    It will not.
  • The current scoring system for The Hulk is outrageous, 10+ people are maxed out on points with tied scores and nothing wrong with that, except the ties are clearly not honored. Even worse whoever maxes out their score last gets jumped to rank 1st, punishing those who tied with the exact same amount of points but got their first. If the system is not fixed it is again going to be the last minute holdouts that exploit the flaws in the scoring system who will win top ranks. Those who played honorably will be pushed out of the top 10 and worse.

    I'd be very surprised if all of the ties hold up at the end.
  • Relax. Let's first see how the missions reset before hating it.
  • This is the time where I spent my boosts icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Impossible usually means that youre gonna take a busload of damage, but if you play carefully, you can win.Goons are easy, you can literally take 0 damage.But goons+villain is a little tricky to keep your heroes alive.
    I manage to go through to meet hulk, but waiting for my team to recover before I try fighting him.
  • The proper and fair way to handle ties, if 2 people are tied in 1st then they should both be ranked as 1st, with nobody being ranked as 2nd until the tie gets broken. Current system handles ties by lazily awarding the better rank to whoever tied last now how do you think that's fair. If they are going to stick to the lazy tie breaker method it should at least go to whoever got their first, its not fair either but better then giving the win to exploiters who wait until the last minute instead of people who played normally. Also I'm down to rank 13 now it's not even been an hour later. There is at least 20+ people tied now cause everyone is capping out at the same max points. If your paying attention you would have noticed this already so no the ties are not going to break unless they change it, you don't actually think those people are going to give up and stop trying to max their points out do you?

    Thanks. Anything you can tell us about mission stacks refreshing?
  • Does hulk's skills seem underwhelming or is it just me?
    Look at his health. He almost has more health starting out than c.Hawkeye does at max. I'm assuming the damage will scale immensely, i.e. being able to 1-hit KO Rags.

    After fighting him I can see some potential in his black. It seemed I had a black spawning
    quite often and if it keeps giving one extra green each lvl that's 5 green and he should be able to build up for his thunderclap rather easily. Still have yet to see his red. 14 ap is rather high though so... Rag widow hulk looks to be nice (what isn't with rag though) with hulk's black being his main use. His green might be better ay higher levels ..we shall see.

    Yeah, I miscalculated a rag run on him, and the cascade countdown greens hurt. A lot
  • so what if all the ties wont last until the end the fact is they can and still do happen and are handled poorly. I don't think we should sweep the problem under the rug just because they might go away in a couple of days. Even if they were rare the problem should still be addressed.
  • Maybe a noob question. Under Recruit Heroes for The Hulk, what does "Powered-Up Hero" mean exactly

    Are you pulling from (assuming no Hulk):
    (a) Punisher, Spidey, Wolverine, Captain at equal odds
    (b) Permanently buffed (a) heroes at equal odds
    (c) Every 2*+ hero at equal odds
    (d) Every permanently buffed 2*+ hero at equal odds

    And if odds are not equal, are they explicitly stated somewhere?
  • How many mission do you guys have played?

    I did the first mission Osborn's New Scheme, but it didint unlocked any new missons.

    Is that right? Do i have to wait some time to the others misson to be unlocked?

    All it means is that the covers are pulled only from that pool of 4 characters - so you are guaranteed to get someone 'powered-up' for this event.
    The odds are absolutely not equal - I bought the 10 pack myself for the guaranteed Punisher, and all 9 other covers were the 2* pair!
    I rather expect the average from 10 packs would be the guaranteed Punisher plus 0-2 other 3* covers.

    N.B. Buffs are never permanent, it always refers to the current event.

    @ louisgustaf
    Just do the other missions there, each of which will unlock 1 of the 2 other zones.

    This would be an interesting mechanic to try sometime...
  • the thing is i got only the Osborn's New Scheme Locked and only that. No other misson or zones.

    Weird.

    That's not good!
    "Hulk Sighting: Nevada" should appear on the left of the screen, then "Hulk Sighting: Canada" after defeating that.
    Have you tried going out the game and back in? That's my only idea! icon_rolleyes.gif

    Also force quiting the app
  • I reinstalled it, and no luck.

    Just opened a ticket.

    During the update for the hulk event, my 3g stopped working. I think it might have something bugged.

    Are you linked to Facebook? If so, maybe try uninstalling?
