6600 crystals for the Sue package as she takes the Magneto/Psylocke spot. Surprised no T3 for Doom.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I've had Crystal T2ed for awhile and She Hulk is all ready to go and I could T2 her without a ticket when the game comes back online.

Its just a question of if there's a Magneto/Psylocke that costs crystals. Because I still don't have Psylocke but she probably gets pushed back for Doom.

edit: There you go. Yeah, I'm grabbing Sue before Psylocke.

I've been working on Crystal and She-Hulk recently anyhow. I've got She-Hulk almost 4/20, and still a bit of a ways to go with Crystal on the gear, but both are 6*masters. I just hope their costumes make them top tier.

I've been resisting using crystals and I'm glad I succeeded. Shouldn't be long until I have enough to unlock Sue.

Now I"m debating how best to use my 6* Selector and the rest of my bio selectors I've saved up. The temptation is to power up Aunt Petunia's Favorite Nephew ASAP but he and the Torch are farmable.

Sue is awesome and at least comic book wise potentially super powerful.

I'm a little disappointed she doesn't have a huge team protective skill which would seem to fit with her forcefield powers, but I'm not really sure how to read that passive Invisibility Shift. It reads to me like when you get hit once you don't take damage for 1 sec after. I can't tell if that's huge or nothing. Probably just gotta wait and see in action.

Holy Crap, Reed's leadership gives a 65% all damage bump to FF "allies". I wonder who that includes.

Meanwhile the Torch's leadership is a measly 12% fire damage bump. Maybe that's just Level 1?

Would be cool if that's what I got. I hit level 35 for achievements and most of my chests had 10-20k gold, around 20 clear tickets, or a 3* card.

It’s always been like that. (I think Sister Grimm is the same but for Blasters and Singularity is the same for Universals) It was because they were originally designed only to be gotten through Battleworld or some poo poo.

They made it a tiny bit better as you can spend Honour Tokens/Villian Siege tokens to buy other Bio’s for She-Hulk and some of the Battle World characters. But it’s still a huge pain to T2 her.

The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

A She-hulk mission may open up with the epic quest too, like the Crystal one.

I saved all my actions yesterday to see if the FF update needed them. It did so that worked out, but I forgot reset was moved back an hour during the November time change (I think). I usually don't mess with my phone around that time thanks to work but today I plugged in the charger and set it to run the coop missions which were the last things I needed to do. Of course it disconnected me after the first fight and just sat there for 2 hours doing nothing. Hit the button and started it again but it was just after reset so I missed a day of coop rewards. Blah.

There are She-hulk and Crystal missions in the epic quest if you need more sources for bios. For me they're just fodder, but I'm not complaining. So many characters to get to 70.

Well that's good to know. Otherwise it would take me a week of PvP just to get She Hulk bios.

I'm also digging the story in this epic quest. It's pretty cool.

Total kick in the balls to have this 4 entry requirement in the epic quest for the Crystal meeting. I hosed up the first time last night with not having Reed on my team, so this morning I had to start off 0/4 with only 3 entries, so blocked basically for a solid day.

I want to tap my buttons damnit!

The Dr. Strange one was random. Like they had an idea for a story but forgot.
Like it starts with Kaelicus going "I have drained all your power Dr. Strange. Now you have to work your way back to being the Sorceror Supreme."
But then it was him meeting all these other characters for the first time. So maybe his memories got wiped too.
Also Clea appears, gets sucked into the Dark Dimension. And Strange waits until the end of the quest to do something about it.

The X-men one was just "Maximus has mind controlled this X-person. Go beat them up.
(Afterwards)
They are dying because Maximus is no longer controlling them.
Spend the next three months grinding this resource to heal them.
Then do it all over again."

They were seriously minimum effort stories.

I probably got bored with the story from those two and ended up skipping them then.

I'm really glad I have so much energy stocked up because these story mission research missions are pretty tedious. At least this will be the first time I won't be locked behind needing BAM for epic quests since I'm sitting on 11k.

Yeah, this is where I'm stuck. The previous requirement was only 2, but I was trying to get the Event Shop achievement of clearing it 3 times... if I'd saved one, I could have cleared it tomorrow, but nope. No progress for a day and a half.

Also disappointed that none of Sue's powers seem to involve her being Invisible.

On the upside, She-Hulk F4 costume has a power where she does mid-air flips while hitting you with a taxi cab.

man the epic quest where you have to find fantasticar parts is miserable

The Question IRL
Jun 8, 2013

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

So I got to the "clear Crystals mission 4 times part." On Wednesday.
And I had already cleared it. So I had to wait for Thursday to reset it so I could advance the epic quest.
I click the auto clear the quest.
Then realize I hadn't done it with Mr. Fantastic.
So now I need to wait until Saturday (at the earliest) to be able to advance this epic quest. Grrr.

One good thing. From buying the Sue pack, running her super secret mission gives 6 star Iso 8 boosters. Which means I have a steady supply of them to Fully Awaken my Iso's sets on all my dudes. Which is great.

Also if you want Doom easy and have a bunch of crystals, don't six star Victorious. Get her to 1 star.
You eventually get a quest to three star her. But if she's 1 star, you are allowed buy a bunch of her bios for 600 crystals. (You don't get this offer if she's already six stars.)
Then there is a later quest to five star her. And if she isn't, you can buy more of her bios for 1200 crystals.
It works out at like 300 of her bios for 1800 crystals. Which would take about 15-16 days to earn with the bio sub.
That is going to make getting her to T2 a whole lot easier.

I just hit this roadblock today. I ran the Thing bios mission 60 times and got 10 fantasticar parts out of the required 40. I got zero from the Crystal and She-Hulk missions. The drop rate is so much worse for this "search" mission compared to all of the others.

(You can run the Thing mission ((Like Brothers --> Clobberin' Time) )as many times as you want - you just get his bios for the first 10 completions. RIP your energy and clear tickets)

Yeah I spent something like 600-800 energy doing this part. Now I'm at a part where you have to get 50 fantasticar parts by running dimension rifts. I hope to Christ the lowest level has the same drop rate because my energy reserve is almost gone.

Apr 23, 2006

Yeah I would get anywhere between 0-3 fantasticar parts per 10 clears, it was pretty annoying. I used up a bunch of the energy I was saving up from the Special Mission quest packs.

And a reminder to anyone trying to get Victorious bios from Latverian Champion - you can exit out of the game when Johnny doesn't show up as a shifter if you want to make sure you get 3 each day. That helped me out when I was farming colossus up at least.

I'll probably use one of my Mega tickets on Victorious. Or I guess I'll wait and get those crystal packs of bios and then do it and save them for gear? Or I dunno. We'll see.

I've been stuck on the Epic Quest for days. Right now i'm stuck on the 4 Crystal stages. I did get Ben and Johnny nearly to 6* on bio selectors but I'm stuck until next week's Shadowland. I just have to keep reminding myself that Epic Questions are Epic for a reason and they take time. I think the Heroic Quests gave me a false sense of progress where I expect to be able to burn 10 stages at once.
