Taskmaster is fine you guys

e:
taskmaster: +6 to all stats = 54% damage
everyone else: +6 to all stats = 48% damage

That +6 all comes at exactly 900 points spent, split evenly. If you did those 900 points by putting six points into each of the attributes, you'd wind up +12 all, which is 108%. You could take that same number of points on any other hero and get 152% damage by dumping into a single primary attribute, or 160% by putting at least six into your other primary attribute for its +1 all proc. You probably don't want to actually do this on anybody, but the fact that he gains 1% more per gem mastery doesn't even come close to making up for the rest of his scaling.

e:

And then of course at 925 (remembering of course that if you were omega capped you are already over this) Tasky jumps to 109.5% while anybody else can be at 164%.

I get that this is a joke and/or an oforums quote (pretty sure I saw somebody in the thread post this), but seriously nobody should take that breakdown at face value.

Remember that everyone who was Omega capped started at 1000 IP.

They're not as far as gaz expected because they nerfed the poo poo out of the strongest XP gain method, incentivizing people to just rush through prestiges for costumes while that's still possible rather than ever even finishing story. I'm at red on Black Bolt and literally haven't gotten past Hood since white since five stacks of XP stick at the current server level was enough to tap out there, and there's seriously no point in doing story missions at 60 post-nerf.

We have investigated and determined that the beloved Elbow Drop did get an unintentional hit larger than the animation offsets required. It will be fixed in a future patch, bumping it back up by about 20% in total damage. It did receive some animation reductions that needed to be accounted for, but not to the degree that it was hit.

Sorry for the error!

Re: Dr. Strange Event

Asros: It will be going away with this weeks patch, however we have plans to not only do some work to convert it in to a terminal (have to change how you access it from the mission requirements, move to terminal waypoint graph, etc) but to bring all 3 Civil War terminals back (Bazarr/Cap Airport and Iron Man Airport). When we bring those back, we'll add Silver Star and Advanced Arc Reactor as drops from those 2 respective terminals.

IIXCommanderXII: Including cosmic versions of the artifacts too?

Asros: Most likely, yes.

Radspakr: Removing the cinematics from Airport?

Asros: Most likely not.

it's working on me at least, keeping the airport cinematics as part of a terminal conversion feels way stupider than anything else they've touched in the past month

If they removed the cinematics from airport they'd have to put in hundreds of trash mobs and blocking mid-bosses because otherwise you stand a chance of getting the loot you want.

Other than legendaries, if you have a stock of currency boosts (either by buying fortune card 1 with cube shards or trading in old boosts) then just farming a boss terminal at 5 marks per kill is pretty good too. A reddit post listing the loot from 2.5 hours of farming shield boost also listed over 1k odinmarks, 900+ of which was from using 5x currency boost at the same time.

That sounds like a big waste of boosts.

True, I wouldn't do it unless I was going to die in a few hours unless I got 1k odin marks, and only with currency boosts that I already got from cube shard fortune cards, but it is an option for the fastest. And if you already have the currency boosts from farming cube shard fortune cards, it's not that much of a waste to add those currency boosts to your standard skrull ssb farming.

I'm probably going to use a full set of triple boosts if that's the case. I've been playing since release and hoarded my old boosts instead of using them, but I never farmed odinmarks. After visiting the exchange vendor I now have literally hundreds of boosters but only one level 80 legendary so it's a worthy tradeoff for me.

If you are farming with boosts, get in a skrull ssb group in LFG. It will multiply your return tenfold.

ICR, I maxed Winter Soldier's ult and did ttk's on him to try to lure you back more often with an awesome time. But all the builds I tried are right at 2:40 - melee, ranged, and aoe. I think he can be pretty fun if his issues ever get patched up.

I think CMM at 5 odins per boss per wave is probably much better, unless you are doing a terminal with mini bosses like ultron or skrull invasion.

The range of acceptable times so far is 1:15-3:10, and half of the builds are between 1:47 and 2:20. He's sure consistent, but consistently not good.

At least he's not Psimitar Cable though, lol.

I shared this with the ttk thread that generates the data: I added quartile based color coding to the ttk list, and have a separate sheet for just post animation update times. Things have definitely gotten better for everyone pretty quickly, but there's some definite ugly ducklings.

None of the changes to cosmic of any kind mean anything until they give us the ability to either filter out the 99% of them that you need to dig through to get one with the stuff you want, or the ability to steadily improve the one you want when/if you find it rather than continue digging through piles of trash for a diamond that might be slightly larger than the one you have. At least uniques drop at a rate where you can go more than a single CMM without filling your inventory, and with stat distributions fixed enough so that you can just vendor everything that doesn't have a green 100% next to all the attributes.
