Yeah a return to the Sharon Rogers TL meta is fantastic. :rolleyes:

Such skill. Much excitement. Happy fun times are here.

It's different this time around. Now there's a bunch of characters that can reliably take her out, whereas back when she was the TL meta the first time around the only good counter was your own sharon.

Fair enough. Original Sharon TL was probably the only one worse than the Strange/Wasp TL.

Just did my ten battles and it was exactly what you'd expect, ten teams with Sharon Rogers and some trash.

I really like the new changes to timeline but I suspect it's going to suck hard for newer players.

Because she has a p drat deece leadership that works for both Iron Fist and Kamala and her T2 passive also prevents stuff like getting stunned by Sharon.

New iron fist costume is great craic against Sharon. It's easy to time IFs immune to damage when you see Sharon wind up for hers. It's on such a short cooldown too so it's always ready first.

Master Racon Update, 3/17/2017:

I have reclaimed my rightful throne, and intend to keep it that way.


For those trying to get to the top of someone's board, minor upgrades can make huge differences. A 2* uru to a 3* uru, for example, can be up to 600 points. As can upgrading a uniform 'option bonus' uniform. Upgrading Crossbones' uni for my Racon was about 4-500 points on its own.

So if you've looked in the sub menu under character ranking, you may or may not have noticed an "Event Character" setting under the filter, though nothing's in it right now.
This datamining seems to point to its possible significance.

qfuw posted:

So according to the data-mined game file:
Your characters' rankings are not merely for bragging rights, but rather, you will earn some rewards based on their rankings.
There are 5 different groups. What are those groups? Do the groups refer to certain groups of characters? Or different groups are for different festivals / events? It is not known at the moment. Your guess?
Anyway, the rewards in each group are listed as follows:

Group 1
Rank Reward
1st to 199th 3 mil gold, 300 debris, 300 GUK
200th to 1099th 2 mil gold, 200 debris, 200 GUK
1100th to 3000th 1 mil gold, 100 debris, 100 GUK
777th 2 mil gold

Group 2
Rank Reward
1st to 199th 320 bio-selector, 50 norn-selector
200th to 1099th 200 bio-selector, 30 norn-selector
1100th to 3000th 100 bio-selector, 10 norn-selector
777th 200 bio-selector

Group 3
Rank Reward
1st to 199th 1 R5-BAM, 1 6* ISO of growth
200th to 1099th 1 R4-BAM, 1 5* ISO of growth
1100th to 3000th 1 R3-BAM, 1 4* ISO of growth
777th 1 R4-BAM

Group 4
Rank Reward
1st to 199th 300 CNS, 1 6* ISO of growth
200th to 1099th 200 CNS, 1 5* ISO of growth
1100th to 3000th 100 CNS, 1 4* ISO of growth
777th 200 CNS

Group 5
Rank Reward
1st to 199th 170 UUK, 1 5* obelisk chest
200th to 1099th 120 UUK, 1 4* obelisk chest
1100th to 3000th 70 UUK, 1 3* obelisk chest
777th 120 UUK

Stay tuned for v2.9.5 datamined info Vol. 2!
Here is a sneak peek:
New game mode: Wakanda-themed Alliance Domination!
Names of some of the new maps: "Birnin T'Chaka", "Birnin Djata", "Mount Kanda"

I don't know I just binged the whole series and I thought it was OK. I kinda get where the bad reviews are coming from but if you like the other Netflix Marvel shows then you'll probably still enjoy Iron Fist.

yeah its just...the fight scenes were so bad. the editing of them provided no continuity of the fight and the angles they were shot showed consistently punches that were missing or people waiting to get punched via a cut. It was really really poor fight scene choreography with a lot of bad editing and direction. you just couldn't follow it like all of a sudden people are flying through the air from a punch you didnt see or leaping off a wall whereas literally in the cut before they were in the middle of the room. just zero flow to the fights and no way to follow them.

whoever was doing the fights should have let the rza do them all or get like, gordon liu up in there to teach these idiots how to do kung fu or even just sat them down and showed them tons of hours of shaw brothers films like 36 chambers or five deadly venoms or master of the flying guillotine. im a huge kung fu film fan and kung fu fan in general and its one of the things that led me to love iron fist in the first place and this stuff was just so bad to watch.

I think the thing that most pissed me off was that apparently danny is an idiot. Like I get they were trying to show he had a child like innocence to contrast being an immortal weapon due to the plane crash at 10 but the way it played out was just infuriating.

Feb 24, 2007



Or just do what I do: never watch the shows or read comics. I actually find out characters exist when a new update drops. Well, obviously I knew that Iron Man or Captain America existed because they're common pop culture presences, but people like Black Bolt or Deathlok were totally new to me. It's a fairly enjoyable perspective for me.

Counterpoint: I don't really care much about fight choreography and it clearly wasn't up to Daredevil standards but it just seemed like pretty standard American style Kung fu action. I've seen a lot of Hong Kong movies and I know what you're talking about but I just don't care all that much and the rest of the show was fine.

There should be something really special for being #1

Like every week when the rankings are tallied, Netmarble mails Greywords a live raccoon that he has to care for. Eventually his house will be infested with racons that live in the walls and come out at night to tear up the carpet and furniture, and we could all have a good, friendly laugh about it.
