It's been said, but this game is getting really frustrating in the way that you need X character to unlock Y, and once you get behind in that routine you can never catch up. The Marvel Facebook game had the same kind of thing going on to encourage you to get new characters, but at least it allowed you to outright buy the one you want.

No idea, I could imagine "which covers you have" being harder to manipulate than "how much iso/hp you have". Not saying it *is*, just that however they're doing things, it could be.

That guy is a whale who immediately maxes any new cover he gets. He probably doesn't actually buy tokens because that would be even dumber and wins all his covers legitimately.

Can't you still go to one of the Venom prologue levels that has a Spider-man with blue and yellow powers team up?

Three times today I have been one turn away from victory and then the cpu gets some incredible bullshit cascade that gives it three criticals and around 12 orbs of each color, then it murders me. I know it is just chance but it is annoying as hell. Also, trying to keep your points above 400 with a weak defensive team is just not happening.

Updates on the skip tax: http://www.d3pforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3362 As a summary of what this will look like with R48: - The Victory Bonus begins at +30 Iso for a win - The bonus lowers by 10 Iso per Skip - The bonus disappears at 0, then caps out at -10 Iso per skip after additional skips - The bonus returns to +30 Iso after the match is completed, win or lose - The Victory Bonus is only gained if the Agent is successful in their matchup

chrisf posted:Updates on the skip tax: http://www.d3pforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3362 It looks like you get 3 skips before you start having to pay any iso. 10 isn't a huge amount, and as long as you're not skipping more than 5 times you'll be earning more iso than before. I feel like this is a change in a good direction since it's pretty difficult right now to earn significant amounts of iso from the pvp events.

I wish they would do an MMR reset because I am facing nothing but 100+ Spider-Man/Patch/85OBW teams in this tournament. It took me something like 35 minutes to win a single match but my MMR hasnt budged. I don't have the roster to hang with these people I just won using +3/all before :I

http://www.d3pforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3363 Interestingly, the devs have looked at the skip tax and decided to use a carrot approach instead. If you attack the first person you see, it's a 30 iso bonus, decreasing each time you skip until it's a -5 bonus.

I, I... just used a shield. The shame! In my defense I used it after getting the 50 HP from reaching 500 points so it will only cost me a grand total of 50. The constant retaliations are just too much, and I really want those Spider-man covers (I should end among the top 15, I hope) so I'll see what happens. By my calculations, spider-man will be nerfed tomorrow.

A shield shouldn't cost you anything if you place in the top 45. I figure it's just an investment that will pay itself back and I can go away from the game for 3 hours.

Oh, top 45 is not a problem, but I really do want those top 15 rewards. Anyways, how do shields actually work? I still get attacked, but I don't lose points (although I do get points on a successful defense), what I'm trying to ask is if my MMR will go down from all the loses I have while shielded? I sure hope so, since my team of M.Storm, Patch, Thor really sucks at defense at their current 40ish levels.

I defended the Wolverine/Thor nerfs because I thought Wolvy especially was still pretty solid, and it was ridiculous how everyone used them. And they haven't been the problem. It's all the scaling PvE and the bullshit where you have to already be ahead to compete. This game needs more freebies. A roll of the dice once a week on weekly logins that ultimately lead to bagman or Captain America sucks. And I dread every new character because they all just signal one more thing I won't be able to participate in 3 days later. gently caress this game. It was so good a few months ago and now it sucks.

Daredevil's mechanic is interesting, but so far, they have been thoroughly underwhelming. They're too expensive, and when they do go off, they just don't do enough to justify their downside. He's a 3* bag man.

Yeah, it seems like having attacks be predictable is a pretty important aspect of tight fights. Having it not go off when you need it to makes it pretty worthless. And for the effect to be strong enough to make up for its unpredictability, it would probably feel pretty unfair.

This game sucks the D now. From all the HP reward nerfs, the still-unreachable progression rewards which the devs said they were going to fix (which WAS reachable until they decided to change the stupid shield mechanic), raising the prices of boosts, the still-absent cover re-spec, the awful awful AWFUL level scaling in PVE events, this game is now dogshit. It was amazing a few months ago but I guess the developers just want more money so they're going with the "poo poo on the wall" design philosophy to see what boundaries they can get away with. gently caress this game and gently caress Daredevil. He sucks.

Skip tax? I have a highest level character of Iron Man 35 who is 25 and I'm routinely being thrown teams of two or more 40's.

That's because you always skip until you find a team you can beat, so your MMR has gone up too much. With the introduction of this tax, you'll mash FIGHT against a team of 85's so that you have a chance at that sweet, sweet +30 IP. Oh wait, no you won't, that's retarded. You'll still fish for a team you can actually beat, only now you'll get less rewards.

No I won't be skipping anybody so this is all just sweet extra ISO for me. Did anyone notice they switched cityscape for desert? And has oasis always been 25? Seems really cheap for 6 green tiles, it's crazy, but it's nice that environment tiles are actually worth matching for once. Edit: nice cascade, AI.
