Just got back into this after nearly a year away just last week. Having a good time blah blah whatever.

So earlier today, in the span of one session of cosmic midtown omega grinding. I got both the White Gorilla Spear and the Unique slot 2 from Sinister. The game clearly wants me to play a summoner type. Which summoner is in the best place right now? Or I guess which one should I avoid playing if they're in a really bad place presently? I have all of the summoner types except Doom unlocked, but I can get him with no issue.

Get Doom. Doom owns and he's got a non-pet spec if you want to blast some fools but still want to hear him poo poo all over the other heroes and also himself.

I first played this game when it sucked was finding its growth edges, and I'm now back because teleporting Russian Queens of Hell are cool.

I've got a slew of Fortune Cards, Mystic Mayhem Coffers, Coffers of Achievement (etc. etc. etc.), is there any reason I should wait to max level to open these, or is it okay to loot them at lvl20?

Holy cow I can't wait to stream this. I'm going to lose my voice a second time on these times and the hilarious stuff some of you all do.

I'll set the time ASAP and can't wait again. Fallout had to millisecond everybody's time because some are so ridiculously close. Got one that is .02 away from the other. Some of these are jawdropping. Some of these are hilarious.

Basically, I'm getting really excited again. Eschports!

Crack fortune cards anytime. The coffers should be saved for 60 as you can get uniques from them and you spend more time at 60 than leveling. That said uniques are easier to come by these days so if the leveling is going slow feel free to pop a few and see what you get. Can always save the lower level uniques for prestiging.

When did they make the change where you couldn't sell anything if it exceeded money cap? I know people had bitched about selling all their credit chests by accident, but I don't remember it stopping you before.

Good to know, thanks. How about the rate of Eternity Shards? I started with about 200, and I've been playing through low-level content and only have 225. Does the drop rate improve as you get to 60, or is it supposed to push you towards paying for characters with real money?

Depends on if everyone collectively decides to phone it in or not. I think you'll be pretty safe if you're at the minute mark. But I'm prepared to eat my own words there and go back to XCom.

I am trying to get a better time but Black Cat is just so loving bad at clearing trash, and it doesn't help that Shocker terminal just doesn't have a lot of enemies so about half the time I won't get enough kills for the bounty without backtracking.

I would say upper quartile 50s, lower quartile 1.10, so probably under a min is fine

It doesn't get any better. I think it comes out to 33 to 53 hours to get 400 ES or something.

You can buy eternity boost potions when they are in the store (they are right now). You get 60 hours of boosts for $20. The boost gives you 2+ ES each time they drop and the timer only counts when you are outside a hub. Three and five drops are pretty common, sometimes even higher. It's probably not worth it if you're buying specific heroes because it's about 2/3 the cost of just buying a hero without spending hours grinding. But it's very nice if you don't have many heroes and are buying those 175 ES random hero boxes (until you get a duplicate).

The other good way to get heroes is to buy them when they do BOGO sales every month or two. They give you a random hero w/ every hero purchase (G purchases only). It's good to save the cheap heroes for BOGO sales if you want to whale responsibly. :coolfish:

Best time to eat an eternity splinter boost potion is during the mayhem limbo event because the 10 drop is changed to a 63 drop. You'll get a lot more if you boost special item find during it and only leave the hub to kill something after your drop timer is reset again. That varies based on your SiF but it should be easy to get it down to 6 minutes.

Nobody's said it yet, but you will get one Splinter every 8 minutes at 0% SIF with a small chance of a 2 or 10-drop. If you get some SIF your timer decreases slightly.

If you pop a Splinter Boost or Guardians potion you get a guaranteed bonus Splinter on 1-drops and each stack has a chance to get a bonus Splinter. So what you will see is 2, 2/1, 2/2, 3/2 or 10.

Iceman is good. Doom is good. Loki is good.
