So apparently you can just get BM bios from dimension shifters in the new story chapters. So, there's that.

I had trouble too till I put a 1* mastery Red Hulk as my lead, the immune to burn made it a ton easier, might have to kite a few times on Wolverine to get health up but other than that it was pretty straightforward, used a 3* Red Hulk with 1* mastery as lead then Wolvie and Strange but never had to swap to Strange.

Great tip, I will try that. Thanks.

They gave us 1750 crystals for free and the first pull is guaranteed to give you one of the new dudes. If you still see the same people lighting up for buying the boxes in a few days then you're correct.

Did they do this by VIP level or something? I didn't get any free crystals . . .

Yeah the "OH WELL UNINSTALLED" responses are really eye-rolly to me.

As I said in the discord, part of this is that this has been building, this was the wrong time to make this kind of misstep and that's why I'm done.

I'm not going to rage at people and say 'if you don't uninstall you're literally the devil'. If you're not at endgame, there's still plenty to do without having to buy rng characters, and that's fine. However, quite a few of us are at the very end, in fact I had every single character in the game at 6/6/60 4/20 before this patch. At the point I'm at the primary content is the new characters, and locking them in a gambling/gacha/etc. box was just too much. The cards and gears? They aren't content, they're for .1%ers.

In the end, it comes down to super bad experiences with gacha in the past. Spending the equivalent of 100 USD of cash-shop currency (earned as in-game rewards) and getting nothing out of a box sticks with you.

Yeah, that's 1750 free crystals you flushed down the toilet on a character you'll never be able to finish, instead of saving it for better uniforms or something in the future. Or instead of just quitting outright. It's exactly what you shouldn't be doing if you're trying to discourage the loot boxes.

Uh, everything in this every game is flushing money down the toilet.

The crystals are still a net gain, no matter how they are spent, since we didn't pay money to get them.

:shrug: Still wont buy anymore though or buy more monthly things. And they will consider it a loss if a majority of accounts are only buying one 10 set and nothing further.

I posted my food for USPOL Thanksgiving!


I'm sitting on the crystals because having north of 6K in the bank is good based on previous results. IE, magneto and the big bulk packages for Black Friday. Dollars to donuts we'll get another similar one for Christmas / Chinese new year. Probably not going to Stark again but I just did before Thanksgiving so now I have sunk cost fallacy going on.

This event quest wasn't up yesterday, right? IE, we should be at 140 tokens after doing everything today? Free T2 and a mega-6 ticket if my math is right.

Game is still fun. Loot boxes are horrendously bad always.

I’ll still play. Just won’t buy the poo poo loot boxes. Welcome to video games.

Out here, everything hurts


Well I saw that we got free crystals, said "eh, gently caress it" and bought the stupid box and got a 6* Anti-Man and a 4* Nova, and I ranked up Nova with spare tickets. I have a week left on my bio sub, and a Mega ticket leftover from...some event, so I was able to 6* Quasar.

I'm content with having everyone sit at 15 gears and T1. I was compelled to just GET them, I don't care if they just sit there. I got lucky and this worked out with no money spent, and I don't feel the need to touch these boxes again or actually pay for anything.

This is not defending the stupid boxes, I felt lovely even pressing the button to buy them with the charity crystals.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

It seems like Nova is a more or less lock from buying one of those boxes but I'm leaning on holding onto the crystals for uniforms or something and gambling that in a couple of months they'll reduce prices or change up the availability based on low sales.

I still don't think its a big deal.

140 today, 40 every day for the next 7 days. 420, one T2 ticket.

I bought a chest because we got the crystals (that honestly I feel like I don't eve remember claiming but I had a claim all I wasn't paying attention to today) and got 6 start Anti man out of it. Was hoping to get 2 characters but atleast it was a 6er.

This event quest finally motivated me to buckle down and finish 12-7 and 12-8 instead of just waiting for Jean to sleepwalk through everything.

Turns out a manually played Dr. Strange is basically unbeatable. Who knew. (13-8 sucks though)

13-8 was actually pretty easy for me. I just ran Phoenix through with She Hulk leadership and got it in one go. It was the Ebony Maw stage that took a few tries and wrecked Phoenix. Had to use Loki and realized his new costume puts him back in my top tier of players.

That's my first CTP and I'm not sure what to do with it. Gonna sit on it for awhile and think it over.

I decided to grab the free hero box and I regret it. Got Blue Marvel when I already had him. Guess I can use it to get him to 4/20 but still, sucks. Ah well. It was essentially free.

That worked, thanks again. I then beat Odin with my Strange/Wolvie/Sharog dream team. Wolverine and Strange did all the work, Sharon just took too much damage.

Basically same here, but I used my megaT2 I had around on BM and he’s actual pretty awesome. Only real weakness is that if Strange or Phoenix catches him in a time freeze, it’ll wreck him.
