I should have just blown my 1600 hero points on cover space last night.

Well, poo poo. I have high hopes that R42 cover change/collection thing he mentioned will make up for the price hike. The devs have been pretty good with taking one step back and two steps forward, like the health kit thing, or before that the need for less covers to max powers (when they took a bunch of them as rewards out).

Yeah. Overall though I think the game's been making good steady progress and is definitely a lot more fun these days than it used to be. Still rough edged at parts and other parts where they clearly have to make a profit. Going for a 150 coin increase is a tiny bit much though.

I have to say, seeing how they're rejigging the game as we play it, it makes me not really want to spend money on this game.

I hope it's not some bullshit PVP bonus for having more characters in your cover collection.

There's certainly precedent, in Marvel games alone, such as Avengers Alliance (which I just started dicking around with after doing the facebook thing for this game). That one seems quite cynical. Then again, there's Marvel Heroes, where you get a (PVE) bonus for each hero of a certain level (limit of 10 applying at once). That one's quite well done though, certainly not overpowering or a cash grab. drat I play too many f2p Marvel games. The scary part is that there are still more out there.

Yeah, of course most of the time you train those covers right out, but at least they won't go straight into the depths of the cache, no matter how deep it goes. Probably asking a lot but if they did some kind of "collection" storage, that is, here are your x-men covers, here are your avengers, here are your dark avengers, etc. and each had like 3 covers to store, expanded by coins, that'd be over all neat. If each Coin purchase was like a 4th card for all collections, a fifth, and so on. But like I said, I'm just a dreamer. Chuds McGreedy fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Nov 14, 2013 |

Boosted Hood is crazy with environment tiles. He gets 10 per tile and his crit is 11x, if you crit match environment tiles, that's 330 environment tiles. Shwqa posted:Oh cool cover slots cost more now Why did I save up my hero points instead of spending it on cover space straight away. I would have ended up spending it on cover space in the end anyway.

Lightning rounds aren't even worth doing until you're dudes are leveled. Hey alright almost to the 250 token reward *three teams of dudes 20-30 levels higher than me hit me for -25 each"  oh

Playing strategic on these late night Lightning Rounds, aiming for black daken on this one and mainly attacking people who seem like they got to reward plateaus and stopped like 50-62 points, 250-265 points.

Lightning rounds are almost always worth it for at least a couple fights for the easy rewards at the bottom. I have no idea how to rank high enough for cover rewards. On the other hand, I finally hit the 1 spot in Thornament today AND got the 1000-point reward on the same win. Got me that classic Storm green cover I've been looking for and now she's 5-3-5.

The Thornament boost loading strategy is working well for the Lightning rounds. Loading up on +all and +red/yellow means that you can quickly finish off matches and earn points faster than by going without. I got up to 20ish in a lightning round before I had to take a break. (or rather my lunch break was over and I had to get back to work )

I love how any team with a Thor and no Classic Storm is pretty much a free win in these Lightning Tournaments. Match an environment tile, Loki gets whacked, bad guys fall down. Thor gets a bunch of free red AP to start chaining red/yellow hammers. Repeat as necessary.

Okay, better strategy: Use the swamp map and match up everything with your villain! The minor boost can be used for +5 AP everywhere. The major one? Turns all green and environment tiles red, drains all enemy AP. It's a red hammer smashing bonanza.

Turns all green and environment tiles red, drains all enemy AP. It's a red hammer smashing bonanza. Yeah swamp tiles are amazing in lightning rounds. They shove Loki out front to eat hits to trigger Storm's passive and generate huge amounts of free AP to start Thor chains too. So good. Edit for clarity: The reason high level Thors make this so much easier is they deal enough damage on a normal tile match to trigger Storm's passive when hitting Loki/whatever free villain you get. It's common to get back-to-back Storm triggers *and* a use of the swamp tiles +5 all AP in the first two turns of a match. Makes mopping up that 4-5k leftover Thor a snap. Super quick fights too.

They really pile on the events towards the end of the week, this is loving great! Perfect line up of characters there too, getting a break from big rear end ragnaroks? Hell yes, please. Edit: Black Daken Cover at 3 hundo, awesome! Edit 2: Oh, I guess it doesn't matter about the ragnarok thing, my mind went automatically towards PVP.

I was just shooting for some free ISO/tokens in the Doom round. Made the mistake of going against a team with a high level Doom. He cast his summon demons ability, and each tile was hitting me for over 500. Not doing that again!

Are health packs common? I find that I do one battle and my key guys are all injured, it's kind of a pain. Obviously it's a free to play game and timers are going to be all over it, but I'm not sure how to do multiple Lightning Round matches without burning through health packs.

sheeeeeeit, just managed to sneak into #83 with 1 minute left to go in that LR. Come to mama, black Daken. Getting 300+ gets pretty hairy when attacks are flyng in.triplexpac posted:Are health packs common? I find that I do one battle and my key guys are all injured, it's kind of a pain. Have you farmed the pve chapters? There are health pack rewards in quite a few missions.

So, uh, currently the rewards aren't being checked off as attained in this juggernaut thing. There are 50 coin mission rewards. You can repeat missions.

Finally this heroic mode brings something where I won't get repeatedly attacked. Also it has a black daken that is a lot easier to attain at your own speed.

Cool. I just replayed that one 2 more times and got the coins. All you have to do is get the red AP before juggernaut goes nuts and iron man takes him down easy. EDIT: and now they give me a level 4 black widow instead of iron man. JHVH-1 fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Nov 14, 2013 |

The difficulty seems all over the place, too. First, you fight a buffed up Juggernaut, then some normal level soldiers, then at the end holy gently caress it's Ragnarok. Almost beat the Ragnarok + Daken fight, the one with the Thor rewards. Still need me a couple of red Thors, so that would have been sweet. Vs a high level Ragnarok, though, nothing's ever certain.

Kinda annoying. Hawkeye modern can play but my other 2 leveled up ones aren't included. Very limited options with this one EDIT: Now I go back to the first one after doing one of the other missions and the Iron Man 40 is back again.

The diminishing returns on repeating fights means you're gonna need to keep fighting ragnarok + daken to place high. Oh, and daken is level 112.

You know I was just saying this game didn't have enough Thor and Cstorm. I'm glad they are forcing everyone to use Thor not only in the tournament but also for heroic mode.

I don't know how long it'll take them to figure out this repeating bonuses thing, but until then I'm going to keep killing level 20 Juggernaut for Hero Points.
