Deadpool vs MOST of MPQ

With more and more new characters getting released, the name "Deadpool vs. MPQ" begins to be less and less apropriate, because (duh!) new characters are not in it. So I'm just currious on how the other players feel about events not changing with character updates. Should devs take their time on updating old events a bit: f.e., adding new chars to Deadpool event, Gamora to R&G, maybe some survival nodes to older events, some new dialogs? Or should they just concentrate on making entirely new events and leave the old ones as they are?

    Personally, I would much rather have actually new content.

    That being said, I would love to see some survival nodes show up in The Gauntlet, Heroics, and some of the older events. (Just not as much as new content lol.)

    I'm dreading the day when survival modes are full of actual heroes instead of just goons. You could actually make a Deadpool vs MPQ survival node with every hero at the end of a gauntlet.

    That would be nuts, but if they're looking for a way to justifiably give out a 4* at the end of gauntlet, that right there is it.

    That has got to be everyone's nightmare! I would love to give it a shot though. Falcon is a must in my opinion on your team
  • If you have a survival node that's actually hard I think the game needs to support using health pack in the middle of a game. Maybe it should only work for survival nodes. It'd be more money for D3 but without it, most players wouldn't even have a chance at getting past a decent mix of heroes to begin with so if the reward is actually something good, that should be worth the cost.

    Falcon + Spidey? Spam the board with high-value protect tiles, plus healing? Maybe with Blade or Punisher or someone for damage?
    It sounds like an incredibly difficult challenge.

    Love the idea of a "take on the game" node.

    Heck, that would make a truly interesting mini-Gauntlet mini-event. Maybe just a one-day side event where you beat it, get your rewards and then replay it if you want to amuse yourself, but not for further rewards. The scaling/covering of opposition would be the toughest part to make sure it remains consistent the whole time. Otherwise you eventually just get wrecked by full-covered characters that just wreck face.

    A survival node?! In Gauntlet?! Mother of God..... That'd be tougher than Battletoads.

    I think that there are many many problems with this game, and the fact that one relatively enjoyable PVE doesn't have all of the characters (despite its name) is just about last on the list!

    Falcon + spidey + a high damage dealer with no board shake. Even then, super hard as enemy would almost always have enough ap for a power when a new character comes in.

    There is a serious problem with survival full of heroes: they'll be unavailable for player to choose. You know how people "love" heroics, right? Survival with a lot of heroes would be like heroics, greatly restricting playable team choice.

    If the enemy consisted of every single playable character, of course you would have to code it so that the play can pick from anyone. I thought that was a given.

    An idea seed has just been planted. I'm going to make up my own new story content. Three days should be enough time. Hold my hat, I'm going in.

    Maybe it can literally be Deadpool against everyone else.

    Hmm, I just realized Whales special ability is severely nerfed in survival mode, and it would only take out those currently on the screen. Also, Life of the Party would be useless in that scenario.

    No matter what, if a take on every available character node were viable, the enemy levels would have to be below 100 I would think. Even capped at something like 94, facing 60ish heros would be near impossible. It'd require both AP drain and healing, as just strong protect tiles wouldn't be enough. (new heros jumping in would eventually be able to use built up AP to smash the board) LCap, Hood, OBW seems like the most viable to me right now.

    They could simply add a third chapter (sub) to that event. "Deadpool vs Newcomers" or something like that. I reckon that by now they should have enough.
