When I signed up for Heavy Metal, I'm pretty sure I chose 6:00 P.M. today as the end time, but I just logged on and it was already finished. What's up with that?

The final end time was for 3pm today (CST) so you probably picked yesterdays 6pm

Some of these pve matchups suck balls. My team dies in like 5 turns because of all the strike tiles on the last Juggy one and feeding Hood's yellow on his last one. Twin Pistols is an instant kill for anyone except Groot.

Only 50,000 to get a Groot cover from the PVE, you should be able to get that from grinding the non-essential nodes. Also, they're the Daken PVP reward. You could get at least one cover halfway through with one of those.

Don't pick the end time ending at the old time slots (usually bracket 4). All the whales are picking that time slot and are protesting the new time brackets by spending lots of HP to drive scores up and ruin the game economy. Yep, they're protesting a game by spending money on it.

Thanks d3 for offering Thora as rewards for the pve event over Thanksgiving. I give thanks for the cruel developers at d3.

And right after a PVE where my shift ended at the same time as the event so I finished 156 after grinding all week and now have no possible chance of being competitive in this one because I missed out on Grocket :v:
Seriously can we just pick PVE ending times too because blah.
Also my LazyDaken has 5 covers, none of them Pheromone Rage, which catapults him to "beyond useless" so there's no hope for that event either.

Does maxing a character still take $200+ bucks in ISO? And they are releasing new ones every two weeks or so? And the game is still a never-ending competition against your peers for covers, so that you a chance at events for more covers, so that you can spend untold amounts of ISO to level them?

I stopped playing at around the time the introduced alliances and diluted the prizes even more. Seem this thing has got even worse.

Spend money on slots, not card draws.
If you're grinding, maybe find something else to do, you cant beat whales.
Yes there are too many characters.

I feel like such a loving tool. I spent 20 bucks on credits for the Groot event multi pull and got all Hawkeye and Black Widow, with a couple Ares and Human Torch thrown in for good measure. I won't make that mistake again.

Polarity's guide is out of date with regards to Thor, though. It says his yellow attack is still more powerful than his red one. Nowadays it's the other way around.

What time is it, Eccles?

How so? I find the yellow normally does at least as much damage because you get a couple of green matches out of it, and then you get to use his green power.

So I grind pretty steadily all event, got grocket in time for the second area, completed every mission more than once, finish 350.
Boyfriend starts event a few hours ago, still gets to top tier reward and finishes 3rd.

Jeez, I didn't realize rubber banding was that bad.

Fortuitously, visits with my family tend to involve downtime every couple of hours or so anyway, so I was hitting nodes pretty regularly this weekend. I managed my first first place.

Yeah I was scrambling for position but couldn't keep up. I got top 400, and only just barely. With an hour left when I went to bed I was up to 215th, but I could never break that barrier without having to buy healing packs. It was ridiculous.

I managed to get groot from the Daken PVP, but I was already way out of the running for 4Thor, did managed to pull top 150 for another Cap Marvel cover though. She's my second highest covered 3 star. Can't get a loving Patch cover or anything, but hey, 9 covers on Falcon and 8 on Captain Marvel is sooooo useful.

Apparently I got the try hard group for the Thor reward. Ended in 10th place with 150k points. I played every time the nodes were full and beat them enough that I could get 6 hours of sleep and they would be recharged right when I woke up but I still lost by almost 30k. Pretty sure these people were either account sharing or only sleeping 2 hours at a time.

Except it's not the same, the Rocket and Groot you earned is meaningless and you can't participate unless you have Thora and Wesley Snipes- which I don't. I'm pretty much poo poo out of luck for this whole week.
