Hey Jerks! Any alliance spots open? Just started playing (same name in game) and accidentally whaled a bit, so now I'm hooked.

Did you buy a 40 pack or what?

If anyone is still playing and using the Facebook app, let me know because not one person on the list in the OP has accepted my friend request. I'm playing a lot right now and I have seen a ton of free tokens and ISO go to waste.

In other news, a heroic token today gave me my second ever Spider-Man cover, so yay for that I guess.

Don't spend money on this game. Seriously. The return for your dollar is laughably lovely compared to other similar games. There's fun to be had playing it but you should never spend a dime.

If I had any sort of impulse control, I'd agree with you

Oh man, it's so much fun to maybe make it in the top 40% if I spend hours grinding every level down to one point because I don't have the Hulk. Seriously, who thought this was a good decision? I can see maybe making a couple of levels require a character, but when about a third of the levels require them and they're worth at least twice as much as any other level, why even bother playing at that point?

They've screwed the players both times they implemented Thick as Thieves. That's kind of impressive in it's own way. Grind your soul away or get nothing, puppets!

Yeah I played the first round quite a bit, but it never upped the difficulty or points significantly. I'm still fighting level 30s, and ranking in the top 500 at the end of the sub-events. No Mohawk for me.

I just opened up my Season 2 10-pack and got 4 Hawkeyes, 2 Bagmen, and a Bullseye. Not one *** at all. I literally heard The Price is Right losing horn in my head.

Mine was similar as well, then I opened ten random standards I'd been hoarding and got two LazyCaps and a Patch. At this point, I'm hoping more for standard tokens anymore.

Boosted Magneto is pretty fun. Have his purple at lvl 4, and it's a one-hitter quitter on pretty much everyone in the game. Paired with OBW, you might take out the biggest dude you're facing in the first ten turns.

Just so you guys know cmag is going to get a nerf down the road. And everytime D3 nerfs a 3* character they're pretty much brought down to obsolescence. So I would think twice before spending ISO and bringing him to 141.

This Hood and Magento combo in the Thick as Thieves section is annoying. They take out my level 110 hulk before I even get to use any powers, even with 3 different boosts. Then they take out the rest of my team before I even get to take out one guy. Its rated "Normal" I guess because there are 2 of them instead of 3, but they are level 131/132.

Hey Goons, :siren:DONT UPDATE TO R55!:siren:

Theres word from some of my alliance mates and players from the D3P forums that the new revision scales up enemy levels in TaT to astronomical heights. As in Hood and CMag going from 161 -> 241. So if you're trying to win lazystorm maybe hold off from updating.

I run OBW/Wolv/2 star Thor and I don't have much problem with that team. I have 5 in OBW's black which adds a surprising amount of damage so that helps. Also if you're not doing so already, down The Hood ASAP.

Now the Hood/Magento team I mentioned is 155/155 after updating. It also says hard instead of normal so at least that is accurate.

Seriously if they were going to gently caress with scaling why would they do it in the middle of Thick as Thieves and piss everyone off? Isn't this similar to what they did the first time they ran Thick as Thieves?

This is great, I started to download the update, and then flipped over to the forums to see what kind of of cash-grab was included in this patch, luckily catching your warning in time!

Maybe I can get a lazystorm now! (I missed two sub-events in Thick as Thieves due to apathy, but have been grinding the poo poo out of the main event the past few days).

Because they don't give a poo poo about you or the integrity of their "tournaments" and will seize every opportunity to make you more dependent on IAP heals, boosts, and levels.

Seriously, this is not a game where the devs are at all worried about crafting a fun experience for their players. They have a steady stream of suckers trickling in from the Play store, and their goal is simply to extract money from them.

So, what's the mechanics on the pvp matches? Every time I get up to 600 points or so, I'll get attacked 3 times before I can finish one battle and just lose points.

I just stop when I get to the point when everyone it matches me up with has maxed out characters that I can't yet match. Like my stuff is in the 60s or 70s, and at some point I get all people that are level 85.
