got a kingpin black cover and a handful of 3* covers for heroes i had already championed in the pvp 10 pack last night, so it wasn't a total bust. i still don't even see the point of off-season pvp though. the rewards are almost never worth anything and because the point totals aren't contributing to any kind of on-going goal, they're just minor time sinks for iso and hp

I don't really play off season PvP competitively, I'll get to 650 or so for the tokens but I won't burn shields on it. I don't play much PvE anymore either, maybe a new character release but that's it. Limiting what I play is the only way I can keep playing this game.

The alliance I'm in is fun and if I wasn't in this alliance I would have quit playing some time ago.

Two of the people in that ridiculous screenshot are in the alliance that wants specifically to beat down the all-women off-season alliance. It was super hard to track down 20 women who can score 1k+ but we managed to pull off t10 in both off-season events last time.
Most alliances are all dudes so we're competing with a lot of all-male alliances by default but clearly they have to put together a team of the heaviest hitters to put us in our place.

Huh, didn't hear about that bit of drama. I'm pretty sure we have some women players, I honestly don't really think about it, they're just screen names to alliance mates to me. That's pretty loving weak though.

The game has some interesting drama, like 5DV hating cupcakes and putting out snipers.

PS: This event sucks, I'm getting beat up pretty hard

Oh no, did I hit you by mistake? If so, I absolutely apologize. I generally don't look at the names in PvP. I've actually hit my own alliance mates before :(....

Edit: Also, what are these chatrooms that you guys hang out in? How are you finding them helpful? I usually just join a slice, grind, collect rewards, rinse and repeat.

Intangible you always play in the first time slice? I saw you in shield simulator too, the game seems to think we should hit each other.

Yeah, I usually pick the first slice. I get up at 5am EST every morning and that gives me some time to make the final push to the 1K reward before work.

edit: When that slice ends at 8am, that is. I will pick slice 3 when it ends at 6AM.

When you say online, do you mean on SA, or MPQ? I can be online in either for another 30 or so minutes.

dumb heroic event with debatably worse pve scaling changes

holy poo poo because of the specific heroes you're locked into using, I almost lost the very first heroic node vs juggs and two mooks. my best team was under-leveled patch and quicksilver and way under-covered thing and juggs just loving ran circles around everyone. heroic pve are the dumbest things in their current implementation. I get the idea and it's not terrible in theory, but the current execution just sucks sucks sucks

The thing with Heroics is that you can make content that requires certain characters to participate in, and you can make content that scales up to the level of your strongest characters, but you reeeeeeeeally should not make content that requires certain characters to participate in WHILE scaling to the level of your strongest characters. But hey, that's the D3 difference.

i guess howard the duck is the next devil dino type mascot character they're releasing? the d3 official boards have the devs disclosing a release schedule that his him offered across various reward tiers over 4 different pve & pvp events.

is howard the duck that loving popular? the only thing i can even think of off-hand about howard the duck is some bizarre live-action 80's sci-fi movie, and some cartoon in the 90's on USA that jason alexander did the VA for.

i'm just amazed that a joke character is getting this super involved release schedule but multiple actually cool characters still have no planned release at all.

well, that explains it easily enough. my own direct participation in actual comics ended right around civil war / secret invasion, so there's likely a lot of stuff that's past my mental water mark.

since the main trick d3 likes to pull is releasing the same character at a different rarity with slightly different powers, i'd love to see a set of avengers based on the original 2 volumes of millar's the ultimates. cap's red would absolutely have to be "YOU THINK THIS A STANDS FOR FRANCE?"

Honestly thought that the "Our next release is Howard the Duck!" notification from last Friday upon logging in was just a really low-effort April Fool's gag on their part, but if they're doubling down on it, sure, why not.

I recently joined a PVP alliance (TopHalf) and we're looking for four new members. Only requirements are daily play and scoring a minimum of 6000 in the season. Last season we were around 115 overall. Even in PVE (not required), with 16 members, we're right on the verge of top 250. So, you'll get a bunch of tokens and HP.

I'm not the commander so tell me your last season score/username and I'll pass it on.

I'm still in 3* land. When you think about it, 6000 in the season is 500 an event plus 1000 in the simulator. That's very doable if you have a good selection of 3* and shield up within the last 8 hours (directly after the final points push)

Last season I think I was around 7700 (thanks to my newly championed Luke Cage)

SectumSempra posted:

6000 is manageable if you have a decent 3* roster and enough free time to grind out points. you could probably even pull it off with a 2* roster as long as they were decently far into champion territory, it'd just take longer per event and you'd end up eating through a lot more health packs.

honestly the biggest investment is your time. if you're fortunate enough to have a 4* roster (or beyond) you can pull the same finish in a much shorter time - matches are over more quickly, which means you tend to take less damage, which means your health packs last longer, which means you can take on more threatening teams that typically are worth more points (instead of grinding out 20 point trash) and you may also have fewer people trying to hit you back. but if you have the time to burn, you could do the same with a 2* team.

I'm interested. I can't see what my last season was anymore but my guess would be that it was over 6000. I'm generally in the top 10 and have recently gotten the top spot a few times. Puzzle Quest name same as here
