PEARL GROWLS "TAKE OFF THAT SHIRT, STEVEN." I COMPLY, REVEALING THE FULL LENGTH SHIRT TATTOO. PEARL RETREATS INTO HER GEM, DEFEATED.

I actually think Avengers Alliance was more fair, because if you were like me and had been playing since the start, you had an advantage, this you're hosed no matter what.

God do I miss that stupid Marvel Pokemon game, but I understand them killing it. With the X-Men lockdown in full effect and having run what, 4 years at that point, they were desperately running out of new characters to add. Still kinda mad we never got Surfer or any sort of Galactus event, but I guess they were probably firmly under the F4 embargo as well...

Goddamnit. Why did they have to add Man-Thing? I was ready to take a break, but then they had to add my favorite Marvel character. Ugh, I guess I can play for one more month.

Is this the most round about event in Avengers Academy history? You do board missions to get candy buckets to do hangouts to get flamethrowers to fight Hydra to get sunglasses to train agents to also fight Hydra to get candy to get dancing to get keys to open crates to get materials to unlock characters.

By the end, yeah, but just because you had to ride ep 1 skycycles to get the mats to ride Ep 2 skycycles etc. This is the most things they've ever had to do in episode one. At least there's very little random chance.

How do you get purple guns without buying the swamp? In the hangouts list, its the only thing that does, and its only available via crystals.

Do Ep1 orange hangouts to get purple pumpkins, then use purple pumpkins to do Ep2 hangouts. If the free Ep2 hangout isn't showing up for you, it's to the left of the free Ep1 hangout under hangout selection.

Seriously, though, gently caress this event. There's a minimum 17 hour progression hurdle just to start farming materials for the first character unlock.

Maybe your page isn’t scrolling right? There’s also a chat option, with a police box as the icon. It’s the leftmost one.

Look at that post.

The first time I did the dance hangout after episode 2 started I didn't get any purple pumpkins. If that's what happening to you, just try doing it again (and waiting another loving 4 hours).


The event really does suck.

What you have to do is click the hangout action to get back to the list, and choose it again.

Leaving it pre-selected is the episode 1 version (even though it's no longer an option) because Tinyco.

Yeah, it's super annoying but at least combat level doesn't seem gated by character level.

No no, I have an even better idea. They're controlled by RNG, but in order to even have a chance at them you need to win with ANOTHER RNG! *everyone gets a raise*

The other stuff is all consistent. It's actually less RNG than usual for normal progression, just not the rank items.

This is how Family Guy Quest for Stuff works. You need to gather stuff to unlock characters and buildings and it was all RNG gated AND time sensative. Need 10 lube to unlock Geordi during the Star Trek event? Better get them all withing 48 hours with an 6 hour time between drops.

Meanwhile I'm kind of adoring the Future Fight version of everything. "Here, have a new mode with a bunch of crap and also if you've leveled the characters you get some bonus stuff on top."

I've only gotten Dum Dum from this event as I just don't give a single drat about anyone else involved, I'm close to dropping this altogether if we don't get a main story expansion soon, but I'm sure at this point TinyCo has no idea how to actually continue things without making people pay up and the monthly events are the only thing financially keeping this alive.

Yeah, it's great. Too bad it's loving impossible to get unless you want to pay for it. And that's supposed to be one of the F2P costumes. This event loving sucked and I only kept up because I really wanted Man Thing.
