I loving love OBW, and would probably quit the game if OBW were removed, unless devs also removed the need for healing altogether by refilling your health to full after every fight.

I would probably use OBW even if healing no longer became necessary because stealing AP is just so much more loving fun than stunlocking.

Right now we have twelve slots so the next one is going to be 1300 HP.

I'm #1 in my Simulator bracket right now and the guy right behind me only has the IM35, StormC and Modern Widow. I have no idea how the heck he's keeping up with me in points(I have a single Black Panther that got me a ton of points), especially since his characters are all at 35. Am I missing something here?

Well, at least I know who to blame :argh:

Seriously, though, it's likely to be a difference of 25 hero points, I think most of us will survive missing that. If they keep alliance events coming regularly it won't take long for Pizza Dog to make me back the hero points I spent on a slot anyway, and that's ignoring all the extra covers it gets me.

Somehow I went from the mid 40s to the mid twenties on the power of OBW and M. Storm's defense. :stare:
Considering it's the Death By a Thousand Cuts because only Storm does any damage, I'm rather surprised.
I was aiming for Ares, but I may get a Patch out of this.

Theorycrafting: Out of curiosity, can fellow alliance members encounter each other's teams?
If not, do you think deliberately using a tank team to boost fellow Goons (when encountered) in other alliances can work?
I imagine it would lower your MMR (a bit) while giving one's fellows a small boost.

Yes I imagine the effort probably isn't worth it, but when you're sitting on the can with nothing better to do...

At least you're in an alliance that has a shot at it. It'll be a minor miracle if mine squeaks by in the lowest 50hp reward tier. And we ain't getting poo poo from the simulator.

I'm in a 5 person alliance and we're all but guaranteed to at least get 50HP from the Thor thing (at the 1682nd spot with 686 points total). It really shouldn't be that hard. It's probably absolutely impossible for us to crack the top 500 or even 1000 though, there's just too many points to get for only 5 people.
Although I agree for the Simulator, that one has more narrow reward ranges and really needs everyone to have the specific featured heroes and farm their asses off for points.


Speaking of which, Super Goons get to work, cause I have a third of all the alliance's points right now.

My team of one cover thor, 63 draken and 85 ares netted me over 100 points last night in the thor tourney. I think Ive personally won about 100 points worth of matches and now sit at 392 points. I am going to try and save up gold and buy a slot in the alliance barring unforeseen covers needing a roster slot so maybe we can push the low effort crew into the top reward ranges.

Just heard Patch Wolverine for the first time. He sounds really out of breath for some reason? Like, all the little voice clips and sound bytes and so on have been pretty appropriate or just not very noticeable (it's easy to filter out stuff that keeps repeating over and over). But that one grunt just stood out as really weird for me.

I finally understand why people hype Spiderman so much. I just redid the first Simulator missions, figuring I'd steamroll through it like I did the first time. Then I let him match too much blue by accident and had to face the unholy fury of neverending stuns, heals, and the absolutely ridiculous defense tile that IW eventually dropped. And the board was nigh unmovable by the end. Luckily I managed to get through with abilities, but still, that was a surprisingly competent team.

Yeah, I actually had a 5 blue/1 yellow Spider-man for a while but only got him up to survivable levels a couple of weeks ago (I tend to throw all my ISO at anyone who is boosted a lot in the current event, so other characters end up waiting to be useful), but since then I've taken him with me in any fight that isn't against another Spider-man. Usually the last half of every fight is me keeping one or two enemies stunlocked while I hunt for enough yellow ISO to heal everyone/enough of whatever my damage dealer needs to kill everyone so I finish each fight at full. If something goes wrong and I'm not at or near full, I can go stunlock the level 115 Ragnarok and heal up easily enough. I used to use Black Widow for healing, but Spider-man has worked much better for me.

He's now my highest level hero (only one about 85), and I'm going to need to start leveling some other 3 stars so that I have people that can tank for him...

When I posted that we were about 100 ranks above the cut-off for 50hp. Which is uncomfortably close. Now it's a bit more comfortable a margin. But I still have over half my team's points in the event. And my team's poo poo. It's different in the simulator because I haven't had any of the featured covers except one, and there's nothing I can do about that. I just don't want to hear someone in a superalliance complaining about how they'll just barely make top 50 when some of us are grinding away in the salt mines for fairly minor rewards here.

That seems pretty weird. Have you tried asking support? They seem to be somewhat quick to answer.

During the Thor tourney I finally felt what it feels to have a good team in this game. LazyThor/Punisher/OBW, with LazyThor being lvl 110 and boosted to who knows what a single storm would wipe complete teams (after being tenderized while accumulating the green) and pretty much nobody dared attack me. I got 500 points, didn't play for twelve hours and came back to 420 points, so I just climbed the ladder pretty quickly in the last hour and shielded. Tried to do some of the PvP event but I haven't had much time to play so even with all the rubberbanding I didn't do that well. Well, it's not like I ever get something good out of those tokens anyways.

Same here. After all that effort I'm kinda disappointed that he's the last optional mission character, especially since I've seen almost no event drop him. At least I got #1 in my bracket. Green Wolverine, Red Ares and 2 Psyloches. I'll consider that a win.

How do you build Ares anyway? I've yet to get his Green and am 0/4/2 right now.

Also, how exactly does this random dinosaur at the end of the Simulator qualify as a super-hero and where can I get it.

Back during, I think, a Black Panther tournament, it took over an hour to get my rewards. I hadn't noticed it happen before, so I e-mailed them, and then let them know when I did get it. 22 days later they responded to my e-mail.

I really hope they're faster to respond to actual issues.

I think 5 yellow and 4 in the others is the normal way to go. 5 yellow gets the countdown on him healing himself to something useful and the 5th green only brings the minimum to use it to 5 AP instead of 6, which is rarely useful.
