Game crashed in a match a few minutes before 'Fresh Cut' ended. Tried to play one more game before event ended but went over time by one minute. Placed 51st so I didn't even get a Magneto. This game is awful.

Still going to keep playing.

That sucks. I would've actually been cool with getting ranked lower than 50 because I really like BWO and could use some more upgrades.

I feel like maybe they lowered the drop rate of gold covers from standard and heroic tokens? Or maybe I'm just on a long unlucky streak.

Yup, I went from 550 to 880 in about 30 mins. It seems that because it's not properly tracking your score updates, you can still get 30 point games even when you're coming first in your bracket. I stopped and shielded as soon as it seemed to have fixed itself, but 880 was enough for first place.

I can't remember the last time I got anything worthwhile out of a token at all, heroic or otherwise.

Don't touch me there - Noone has that right.
Kinda glad I slacked on the psylock tourney - ended up getting 2 3stars from my 3 standard tokens; Magneto red and Black Panther blue!

Oh, what a day...
What a lovely day!
Yeah I pulled a Punisher red from a standard token. Now he's at 13 covers. 5/4/4, but I'll take it for now. The two turn countdown on the Molotovs can really add up with strike tiles.

I hopped into the no holds barred elite. I've never done it before. I'm actually doing OK. The rewards kind of suck, but I'm not regretting the investment. Ranked in the top 20 at the moment, and my bracket seems quiet. I had a couple defensive victories too for some sweet points. Running Thor, OBW, and Punisher (132 atm).

E: took 6th place. 2 heroic tokens, 50 HP, and 1000 ISO. Plus the 890 ISO and 2 standard tokens from progression rewards. Not a bad haul. And I scored a red LazyCap cover from a heroic token.

So, does Classic Human Torch suck? He doesn't seem very good just from playing against him in the Simulator level. I have a 2 star Captain America that could easily take his place since hero points are a bitch to come by.

He's actually pretty good, though you have to be careful when using his black power. At least, he was good using a boosted low level version, and I assume he's significantly better if you actually have more than a few covers on him.

Yeah, I only have one and I never liked Human Torch as a kid. I have plenty of other good characters so he's gone. It'll probably be about a week before I get enough points to unlock three more slots and I don't want to lose some of the covers I have.

You may want to keep him. You never when they're going to run some PVE event that requires him.

Thankfully when I first joined G.O.O.N the going was good so I have nearly a 40 hero roster, I only get rid of the common 1 star heroes I haven't bothered levelling like Hawkeye. I think the drop rate may have improved as I have recently got a DD, Hood and Magneto Classic from standard tokens.

Eh, I keep one star Hawkeye around. When I'm low on health packs, I can just do a couple of easy story missions using him to neutralize enemy attacks while I use BWO to heal.

gently caress this lovely broken game so goddamn much.

Decided to make a push for patch covers. Spent three loving hours trying to get from 700 to 800 getting crabbed down constantly. Finally hit 810 and shielded.

Apparently I'm shielded at 775 now and 5th place that guaranteed won't hold up for a top 10 spot. IAP currency down the drain unless I want to settle for top 25 and one cover.

Check your position on the leaderboard before/after shielding as it forces the server to update for you so the shield goes into effect properly server-side.

I did that. Showed up 810 before, shielded, 775 after. No attack notification either.

How the gently caress do you even see your PVP defense in this game? I have no clue what heroes the game is even picking to defend.

PVP defense is always the last team you won with. If you want a different defense team than your normal offense team, you have to make sure your last fight is using the different team.

The servers were seriously making GBS threads themselves during the last five minutes there. I was number 5 for the normal simulator but couldn't get the game to do anything but sit and try to load so I ended up getting top ten instead. Got around rank 30 for the hard simulator and 17 for Starfall. Those plus the alliance ranks gave me enough hp for the three character slots I needed.

The governor has given a rats-alert advising people to stay in their homes.
Hey fellow Pizza folks: I saw IceIX say on the official board that he can de-commander people who have been completely inactive in their alliance for a long time. Maybe another commander could send him a PM over there and see if he could do that to our old friend Poops? I've never posted there myself so it won't let me PM, and I figure they'd probably want to hear the request from a commander anyway.

Also, we're sitting at exactly #250 in the PVE, which is the limit for the cover, so any little push from a few of the less active would be helpful.

I've been procrastinating on making a decision whether or not I was done with the game but still following the thread - I haven't felt any desire to play for like a week now, and they don't look to be making the game any more casual friendly any time soon, so I'll log in and free up a Pizzaslot.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Part of me wants to walk away from the game, but the other part loves when I find a combo that just works well. Patch/Psylocke/OBW is mopping the floor in the current event, since they complement each other's colors, have healing, and once Patch throws up the strike tiles Psylocke has cheap red and black abilities to just poke everyone to death. I've gained almost as many points on defense as I have on offense.

It's why I still check this thread from time to time, even though I quit several months ago. It's a really neat game! It's such a shame it's run by such money grubbing assholes, because it would be a great game if they weren't trying to suck cash out of you every time you pick it up.
