Any spots in pizza dog opening up? Or any other active alliance? My alliance has slowly died. Im pretty active and play daily.

Yes, there are 2 people who have been inactive for about a month so will kick them now. If 2 join we might even have 20 active players!

Danpipoly was asking me this weekend to let him know if a spot opens up, so if we're kicking them can we save a spot for him? He's cool IRL and plays way more than me, which seems like it should be a contradiction.

Hmm, the last inactive person is 'dinger machine', bit he's a commander so you have to raise a support ticket to get him downgraded so he can be kicked. I can do that but if 'dinger machine' is still reading the thread and not planning on playing any more then it would be cool if you downgraded yourself.

Did they remove lazyplay? I started the hotshot event this morning, and the top player had 250 points. Next time I log in, I'm in a different bracket with multiple 1000+ point players.

I'm surprised I don't see more CStorm + MN Mags in 2-star PVP now that OBW is nerfed. Polarity Shift + Wind Storm is a match-ending combo and only takes 9 purple to get going. They are definitely my A-team ahead of Ares/OBW.

Probably not seeing it because it is terrible on defense, since the "AI" is garbage at using tile placement powers and is likely to use Iron Hammer instead of Wind Storm.

The governor has given a rats-alert advising people to stay in their homes.
To elaborate, in case you don't know, your defensive team is just the last one you used in an event. So if you use Mag/Storm, you probably want to fight a last match with a team the AI uses well (OBW & Ares/Thor is probably best at 2-star, or Ares & Thor for pure HP) before stopping for the day, forcing others to fight that group.

Team-Up Feedback and Changes
Postby IceIX ยป Wed Aug 13, 2014 9:39 pm

Thanks for your feedback about Team-Ups! We've heard your comments and frustrations. We believe that Team-Ups add an exciting new element of strategy and new ways for abilities to work together, and will continue to see that vision through. We realize we have a ways to go, and in the mean time, we're going to make some changes to reduce the randomness that Team-Ups can add to the game. The changes will be rolled out over the next few releases.

For an initial start, and upcoming soon:
- Adding the ability to delete Team-Ups
- Reducing the number of Team-Ups that can be used by the AI from 3 to 1
- Making it so AP theft and destruction abilities (like Black Widow's Aggressive Recon) will also steal Team-Up AP.
- Taking another pass on which abilities can be used by the AI in Team-Ups. The AI should no longer use Sentry or Juggernaut.
- Fixing a bug that allowed AI teams to Team-Up with a character on their team.

Uh, make sure you don't send anyone vital to your team to help alliance members. Doctor Doom hosed off for 16 hours last night. Think it might be by Stars because Cap at 2 went for 8 hours and Juggs went for 4. I dread to guess how long 4 Star characters go for. It'd better be useful for the people you send them to.

e: oh, you can recall them for Hero Points. How novel.

Well, deleting came out quick. Get in the bin, all you Bullseyes and Yelenas.

No more Sentry or Juggernaut, that is wonderful and I never would have expected it.

e: also try not to be too surprised when Falcon ambushes you with his terrible beard.

4 stars is 36 hours! Doesn't matter as they're terrible anyway.

e: It depends actually. Invisible woman was 12 hours, but nick fury is 36 hours. Who knows what math they use to determine the away time.

I wonder if they will eventually limit how many times you can send people team-up characters. I can totally see some of the spergy whale guilds require members to have some purple only OBW, or other low characters where level doesn't matter much, just the number in a skill. Low turn around, and fairly common to pull from tokens means you can fill up on really good team ups.

Granted, it might not be worth the effort, but I can totally see a way for it to be abused.

New team-up strategy!

1. Get every player in your alliance to make a Black Widow original with only 3 purple covers and nothing else.
2. Pass that team-up around like the village bicycle.
3. Aggressive recon your way to victory!
4. Await the inevitable funbalance.

To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom.
I've been thinking about going back, and this is as good excuse as any. What has been happening in the game lately? I quit right before Alliance chat.

EDIT: Sent a request to Pizza Dog. I don't have a great roster, but at least I'll be active and drop when I'm not. I've already done it once after all.

Fat Samurai posted:

Recently I've gotten very tired of this game's "rich gets richer" approach and the week-long tournaments, so I'm dropping out of Pizza Dog in order to make room for someone who puts more effort into this.

I've had my fun and haven't paid a buck, so I guess I can't complain.

Is there an easier way to lower your pvp score than just intentionally losing matches? I got up to rank 50 in the nefarious foes event before realizing I actually would prefer the 2-star mags over psylocke. I figured I'd gradually lose back below 100 but apparently nobody is playing this event. So I tanked like 8 matches to kill my entire roster & managed to get myself down to.... rank 66. poo poo. <:mad:>

Seeing as how the alliance had a few spots, I approved your application. This alliance doesn't usually place anywhere significant, but some extra ISO8 and base tokens every now and then is better than nothing.

Glad to see Patcheto will be done with. CMag can still be very devastating when the board conditions are right. The game will be much healthier because of this. Very pleasantly surprised by the way the changes were handled. Seeing as how Spidey and Rag were made useless, I was expecting far worse. Maybe Sentry and IW can be next on the funbalance list.

Also got my stash of 500k ISO hoarded up and ready to send my 5/5/3 X-Force to 270 when R60 comes out :unsmigghh:

Yeah wow they are some massive changes. I just spent 120k iso or so getting Patch up to 166 and at least he will be unaffected haha. My Cmags tho... I got lucky to have 5/5/x and have made hay while the sun shined.
