31, current max at 85)?
kinda feel like it's time to transition to 3 star fighters and there's a hulk battle on the way...

hmm.. Hulk will probably get a buff for that tourney, plus you'll probably get more Hulk cards at the end, so i say go for it

sold

weakest on steal means fastest and most reliable to get it out. an early purple, even at less AP steal, will set you up great for the rest of the match.

Hmm, you guys sound right. Damn. Shouldn't have sold off that Black OBW card I got last week, I figured I would respec to 5/5/3.

at max black and max level, she hits for a bonus 122 points of damage every time she matches black/purple/blue

I wouldn't sweat it too much, because the flipside is that 11 AP isn't prohibitively harder to reach, especially with Espionage, which means at most 3 total matches (versus at least 2 at 3/5/5), and after you do, you're probably a couple more matches away from getting enough to trigger it again.

xpost yeah the strike tiles + 5 Espionage = true love

Really hope this spot holds in the panther tourney, in 6th place and need top 15 to get another blue cover for IM40... he'll be 5/4/2 if I get it :O

oh shit, three star Thor

Aw heck, I didn't get attacked so I might as well count that chicken before it hatches.

I don't think I've done one of these in a while....

95 / IM40      *** 5/4/2
85 / Thor      **  4/4/5
85 / AWolv     **  4/5/4 <-- dumb mistake, will respec back to 5/5/3
85 / MagNow    **  3/5/5
85 / OBW       **  4/5/4 <-- on my way to 3/5/5
69 / Daken     **  5/5 
69 / Spidey    *** 2/2/4
45 / Hulk      *** 5/0/3
45 / Moonstone **  5/5/3
40 / Juggs     *   5/5
38 / XWolv     ****0/2/0
34 / Hood      *** 2/4/1 <-- no idea why i hit so many hood covers...
32 / MStorm    *   5/3/5
32 / Doom      *** 4/0   <-- ;_;
31 / Cap       **  5/5/3
28 / Hawkeye   **  5/5/3
28 / Big Pun   *** 0/2/4 
28 / Psylocke  *** 1/2/0
25 / Rags      *** 3/0
22 / Ares      **  4/0/4
20 / Panther   *** 1/1/1
18 / Patch     *** 1/1/0
15 / GBW       *** 0/2/0
15 / Loki      *** 2/0
15 / Daredevil *** 0/1/0
15 / CMags     *** 0/0/1
12 / CStorm    **  3/5/5
 9 / Venom     *   5/5
 6 / BAGMAN    **  4/1/5

why does 3 star thor look exactly liek 2 star thor? am i missing something???

are they just making a new thor that is as good as the old thor, after nerfing the old one? ooooh people will NOT like that
