  • I finally max covered GSBW and I just got my 5th icon_psylocke.pngblackflag.png bringing me to 5/1/5. Sucks I'll have to wait to get max covers, but I got the ones I want/need. Now I can start crossing my fingers for Patch greenflag.png again. I've had him at 3/4/5 for a long while now and I really want to get him at max + respec to 5/3/5.
  • Good characters that you haven't maxed are being vaulted? You're asking when they will come back? Why ask and wait? You only need to buy their covers with your HP unless you want to spend them on worse characters that have been released since vaulting started icon_twisted.gif

    Here is a better prediction. D3 will release 4-5 more 4* characters in 2015. They are extending the end game of 4* covers. This will give vets more reason to grind to higher scores, spend HP, and be competitive. More older 3* characters will get vaulted for new 3* characters, and by mid year they will be able to give out more 3* covers, becuase 4* will have become the new 3*. If you look at the game they will make the next OP character to compete with Xforce before they funbalance him. The Dev's look to generate revenue and by releasing new characters and vaulting old characters that are deemed to be out of date they are trying to giveing players more to play for. 2*-3* transition will become harder until they increase 3* drop rates ( probably after another 2-3 4* character releases).

    Also I am predicting Dare Devil will get a Buff. He was such an utter flop with his traps, and they will be releasing another trap character in December. I also think the Hand will be the new goons based on what people have said in the forum so he could be a leader of the Hand in PVE. By making his traps better he will be a better opponent in PVE.

    One last predicion Pinky and the Brain will try and take over the world icon_e_wink.gif !!!!! and fail icon_e_sad.gif

    I made enough predictions that one of them came true!!! icon_cool.gif
  • Will LadyThor be added to the packs as well?

    We want thor! We want thor!

    Oh snap, a third Loki ability. Colour me excited/intrigued. Let's hope it befits the tricksy SOB and makes him more of a power player.

    Would LOVE him to get more hit points, too. I mean, he's a frickin' GOD y'know?

    They're the Norse Gods from myth. There's nothing "demi" about them.

    As I predicted long ago, Wolvie has had a going over and one, possibly two of his abilities will change. Likely yellow, chance of red. His healing will move more towards a 3 cover ability but health will increase to compensate.

    Possibly.

    I had thought if there was going to be any change to Patch it would be to his red. TBTI scaling based on character icons present is a little delicate and not very intuitive. After Gamora was revealed to use a similar type of scaling, it seems that mechanic is here to stay, so I wouldn't expect Patch to change.

    Well, he's the son of Frost Giants, actually. Loki may have been raised in Asgard, but is not biologically one of them.

    Yeah, I'm aware of that.

    Let's let Marvel.com settle this.

    "God of Mischief".

    Thanks, Marvel.com.

    They should totally give you a max covered Daredevil because of that!

    Hmmm on one hand i'm interested to see what Loki's 3rd ability is. On the other hand he just might be the new adversary in PVE and i'm dreading to see what Loki + 2 goons feeding him will do. icon_eek.gif

    I have dare devil max covered and leveled to 140. He will be ready to kick som butt next season.
  • Looking very forward to Daredevil changes. Mostly to see how well he will play with XForce, who he makes a perfect rainbow with.

    I'm curious as to what Wolverine keeping up his excerice regimine means? It would be nice if they tweaked him a little bit as he went from top 5 character to nowhere with the C.Mags rework. If they just made TBTI cost 12AP I would be super happy.
    It means he hasn't been nerfed for not doing his exercises.
    My fear is that it means Patch has "lost some weight."

    I've actually been toying with that pairing already for the last 2 days or so - perhaps some premonition of things to come. Currently both are underlevelled and not optimally spec'd. My Xforce is L223 with 4/4/5, Daredevil is L100 with 5/3/4.

    I don't think there's too much different from using XF as you would normally - SS a colour out and you should pick up some cascades to fuel other AP pools. When I can take black to 5, then that will only improve AP generation.

    Today I've added Loki (L65 5/4) to that line up and jumped into SHIELD Sim. I'm still only fighting 2*'s and underlevelled 3*'s (although that's probably a fair match for my DD and Loki). Using Illusions to swap tiles to match my own equalizer traps to generate more blue AP to drop more equalizers is actually quite fun - and it's not too hard to get 2 or 3 of them in play as well as a few cotchkick traps.

    It almost feels like a legit strategy already, just one that's not fast and not reliable on defense. Still, quite fun, and I'll be looking forward to seeing the returning characters. I think I've got enough ISO banked that I could soft cap one of those two if they do end up moving into the big leagues.

    Maybe he's bulking up (more health?)

    I'm pretty sure it's just flavor and nothing else. Don't think we'll be seeing any changes to Patch.

    So... no Patch patch?

    Patch accidentally tore his patch while frolicking in the berry patch. In the upcoming patch patch will have a patch on his patch and a new found respect for picking berries with impaired depth perception.
