I wonder if that will fix most of the problems? I got to rank 6 barely trying, but who knows how it will work tomorrow.

Somehow I suspect I'm not facing a legit player here. Somehow I don't think I'd be winning this fight. EDIT: However, normal PVP is well worth exploiting. The point threshold awards mostly suck, but every fight you win is worth 70 / 140 ISOs no matter who you're fighting, and by shopping around for opponents you can clean house time after time. I'm using a nondescript team of Iron Man 26 / Storm Classic 17 / Thor 16 and I'm closing in on the top 100 ranks. It helps that even a very good enemy team is severely gimped by being on defense. They can't use boosts, they can't target specific opponents like a human can, and they use the brain-dead CPU AI that has no idea what to prioritize. delfin fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Oct 20, 2013 |

The AI will usually match four over an obvious match five and free turn. Sometimes you get ridiculous things though like when Storm's board shuffle ability yielded enough greens and free turns to let the AI use the ability five times in a row giving the AI 35+ of every color and stunning my entire team. (I still won due to a major level disparity, but it was incredibly close)

Holy crap, pulled X-Force Wolverine (yellow) from a heroic draw this morning. Just in terms of HP and damage output, even at level 1 (where I'm assuming he'll remain), that dude is a BEAST. My missions literally jumped down two difficulty levels. If I could only get his strike tiles power....

The enemy team took out my Storm and Venom from full hp in 1 turn, then chain stunned my Iron Man for more than 15 turns...

EDIT: Got my poo poo kicked in by a team where everyone was 10 levels below mine and dropped from 910 to 880. I'm not going to get the 100 hero points (or Yelow Spidey), am I?

Every time I get very high I start being farmed hard by guys twice my score. I've just been saving up skill gains for free heals on leveling. I figured I'd blow them all right before the end to see if I could jump up the ranks high enough to grab a decent prize.

Got this game a few days ago and it's strangely addictive, to the point where I rather grab the tablet than play with KSP's new update. I do have a couple of questions: 1- this thing murders my N7 2013's battery, is it normal? It doesn't seem normal. 2- I grabbed one of those heroic lotteries for 150 coins and got a dude called The Hood. First of all, I could swear this guy was DC; second, he's never going past level 1, is he? It appears even a few real world bucks wouldn't do much good.

Yeah, the 150 random hero lottery is a bit too random to rely on. If you want a specific hero, wait for a particular event that gives out only that hero on sale, i.e. last week you had Thor and Storm available on their own, this weekend its uh... villains and hero 1 stars I guess.

Is Bullseye worth holding onto? Hawkeye is bad enough and even though he's two-stars he's not great.

So there's a DC Red Hood and a Marvel Hood-that-happens-to-be-red? Alright.SynthOrange posted:Yeah, the 150 random hero lottery is a bit too random to rely on.

You can get Captain America in the 1-star event. I'm almost in my bracket's top 10 Getting specific heroes isn't my issue, though, it's leveling the characters after you get them. Even Thor (who I got for free for no apparent reason) - a 2-star hero - is stuck at level 4 while Iron Man and co. are all in their twenties.

I'm starting to rethink Daken. I've been coming up against him in the Dark Avengers chapter and each of his strike tiles adds 30 damage, and you get one per combo. That really started to add up quickly. Still, he's at a ridiculous level and I'd have to get tons of daken cards to be that effective.

God I hate him in that chapter when he gets green special tile goons, forcing you to keep inflating the poo poo out of his regular attacks just to avoid blowing up rows. seravid posted:So there's a DC Red Hood and a Marvel Hood-that-happens-to-be-red? Alright.

I like Daken, but you can only level his abilities up to 5 before you start needing to pay coins.

Some big changes coming up http://www.d3pforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=72 Looks pretty good: Easier to level up 2 & 3 star characters so people will actually use them, reducing # of covers required from 20 to 5 to get rid of the intermediate ability upgrade steps, no more escalating ability upgrade costs, daily rewards, less "20 ISO-8" rewards from farming. On the other hand they are removing the ability to upgrade 1 star cards with ISO-8.

That sounds baller as gently caress, but I now feel like I should grind out the Prologue covers as soon as possible.

Wonder if they're going to reset the Prologue missions because of deleted covers. Sometimes its just not worth keeping some covers around.

This is a strange weekend event. It really depends on what bracket you're in as to whether you'll get anything -- I'm using a really mediocre 1* team and just hit #5 (522 points) in my group. Doubt I'll hang on for the Blue-Red Cap but top 50 should be pretty easy.
|
# ? Oct 21, 2013 02:13 |

The top 10 in my group ranges from 686 to 826 so I kinda hit a plateau where everyone has teams with stuff like level 30 Iron Man that would overpower me. There's just not enough time left to level anything up or work up to more prizes now.

I'm not even trying in this tournament and I'm 9th in my bracket with 2 hours left. My team just got beat to a pulp though in my last fight- only Iron Man survived with a mighty 56 health, so I may be done for the evening..

As I said before, I think the random 150g rolls are way too random to expect anything out of them. I really do want a Spider Man classic so I can do my own healing stuff, but I'll wait for a Spidey event to improve my odds.

My pool of 200 people is really tough. Basically everyone has level 20+ iron man. e: Come on, it happened again. I had a full HP Storm, Venom, and 400 HP Iron Man up against 200 HP each Black Widow and Storm. Black Widow started a combo that lasted over 1 minute (I know because my phone screen turns off after 1 minute) which led to all 3 of my team being stunned for several turns, and I died without being able to do any more damage at all. fart simpson fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Oct 21, 2013 |

The trick is having a level 30+ Iron Man (Iron Man seriously needs nerfing or other people's damage skills need buffing because he is the cornerstone of every single team I see)

Well, my Iron Man is level 26, so I can compete but I can't usually just grind out 5 wins in a row without healing.
