Ahahahaha over the Spider-Man nerf? He wasn't even really that efficient. Having him on your team was likely a loss in grinding speed vs a more offensively geared team running OBW. All those stun animations would really slow you down.

I tried using OBW but when everyone else is using her or Hood it's impossible to get enough AP to do anything. Plus with OBW you can't use GBW. I can't win a single Psylocke match because two of my three main characters are useless. I'll probably resign from my alliance tonight and delete this shitstorm from my phone.

Purple matches > everything else. Focus the opposing OBW or Hood first unless they have a CStorm. Make sure you only have three covers in OBW's purple ability.

Opposing OBWs are pretty much free wins unless you let them get a bunch of purple matches. Very low HP so a few matches plus a 1-1.5k damage ability knocks her out.

Edit: also don't be afraid to hold off OBWs purple a couple turns to get max value out of it. You should be stealing 10+ AP every time unless you have to stave off a critical ability.

If anyone gets a refund I'm willing to bet they'll be sandboxed as long as D3 can associate the purchase refund to their account. Still a pretty good option for anyone wanting to get out at this point though.

I did that in a fit of nerd rage after the funbalancing of Thor and Wolverine only to have second thoughts about it a couple of weeks later, not realizing I failed to back up my game. I would advise you to maybe just step away for a few days / weeks before deleting it. I had to start over and rebuild my collection from scratch, which hasn't been terrible but I had some almost complete 3* characters that were lost.

At least when that funbalancing happened I was already in the middle of the 3 star transition and well on my way to maxed Spidey and Punisher. I've tried every heavy hitter I could put with OBW and Psylocke and they all get crushed. I'm probably stuck in a god-tier bracket because of past success and if MMR is attached to games played, I'm screwed because I picked the wrong characters to focus on all this time.

After maxing Punisher I finally got enough covers to max GBW and she became my main damage dealer because I had all the time in the world to build AP if needed. Now any ability that takes more than three matches to use is worthless because everyone steals your AP and there's no way to stop it. My OBW is maxed but enemy OBWs constantly get the better breaks and rob me blind. I've died probably 15 out of 16 matches so far.

Not sure what your roster looks like but Ares is probably the best easily available OBW killer. A 100+ CMag can also make short work of her and of course Lazy Daken would be solid too if you're a whale.

I'm really god drat sick of OBW too, though - she's reached nearly total saturation in the range I'm fighting and sometimes I can go more than 10 matches in a row without having an OBW-free fight.

Yeah - but how do you string together consecutive fights without her? Sometimes (frequently) my team was at 100% heading into the next match thanks to her heal.

I run CMag/Hulk and Lazy Cap so I only have to heal occasionally. You can also just heal in pve if needed. But the bottom line is this game is horrible poo poo and the "Heal Pack" business model can gently caress off forever.

I tried both Ares and CMags. Since CMags has the stronger purple attack, OBW can't steal any. Ares is my best bet.

I really think I blew the MMR slaying whales for so long. Most of my opponents have high-level Psylocke along with other random maxed 3 stars like Lazycap and Lazythor who are true beasts. That's how 3 stars SHOULD be. Aside from health, Spidey is about as good as a 1 star because D3 has no clue how to balance anything properly. 2 star Wolverine is about the only nerfed character that they did a fair job on. If they had the respec system in place for that, it wouldn't have been an issue at all. Thor got screwed much harder.

It's a bug with Swiftkey. Switch your keyboard to something else when you need to type in a text box in MPQ.

Yes, these developers are so loving retarded they messed up a text entry box and have left it broken for months.

I just started playing this game a few days ago and I kind of like it. Currently ranked 20th in one of the events, but I just started playing a level and hadn't made a move when my game crashed. Now the characters I was using are at half health so I can either use health packs or wait about 40 minutes to try again. Really stupid design.

Health packs automatically regenerate up to five at a rate of about 1 per half hour so don't be afraid to use them.

At least I may get featured in a games.txt thread someday, but sometimes you have to tell a company to go gently caress themselves and it's pretty cathartic. I hope others don't get too wrapped in this crap. I just wanted something cool to play on my work breaks and down time, not something that demands poopsocking and then randomly changes the whole dynamics of the game repeatedly because the designers are retards.
