I have to assume D3 has thought of this or the mechanic is limited in some way but I'll spell it out in full just in case this is an oversight. - Critical tiles matched with a enviro tile typically nets you about 45ish AP. - This translates to 2 or more castings of most powers - If team-up tiles work the same way then expect the following.... 1) Establish enough teamup to use bullseye black 2) Use the power to create 2 crit tiles and match team up for multiple re-castings of that skill 3) Continually cast the skill in this manor creating a near infinite lockdown of crazy damage much like Mags blue but even more reliable. 4) Everyone complains on the forums because this was a gross oversight and it ruins the game So yeah...don't let this happen. Assuming it's even possible to begin with. What if each ability costs 4-5 times as many team-up tiles as it would normally. This would balance each power respectively based on the already established AP costs. The other thing to consider is how passive abilities would work if at all.

Anyways... Interesting and creative new changes! Finally creating a character the playerbase has been asking for instead of random c-listers and pointless clones! Fun video with Jimmy's First Voice Acting Gig! All very positive things, although frankly I'd trade all of it for some comments about the deliberate process of making this game as unappealing to veterans as possible

So no Utopia, Dark X-Men, Siege and Cabal conclusion storyline? Sad. And what will happen with all previous episodes? You finally add them to Prologue? At the pace they were going, it would have been a LONG time before we even reached that point. We barely touched on any of the broader scope of Dark Reign with the mediocre storytelling and replays of previous events. We are still missing two characters who form the Cabal to begin with. God forbid we actually reached a story in where the Cabal start self-destructing and plotting against each other.

There's the real problem; it's not the story universe/arc/whatever that's been limiting, it's the pace of new story release that has choked things. Opening up "new branches of the Marvel Universe" is meaningless if we continue to only get 1 episode of new content per month (or even less frequently).

I assume what's shown is that each team costs 5AP, but it's not particularly clear....it could be like boosts in that you have a limited amount of them and there were 5 left. *shrug* (Also...not sure how I feel about the ALL CAPS threads...)
