Why is it more of a chore? I know my exact route. The guess work is taken out of it. I do less than in a hodge podge guild. The only person who does slightly more work is the guild leader, which isn't me.

As someone who was in a high up alliance (we were 6th at one point)...

Nah. At that point you don't need to do any of that because everyone is strong enough to just get it done no matter what. No high up alliance would need to do that.

It is somewhat important if you've got a mix of people. You'd want the weaker guys to hit the weaker nodes then have your heavy hitters come in. It definitely makes sense to organize it but gently caress it's a lot of effort. I just make sure I'm active cause I want them sweet, sweet higher rewards.

I'm not on the same team, but in Catman's Shameful Secret we ran into a raid node node that somehow got cut off from access to anyone that prevented a 100%. It was frustrating as hell.

It was only the once so far. I think a few of us are in very different timezones or daily schedules than the rest of us, so they're always asleep when we need them or being clutch at 3am my time. I really don't think any sort of organization is going to happen unless more people start joining the discord, though.

The Question IRL

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

So I was playing in my guilds raid on my phone while walking my dog.

I get an easy node to do and send in my C team who are wrecking face. It comes to the last guy and...the game glitches.

All enemies gone, my team wait there. I can't do anything. The quit button does nothing.

I have to close the app. When I log back in all my guys are dead, the node is untouched. And I am scored at 0 points.

That was pretty drat frustrating

So I just started playing this 2 days ago, and have hit level 30. Planning on playing this poo poo out of this every day, but not whaling (I bought the Daredevil package, nothing else yet).

Is there a guild open that is a bit stricter than casual, but is willing to take a lvl 30 player who's just now getting the correct strategy going?

There's a Daredevil package? Man, that must be the worst of the possible newbie offers then.

Yeah you get daredevil from linking to Facebook, not buying him. If you had bought him, that would have been sad cause the newbie packages are Cap(great), black widow(fuckin top tier hard to get and amazing), Thor(decent, handy for the blaster challenge and cosmic) and black panther(Basically impossible to get and I think he's good I think. Haven't seen him much).

Daredevil is really good early game but he will eventually fall into your b team most likely. The rest of them are a team material except maybe Thor and black panther. Thor because he's slow and black panther I have no idea. All I know is his ult gets stronger from him taking damage which seems like a risky mechanic.

There was no cooldown for leaving or joining clans, so you could hop from clan to clan and get raid rewards to rack up Thanos shards and skill materials.

If they didn't actual fix the underlying problem in any way and just think they are going to police 500k or more accounts, lol. Sure I can see the egregious instances being punished, but I bet you could get away with doing this one a day or every other day and going unnoticed, and still come out with a sizeable advantage.

I also got 10 robocop shards today, which was nice...

I mean, if you're willing to drop 50 bucks, 350 is like, barely that much more. You should do it.

Edit, someone would a big enough wallet could theoretically get ultimus, right? Just keep buying it cause you get what, 12 ultimus shards for every shard of a dude at 7 stars?

Yep, My bad, I meant that I'd bought Cap. Still running Daredevil for now until I can get Gamora. Sad that I missed the black widow offer.

MAA was actually very player friendly at the start. You had to use Command Points to purchase heroes and those would drop very consistently in boss fights, especially if you used multihit attacks. Eventually they patched it so CP wouldn't drop from enemies anymore but they added a roulette wheel which would occasionally reward random CP amounts after every fight.

This game is nearly identical to Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes and every game mode is ripped straight out of that game.

I know all these gacha games are the same, but literally everything about this game is nearly identical to GOH except the combat animations.

-Blitz used to be in GOH, it was called tournaments and they stopped them because they loving sucked.
-Arena is the same thing except attacking doesn't lock you in this game.
-Starring up is the same, the gear screens and + poo poo is identical
-special events
-raiding is like GOH galactic war but it's multiplayer and you can pick tracks.

It's kind of gross, honestly, it's the same game with a different IP and they lengthened the time to max a character.

I am getting my Team B and partial Team C up. Man healers are definitely the way to go for raids. A well placed heal and a slow/stun can keep you going onto the next stage most of the time.

Off topic a bit but it's Free Comic Book Day tomorrow May 5th so stand in those giant lines to get some comics. You can do your raid while standing in line!

:shepface:God I fucking love Diablo 3 gold, it even paid for this shitty title:shepface:

Quake, Yondu, NN are basically required if you want to be able to do raids efficiently. I also use Cap and Gamora but those are a bit more flexible. Quake lets you get a lot more turns compared to the enemies and saving her ult for the right time makes difficult waves much easier, NN heals for the most by far, and Yondu's summons help a lot plus his buff stealing/dispelling and aoe are also really really good.

Everyone should be building Quake and Yondu anyway because of how good they are in every part of the game. My NN is only 3* with skills at 4/4/4/2 and she does fine even in the later nodes of the 50 ultimus raid, she is gear 8 with the health item too though to make her tankier (and her heals scale based on her HP).
