  • I just simply want to review the rewards before deciding when to jump in. Why is everyone acting like I'm asking an evil thing?

    Would be nice to know what the subs are rewarding before I enter. If someone knows, great. If no one knows, nevermind, I'll wait.
  • Does anyone else find it hilariously ironic that you can use a buffed 3* Human Torch to win a 2* Human Torch? icon_e_confused.gif This is probably the biggest slap in the face.

    Doesn't everyone really just want to reclaim their youth? This is a dream!

    Hey gents and gals,

    Can you share some advice on how I should approach getting that 150k Laken? It would be my first cover and they seem pretty rare. Is it one of those 'grind every node every 2.5-3hrs type of approaches? I'm assuming waiting in RB may risk me not having enough in the end.

    Thanks! icon_razz.gif
  • I shall name this two star Johnny "Human Fleshlight" because :
    1) He is not as good as the real thing, hence fleshlight,
    2) A torch is called a flashlight in some places and,
    3) He's causing some friction among players...

    He will join the gutternamed Crotchdevil (no explanation needed) and Classic Spermstorm (that does NOT look like rain hitting her)

    Thank you.

    Start early. Hit nodes once every 2:24 hrs.
    Pray that people care enough about Sparky to grind.

    1) 2* Captain America is a neutered kitten next to 3* Cap.

    2) Captain America is played in the movies by Chris Evans.

    3) Chris Evans also played Human Torch in the early 2000's Fantastic Four movies.

    Therefore, if Mini Matchstick Man sucks, then it will be Chris Evans' fault.

    Hmm for a first post intruiging.

    Doubtful that the topic creator will post any information on the Sub rewards. Does anyone here have details?

    Once you join and let us know what they are, I would be more than happy to go update the first post. icon_e_smile.gif

    This seems to contradict the PvE guide. Are you saying there is no rubberbanding?
  • Did you hear that? That was the sound of thousands of iPhones being smashed. Thanks Human Turd!
  • how sad, the first 3* cover i ever buy is green sentry to get him to 4/5/4 yesterday....

    also, why dont they give out like 2x of each cover for rewards, its a 2star hero... and the iso is half of a 3* cover

    as for a nick name...for teh reverse of a lazy character...

    Johnny Shortbus??

    Simulator had banding or should. But you asked how to "guarantee" get the daken. You get the daken by creating a gap in points, aka playing a **** ton. As a max grinder you will always have max points and not have to rely on others grinding do you can get points. Therefore if other people do what you do the points will inflate and daken will be achieved.

    I'm guessing not possible but I always assume it's not until it's apparent we can get there. At any rate it's not worth me grinding for it, don't even need the cover.

    If people don't care enough about the rewards, there won't be any RB.
    And I really don't think people will care about this one.
    So if you're really serious about trying to reach 150k you need to assume that you'll have to do it by yourself.

    Edit:
    And what Chimaera said with more words.
  • Zip zap zoop, all the way to the daken cover.

    Contemplating only playing for the ISO and one cover, even the event tokens are beyond bad. Like worse than nerfed LR bad. How is that even justifiable.

    You all can debate names for this version of Torch or lazy characters. I vote for "brass" as the reverse of gold specifically for a downgraded character like this one.

    I am trying to remember if people made it to 150K last time. The simulator was the first event with 2h 24M refreshes. I know I did not because i did not need the rewards. I am really not sure its worth the effort this time around. I would like the last purple Laken but 2* HT does not do it for me.

    24 Hours is normally enough time to pull the rubber band in so I not be joining for 36 hours or so. This will tell me if 150K possible else I will just flop out to top 50 again - top 5 really not worth the time if your alliance is top 100.

    What about Iron "Pyrite" Torch?
  • There are a large group of players pre three star transition who are excited to have a new player to earn and use. To all of those annoyed at the devs for now giving you more new three stars, earn a little ISO, watch some fireworks and relax.

    Special or Brass HT is definitely the best so far.

    I'm hoping this character is featured in PvP soon hyper buffed. And it starts a trend of two star characters being featured. As it is, once you hit the three star world all of your two stars are useless. Players should be encouraged to play with every character and this seems like a good chance to make that happen. Maybe a 2/3 buff instead of 1/2. Level 156 ares would be a ****.
  • I'd say 100% chance he'll be needed for essentials in the next couple PVEs. Other than that, I don't think I"ll be putting much ISO into him, since my 3* is already 20 levels above this one's top level and can go another 13.
