It's the fact that you literally can only have 2 people walking around on their phones at one time that's infuriating, I understand the dance pad but it's such a chokepoint on the whole event I can barely level anyone up...

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

That's why they put out the Haunted Avengers Graveyard. It is another place that let's you do Hangouts. And these ones only take 2 hours...

And all it costs is 995 shards. Tiny Co. We know how to make money.

They're relaunching the comic line, they're making multiple Legends figures, their latest Funko box is X-Men themed, they're making a TV show with FOX based in the X-Men movie universe, did Ike Perlmutter die or something? I don't know if he's responsible for the X-Men shutdown but it totally seems like something he would do...

Yeah I found the whole "You can unlock Blade using your million pumpkins you didn't use for character upgrades, or you can get this crappy deco of Cap-Wolf instead!" thing to be incredibly humorous. That said, I have a bunch lined up along my outer wall.

On another topic, is anyone else's game getting hard to load? It's taking 3 to 4 attempts of the app crashing to get it to open for me lately ever since I downloaded iOS 10, I'm wondering if the game is starting to collapse under its own character weight which is making it difficult to load, especially during events where there's extra crap around...

Look at that post.

I'm on android and it spends like a minute on the loading screen and then like 10-30 seconds for all the characters and deco to pop in.

It depends, but i've had super smooth loading times, and then super janky ones. It's very inconsistant.

And loving hell, there's not enough traps to fight Dracula in his second tier in the time allotted. It's easier to just let him drop to tier 1 and kill him quickly.

I somehow managed to get both Tigra and Ant Man's costumes out of the pay crate (I was saving money for Blade but since he's a ridiculous unlock I figured I could splurge), and man, Tigra loving wrecks everything. I'm up to Streak 19 and finishing it after 3-4 battles. I also somehow still have 120+ traps leftover and like 50k candy corn, I feel like resources other than pumpkins this event haven't been hard to come by at all...

I'm running it on a Nexus 7 2013 and it sucks. It's better between events, but that's only ever a few days.

I'd like to run it on my iPad Pro but until they have cross-platform saves I can't do that.

I cut this box close.

I'll get 2 more shots at Dracula, and I have 2 more prizes left. Those shots only get me up to 30 keys though. Luckily buying 6 keys is only 90 shards, and my 2 prizes are the costume or 50 shards. So if I don't get the costume on my first pull, I'm only paying out 40 to get it.

Just a heads up, if anyone else is having problems with the game load times/loading at all (at least on iOS as I have previously stated I was), I just deleted the app, turned my iPhone on and off to clear out the cache and reinstalled and hoo boy the difference is night and day. It loads the first time I try in like 10 seconds, so feel free to do that if you're having problems. Just make sure you've connected to Gamecenter beforehand, you can get your game data from that, otherwise you'll probably need a screenshot of the opening splash screen so they can get that 50 character long code in the corner for your account...

With that said, the only thing out of the box I didn't get was some bags and the costume because of course I didn't get the costume...

There's a mission with 3 1m actions, then a 2 hour action that uses like 6 characters.

You also probably need Satana first if you don't have her yet.

Man, I was saving as many pumpkins and candy as I could to see if I'd have a shot at Blade, but now that I see the requirements I probably will just pump it all into leveling everyone. Needing like 200 of each pumpkin plus 200k in candy plus being strong enough to beat Mephisto's level 5 is absolutely ridiculous, I can't imagine what people are spending to get to that level...

Interview for the Dr. Strange event is up.

twistedmentat's prayers have been answered, because it confirms an upcoming A Force event.


Edit: poo poo I just skimmed it the first time, I think they hinted at X-Men finally?

quote:

Marvel.com: Will players be able to finally slam shut the dimensional rift in this event, or could we see more terrors come through in the future?

Allen Warner: Anything is possible, but if players are able to help the Avengers and heroic sorcerers succeed, I think we'll be done with dimensional rifts for now. As you can guess, that doesn't mean that everyone is safe. A conqueror will emerge from the timefog. Monsters will be unleashed. An embittered robot will start a revolution. A new school will make its presence known, and challenge Avengers Academy's status as the greatest institution for heroes with powers. And that's just a small sample of what's coming.

Marvel.com: Can you give us any hints on what’s coming next for the Avengers Academy students and faculty once Kaecilius is dealt with?

Allen Warner: There have been clues about a known enemy of Asgard who finally got his hands on one of the most powerful artifacts in the universe just in time for winter. A legendary warrior will try to stop him, calling on her most powerful friends and allies to form A Force strong enough to save the world.

There was something recent from Marvel that was basically "Oh yea we may be adding x-men to your favorite games soon" which would basically mean AA and FF.

A Force means Captain Marvel, She Hulk, Nico, Medusa, Singularity and hopefully Dazzler.

More like a Deinonychus with a pedicure.

Dunno who else is premium but I liked Runaways so I might get Nico.

But goddamn can we have a little more breathing room between events? I barely had time to get on with my regular quests between Halloween ending and this one popping up. And Hell's Kitchen. And Civil War. And Guardians.

Edit: Wait, just saw Iron Man's wizard costume. It's all worth it again.

We don't know that for sure. She could just have some obtuse unlock requirement that gets revealed at the last minute like Blade.

Tell me about it. I reinstalled this game yesterday after I read the preview article. I thought hey, there's going to be a few days before the event starts, maybe I could unlock the Gamma Zone before the event starts if I act fast. Then this event dropped before I could even finish upgrading the Archives.

It's really obnoxious how much effort goes into getting the dodads to build the stuff you need to fight the guys to get the dodads to build the other stuff to fight the other guy.

The DC mobile game is okay, its kinda like MAA mixed with Future Fight, but it's got a really annoying tutorial that just takes forever to get though.
