Okay... Keep your head, Steve boy...

I like that their new event is just "You don't like our rules? Fine, gently caress you."

Two sets of prizes of grey suit black widow as 2-10, and Original black widow under that. I need 4x green covers, and that is for all of 2-10, so hopefully I can get 2 of the covers.

This is the quietest event end I've seen. Dont know if it's the top prize or my level 89 Doom.

Think it's probably your Doom. There were enough 15s out there that you could skip everything else.

Just hoping I hit that #2 sweet spot.

EDIT: gently caress #1

Ugh I was in a slacker bracket with an easy in to the top 10. Timed it perfectly and everything then the game crashes as I'm finishing off Doom. Apparently the game doesn't save anything during a fight so it counts it as a loss. Ended #11.

loving gently caress that's dumb. PAD has no problem saving the game state in case of crashes :smith:

I took this seconds before it ended. I could tell they were throwing matches to lose points.

No tourney is no holds barred, no boosts or restrictions. IW, gray widow, and original widow are rewards. These back to back tournaments are starting to feel lazy.


Edit: :stare: I somehow got second place

Top 5 and my Spidey is 3/5/4. With the speed those web tiles come out now, I think I might go 4/5/4. I got some good lockdown/heal combos in this tournament. I just had to remember if I was setting up a heal lock, don't active Summon Demons during it or everyone will die before you heal.

Too bad there's no option to swap or trade covers with other players. That's two purple spideys I've sold this week that I don't need.

Tourney was very quiet with my lv64 Doom, except the last 5 minutes when everyone was trying to out-tank each other. But this has been a good week: 8 spidey covers collected, now at 3/5/5. Just need 300k iso to bring him up to level :v:

Woo, got second place! It felt like it took forever for the results to come in. My Spidey is 2/2/2 now, and I might just have to drop another 20 bucks in when I get paid Friday to max out his blue. That's worth it, right? Forty bucks total, that's still less than I'd spend on another game. :ohdear:

I'm surprised I was able to compete - my team is a 58 Wolverine, 52 Thor, and the free Doom. I was triple boosting for every fight, but it seemed to be pretty self-sustaining with the progression awards thrown in. I started about 3 hours before the tournament ended, played 7-8 matches straight, and then just had to keep checking in every fifteen minutes or so to steamroll a couple teams with triple boost. I probably won't be able to do much in this week's tournament, though. Starting with tons of AP was the only way to keep from taking much damage each match.

Hell yes, yet another second place winner in this thread. Spidey purp and blue are 1100 and 1300 progression awards for these two back to back tourneys which I'm really hoping to get for my 5/2/2. Between that and lightning rounds this week for hopefully more rag covers, it's shaping up to be a productive 5 days!

I finished second, too, but it was rough due to the top three in my bracket gunning for that spot in the last two minutes. Not bad for someone with a lowly level 18 Doom, though!

That's odd they're not giving any away then while doubling up on the blue. I want one of each color because I have her blue at four already. I'd rather have the covers for her than one green for Grey Widow. I have her awesome purple power maxed already.

Eh, if you compare things to Steam sales everything looks like a bad deal. New, high-production-value games are 40-60 bucks, so the way I value Free to Play vs Pay to Win is whether or not I can have a full gameplay experience for 40-60 bucks.

Although the jury's still out for me on this one, since I don't want to have to put in 20 bucks per 3-star and even more per 4-star. Hmm. :(

They really need to adjust their event rewards. #1 should receive every available reward and #2 should receive everything under it, and so on. That would encourage more people to gun for the top instead of trying to camp a certain reward range.

Have each milestone only give one specific reward so #1 doesn't end up winning 20+ covers or something.

They need to adjust ISO rewards, too. PvE is fine, but the top players in a PvP event get 250 ISO?! With 3-star characters, you eventually have to spend two-to-three thousand per level. I don't even want to know how much it ends up costing for 4-stars.

So, I'm being a complete cock and running Ragnarok/Storm** in the free for all tourney, but who's a good third for using all the spare yellow/black/purple AP?

I'm currently just using Thor so I can throw out his yellow and keep the Storm train going even longer, but is there a better choice?

Yes, I and someone else got one in a standard pack. They're probably just extra rare to trick people into giving up on them.

I dunno, I quite like that the four-star is #1 and they have to forgo the other rewards to get it. It seems stupid only because people are fighting over the top tier second prizes due to them being multiples of a top tier character and the 4-stars not being that amazing at low levels/low covers - if #1 was Punisher and #2 was Moonstones everyone would be gunning for #1 and not give a poo poo about missing out on the Moonstones, and after a few tourneys you'd have a lot of people with good Moonstones and a few with a good Punisher rather than a few people who have a good Punisher and everyone else who doesn't.

I'm thinking the new "meta" on these is going to be joining tournaments early. The Doom tournament tossed me into what I thought was a slacker bracket, but the first few places blew way past my ability to keep up. Meanwhile, I joined the new tournament immediately and I'm leading by a good 80 points, with a few 15-20 point retaliations waiting in the wings. It lets you easily set yourself up as a person to gently caress with, meaning you can retaliate and then earn a bunch more points.

Now I'm just going to wait until the last two hours of the tournament, slingshot my rear end back to #2, and snag those covers.

They really ought to stop loving around with these single-cover first place rewards, though. Make IW a proper 1/1/1 cover reward or don't include her, it's obvious nobody actually tries for her cover during rankings.

To be fair, it was a perfect storm of 1: being over a week long, so you invested quite a bit of time into grinding missions, and 2: completely inexplicable when it came to scoring, especially on the last day when it seemed to stop giving out triple-digit point rewards almost entirely. I could see a lot of people sperging out over missing 1st because all of a sudden their last missions were completely worthless for no obvious reason.

Do they patch hero's? I have like 3 bag-man covers and I already recruited him before I knew better. 120 ISO is like 3 minutes of time, so should I just use the covers and hope one day he doesn't suck, or is it really that dismal?

D3 has shown that they don't mind nerfing skills without notice, and there is some complaining about the 2 AP skills (Spidey Blue and Rags Red) on their forums. So...

I am paralyzed, and am uncomfortable spending any resources on (too) good characters. Rags will be 5/1 and level 67 forever.
