This is a good jump off point for me (not due to Rags)

If you want to slam through other teams fast, it will cost you health packs. If you want to do it without getting hurt as much, you will have to do some strategy and use support characters.
    Yeah, uh...

    You are assuming they will nerf healing? Yeah, that is what makes spidey strong! Not the stun lock!

    Are you saying that there was no strategy in puzzle quest 1? What are you getting at?

    I can't tell if this was sarcasm, but was there any other strategy besides first turn win with Berserker Rage and some legendary item to give you +x mana whenever you matched 4 or 5 skulls? I never did PVP in the original PQ but that was the easiest I-Win button ever.

    No sarcasm. Turning all greens into reds then turning all reds into skulls then destroying all yellows and blues to cause massive cascades. Wish mpq had setups that advanced.

    Dude, he's already answered this - it's so we can talk about the original PQ. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I liked some of what Galactrix tried to do, but the actual game sucked. Beyond it's insane bugginess, there was little evolved strategy. But they came close. I really wanted to like that game.

    Calm please. Whether Dugan is an active player or not has no bearing over whether or not any player is able to be a part of the community for however long they want to be.

    Dunno if this is the place for this but feel like getting it off my chest. I apologies in advance for any butt-hurt it may induce.

    Got 2 R Moonstones sitting in my que. finally got new spots so i throw her in.
    had a simple plan of placing in a certain spot at the end of the hulk event to get all the Moonstone covers
    babysat that **** all night.
    tried to sure up my score after the usual **** attacking spree while i slept.
    conclusion: I ended up ranking up too high on the tourney board and got a single Punisher cover.

    Now it starts to hit me: There is no reasonable predictable way for me to get the cover i actually want now. Now im stuck with a useless 3* that's taking up space and is gonna be a tossup to find covers to level it without grinding my **** off. On top of all that, the one frickin character i actually want to work on i cant. my choices are spend more money on 200Hp pack s and cross my fingers (which almost everyone who has played this game has said, don't do) sit around grinding through tourneys to get free coins. I'm getting sick of having to jump through hoops just to get some decent simple progression. All because they want to pad out the progression to cover for the fact that there's not enough content to allow for decent leveling.
    and before the hardcore lifers get on my case this should bug you too as you spent all that time and or money prepping to play one game then 2 updates later its another game.

    I'm not going to claim I'm through with the game entirely. But too many times the frustration seems to outweighs the fun, so i can understand anyone who would like to just quit. and i think that's bad for those that leave and those that remain.

    DDD, that doesn't work on the PC version of Puzzle Quest 1.

    Seriously, if you had played PC version, you would know those petty tricks were removed.

    So what do the best players do?

    Use a knight. Build full HP. Give him return damage equipment. Now AFK. Profit.

    Lol.

    And you still haven't replied my message. -_-'

    Yeah, Galactrix never really came together. There weren't enough modifiers to what you could do in combat; none of the abilities ever really felt like they mattered. You didn't have the insane range of add-ons (mounts, enemy skills, crafted equipment) to change your ability set. I built the death star that you got plans for at the end of the game, but never really felt that accomplishment was meaningful.

    PQ1 Berserker Rage was pretty nuts. My memory is of feeling guiltier about playing the paladin, though. The ability to turn selected colors into purple and to eat all the purple got ridiculous, and the fact that I picked up relatively frequent Heroic Efforts made me feel a little self-conscious.

    The competitive/ftp nature of MPQ really seems to be constraining what is permissible. Anything too strong will imbalance the play environment.

    You need to remember, the PC version of PQ1 don't have those things.

    The PC version nerfed a lot of things. Warrior was no longer OP. Knight became the most viable option.

    Im still here hoping for some announcement that will draw me back. IW buff and patch wolv arent it. Patch wolv green is cool but man that passive healing is too much.
