There was, but he gets recruited fairly late, I only got him to level 3

He was also super expensive. I got him to level 4, but getting him to 5 would have taken the resources I needed for 3 other characters to get leveled.

I got him to 3, the only person i bothered to get to 5 was Spidy because he looks like a dofus in his mid level outfit.

Ugh if this was around one more day I could get Venom. The problem wasn't beating Carnage, it was getting the thingies to fight the symbiots to make the flame throwers.

Yeah without the generator I can't imagine how much bullshit that would have been.

Early on I was always short even with the 24 a day it gives.

I'm not going to be able to level Venom, Mysterio, or Electro past 3. I hope they don't make it like the Guardians, because I still haven't gotten enough emblems to even level up one of Rocket, Groot, or Drax yet.

Aphrodite

I got everyone to 5 but won't have enough time to actually finish Venom's story, since it's an 8 hour and there's less than that left.

The worst part is that this one is apparently where he says who's the 6th member of the Sinister Six.

There's only one thing in the mountains that leaves a track like this. The creature of legend that roams the Timberline. My people named him Sasquatch. You call him... Bigfoot.
Trendy teen/twenty-something vulture as a future recruit would certainly be a thing.

I got 2099 to 5 at least, the rest I'll just wait for emblems on.

Speaking of, they quietly added Civil War ones a couple days ago. They don't work for Bucky but seem to work for the others

They also reference Kingpin in the end text so we'll probably see some kind of Defenders thing eventually

Bucky was an early access character, so you'll be able to level him normally when he gets added to the story.

Probably sometime in 2018 at the rate they add new story content, of course.

The Spider-verse characters can be leveled up with just plain cash....in ridiculous amounts. Miles level 5 is going to cost something like 100,000.

So since we have a break between events currently, I'm a little stuck on advancing the story and am not sure how to proceed. I recruited Cap and finished the quests related to that, but all I have available that isn't related to upgrading an event or premium character is the business suit Tony quests.

Have you upgraded all the story characters?

Aphrodite
Jun 27, 2006

Haha, saved by an app crash.

The new update is out, and the first Tigra mission requires Wasp's Post Everywhere 2 hour at the computer in the archives. But with the update also comes an upgrade to the archive that takes 31 hours. I started it without thinking, but the game crashed a few seconds later and reverted it for me.

Word is that you actually need to rank Wasp up before inviting Tigra (her rank 5 action is needed for the quest), meaning that it's not really a big deal to start the archives unless you were going to get 75 party hats in significantly less than 31 hours.

You do, but there's also a bunch of quests in the chain before you reach that point.

Is it me or did missions suddenly start giving a -lot- more cash? Like, instead of 100-700 I'm seeing 1K baseline except for stuff that also drops items.

I hope this isn't a short event then because I'm level 25 and you need to be 30 to get her to Rank 5

There's a MODOK/AIM event coming soonish. Supposed to be smaller and simple, like the British Invasion.

I hope MODOK starts out as a normal-looking twenty-something but his head gets bigger and his body smaller as he levels up.

Just need to add Carol and Wanda and I can have my Marvel Video Game Approved Waifu Squad.

New event started. Widow's evening dress costume that's been in the store forever is available now, as part of a crate that has past event costumes in it. It also has a bunch of headstart recruitment items for the future Daredevil event to unlock characters. These items confirm Hellcat as recruitable along with the Netflix heroes.

Hopefully she'll be current comics Hellcat rather than the more serious Tish Walker of Daredevil. Which is almost for certain considering this game.

How many acorns does the tower produce daily? 4 days and only being able to make a handful of Shield Agents as they need 8 loving watches to make is just silly.

Looks like it drops 15 acorns a day. And great job tinyco, I can't fight the Aim dudes without getting an error.

Around 4-8 hours for 8 watches to make a level 1 guy, which gets you about 2 acorns a Lv2 watch. 2 Lv 2 watches to get a Lv 2 guy and get a few more acorns, but you somehow have to save up 40 of them to get Lv 3 guys, and the whole event lasts 5 days.

I kind of suspect they don't want people to succeed without spending a bunch of money

Aphrodite
Jun 27, 2006

It's a 2 phase event and Squirrel Girl is available the whole time. The current timer is just until MODOK combat is available.

The way they do these events now is you have your freebies, your premiums, and your effectively premiums which don't directly cost shards but require more resources than totally free players can generate, and/or a premium character's bonus abilities.

I expect Coulson to be premium, and MODOK effectively.

Only Captain Marvel and Scarlet Witch I'd want to be 100% sure that I got in game, besides Squirrel Girl. Well until Marvel lets mutants back in their games again. I'm already at 58 acorns.

It's weird, there's not listing for SG's voice, but Tigra is played by Bella Thorne. The voice cast for this is so weird, but I still love Alison Brie as Widow and Sally Draper as Spider-Woman.

Aphrodite

Tigra was announced pre-launch, when they were still going for recognizable VAs.

The more recent ones they don't even announce the voice actor because it's usually someone cheap nobody has heard of.

That's right, they have voice cast for listed for people who aren't even available as early access like Hawkeye.

only 8 acorns away from Squirrel Girl.
