Boss times were never my problem, I was pretty easily beating most of the heroes in the game on the boss times alone, but clearing elites took forevvvvvvverrrrr.

I tried Ultron mode with her, and it wasn't pretty. Apparently, the Yellows in the first bit keep following you, and only you. I didn't finish that run.

Related: Ultron mode only seems worth it if you can guarantee all gold, but the standard public thing seems to be Silver on Cages, Gold on EMP, Silver on 5 Bots, Silver Ultron, which means the whole thing is kind of a waste of time. 4 Hero Commendations and a standard character-specific unique isn't really worth the effort. What else do you get if you get 4x Gold?

Yep this is how it goes for about 2 dozen of the pub Ultrons I've done. Silver, Gold, Silver, Silver every single time. Isn't worth it for the time investment, because you basically get nothing out of a silver chest. Gotta do it with the SG. It's great loot when you gold all four.

The XP is horrible either way so unless they make some adjustments people will do it until they get the zone specific drops and then never touch it again which is a shame.

Yeah I really dig the concept of Ultron mode as a more compact, objective driven dungeon. I want more like it.

Oh, that's right, I forgot about the XP. And the fact that ES sometimes seem to spawn on the other side of the map.

Wait, why is Stretcho getting a unique pass? I thought his damage was fine, and people just bitch about him being clunky and immobile.

Because I can name a few characters that need it a bit more. A certain air force major, for example.

because they were going to do this like a year ago and have said several times over the intervening months that his item changes "will be on next TC patch!"

also same thing with muspelheim raid unique buffs (fraglite was the only one they did immediately) which were announced to be getting their pass around the same time

Most of his uniques are far behind the power curve at this point. I've replaced all of them except for his slot 3 and 4 with any-hero uniques. Slot 3 would have been replaced with a viper kiss if I ever found one.

At this point in the game's lifespan I think the roadblock to good times for everyone is the instance specific drop poo poo.

Just make it all drop everywhere, even if the lore nerds have a shitfit. Make SWGNs drop in Ultron chests, make Goks and Nazi Coats have the chance to drop everywhere. Their development model is lightning fast on the new characters, and comparatively slow on the new zones/content for the characters to experience. They have to play to this strength. People don't x-defense anymore because why would you?

The hook should be quantity. "Whoa there are 15 heroes I wanna gear up and play because they're cool/I like em!" and that's already in place.

I got lucky getting an Iron Legion Sheath and EMP device in the first 4-5 times doing the game mode with the SG and golding all the waves. Since then it's been the one unique from the wave 2 chest and the tokens, and it takes about 20 minutes. There's pretty much no reason for anyone who has these items, via drops or trading, to run the brand new thing anymore a few days after release. Especially since one of the zone drops (sheath) might as well be good on 2 characters out of 48.

If it had a chance to drop the desirable stuff from all the other places, I'll x up every time because its a really fun game mode. On the other hand, when I'm playing I'm looking for loot and XP, and if a zone doesn't have the chance for a drop I want and awards worse XP than normal midtown then well... *toilet flushes*

I'm hoping the talked about crafting overhaul will address this and allow me to do things like trade X dozen Man-Ape medallions for a lowest-roll SWGN so that yeah you don't have an amazing item but at least you have one that you can then pour resources into rerolling rather than just slamming your face into a single terminal for hours with your fingers crossed.

In the Avengers comics Dr. Doom just pulled off an insane gambit that will probably end up saving the multiverse. He killed a bunch of Molecule Men, then made a religion about killing Molecule Men. It's probably the coolest part of Hickman's Avengers. The only part I really like at least.

Friend is a one-way street in this game, people aren't asked to approve you adding them to your list. So you just add him and send him a gift.

He was sending people iBoosts in return for whatever they sent him for a while but I can't imagine he'll keep doing that now.
