Might have to start leveling Loki to pair him up with this wolverine.

Great minds think alike lol

Gonna be interesting how the game looks after everyone gets redone on the waiting list
Nice way to make Loki more "viable".

Found you IceIX, Tag. you're it

Yeah! I was worried at the sudden radio silence. Welcome back you were sorely missed. I imagine the guys at D3/Demiurge have a new appreciation for the things you've been doing on the forums.

Best There Is - 216 damage per tile, 148 Strike tiles for allies, 74 for enemies

That seems a robust amount of damage.

must say welcome back iceix, things were collapsing into a black hole without you

You worried us...we thought you were killed or fired.

The more like look at that wolverine the scarier it gets. Loki+patch looks pretty insane. 9 green, 14 red, 12 black in that order...game over for the other team. With boosts that's +6 green, +6 black +6 red turn one...so matches of 1 red match, 2 black matches, and 3 red matches...and the red matches can come after the fact honestly. Seriously though, between his basically match damage immunity, strike tile to ap ratio, strike tile damage, and teamed with Loki he shouldn't be patches.....he should be wolverine (horseman of the apocalypse). I mean, 2 black matches and a green match and he is dropping 12 tiles which now do 12*148=1776 damage ...PER A MATCH.

LOKI...WHERE YO META AT?!?!

Edit: 1332 damage per a match. Didn't realize the opposing strike tiles were worth less. Regardless...my new team will be patch/Loki/obw....lol. 1 cascade = certain death.

I rarely post but read often. It has been slow on official news and your presence has been missed. Glad to have you back IceIX!

Well done, all. It's taken the dev team weeks to balance that wolverine, and you've destroyed it in 10 minutes.

Yes.

Can we please get deadpool and a buff/nerf to moonstone? And Sentry should be the next character. . . And he should be 4*.

Not now. Eventually. Patch is up next. 3*.

So you have a new Wolverine coming, and the general consensus of the 4 Star X-Force Wolverine is he sucks donkey .... ears. What is the word on X-Force Wolvie?

As per viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2079
He's in the queue for alterations.

Soo.....the real question is.....what's it like in China? Did you eat lots? I heard that China unrestricted FB lately as well as loosened up on other regulations (friend that lives there).

I have some of his hair in a bottle around my neck.

Planning to clone him?

I will clone him and send him into D3 to buff the characters of my bidding!! I will soon rule with my buffed Yelena because I know everyone else sells theirs!! /evilcackle

But anyway, another Wolverine? That's a lot of Canknuckle head.

FB and Wikipedia were both blocked still while I was out there, although both are available in HK apparently. But that's what VPNs are for. The downside to FB being blocked is that I couldn't send out any gifts the entire time I was over there since I couldn't pull down the listing of FB friends. Still received gifts since that's server based, but felt a bit guilty.

Yes, ate tons of awesome food, love (and miss) Yinchuan's Chao la mien. Just as the Black Widow Tourney hit I was struck down with a case of tonsilitis though, so that took me out of action for a few days. Sucked quite muchly. I actually wrote the forum post about it as I was lying in bed feeling like I was dying and my wife forced me to go to the hospital after the post was up.

I have to say, between Punisher, Hulk, and now Patch, the designers are doing a great job of giving us interesting choices of builds. I have no idea what to do here!

Green: double the strike tiles from L3 to L5, and the strike tiles are monster (especially in combination with Loki)
Red: in the right team, Patch could conceivably tank EVERY tile (Patch/Thor/Ares), so L5 red takes over from Hulk Smash as the highest possible single damage output in the game (60 tiles * 216 damage = 12k damage omgwtflolbbq). In a more sensible setup Patch maybe tanks 3 colors, so probably something like 27 tiles which is still pretty effing monstrous.
Yellow: 10 is a lot of yellow tiles and his heal is ridiculously good, so I think you have to go 5 yellow if you're planning on using his heal as more than a once-in-a-while bonus.

My gut is to go 5/3/5 (14's kind of a lot and there's a bunch of other good red powers out there) but I'm looking forward to a lot of agonizing over it, same as I've done with Hulk.

So what we know about Ice...he might be Chinese, he can type in PinYin, he is human as he can get sick and also has mysterious people called "friends", and a lady that he wifed.

You were pretty far out....Ice. Dang man. Yinchuan is pretty far out. Glad you made it back and are posting again. We missed ya buddy.

Pretty white actually. European mutt blood. Bit of German, English, Scottish... Yeah. I speak English, Bad English, Pig Latin, Japanese, a little Spanish, and like 50 words of Chinese that aren't numbers and names of food. Wife on the other hand *is* Chinese, speaks Chinese, Japanese, and a little English. Mostly communicate in Japanese, so it works out.

I don't even want to know how you acquired that. Plus, now you have a physical link which you can exploit through the laws of contamination. Assuming that you're into that stuff anyway. That's double plus ungood for me if so.

Good to know you weren't canned or worse still! The forum has been much poorer for your absence, but hope you had a nice holiday (or vacation in America speak )

April Fools Joke...change everything into Pig Latin for a day...Make it so!

Patch has been pretty stable for the past month or so, so he hasn't had any balancing influence on Astonishing. Actually, the finals on Astonishing's balance aren't in yet, we're still tweaking there.

Might have to start leveling Loki to pair him up with this wolverine.

They had best not release him like this. 6 strike tiles for 9 green, with that kind of damage. Wow, just wow.

Yeah but the other team gets just as many, just as strong. It's basically a suicide unless you are sure you are gonna kill them in the next turn.
