So since there seems to be some interest, which alliance should we make the high level super try hard alliance?

Probably need to specify whether it's beta or launch players too, even though they can be in the same alliance there is still typically quite a gap in team power between the two groups.

I'm a launch player, so I'll say it's going to include launch players not just beta.

This is mainly to make the most out of raids with people who are willing to follow specific stats to get the most out of the rewards.

In a perfect world, I'd like there to be tiers of alliances. Like, I want to be in a group which raids frequently and everyone pulls their weight - but I don't think my team is efficient enough for me to take a spot among the try-hards. My big failing with this game is that I get shinny new guys and then invest too much stuff into them so that I can try them out in a few blitzes :/

I wouldn't be too worried about that, there's plenty of low level nodes that always seem to get ignored. As long as those were getting done I don't care how much total damage you can do.

And even though raids do give more rewards to higher damage people, the differences generally are pretty small while the 30/60/100% tiers are big jumps which I think does a good job of incentivizing teamwork.

Yeah and I'd much rather raid with someone who communicates and plans rather than just jumping in and doing the opposite of what I was just asking them to do.
If one isn't made by then, I'll make a raid guild after I get my Thanos rewards tomorrow.

Please, if you want to take the lead it would be great. Also getting our own discord channel in one of the two discord would be a fantastic start. Better to get going on this now rather than waiting for alliance wars.

It's a good thing the cash shop in this game is absolute garbage or I might end up spending money on it. I missed the Cap for $10 deal and keep hoping I'll see something similar but I get nothing but terrible offers for exp chips and orbs.

Just wanna say that the campaign difficulty changes hosed and players who didn't go hard from beta and/or day 1
I finally got around going back to the villain campaign and even with Tier 7 lvl 45 Yondu, Crossbones + Elektra poo poo is bullshit rough
They need to have an elite mode and not lock people out of content so quick

I'm not even going to try to progress any of the campaigns for the next few days, hopefully they'll roll things back a bit. Luckily I've 3 starred enough character nodes and equipment components up to tier 7 to keep me busy for a while.

I don’t know if he is mathematically better than crossbones, but I’ve really enjoyed running with a tier 6/level 43 Hawkeye lately. He and quake can shut people down if they are working in concert and he is great at clearing buffs. I haven’t played around enough with his aoe is strong enough to warrant moving xbones from my front line team (does blind make it so people miss more often?), but I feel like he brings more to the table for a raid group since you aren’t just sitting around forever waiting for an aoe to power up.

From doing some reading Hawkeye is pretty drat good. I still don’t have the fucker unlocked though and I’ve been doing at least one node a drat day.

Yeah I don't have him built up yet (want to get Drax to 10k first so that's what I'm farming) but you might need 5 5* shield people for Iron Man so long term he'll be worth it. I wouldn't be surprised if they changed that but who knows.

He's got an anti-stealth passive which is kinda neat plus he's good at clearing minions which would be useful vs yondu I think.

I wonder what the meta will look like in 2 weeks or so when everyone has Thanos though.

Drax spawning with taunt and then getting taunt+def+counter (with lifedrain) on his first turn is very good. He’s probably the best pure tank along with Cap, although Thanos looks like he’ll be very good as well.

Blind makes their next attack miss 100%, yes. Buffs/debuffs in this game in general are stupidly good, that’s why Quake and BW are basically the two most powerful units in the game.

Drax is indeed cool + good

Idk about Rocket being so high though, I usually kill him last if the AOE doesn't take him out first

The only way to whale for him is raid energy and heals so you can 100% every time. Everything else is gated by the tickets and subsequently, orbs.
