wheres the jester, I could do with some pointless nonsense right about now

I actually spent some money to ensure that I would get Black Knight. Up until now I haven't missed one free hero. My objective is to walk out of this with all free heroes and one box hero, which seems doable.

The Question IRL
Jun 8, 2013

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

I had all the free heroes it's giving away. I thought I would be able to get two box heroes (because I really wanted Punisher. But from all the annicdotial evidence I'm hearing you can only get him on your third or fourth box. Which is horseshit, but whatever.)

So I figured if I got Five keys from each boss I could do two boxes. And that was going fine.

Then this week they decide instead of you having six characters to fight the boss with...you only get five.
And the boss, Ronan, is just as hard as any other boss. So making it that you only have five characters to throw at him means you can't run two full teams. It's so rigged.

Look at that post.

Yeah I'm giving up now. I managed to open one box (Electro). I also picked up Captain Britain, which I'm happy about because I like him but it is some bullshit that he could only fight 3 out of 4 bosses. Pretty disappointed overall.

So is the Hawkeye thing gonna be an actual event, or is it just gonna be an expansion of the main storyline? I thought Hawkeye was supposed to be a main line characer since he's been in the COMING SOON log for forever, and I could totally see them making Kate the pay to play character for this story string...

It's supposed to be an Ultron event.

Hawkeye is probably going to be the first event character that you can get just by playing the game, while Kate and whoever else that's joining will be premium or harder to get.

Lurks With Wolves
Jan 14, 2013

At least I don't dance with them, right?
Here's my guess for the Ultron event's recruits: Clint is going to be some form of early access. Hopefully as a free recruit, possibly as a premium character if they want to get one last scrap of money from the Hawkeye fans before he's part of the story. (They could make him into just an event character, but come on. The Blasting Range lvl3 quest would directly lead into recruiting him if the story didn't cut off immediately before him.) Kate is... probably also going to be free, because this is the Hawkeye event as much as the Ultron event and they're going to want us to have a Hawkeye to work for that we won't get for free a month from now. I won't be that surprised if she ends up premium, though.

The Ultron event is going to give us Clint and Kate, also Viv Vision, Jacosta and of course Pizza Dog as characters.

If i had to guess, Viv and Pizza Dog will be Premium.

Yea, I'd also shell out for Viv as well, though I'd wish Vision was cheaper. He's like 40bux worth of crystals or something?

It seems like a suspiciously high number of people are getting Jack O' Lantern. I've heard rumors that the odds are skewered so that he's the first guy jumping out of the crates.

If you're going to buy Lucky, I recommend having MODOK take him for a walk.

Ultron's usually right about the issues, just not the solution.

There's only one thing in the mountains that leaves a track like this. The creature of legend that roams the Timberline. My people named him Sasquatch. You call him... Bigfoot.
It is really kind of awkward that the first two people on the list for Viv's "Trust fall" activity have been Mary Jane or Spider-Gwen every time. But I wouldn't put it past the game to make that deliberate.

You do but his stats don't increase as much as previous bosses did.

He has 7200 attack and 18k HP at streak 7. Ultron had 14000 attack and 103k HP.


My attack team has about 6600 attack and 28k HP, so I probably don't even have to boost them to take down streak 7.
