Got a purple daken with the 300 reward. Yay?

Also only 14 people played yesterday. No shame though.

Any goon alliances open? I'm loving tired of getting insta-booted from any alliance I join for not having 3000+ Season 1 score, despite playing quite a bit. Just started playing about two weeks ago.

I'm DrOoze in the game. Is there a direct invite system or some such?

Heh Snazzy Frocks is in my bracket. Number 1 with 961 points.

I was more-or-less I the same boat. Not sure if it was my bracket, my team, or dumb luck, but it was nice to know I don't have to shield to get a decent ranking.

What are these magical teams that you're running that no one dares attack?

I tend to avoid teams with Ares and any healer/AP stealer, just because Ares has a pretty good chance of blowing someone up by the time I kill Hood/Spidey/OBW, and he has enough HP that if I focus on him, there's a good chance that he'll either get a massive heal, or they will steal enough AP for him to blow someone up.

Hulk, for pretty much the same reasons.

I run 141 hulk and OBW, people still just chew on me like crazy every time I put my phone down.

Just shielded #4 with 950. Shield, 5 deadly venoms and 5 deadly poisons in front of me.

Cheer up, emo kid.
With all the recent changes to bracketing I just don't care enough to even try for a high placement since it would take an insane amount of time and probably boosts+hp. Once I realized I didn't even care enough to get 300 points meant that it was time to quit.

I've removed myself from Pizza Dog, so for those of you who haven't hit the incredibly dumb wall of 1k+ top 10 placement and double 141 teams all the time, god speed.

Maxed Punisher and OBW, and enough IM40 covers that the event boosted him into the 50s or 60s. I assume I looked just annoying enough that a lot of people skipped me.

On the other hand, plenty of people are chewing on me in this Daken event, probably because I only have one Daken cover.

Also, I should mention that Pizza Dog is great and has a healthy balance of laid back and also consistently high ranking people. I was just in a bad spot of not being able to commit more time to the game and hitting a horrible pvp wall.

They have said they want to make the 4 star heroes better so X-Force might eventually be a stud.

Yeah, they finally got around to Spidey, so Mags or Wolv4rine might be up next.

Pizza Dogs still has one empty spot! Search for it under a private alliance, apply, post here!

And I wonder about the end of season 1. Are they putting up another event or just throwing everyone to the wolves in the Shield Simulator.

I just faced a level 96 Lazy Daken (!!!) and you know what? Still easy pickings if you know what you're doing. I don't know why they even bothered, they may as well made a three star Bullseye in his proper costume instead.

If you're seeing him in the current event where he's boosted then it's worth taking into consideration that 96 almost certainly means that he only has one of each cover, so all his abilities are at their weakest possible form, and his stats are on par with a maxed 2-star. Every 3-star is poo poo to ball-sucking at that point.

It should be noted I have been using a level 141 Hulk at this point, so I have a bit of an advantage.

Let's just hope they roll out rewards before they realize their mistake so they'll be pressured into letting us double dip Season 1 rewards!

Love the Ragnarok tourneys because all the stupid shitlords running Thor don't realize the computer prioritizes Godlike Power over Call the Storm. :smug:

Easy wins on 99% of nodes since everyone in the entire game runs OBW/Thor.

There's some variance but when there is a cheap green skill available the AI is significantly less likely to save up for CTS.

Similarly I always fight on a node with someone running both Thor and Wolverine because the computer tends to waste red on Mjolnir's Might instead of Adamantium Slash, and do the strike tiles instead of CTS.

Equally there is a spot in Hired Goons if you are willing to expand to the 11th spot (1100HP). Search for it under a private alliance, apply, post here!

Congratulations!
Just what the game needs, more characters! I know I've had my Nick Fury, Lazy Daken, Lazy Thor, Falcon, Lazy Cap, Black Panther, Psylocke and Human Torch maxed for ages and was starting to get bored.

I'm sure by next weekend we'll have Sentry, Lazy Juggernaut, Nightcrawler, Lazy Bullseye, four more Iron Man variants and a Spider-Ham character to max.
