You can't use TU with the same abilities of the ones you are currently playing, they are locked.

Just because YOU can't doesn't mean the AI can't. Team up is a bad implementation of a poorly developed idea. I can't say anything good about it other than the name sounded good and ecciting when it was announced. Everything about the way it actually works SUCKS.

Oh, that's even worse...

Plus you can't use any abilities of someone you are fighting against or from a different character version. Using Storm eliminates boosts from all 3 versions.

I think it's fun, the only problem is that I can't delete the ones I'm not gonna use.

I think it could be fun, the only problem is that out of about 20 tries, none could be used in a match, because I win much faster...

I have been trying though...

Been playing with it for a few days and I can tell this s the single worst update ever that breaks the core of this game. I got to give them ups for true healing because it really enhance the gameplay with roster depth. And it requires players to think what to do and how to enhance team synergies to fight better.

But this TU thing breaks all that and add too much randomnesses to the gameplay .
First I have no control on my TU for my team would use.
I have no understanding for what other team is using.
and those random bp black supernova wipe is no joke.

No delete for unwanted TU.
have to re-pick every TU every fight (Your game is too much like a chore already and now u add more chores to it. I end up not using any TU because it's annoying)

This really breaks the game for me . And I m seeing TU is here to stay . So **** your tinykitty I am out

I'm getting sick of opponents launching 2 or 3 TU's in a row against me. I have no clue how some matches they literally get 3 TU's in 4 moves. I think it's still glitched.

I hate it that AI can use TU even if they have that character in game even though we are not allowed to do that. In my last PvP game I got hit by TU Wind Storm followed by a real Wind Storm from Cstorm, not fun at all. I myself hate this thing and just don't use it since by hunting for TU tiles I actually hurt myself. I wish they would implement that thing that was mentioned on forums few times already, how many TU you bring into the fight AI can bring that many, so if you don't want to use TU then AI also can't use them.

I don't want to repeat many sentiments that have already been expressed but my take on the TU situation currently is that it currently can massively slow down people's PVE progression (especially in the Deadpool PVE as your team composition often had to have the Hood alive and functional in it and the other 2 members had to vary quite a bit) which may be giving quite a large advantage currently to people with MUCH bigger rosters. This is only part of my tale on the new TU idea. I have been playing MPQ for quite awhile now and I am trying to deal with all the recent changes and business decisions of D3 but Is it a good idea to for D3 to put so much pressure against newer people who will struggle because of these changes? I posted this same message on a different thread earlier but felt it was more appropriate in this thread so here it is again.

Why does the AI get cool Supernovas and not me ?

The most useful Team Up abilities are those that cost up to 9 AP and even 8-9 can be too much most of the time. Sentry, Ares green and Torch TU are among my favorite because they are cheap and very helpful. Anything that costs 10+ is almost unplayable for me. I have stopped caring for now because I always forget to select them before each match. If my selection remained, like boosts do, then I am certain I would use them more since I usually end most matches with 5-8 TU AP, mostly from 4- and 5-matches that clear a line. I have C.Mags to thank for that, so after the nerf hits him I doubt I will get enough AP to care about TUs.

This is so bad. Today i had the worst experience with Team Up's and AI using before they even had enough AP. Today during the Thor event I played a lvl 80+ Thor, 94 OBW, and 120+ Hulk(I had a level 90 3*thor, 94 2*wolverine and 131 spiderman ). I matched 3 greens and got a bit of a cascade to start, they matched 3 blue. Then I matched 3 green and OBW fired off aggressive recon(which said it required 9 purple when they had 0) and stole all my AP then matched 3 red. I then matched 4 red and got a big cascade that gave me a bunch of red and green AP. They then fired off a TU ability of aggressive recon for OBW and stole all my AP again, then fired off call of the storm and hulks red ability and killed my 94 wolverine. I then Matched 4 blues and they fired off OBW healing ability, OBW aggressive Recon, TU Sentry's countdown ability and call of the storm again. I was pretty much dead at this point.

Team ups are bad because the computer can basically pick OP team ups that can cripple you with ease(so many times during deadpool PVE I was about to win with almost no damage and then got drilled by sentry or black panther for 2k on each player). We are also stuck with really **** ones that cost too much to use because I defeat opponents too quick or they are locked out because the TU abilities are ones from my current roster.

They also, need to fix the bug where the AI can fire off powers before they have enough AP, it happens in almost every match I'm in. It probably happens to a lot of people without them ever noticing. Usually its just 1 or 2 AP short and firing but since the TU update I have had many instances where they just fired off TU's and abilities with having 0 AP in that color.

I think they rolled this out in the most half-baked, partially implemented, frankly lousy manner they could have. I would say my typical battle now includes at least one world rupture or supernova. Not literally every time, but more often than not. This isn't fun. And because my inventory is completely spammed up with useless team-ups, there's just no point in using them anymore, because I'll just get another useless team-up to spam up my inventory. This is "Introduce Daredevil in goon-only fights" level bad planning. It's a semi-implemented feature and I think it's been borderline disastrous.

Unknown

I'm not playing until an update fixes this ****. Every team has a sentry TU and they don't seem to need the required ap to use them. Random my ****.

Unknown

Im not sure this was covered but I think TU should be given out a lot less. To offense and defense. We are flooded with the things, so there is nothing special about them. If there was a 10% or even 25% drop rate, then getting an good TU would have been exciting.

Unknown

I like it. I love being able to run hulk out there but having a call the storm in my back pocket. I like using lethal recon without saddling myself with Yelena. I enjoy beating teams higher than me and then getting stronger versions of powers then I can muster. On top of that it DOES add randomness, now you're not trudging through dark avenger teams for the 9000th time, but worrying about them suddenly having world rupture or another strong power. suddenly rags can use anti-grav device and the game becomes more fun through being less predictable.

It was cool at first, but is now really annoying.

(Really, it feels like the Devs didn't even bother testing it before releasing it. After about 10 matches, i had many ideas that would have improved the Team-Up game play. That, or they put out a bad version of it so we all could make suggestions and the devs would "listen" to us and make "improvements". Their customer service has severely lacked in the past and this would be the easy way to make themselves look awesome. Why should they do any work when we do it for them for free, or in some of your cases, you pay to work for them?)

Unknown

I consistently feel like the AI now has an advantage over me. I liked it better when we both had access to the same powers (even if those powers were bad).

I also feel like just the idea of calling it a "Team Up" is kind of dumb. The entire game is already a "Team Up"...

Unknown

Now that someone figured out we stopped getting Boosts ever since Team Up started, I'm all the more against Team Up.

I can use Boosts and they are really useful, but Team Ups are not as useful.

Now that it's been out for awhile, I'd be curious to see a new poll out. All of those "haven't had time" folks should be able to decide.

We were just asking around in alliance, and everyone that was online at the time chimed in that we don't like it at all. Much more damage, making PVP more grindy (your team is gone now! Come back later), PVE difficult (you used your characters in PVP!), good play less effective, luck/cascades worse on you...very little good came out of this. Almost everything this did made it worse for the player.

See: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13561 (poll on what happens during matches

)
Or: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=13371 (Tweaks needed. How about not having to re-select every time? How about opponents not being able to use same ability as their characters?)

This didn't get the outcry of True Healing because the effect wasn't so immediate...or sadly, perhaps because the players just don't expect good things to come their way anymore.

Unknown

True Healing was a nerf, Team Up was supposed to be a buff to the game.

It was advertized as "something as awesome as the creation of the Alliances". The excitement never happened.
