    I am a little disappointed that the lightning rounds are only 100% now. Doesn't feel as lightning like!

    Also as soenottelling above I just experienced the wrath of jacobpc hitting me over and over rather quickly!


    Definitely feel slower but I'm getting used to it
  • Is anybody here jacobpc? If so, can you tell me how you are downing me 3 times by the time I down you once? Kinda ridiculous. If not, can iceIX check to see if this is legit? Probably is and he got a lucky starting cascade or two..a few times in a row..but it was pretty ridiculous. Between thereck and jacobpc I was lucky to scrap out a diabolical :/ even then I threw up 25 hp to block in the last 30 sec due to the speed at which Jacob was winning.

    @Fulu... Not sure its coincidence that Jacob and thereck are hitting like that against multiple ppl. Maybe its just a game error multi registering the win? And I've dealt with thereck before doing this.


    Lmao. Me and this jacobpc dude just pounded each other for the entire last hour of hood round. He was usually getting 3 wins to my 2 but sometimes hit me 3-1. It's ok though cuz I was getting 30 points every time / losing 11-13

    Theoretically it's even faster, since the villains relative to each other are the same, but non-villans do more damage, relatively

    But now we have to wait for both teams to attack icon_e_wink.gif hehe
  • Uhh..guys? My doom.has 30k hp right now. Is this just me?

    Edit: did an update like when it does the old patch glitch. Still, insane damage being thrown around for that round.

    The new balanced magneto lol.. don't care enough to host the pic but mag was doing about 3.4k per a swap @lvl 125.
  • May explain how jacobpc was hitting us so fast also.

    Both sides were getting the boost. Seemed like instead of a 100% boost it was x6 or so.

    I was using my mags vs Jacob and I was taking 2 hits to take down maxed rags.
  • Le-sigh. Realized with bout 2 Min left I was too far out of 8th, 10th or so with 60 pts back, and decided to retreat. Got to 20..did another retreat but the time was up by then. Last one didn't count and so I got a purple mag instead of a diabolical :/ thx to a guy with about 100-200 pts attacked me 3 times in the later half and equaled a net drop of 100+. Damn you rgx! O well. I really should just stop trying and ISO farm (as opposed to ISO farming first hour or so and then starting to use boosts even against mid ranges like max rag, thor, villain that I normally wouldn't bother boosting against).

    Watch the last lvl of mag's blue turn into a boost to it's def strength or some garbage and make the 5th point in blue worthless anyway...
  • So the Rags rounds are a joke now. Only played for 30 minutes and was in 14th place with 300 points. Had to do a controlled slide the last 15 minutes to get a Diabolical instead of a Rag token (even though my Rag is only 1/0). Got a Loki from the D-Token, and then traded in my recruit token from the progression rewards and pulled a red Rag. icon_rolleyes.gif Lady Luck has a twisted sense of humor sometimes.
  • I officially hate lighting rounds. Every time I try to actually grind my way to a decent rank I just get obliterated. Using 85 Wolvie/65 Thor and I basically get hit twice for every round I play. I crawled my way up to around #70 and in the last 10 minutes I was knocked down to below #300.
  • I'm not sure tanking lightening rounds is effectively lowering my MMR. Although it could be my 1/2 placements in the hulk tourny that are working against me.
  • My Mags and Loki are at 20k and 17k health, respectively... Something is off about the buff %

    Yeah, I know the feeling. I haven't gotten one diabolical token yet. Came close but not yet.
  • I just played a match in the alternate universe where Rag wasn't nerfed. It was glorious!!!

    Then the game updated and I was back to reality icon_e_sad.gif

    Snap! Back to reality,
    Oh! there goes gravity,
    Oh! there goes Rag and he's nerfed,
    He's so bad now it hurts.
    He used to own this turf.
    But now he's down in the dirt,
    and the devs won't revert
    him to his previous worth.
  • I feel like lightning rounds are easier, maybe with less Rag around. I ran out of time to play but finished comfortably for my Purple Mag cover (if I wasn't busy I could have easily pushed for top 8).

    That mag round was easier than the last 2. No idea why. Was able to.huddle from 0-diabolical starting with only 30 min left in the event. Scores for top 8 were considerably Low as well. Got my last blue mag from the diabolical. YAY. Now I don't have to play mag rounds serious anymore...undecided if I should add it yet though. Probably should right? Based on the order they gave mags is far enough down that he won't change in 7 days.

    Its easier since rewards are nerfed/will be nerfed. Hope they only minimally nerf Mag... and improve his red dmg.
