Yeah I'm also going to sit on T1 Emma to save crystals for Infinity War. Really curious to know how well Adam Warlock sold.

It's daddy shithead, where's the bourbon?
I have to wait till Friday to get the X subscription. What does everyone think of Magic Lady and Colossus? Wondering which one to work on first since I am just gonna sit on Emma for the time being as well.

Magik seems better but there are mumblings about Colossus being a QS-killer. Generally it takes a week or so to hash it all out while people use everyone on all the WBU bosses and alliance battles.

I bought Adam but haven't even ranked him up at all yet, and am ranked around 27,000. So I guess that's a rough estimate

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I'm considering just waiting on hold for all the X-Men. See if I can get Colossus from the Faction Alliance. Emma's cheap enough that it won't be that hard to save for her down the line. Buying the X-Gene package would get me Magik (who is a favorite) and help me finish X-23 but I can keep farming her in the Lab and odds are they'll do this again so I'll wait until there's a bunch of people exclusive to the X-Gene package the same way I do with the 20-a-day Bio people.

I have 3000+ crystals saved up for Black Panther Extreme and I think I'm just going to follow through on that. I just T2ed Shuri and fed the 300 bio to Klaw so I could get everything but Killmonger finished in a couple of days. It feels more satisfying to me to "complete" that and get the Extreme prizes than spend money and a ton of resources to get half way done on the mutants.

I don't know. Its a couple of days before I'll have enough crystals so I'll see how the Emma reviews go.

Still don't care about Warlock. Playing him in Timeline he doesn't really seem worth the cost, and i have no attachment to the character.

I'm guessing those selectors are for the characters like Shuri, Medusa, Moon Knight, Sharon Rogers, etc. Which would be sad since I don't have any of those people left to get but they can always be stashed and used for the future ones.

The Question IRL

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

A word of warning about the BP pack. It gives you the costume and a Tier 2 token. (That's good.)
But all the other rewards are dependent on you beating the Extreme mode with certain criteria. And that's not garunteed.
Like I heard they made it easier. But it took me about 5 to 10 goes just to clear the Black Panther extreme mode. And I did not get all the rewards. And I haven't been able to do any of the other battles.

Where as the other things to buy will give you a garunteed reward. This is a bird in the hand versus two in the bush thing.

I致e got the Wolverine Marvel Now uniform and I知 15-0 so far against the AoA wolverine. I知 in the gold league, though.

He has 183,457 combat points and is equipped with the CTP of Transcendence. Uniform level is advanced. CTP is probably the secret sauce more than the uni though.

I'm avoiding the temptation of the costumes since Cyclops is more valuable as a villain and I don't really use Wolverine in Timeline since I got Apocalypse worked up. There will probably be some week where everyone is restricted and the new Wolvie wrecks me but there's too many drat things to spend crystals on, especially with Infinity War on the horizon.

I don't think I've come across the new wolverine uni yet in Vibranium, but then again I only pay attention to half of my matches. I'm glad it doesn't seem like it's completely necessary since I'm still winning most of my matches so I can keep saving up my crystals.

Faction Event has started - Inhumans vs. X-Men! Except that when you choose a side, it still asks you to pick between Pro-Reg and Anti-Reg so they forgot to change some code! Huzzah!

That said, free Colossus bios as faction prizes! I have a feeling those who choose Inhumans will not be so lucky.

I got forced to go Inhumans because too many people chose the Mutants, which is what happens basically every faction battle event.

I just tested this and it looks like it just rerolls the stat already on the ISO, so in the image it'd reroll the Critical Damage number. Another moneysink for min/maxers.

And completely ruins the whole point about choosing sides. gently caress the Inhumans and Marvel's attempt at trying to replace the X-Men with them. They deserve to get wrecked.

This is correct. For example, you can switch impregnables to all def from just physical def, or powerfuls to all attack from just physical attack. Chaotics randomly roll to new stats on both options. Keep in mind this only works with fully awakened ISOs and it costs 100k a pop.

I was wondering why I was getting Colossus bios every day.

STAC Goat

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

By my math if you're on the losing side of the Faction Battle you'll fall exactly 20 bios short of getting Colossus to 4* (where after I imagine like 75% of the player base has 5* tickets saved). That's gonna be a real tick in the teeth.

But wow do I have a lot of energy now. I'm just grinding Angel Dimension Shifts whenever (a) one's open and (b) I have boost pts. I might actually get him to 6* by the time this special challenge ends.

The Dave
Sep 9, 2003

I just used 4/5/6 star tickets on Colossus because I have a ton of them. Grinding the poo poo out of Angel rifts but also trying to get daily,special, and 10-15 story missions in a day too.

STAC Goat
Mar 12, 2008

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I do all the other daily stuff and that usually takes like 200 energy. Then I usually do enough Dimension Rifts it takes to fill 3 and get the extra energy. Then whatever I feel like. I'm just focusing all that Dimension/Whatever on Angel right now and using more energy than usual because I got all that extra Colossus Energy.

I unfortunately have no 4* or 6* tickets saved so I'm stuck if Collosus falls short. And even if I get him to 4-5 he'd probably be pretty low on my list of people I need to use them on. I got Killmonger sitting at 3* and I rather save them for Magik.

Its just gonna be a bummer if he's stuck at 3 because of the 20 bio difference in the coin toss of who "wins" and "loses" the faction thing.

I was genuinely upset that the game forced me onto the Inhuman side of this, especially since this was one of my least favorite storylines since civil war. But whatever, I'll happily clock points for free Colossus bios knowing full well this side is getting punched in the head as it should be.

You've done well, kiddo.
The weekly event 6 star selector is available today and it is pretty good. Seems like you can select anybody except the obvious people (native T2, bio-sub only etc). I picked up a 6* Kraven as I don't even have him unlocked yet.

The Dave
Sep 9, 2003

Not to be a dick but that was a pretty bad choice given how easy he is to farm. You want to use these sort of selectors on people that don't have farmable bios. Since you get the bios if they are already 6 starred I need to check if there is anyone I should select with a goal of T2ing.

The saddest part about all this is is that Kraven isn't even cool

In fact I think one could make a strong argument that in both the MCU and in the FF meta, Wong is substantially cooler than Kraven
