Since when did they tweak the loving Hero AI? Their modus operandi has always been "if I have AP, use ability" Just now had a team with an Ares and Modern Storm purposefully hold off for two turns on using any green AP, then popped a Thor's Call The Storm to nearly wipe me out. That never used to happen. I should've been hit with an Onslaught or w/e the green ability is that Ares has. What gives?

I just noticed that when a crit tile gets matched with environment tiles, the AP generated seems to be multiplied. Has it always been that way?

It used to be even more broken though. Any boosted hero for events would also apply that boost to environment tiles. I miss Hawkeye getting a bajillion environment points for me in one shot.

There's a few cases where you won't get crit AP from environment tiles though - mostly during a cascade or when a crit tile activates on multiple sides and the environment tiles aren't the first one selected to activate. It's annoying when that happens because instead of 35-50 AP you get 6

Just fought against IM35/Thor. They matched four yellow at 7, then had 11 AP. IM35 used Armored Assault. What the gently caress is with the AI? Does it value special time creation over other abilities? If so, why does it value expensie damage over cheaper damage? It had 11 goddamn AP when I was against Thor/Ares and it still waited until it had 14 for CTS, but Ares would have done equal damage with his green ability--just not to everyone. Even worse, there was a time earlier today when Venom was the only person packin purple, and never used Symbiote Snare off the bat. It can't use it twice in the same turn, but it wouldn't use it until it had well over 8 AP. Is there a difference in AI between certain levels, and I'm just bouncing between both?

Maybe it's a balance necessity? Apparently the AI knows what tiles will fall in after a match.

Literally only a yellow storm cover for the lower tier rewards. Not even a yellow, blue, and green cover for top-place Storm. Just a single yellow cover. 250 ISO + 1500 ISO + gently caress you for placing below 50th

At 300 points, you earn a Completely Corrupt token, which will probably net you either a Bullseye or a Moonstone, might get you a Thor, but almost certainly won't get you a OBW or Hood.

death .cab for qt posted:Just fought against IM35/Thor. They matched four yellow at 7, then had 11 AP. There is no actual AI in the game. It will try to match 4 and then try to match 3. That's it. As for the skills, it seems like every few turns it will decide on which skills to use so -for instance- if it is controlling both the punisher and moonstone it will decide which black ability will it use next. If it chooses moonstone then it will begin building enough black and ignore the punisher until in gets enough black or a certain number of turns have passed and is time to refresh the list of abilities to use (and then it could select moonstone again). The AI is so simple that it seems random. It is particularly obvious with a high level Juggs because, quite frankly, his red ability is one of the best in the game when he's lvl230 and a complete no-brainer yet the AI will manage to instead cast some crap red skill plenty of times.

Largepotato posted:How many points do you have? You may have stopped too soon. I didn't consider that. I just saw a lovely team I could beat with level 1 losers and jumped on it. Hopefully some people take the bait anyway. I just want the Storm cover, so I don't need to rank highly. Edit: I had 39 points last I checked.

One of my favorites is Daken repeatedly ignoring green matches in favor of yellow or red. Especially if there's already a couple of strike tiles down he can get rid of for me in one match.

Speaking of which, is the Daken/Hulk combo as fun as it seems on paper, or will Hulk be beefy enough that normal hits won't trigger his Anger passive?

It depends on the level of the Hulk, I have a harder time fighting lower level Hulks because it's easier to trigger the passive. Still tough when combo'd with Daken, since you want to deny Hulk green matches which usually means you're triggering Daken's passive a lot yourself.

I finally got my last Doom cover with one of the 4 heroics I got. The other 3 were Thor, Hawkeye and Cap.  Also I noticed something about Black Panther's cover. Take a careful look at it, or his title when he's on a team. Synthbuttrange fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Mar 11, 2014 |
