The irony is that often the hardcore players are the most negative of them all.

Irony? Seems to make total sense that those who are the most passionate about the game would be the most upset when things are done to ruin it...

but i've chosen to (again) adapt with it, shrug it off, and continue to play, pushing along side with our team in A-Force.

And by the way, MPQ has been doing better than ever in terms of revenue. I saw MPQ in top 50 grossing just yesterday, and its daily revenue has jumped to 25k from 15k (according to thinkgaming.com).

So, just enjoy the ride, give positive feedback, and keep playing

ignoring the problems won't make them go away. if you're unhappy with the direction the game is going, why ignore it and focus only on the positives that remain when instead you could speak up and be the voice of change?

or see the enemy TUs that were in play

How do we do that?

As far as I know it's only possible on PC. You can see the entire enemy team's available powers at once, and that view includes team-ups.

If there's a way to view them on mobile too, I'd be glad to hear about it.

What you have to do is click on the lead AI char to bring up the mini description / whatever. Then use the upper arrow that points to the right (beside the picture). That lets you scroll through the 3 enemy characters and /then/ you get to the Team-up(s) beyond.

It's a frikkin pain in the **** to do (like most things with Team-up management), especially if you have fat finger syndrome and miss the arrow, exit the window and have to start all over again.

BTW, has anyone else with FFS tried to hit the delete button... ARGH!!!!!!

CrookedKnight

Yeah, I complained about that in the "Team-Up Changes" thread but I'll gladly do so again here. Long-press to delete, please!

Also is gonna be good to make Hood to steal teamups and OBW..this with sharing i dont like it at all

Unknown

The idea of sharing characters is a nice one to build alliance 'togetherness' but requiring HPs to recall is a bit of kick to the balls imo.

Well, team ups aren't going away so the question is how can we make them better?

I thought in order to still give an enviornmental feel, you could only use a certain color of TU ability on that board. For example on the Forest, you can only use Green Team Up abilties, on Snow board, only blue etc and only those could be used against you. In turn it would make some enviornments more dangerous, like Forest or say red for desert. Because those tend to be the more damaging skills, however if you went to a blue or purple, you know it's going to be more controlling etc.

Anyone want to guess how much time it will take for you to use your character again or how much hp cost it will take to get it back immediately. My guess is 2 hours and 75 hp

If only.

It's far, far longer and far more costly than I can possibly see being justifiable. I won't send team-ups to my alliance members again unless the patrol time is significantly shorter. I'm not sure why this seemed anywhere near reasonable when they were putting it together. The general idea is okay, but the cons far outweigh the benefits in my mind.

This is an issue where I think less is more. Just make it that you get 3 random team ups based on your roster if you had nothing loaded, or you can load them as you want to be more specific. That way you wouldn't have to waste time if you didn't care about them but if you happen to see the TU tab light up and something good happens to be there, you can still use it.

I sent my guys on patrol to my alliance. The extra team-ups (if there's any) were gone before my teammates figure out what to do. In fact, we still haven't figure out how to get these extra TU tiles. Are there instructions on this patrol thing? Meanwhile, I am short 3 guys for the day.

Even if it works, it's too costly to do. I can't think of a good reason to try again.

They only get sent to the one that made the request, and have a banner on them indicating who they are from.

Just being able to delete the teamups makes this update worthwhile

The major problem with the "On Patrol" system is that the negative effect of sending your characters on patrol far outweighs the positive effect that your alliance member receives. They get a single random one-use Team Up from that character, and that's it. So I might decide to send along my Magneto; a Magnetic Translocation TU would really help my friend out. Too bad, he got Magnetized Projectile instead! And now I have to wait for Magneto to return so we can try our luck again.

TU's still suck. Sorry but I have nothing else to add.

dragma - I'm sorry you feel like my comment didn't add to the conversation. Would you like me to reiterate what's been said 100,000,000 times already about TU's. I gave my opinion and then went as far as saying I have nothing else to add. I hope you feel good about giving me a thumbs down Mr. Internet conversation police man. Get a life.

I really hope that sometime during conversation with someone in RL that a random person walks up to you and sticks a big thumbs down in your face! However we all know that won’t happen because people don't act like that in RL. So what chip on your shoulder has you believing that it's ok to do that on the net?

My comment was short, precise and to the point. Sorry I didn't blabber on further like this post I am making now.

TU's still suck. That's my opinion. If I sent this directly to D3 customer support they certainly wouldn't give me some silly **** reply or an image of a thumbs down. Who do you feel you are representing?

Is this better now that I wasted your time reading all this? In theory I deserve a thumbs up from you now right?

And I am sory you feel you need to make a specticle of your self in retaliating to my thumb down. Honestly your post was just a "Me too!", I downvoted because it did not contribute anything to the conversation. I kept my comments in the voting reason as to not make it overt to everyone and their mother.

But yes, you post now does add in more to the conversation then just a "TU's Suck". It never hurts to state why you have an opinion. Conversations are built on each other and one like that is just hitting a brick wall.

Nastiness aside, do you vote down every post that you feel doesn't add to the conversation?

Honestly, no. I am sorry, but yours just irked me for some reason. I'll go ahead and remove the down vote. But really how much longer does it take to at least write out a reason for a "Me too!" type of post.

It does not need to be long to get your point across.

Sorry to cause you the distress I did.

I like the new features but i get the idea that the enemy team still uses more than three team ups

CStorm had an update to her Lightning Strike animation it seems.

That's pretty important, yeah?
