Meh, everyday I feel more like a lab rat running inside some sort of contraption that doesn't let me advance. In the current PvP tourney I basically earn 25 points per match but lose 26 by two attacks every drat time. I was hovering at 540 points for an hour until I said gently caress it, it is not like gray widow is going to replace my OBW anytime soon.

This sums up the last 12 hours of the cap tourney for me. I got to 591 points, get into a match, win, and oh hey I just got attacked twice and my points didn't budge. I did it over and over for an hour till I ran out of heals and then, when I finally have an easy matchup, the enemy OBW gets a cascade of 5 criticals and insta wipes my Thor from full health to 0.
I just wanted a Yellow Thor damnit.

New patch is out. To see how your individual alliance member performance you have to go to your alliance rank in the event and click your score. Also I hope the chat messages are persistent or otherwise what's the point?

I'm gonna bow out of agents of goon, too much other stuff going on for me to play this game enough.

Went to bed at 25, woke up at 200. Half an hour later I'm at 15. There's only like 50 points separating the 10 people around me.

Grey Widow, Ares, Daken so far, but I probably ought to use C. Storm instead of Ares.

Spurd.
I will probably use Patch, Punisher, OBW.

That's mainly because Patch (130) and Punisher (105) are my only 2 covers higher than level 85 though. They're also my only 3* with 13 covers.

The wife and I have an alliance running and now that we can see individual scores, we purged the pubbie slackers and want to replace them with goon slackers. Alliance name is the Mathletes if you're interested; we'll probably start buying additional slots soon.

Modern Storm and Spider-Man. Stick to the oasis map for a never ending stream of sniper shots.

That works unless he's stopped playing the game entirely; he hasn't posted in this thread for a few weeks now.

^^ Yeah, I don't think that's really on. Sets an awful bad precedent and opens the likes of me open to booting just because someone feels I'm not pulling my weight, which I am currently of course, but I'm not likely to mash away at every single event.

Is anyone else having trouble installing this update for Android? I attempt to update it, it downloads 8.99 MB of the update, then tries to install it before finishing the download, and then gives an error that says, "Application cannot be installed in the default install location". I have tried restarting the phone, but hasn't helped.

I'll join. I'm not so much a constant slacker as "periods of daily play followed by weeks of nothing when something shiny distracts me". In-game name's Bruceski.

There's a spot in 'Hired Goons' - especially if you want to expand it to 8 people (800hp). Been just about getting into HP alliance prizes in most events

I do get knocked down to like top 75 or so, but it's not drastic. Like, 1,000 points will easily put me back to top 30 or so and then a few more missions and I'm back to top 10.

I suppose it's a matter of timezone, like you said. It ends at 1 pm for me so I probably should be able to stay within top 50. No chance of me getting Wolverine X but I don't even have a single cover for him anyways so I see it as me saving a cover slot.

I went from not having a Lazy Cap to being at #10 with ~50k points in the last 12 hours. I'm not sure anybody is gonna crack 60k in this event. It's weird.

This is important to keep in mind before people start kicking others out of alliances. I usually wait a day to start PvP events myself. Judge people at the END of the event.

Okay, I was probably a bit premature in this proclamation. I'm at #1 in mine now at 52,377 because of four or five buttholes that keep grinding. Just give me the useless yellow X-Force Wolvie already! I've got a 2 cover Invisible Woman he can hang out with!

I don't care if it's my terrible primate brain seeing patterns, I keep seeing the most spectacular bullshit cascades from the 230 fights, generally near the beginning of the rounds, to the tune of "there are two small matches open on the board and the one I didn't take turns out to pull just the right colors from the top for a 4-match, then a 5-match or two, and while we're at it why not some 3-matches off the criticals and then the tank's dead and also those matches were mostly black so Bullseye/Venom will be eating the next sacrifice."

I swear I'm at least trying to look for potential pitfalls, but this isn't really happening on the 65 rounds with terribly low points and it irritates me.

Play enough games, and you'll see plenty of bullshit, but I can get brutal cascades more or less as often as the AI.

Basically. I get ridiculous cascades that have killed the enemy team on turn 1. The enemy has gotten those too. The rng is merciless, but fair.

Any tips on how to beat a level 230 Daken/Bullseye/Commander?

Its worth a lot of points, but my OBW and Thor are level 120 boosted. What the gently caress. Who kills these three?

If it was just the countdown AI I could probably swing it with Storm for AP generation and delays with OBW. But Daken and Bullseye match for over 300 damage. Insane.

If you had a good Loki, you could try flipping the oodles of strike and defense tiles to your advantage.
