Choose a jungle setting, Storm's red to get environment AP, Thorny Rose for 5AP all over, Lightning Storm and Recon gets even more AP, Iron Man finishes. Placing in the top ~100 usually. Preferably the top ten. And getting to 300 points gets you a two star token. But yeah, it's pretty friggin' slow.

Save your tokens for shields and try to rank as high as you can in the events. Maxing out certain two star characters isn't that hard but getting the covers for a three star character is difficult as anything.

Came back and found myself kicked from around 30 to the 95th spot. Been squeezing out as many matches as possible in the last 30 minutes. I finish one last fight and end up at #51, the guy ahead of me had 4 more points. And then it booted me out cause time ran out. Ugh.

 Just had a cascade that killed my old Thor off. From 7,320 health to zero. 4 goddamn criticals (after Daken laid down 7 strike tiles). Against a thug, Daken, and Bullseye.

I used Patch/Punisher/OBW. Molotov was doing 2k to each enemy after using a Berserker Rage. Retribution and a blue/pink match would finish any that survived.

I've hit a really lovely slump in these last couple of events, starting with the one requiring Lazy Cap. I didn't get a Lazy Cap cover before the thing started, so I'm all but sitting the long event out. I finally got up to #52 in the Wolvie one, but I felt like I was just spinning my wheels for most of it. Now I'm waiting for a decent time to jump into the Cap tourney, but I'm already feeling like I'm just going to fumble around in it too.

I was using spidey/hood/patch. Generally eliminate one enemy character before permastunning the other team and letting Patch loose; when enemies never attack back those enemy strike tiles aren't a big deal.

Played against two star Wolvy/OBW/Bullseye. I was surprised how well it synergized and wrecked my poo poo.

OBW is the Force that binds the MPQ galaxy together. And if she gets a cascade, she will gently caress you up; lack of direct damage powers be damned.

Another source of covers is the shield training in prologue. The progression rewards include Spidey covers. I don't know how realistic that is though. The top people in the bracket have half the points required for the first Spidey cover. OBW with 5 black is pretty amazing. With about 5 boosted Wolverine strike tiles I double matched blue and purple and hit for over 1k.

You need an incredibly good team and a large grinding session set aside just to get a Thor cover out of SHIELD Training. The training reward list was put in before any PvE events existed and other than a straight copy & paste of some extra rewards on top of it ages ago it has not seen a single revision, and the general point spread has stayed basically the same because the rewards pale in comparison to PvE/PvP events that are constantly going on. It basically exists only for grinding ISO when there isn't a PvE event on and you don't want to gently caress up your PvP tournament team.

I made a critical error in ignoring the IM40 with only one cover in yellow. Those countdown tiles came out super fast and that wolverine red hosed me up something fierce.

Having a few LazyCap covers helps a lot in this pvp event. His stun isn't terrible if I don't need to heal. His red attack is very efficient if you get the return of the countdown. Thanks alliance buddies!

This Unstable ISO-8 PVE event kinda sucks. I'm at #10 with 36k points and #1 is sitting at 37k points. With 1d11h left it doesn't look like anybody will come close to the 160k progression reward. Now there's only 2 possible ways for this event to end: 1. Giant point inflation and rubberbanding at the final nodes lets everyone get the 160k progression rewards, which would render the first 5 days of gameplay largely meaningless (in terms of point gain). 2. Node values don't change, everyone finishes with ~50k points, nobody gets anything, yawn. The only thing to look forward to in this event is Human Torch. Other than that, this event is pretty flaccid.

This haves vs. have nots bullshit is getting pretty old. There are two trivial missions on the event map that I could get like 1400-2200+ points for but you have to have loving lazy Cap to even do them. Meanwhile I'm struggling through missions that are 5 times as hard for 10 times fewer points.

Not that it isn't bs, but if you did halfway decently in the Wolverine tournament that ended recently, lazyCap was the reward for anyone in the top 75(I think). I just waited until I got the reward to really start on the PVE event.

I was really liking the game for the past month: granted, it's just Bejewelled with a coat of paint, but it's a nice shiny coat of paint in my favorite color (Marvel). But, it's looking like the high levels will require either   or major grinding.

If you spend a thousand bucks to max 2-3 characters then the only thing that you'll get is to have the pleasure to be matched against the other whales, which will have more character maxed and a thus a bigger chance at getting a few of them boosted.

CaptainScraps posted:This event's going to come down to "Who's on at 12:00 p.m. that can play." Basically. I've been at rank 2 in the event and come back a few hours later to be well under 200. There's a huge amount of people crammed into a very very small point spread. I thought it ended today and was annoyed to see it going until tomorrow because I honestly just want it to be done.

I went from top 25 to under 350, because I was focused on the PVP event! 5th place and shielded, and now I have to work. Hopefully I can stay in the top 10. I love losing to bullshit cascades. Love it. I benefit occasionally too, but when the AIs OBW gets enough AP on turn 2 to lock me out of the match, it gets pretty annoying. Happened to me twice in a row basically. I just decided to shield since I was out of health packs.

I haven't played this game in quite a long time, have they gotten around to funbalancing Spider-Man or are they just focused on churning out new heroes at a really high pace? I think I quit right after Ares or Psylocke came out.

Recently I've gotten very tired of this game's "rich gets richer" approach and the week-long tournaments, so I'm dropping out of Pizza Dog in order to make room for someone who puts more effort into this. I've had my fun and haven't paid a buck, so I guess I can't complain.

They also funbalanced Thor and then introduced LazyThor, which is the same Thor, but more powerful. trucutru fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Apr 6, 2014 |
