I've gotten loving unlucky on 3 of my Galactus matches where SW's countdown tile didn't get me a 5-match or got destroyed during a cascade. It's friggin' weird.

Round 6 the board is just too cluttered with garbage for it to be able to convert anything or you're dead before it ever resolves.

Even in round 5 I'm being taken down before I can fire off a single ability. I'm never gonna get that cyclops  I don't understand why all the lockouts are necessary in this event. Would it have broken the game so much if they just gave you a preset number of tries against Galactus regardless of your hero stable? Or even if they just cycled the lockouts that you didn't have!!! They only refresh if you finish them, so if you run into a situation where you don't have any of the 5, you are straight up locked out of the event.

SW passive can't convert cosmic tiles, so if there are enough surrounding the countdown tile you get a poo poo resolution.

The only thing I can say is you need criticals and as many board shakeups as possible to survive, even then its luck. Cyc, loki, obw Cyc can help with cascades by creating red, his red destroys rows, and his black is main damage source besides critical matches OBW's blue can increase countdowns, if you need her purple, it's too late, if you didn't level the other 2 dweebs up she steals his black on matches. Loki's shuffle is cheap as gently caress, you can start one match away if you use a purple+blue boost. You kinda have to match purple, then blue or yellow, and they pray loki can chain shuffle. combined with cyc's yellow you have a decent chance of some cascades, but overall this event is a load of poo poo, if not blue matches will help slow some countdowns down that are out. -Don't use health packs, just keep an eye on his ap, when its going near 30 just forfeit by pressing pause at top of screen and leave, you only lose like 33% of you health i think. Also the lovely loving pieces of poo poo turned scaling on the essential nodes, but changed nothing else in the event.

Ultron killed one character at a time, this is a 4 turn unsurvivable wipe from someone who can generate max ap of all colors in 4 turns. But if I remember right, they switched to to damaging all people last run, they just don't like players enjoying their game.

The difference between this year and last is that we are handing out a LOT more Anniversary tokens when you play. Check the Black Vortex PVP Progression Rewards, we more than doubled the number of tokens you can earn.

I also find it weirdly funny how some people are going like "This event is made for whales with strong rosters!" I could have the most blinged out roster and go in with fully covered and leveled Silver Surfer and Old Man Logan and I'd achieve results only marginally better (actually probably worse, since OML and SS aren't exactly speedsters when it comes to ap accumulation) than with my current one. This event isn't made for whales (except in the fact they can might health packs with HP). It's not made for anyone.

My current setup for Round 6 is Prof X(5/2/5)/GSBW(5/3/5)/and Scarlet Witch(3/5/5), the typical winfinite combo, boosted with pink/blue. The wanda tile sometimes never goes off or if it does it doesn't do much, so I'm considering changing her out for 3*Bullseye which can create a separate cascade using the green AP GSBW will hopefully generate. Either way this all sucks

it seriously wouldn't be so bad if there was no artificial limit on how many times you could fight galactus. have the five nodes escalate in difficulty but set it up so that each one give 1/3/5/7/9 attempts per successful clear, so people at all roster levels can pace themselves however they want. seriously, with galactus wiping you by turn 3/4, the need to burn health packs on repeat attempts should be all the barrier they need.

I guess then people might just send their whole roster in one team at a time to chip away at him, this way you have to use your best characters and really strategerize. gently caress this event though, in round 6 you're hosed on the 3rd turn if you get a lovely board.

 You can force close the phone app to get another shot at the big node and also log your damage against Galactus Be sure to force close on your turn. If it comes to Galactus's turn where hes gonna eat the stuff and then kill you its already too late. It wont update your personal score but it will add to the alliance damage.

Yeah his post sealed the deal. I'm done with this game. Time and time again these idiots have shown they don't know what the hell they're doing. They can't keep their servers online, even when they know a rush of people are coming. Their "gameplay" (and I use that term loosely) design is beyond pathetic. Yes, we purposely designed this awesome anniversary event to be the gaming equivalent of slamming your dick in a car door repeatedly. I'm going to find something else to play on my phone. I'm not having fun anymore.

There's no sense of progress or achievement with Galactus at all. By level 6 it's literally become "send 3 guys at him, lose in 3-4 turns, watch a bar fill up a little bit, repeat" until you run out of chances and have to wait another 8 hours. The other anniversary events better be good because so far they're off to a loving terrible start.

Just to toss further insight in. He mentions that the rewards are good cyclops and legendary tokens. The legendary token is a solo reward at 1,250,000. Round 8 is complete at 5,900,000 There are 20 people in an alliance. The people getting to rounds 6 and 7 are force quitting unfavorable boards. Even they won't all be able to get the legendary.

I don't think you understand. This is Galactus we are talking about here. He's strong and we are merely ants to him which he pushes away. Actually that kinda sounds like an analogy for the devs.

I still laugh at the fact that they still decided to change that one part of the event. 'oops scalings off, anyway back to tossing your face at a 4 turn boss fight' Only abuse galactus from here on out. Go obw, damage, loki, start with boosts, force quit before he get his last turn.

SectumSempra posted:Just to toss further insight in. I'm mad at this event too but c'mon let's at least do some thinking. Getting mad for the wrong reasons just makes you look dumb. Personal scores are for the accumulated total of what you get across every phase, which is 16,885,000. In addition the devs have said (though I would not be surprised if this was not the case) that you can continue to run even after all progression rewards have been met. What you should be mad about is that even assuming perfect refreshes and more wins vs Big G than losses it's loving impossible to get the legendary token within the time allotted simply because the numbers aren't there.

we're both saying the numbers aren't there just in different ways. And I'm pretty sure I'm still more bothered by the fact that we're expected to lose. but ok. I'm curious as to where your 16 million figure comes from. https://d3go.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=33376&start=220 like two of the posts there go over the fact that you have 7 screw ups in total to safely get a legendary, if you're perfect final round, which no one will be.
