Opopanax posted:They all came out at once so they probably hired some random company in China to churn them out It's gotta be this. Though you'd think if they were batching em out there'd be some consistent standards, but there aren't. From shading to outlines to how to treat faces it's mostly muddy. Outlines: are they just for the edges of the character, or should they be there for edges of clothing? Eyes: what the everliving gently caress. The last two pixel variants I got (from a season pass reward and collector's reserve) were Shocker and Cyclops. Shocker is awful. The dithering looks muddy and doesn't give the impression of quilt patches at all, the shading is barely passable, the outlines are only on the outside of the character and not at clothing boundaries which would go a long way. And his eyes, the eyes are so bad on so many of these - weird angles or muddy drawing obscuring what is a very important element. Plus the pose is just boring. Cyclops I'd say is one of the better ones, his optic blast looks pretty dynamic and other than his torso the shading is handled well. The outlines are consistently at the edges of his gear, even when it's the top of the boot giving way to his pants. Anyway yeah. There's no reason they should be so awful but they just are.

They'll find named, famous pixel artists and they'll be a distinct, named variant ("Markus Toivonen Variant"), and they'll sell them to you for 1500 gold.

The inbox and news section doesn't work on PC and they don't seem be in a rush to fix that. I believe an improved PC version is still going to take a while. If you really like playing on PC it is probably better to play it via an Android emulator instead of the Steam release. That 100 gold was reward #1 from their current "Hero" event. It's a community thing so it's a good habit to check in once at the end of the day on mobile, so you can contribute your "records" to the pile.

I'm trying to build a deck around Zero, but I'm having a hard time getting the proper draws for it. The current deck I'm running is very WIP, I'm not even gonna share it here because it doesn't really work. I want Zero and Ebony Maw to synergyze, and then get Armor to protect them from Killmonger. Is there anything I can do to encourage the draws I want in the first three turns?

No Wave posted:There isn't. Zero is the kind of card that's strong with a lot of cards - red skull, typhoid mary, attuma, ebony maw. So you run a bunch of them and try to find alternative ways of enabling each one beyond just Zero. You can run venom+zero to disable the mary/skull debuffs, taskmaster to increase value from red skull, cloak to give a way to deal with ebony maw's downside. But you'll never be able to have high odds of Zero+Maw on turn 2. I think I have a lot of collecting to do to get to a proper Zero deck then. Thanks!

This is how they are supposed to work. It’s just that’s a particularly good location for both cards. They only care about how much unspent energy you have at the end of your turn.

But you'll never be able to have high odds of Zero+Maw on turn 2. Ebony Maw can also be played on Invisible Woman if you get them on time. And yeah, it's hard enough getting 3 combo cards to line up during the entire game, never mind getting them right at the start.

I don't know that an entire deck focused around Zero works, you kinda have to slot him and a couple other cards into another deck archetype. If you're removing the abilities from them, you might as well try a Patriot deck. I run Zero, Lizard, and Typhoid Mary in mine

It’s just that’s a particularly good location for both cards. They only care about how much unspent energy you have at the end of your turn. So let's say you're using Sunspot, Scarlet Witch, and She Hulk. You play Sunspot on 1. You play Scarlet Witch on 2, get the Pegasus Project. The energy circle at the bottom reads 5. Sunspot gains 5 damage. You now have 8 energy to play on turn 3 (Pegasus + Turn 3). If you do nothing, Sunspot gains +8. She Hulk also only costs 1. Why is that Energy, only usable for a current turn, usable for an end of turn effect... twice?

I don't remember getting any energy on the next turn when Scarlet Witching into Pegasus Projects. The location flips and gives you energy this turn, which only benefits Sunspot and She-Hulk.

goferchan posted:Anyone doing anything with Absorbing Man? Just opened him which is cool because he was definitely on my "cards I want to play with but not badly enough to spend tokens on" list, like something you'd love to get as a Christmas gift but would never buy for yourself Absorbing man can be pretty good in a lot of decks. I was running him in my surfer deck at the start of the season, playing Magik gives you a turn 7 double surfer. I got tired of that though because everyone started running surfer and then everyone else was running leech. Right now he's in my "gently caress this meta" control deck:  You can storm -> absorbing-> spider-man -> doom on t6 when they can't play anywhere Or if you get a power location like nexus you can spider man -> absorbing man -> chavez to lock it down With patriot decks being in fashion you are essentially running 2 enchantresses (which could be 2 shang chis if you are running into a lot of big bois) It's fun just shutting the board down and ruining everyone's combos. Just snap early if it looks good, you aren't getting a lot of 8 cubes wins when you are well ahead and they can't play any cards

Wouldn't the energy generated from PP not roll over into the next turn, if the current turn ends?

FWIW the Sera list I posted above was just stolen off the Japanese guy on snap zone, so I'm sure someone else has written a much more thorough explanation of it than I can give. He also replied to the tweet of the list with some substitutions if you're missing Mysterio.New Leaf posted:I'm missing a few of those.. I saw a build online and kind of merged it with yours and ended with: Yeah, basically. I was running more or less the same but Professor X, Vision or Leech over Abom. for a while and it was just fine through like r70 or so. Jessica Jones is also solid, she's not the worst flip and can also reasonably be played from hand on 4 as needed. Mierenneuker posted:The inbox and news section doesn't work on PC and they don't seem be in a rush to fix that. I believe an improved PC version is still going to take a while. If you really like playing on PC it is probably better to play it via an Android emulator instead of the Steam release. Yeah, none of the event stuff people talk about is really accessible or visible if you don't also use a mobile client. The main page is always just the featured location or the splash art, you won't see news/announcements, tips, or season stuff there, and the inbox/news just doesn't load. I did pin something on mobile and it seemed to stick just fine on both clients, I know someone mentioned that as being an issue before.

gently caress! gently caress this goddamn losing streak. I know half of these fucks are bots because there has been way too much perfect play with Cosmo and Armor and everything else that completely bodies a DeathWave deck. I went from being 2 cubes away from 60 down to goddamn 56. I need to take a break.

things i've just found out: if you click the four pane button in the bottom left here in the first image you can set what variant you want in a deck by default by clicking the header above the one you like better. great if you (like me) spend a lot of time editing variants when importing a new deck to try. it even prompts you to replace all the cards in your decks with the new variant when you change favorites
