So what's a good number of cover spaces to have? I'm at 20 and just pulled my first Ragnarok and will be probably getting 2 Patch Wolverine covers so I'm trying to decide who to dump. Any of these worth keeping? - Daken 5/2 - Moonstone 3/5/4 - Bullseye 5/3 - Iron Man 35 5/5/3

I'm at 29 slots and a few HP short for the 30th. Should be enough room for one of everybody (for now). Whether that's a good answer to your question...

Ditch IM35, there's no reason to keep him if you have Thorverine, which I assume you do because everyone does.

Hmm, I guess I'll ditch my IM35 for the new wolverine. Came #3 in the last event, really annoyed because I was 70 points ahead of everyone with less than one minute remaining. I wish the stats updated accurately. Screwed out of 400HP. On the plus side, I managed to guess the faces of everyone of my unknown facebook friends, and now have my link back for my secondary account! Yay. I wish you could link the Steam version to facebook (then i'd make a second fakebook account!),

Man, that was annoying that both Rage + Ruin and Savage Lands ended at the same time, so I had to choose between them. Patch doesn't look very interesting so I decided to get Ares up to 3/2/4.

Two hours ago I got bored of playing at ~900 (#8) while grinding my way up to 1200 for a green Punisher cover. I just started it up expecting a top 100 consolation prize - I got a pop up saying I'd lost >200 points and then one saying I was a top 15 finisher

Patch is probably going to be the new go to wolvie after amazing gets the nerf. Is rags even worth keeping on the roster anymore or should I dump my 1/5 that I am still pretty salty about dumping a bunch of HP into?

10th in my Ares bracket had 1300 points, so I just went for top 45. Sitting 4th with 55600 in my Hunt bracket. The last 3 Hunt sub-events are going to need to be worth a shitload of points for the Punisher red to be attainable.

Haha, holy poo poo, I might crack 20,000 tomorrow. I didn't realize I had slacked so much until I got top 10 in a sub-bracket tonight by clearing all the missions and doing one or two replays.

Didn't think I'd have the time to put more work in Rage & Ruin due to family stuff, but that ended earlier than expected and I had enough time to get into top 15 from top 45 in the last hour and a half. On the downside, this meant I didn't focus on the Hunt sub-event that ended at the same time and fell to top 400. On the plus side, the Heroic gave me an Iron Man 40 Yellow, but I dunno whether to use it or to keep IM40 at 2 Yellow.

Nice! Top 5'ed the Ares thing with little effort and my savage land heroic token was yet another 4* wolverine. up to 6/13 covers. Also got two green GSBW covers off normal token this week bringing her up to 4 in green.

I, for one, am OK with skips being taken away/nerfed/penalized/whatever, so long as the other change, where I can actually be matched with guys ahead of me in rankings, also goes into effect. Most of the time I'm skipping someone, it's because they're like, 200 points less than me and if I attack them, I'll probably wind up losing points when they retaliate, and never gain any momentum whatsoever.

Most of the time I skip it's because it's vs some guy wiht a lvl 140 spidey/punisher and a maxed whoever is featured. This happens 90% of the time and the reward is usually ~10pts, though hopefully the 'improved matchmaking' will address this.

The vast vast majority of the time I skip it's because I've been matched with someone lower than me. Even during the last Ares tournament I was skipping four to five times just to get matched with someone that wouldn't immediately slam me for twice the points I gained. If they want to encourage people not to skip, maybe code their matchmaking so that it can't present you with a losing situation you now have to pay to get out of.

Yuck, I really don't want to pay iso to skip an 8 point match, but it's also not worth my time to play one. Their matchmaking better be a poo poo load better if they're going to charge for losses. Also, without the ability to break through the crabbing, I'm a little dubious at the highly inflated 2400 point top rewards being viable.

I'm so loving mad. I was top 10 in one of the last events. woke up an hour after the event happened and all I got was the gold token. how the gently caress did I get knocked down so fast? I'm just gonna end up with Ares just like thor and wolverine where they all just have 4 in 2 skills and suck poo poo.

Are they going to charge for skipping a retaliation? Because that would be rather bullshit. As a newer player I have been able to use skips to get into top 15 in a few tournaments and normally get into top 100. I have a 39 Thor, 22 Spiderman and 22 Wolverine. I also have a 50 Iron Man 35 and a 50 Storm Modern, that get some action while the others heal up, though Storm and Thor can rip some people up. I think these changes are going to be good for people near the top, but poo poo for a newbie who is cleaver with timing. If by small they mean like under 10 ISO then yeah I don't think it'll be too big of a deal, but still I like to be able to level poo poo, its mostly what I use the events for. It will also make SHIELD even more impossible to get the top end stuff. I think I'd feel better about it if you got free skips when the event started and every hour or so you got a few more free skips, like how med packs work.

I added a few of you on fake Facebook, especially those nearer to the bottom of the list. Please accept my friendship, friends. Edit: in every single tournament I always get matched up with someone named bacon magic as my very first opponent, does this happen to anyone else? messagemode1 fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Jan 18, 2014 |

I think baconmagic, battle angel, haiguzd00m, etc... are non-player seed opponents for players with low match making rankings. They usually start showing up for me if I've intentionally tanked a few lightning rounds and I've never seen them have any points.

Charging to skip is just going to hurt newer players and casuals. The new player experience is already fairly bad and that just makes it worse.

Not always, but Bacon Magic (with @s, right?) does pop up quite often. And there's someone along the lines of "a pretty pair of Hawkeyes" or something reasonably often. Didn't think they might be some kind of CPU opponent but it makes sense. Or maybe they just suck.

Same as always, boys, poo poo at a wall. One of the few redeeming features of shields was that the low cost made them at least reasonably accessible to all -- you could spend 50 to have a much better chance of getting 75 or 100 back. So now they're going to make it easier for people with 1500 to get attacked by people with 200, and then either charge them ISO to avoid a point death spiral or charge them twice as many HPs to try to avoid it in the first place. Keen-o! I did pull two Patches last night without shielding. Thought about it once I cracked 1200, but then some bastard with 800 attacked me twice and pulled me down out of Top 5 range and it wasn't worth it to guard up. beaner69 posted:Something I'd like to see is only the featured character in lightning rounds be buffed, not all of them.

Possible stupid noob question (only been playing a few days): what determines the characters that represent you (to someone else) when you come up in the tournament? Is it the last team you used? Your highest level folks? Something something algorithm?

 Got the three Storm Classic covers from round 1 of Rage and Ruin. Now I just need to pull that off again for round 2 and I'll have the start of a pretty good team member. I'm still rocking IM35 and Black Widow for my other two, does anyone have any advice for covers to look out for to replace them other than what's in the OP? I just started playing maybe a week ago so I'm not super far progressed in anything, but Iron Man is starting to show his age and Widow is pretty much there for her stun at this point.

Thor and wolverine are the two you want, you can get a few covers for each in the prologue missions. They are two of the top heroes in the game, at least right now. Both of them are getting nerfed soon, though. Do as many hunt missions as you can as late to their finishing time as you can, you'll probably be able to pick up a heroic token that might give you something good.

This list should be pretty good. Rag has been nerfed since then, I don't have one but most people seem to act like he's worthless outside of lightning rounds. I'm always of the opinion in games that people overreact when something so powerful falls down to average, which is probably where he is in actuality. Sadly he's 3 star so its kinda poo poo to be average. Having only played a few weeks myself Storm Modern is pretty easy to get max covers on, Level 50 IM35 and storm modern make a pretty good fallback team, or main team. Black Widow is really nice early but once you get a few 2 stars at 25-30 and some 1 star level 50s she's not very good, since you are often taking a 3rd that isn't of your choice. I mean if you can pick all 3 Widow makes a good 3rd. Thor and Wolverine are the standard awesome team. Spider Man is also really awesome. Storm Classic is a ton of fun too. I think you're selling IM35 a bit short if you don't have a lot of covers. at 5/5/3 you can deal 950 damage with red and shield a ton of damage with his yellow. gently caress the freeze ray its expensive, though it does pack a punch. You are pretty much going to need Thor if you want to get some high rank finishes.
