With Spidey 100 / Rag 97 / (Maggie 102 | Widow 80-ish), I was as high as 5th with an hour to go. Then the crabs came. Oh, so many, many crabs. Ended up with 350-ish points and Top 75.

What's a good build for Black Widow Original? I just picked up a fourth purple cover, but still have 0 blue and and only one black, and so wanted to find out before I blow the fourth purple.

SynthOrange posted:So how did people find the three star tournament? It just made me realise how much I depend on Thor and Wolverine to quickly smash down opponents before they can do any damage. Thankfully with Spidey levelled up a fair bit now, I can afford slightly slower matches while healing up damage. Grey Widow and Dr Doom turned out to be my most reliable hitters, though it does leave the team a bit on the fragile side. Pretty similar experience to yours - I was running 81 IM40, 81 Spidey and 56 Grey Widow and while I never really had any problems with any of the fights, they just took forever. With boosts though you basically get Iron Man's recharge going early, at which point you can then pretty much stunlock the other team into oblivion, and any shots they do get off get soaked up by three protect tiles at 180 apiece. In one game it got so silly I even used missile barrage while watching stun timers. That said, as delfin mentioned, literally every second I went over 400, I got plinked for 35 points almost immediately. My slacker matchmaking held up in the NHB tourney, but it was definitely apparent in the 3-Star that I was back in the "everyone gets murdered" bracket.

Murgos posted:It's a great design for an event eh? Random chance dictates how you will finish. As long as you keep rolling badly and get *20* iso rewards you can keep earning points. Get a bad set of rolls and get all 4 rewards right in a row? Whoops! Enjoy that consolation prize. That's not how it works at all. There are a certain number of repeats (5 I think) per mission for the side events. It doesn't matter if you get all the rewards or not, it will drop after each mission until there are no more points. After some hours, the points will reset. The points you get are also dependent on your overall score on the main leader board. Say, at the beginning mission A will give 100, mission B gives 200. Do mission B, mission A's points will drop since your global score has gone up.

The mission points decrease each time you beat them and it appears to recharge ~12 hours after you do them. For reference: http://www.d3pforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1526 Mr. Met posted:What's a good build for Black Widow Original?

That gives you the really nice healing, the reasonably priced AP steal, and also the extra damage from the black ability (which double dips on things like Wolverine's strike tiles)

Is there a wiki or something I can read up on mission rewards? I want to check which ones contain HP that I may have missed because it takes like 20 seconds for the rewards to scroll on a mission. I'd rather have a list of missions and I can weed through them instead of one by one.

The bracket sizes were bigger plus the number of people who had competitive 3*s is a more hardcore/lucky group. Mine were in the level 30s and I just gave up because breaking 100 would be the signal for people to attack. I ended up with some standard tokens, oh well  On other news, the Hulk missions definitely got more fun now that we recruited the Big Green Man himself. We're back to the crazy 3-4 sub-events thing, which is more interesting than grinding out 1 or 2 mission sets. Plus Hulk trash talking everyone is endlessly amusing.

I'm not sure whats going on, but in Greenland a new event popped up for me advertising a level 85 Juggy and Rag for 536 points each. Well, when I attack them, they are level 1 Juggy and level 15 Rag. Score!

Well, I farmed the 1/15 one until it's only giving me 64 points a pop. Not a bad little points boost, think it netted me 5 levels of event rewards.

The bugged missions isn't the real story though. The real story is that rubberbanding is back and it's giving a boatload of points, meaning that progression rewards are less impossible and it's actually fun to compete in the leaderboards.

All-Avengers Tournament? This is going to be a bloodbath now that everyone and their grandma has max Thor and Wolverine. I wonder what the third big danger will be. I'm really hoping a level 100 Spider-Man will make people hesitate but it sure didn't in the 3 Star fight!

I was grumbling over 'why would you attack me' at people in the 3* tournament and then thought, yeah, I was taking on a guy with 140/140/140 and not blinking.

That is what I really didn't want to admit to myself. When you can pretty much lock down the other team with six blue at least long enough to kill one guy off, all bets are off. Or you have someone else's Rags star a massive churn that culminates in an IM 40 nuke to the face. Or the same thing but classic Magneto one-shotting someone. Everyone's a whale now!

Holiday sale on ISO is better than it has been, almost tempted to do the $65 (NZD, probably $50 US) for 50,111 ISO but I kinda wish it was hero coins.

Buying ISO is frankly, absurd. And until they make it actually remotely good value for money, hero coins are a no-go for me. Then again, perhaps they're keeping those crazy prices because people pay 'em.

Ok, who has a strategy for the Needy mission? By the time I got rid of the HAMMER goon, they finished my Spider-Man off and everyone else was clinging to life.

The subevents are pretty generous, as long as you get in the top 600 the prize is a powered token, which is a Wolvie, Cap, Spidey or Punisher. I like those odds. Top 1500 for the main event will keep me happy too. Top 300 would be nice but we will see how that goes.

I thought I was in a bracket with a lot of people who couldn't handle the level 100+ Dark Avengers and Hammer mercs, because I got to ~300 last night once those Greenland missions came out. Today I have grubbed my way back to 4500 by grinding those high-level missions a lot more than last night. Either a lot of people took the night off last night or there are a lot of people smashing through those level 15 Ragnaroks.
