Do you have Iron Cap? I don't, and trying to get my team strong enough to beat the last city is taking loving forever.

I did it with Riri, Ultron and Whiplash.

Riri is like 10/10 and still pretty drat weak so I think she could be replaced by just about anyone. Ultron was key for me though.

I did it with Riri (6/10), Whiplash (7/10) and Iron Lad (7/10). It said Medium chance but did it with about 400HP remaining.

Alllright, anyone got a good guess on the drop rate for the Jane Foster Thor/America Chavez in the Ultimate Armor crate? Is it cheaper to just wait and hope it's not too hard to get Thor when the Thor 3 event kicks off?

So, the good news is that it doesn't look like you can draw a costume for a character you don't have in this crate. The bad news is that the odds of getting yet another Iron Man costume are still too high to reliably draw a new character. It has a better ratio of good rewards to chaff than a typical Captain America costume crate, don't get me wrong, but it's still a risk.

Word on the street is that the second last and maybe the last mission have a horrible drop rate for tea cakes.

I got the first eight no problem, had to do one mission twice to get it. But I have done the second last mission three times with no second tea cake.
The drops for the cards to rank up Crimson Dynamo post event are also supposed to be a wall of pain.

I did the last fight about 8 times before just saying "gently caress it" and spending the 250 shards. And with that I stopped the event. Couldn't get anyone past level 3 because of the loving insane requirements where you would have needed to buy generators and that extra building. This event loving sucked.

I slacked off on this event and only got Iron Lad and Whiplash. Would have liked Yellowjacket as well, but whatevs. I got a new job which means more money to blow on shards for this dumb game. Hooray.

Wait wait wait. "Early access"? As in, she will be made available at a later date? Because I would really appreciate getting her, she seems fun.

...or is she "early access" in the same way Thor and Hulk are, and that is to say, "Only through shards payment"?

Aphrodite
Jun 27, 2006

Well, both.

You can get her now but she will later be a free story character. Thor and Hulk are the same situation but early for shards.

I guess I might as well ask this while I'm at it.

I'm level 36. Hulk normally unlocks at leel 35, according to his sheet. I don't have access to Hulk. Have I just not reached the main story checkpoint when he's unlockable?

I did it with Enchantress at 8/7, Whiplash 7/6, and Iron Man at 7/6. It was still only a medium chance but I won with like 10 hp left.

Yeah... this event sucked. The healing is such a pain when compared to the Spider-Man event we just had.
Hopefully Defenders is insta-heal, since it sounds like I need to unlock a lot of previously-available characters

Instant heals wouldn't have made much of a difference with the trainings being so hard to craft in between the stuff you needed.

Yea if i could get it to medium I could just burn the med packs I have to defeat it finally.

I'm not getting anymore fuel, so no chances to get the shields anymore.

I'm definitely giving up on Dynamo but should manage to just get Yellowjacket. At least Whiplash has a better L3 costume than his L5 so I can just stop upgrading when he gets there.

I also completely botched this event. Didn't even get Yellowjacket: I only hit episode 3 yesterday and I figured I wasn't going to unlock him anyway, so I might as well get some golden coins instead.

Guys I had €20 of disposable income. And instead of buying shards to do more attempts at heroic fights to possible earn hats to craft into cards which would rank up the Crimson Dynamo by one rank and have no cosmetic effect, I spent the money on pants. In the real world.

I think I have a problem.

Yea I'm pumped for Thor because we'll sure as hell get Valkyrie, Hela, Skaar and maybe I'll get another chance for Beta Ray Bill. I'm not sure what Halloween might be, They've already done Vampires and Monsters Unleashed, so maybe Marvel Zombies? I was reading that Christmas time sees a spike in people buying stuff in mobile games because they're just primed to spend more around the holidays. That's not really surprising, but putting X-men event out that that time will easily get people to dump money. I know I would if I wanted at least half the characters the event had available. Though I'm worried an X-men event would just be the same ones that FF gave us.

This is the worst event. Locking the spray paint behind the scrolls is the stupidist idea. It's been nearly a week and I'm not even close to getting Foggy.
