Coming Soon: Deadpool's Daily Quest!

Bryan Lambert

This new mode addresses so many of my issues with the game that, if it doesn't get tweaked too heavily, the game'll definitely be getting some money from me.

For me, the biggest flaw has been the effort vs. reward curve, and how it changes and actually gets worse the better you get and the farther you go in the game. The difficulty scales with your progress, but the rewards don't, so you're not only working as hard or harder for hte same stuff, the more stuff you have, the less valuable to you that new stuff is. A 50HP reward goes from being half of a roster slot to 1/16 of one. Three star covers become 500 ISO if you don't need them.

Deadpool's Daily Quest, with the fixed difficulty, means that the farther along you are in the game, the easier the rewards are to get. And that's a good thing, because the overall blaance of the game has gotten worse, so this brings things back into balance.

Add to that the one-star and the two-star requirements, which add variety and reward full rosters, and it's no surprise that this is the kind of thing we've all been wanting.

I, too, like this event. And although I lack the current character for today's event, I am having fun with the missions therein.

(Sure am glad I kept some of those covers...)

Just started, first impressions:

2 nodes = 3* cover woot!
(I burned +100% dmg boosts, but the survival node seemed relatively easy)
3* Thor
2* OBW
2* Daken

Would have used my 3* Deadpool, but he's been benched

1* required node =
My level 1 IM35 stood no chance

[edit] - attempt #2 with lone Mr. Stark leveled to 50... stressful. If Storm got Wind Storm off I would have been toast. Luckily the AI managed to match out most of the goon CD tiles, so it was pretty reasonable.

Could only play the first three nodes today (no BP), but can't wait for tomorrow! Did score some ISO out of it and it was nice to have different challenges.

Taco tokens have the same low odds of giving you a 3* character as the regular event tokens and heroic tokens do, but the odds of each individual 3* are much much higher because there are so few of them in the pool. So with a heroic token you have a .7% chance of getting Rocket & Groot, but here it's a whopping(?) 2%.

Yeah, I pulled Captain America and Ares!!!

In the 5 day week this week, if you get all 10 tokens you should have 1.43 3star and hp draws.

Next week, assuming the percentage increases to 18.3%, you should have 2.56 3star and hp draws on 14 tokens.

Not much in this world is free, but this is pretty damn good

I just finished a couple of my nodes and as a quasi-transitioned player (I have a 166 3*Cap and 153 BP with only 2 black covers - terrible synergy) and even though I don't need the yellow BP cover, the fact that I can regularly collect a guaranteed 3* cover is awesome. I personally love the wave nodes in general and I thought this was a great mix of stuff. I really enjoyed playing the daily quest!

MojoWild

Loving this event, even as a 3*-4* player. It wasn't a grind, I got some good iso, and the potential for more 3* covers. I drew 2 2* and didn't need the yellow BP, but am excited for the possibilities.

Short and fun event, not grindy and with a decent scaling. Definitely doable.

First couple of times through the survival node with varying 2-3* rosters I thought would work: "DANG these guys are overpowered! I thought this was for people who need 3* covers, not for people with 12000 hp monsters like 4hor and Hulk!"

Ran survival node with level 94 2* Cap, Daken, and OBW: "Dang, this was pretty easy."

The moral of the story: if you have a maxed 2* Cap/Daken/OBW team available, USE IT!!!! (The downside -- it takes forever to clear. But I was never in any real danger of losing anyone.)

LOL, I've got a level 1 Storm 1* for Combined Arms. No 2K ISO for me today.

BP yellow is the only cover of his I don't need (1 blue and 1 black away from maxing) but 500 ISO is still nice.

This bodes well, I like the format

This event is fantastic, really props to D3! This kills all the whales and but you get the money back via HP for rosters. So... Just take my money already for roster slots and give us the HP sale!!

Not sure why people are still complaining tho. It is aimed for 2-3* transition not a 1-2*, and you can easily get a FREE 3* cover if you have a core of Level 94 characters. If you don't, the event isn't running for just a week.

No essentials? No problem, free ISO, Taco tokens and HP which is FANTASTIC for upping your 2* covers and levels. It's just a matter of time before you can start earning 3* essential covers in PVE and pumping those daily free HP into roster slots.

And the question about the strong getting stronger.. You aren't competing against anyone unless it's PVP, and vets like us still need more covers and ISO to push a level 40 to 166. Playing it once day mean it is guaranteed if you have the essential!

I LOVE YOU D3!

Fantastic daily quest! Keep up the good work D3!

Roswulf

This is fantastic. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic.

The only problem I have is that both the nodes themselves and the rewards structure are so much better for a transitioner that I'm thinking of giving up on all the other game modes. This is the best of all problems.

Just awesome.

The Gunslinger

I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around the fact that this is going to happen every day. How tinykitty amazing is that?

Whoever came up with the idea for this at D3 deserves a pat on the back.

Huge props for a wonderful Daily Quest experience here as well.

- Great variety in node type
- Good variety in enemies faced
- Awesome to play another mode without featured boosted characters
- Amazing choice to limit some nodes to 1* and/or 2* rosters!
- Love the decision to have each victory give you the reward. No grinding over and over to get that 500 ISO, etc.
- Tokens with a chance at HP makes this mode interesting for us 4* tier players as well. The added 5000ish ISO will come in handy on non-LR days for sure as well. Great touch
- The fact that I wasn't facing off against level 395 mobs was super refreshing. I was fully expecting this mode of play to be ultra punishing like The Gauntlet. Instead it was relaxing without feeling trivial.

I've already leveled Ares and Captain Marvel out of anticipation of future 1*/2* nodes. Consider that unnecessary ISO expense my thank you for such a great implementation of this new mode. I especially look forward to using Captain Marvel since she's a unique character who was previously useless by nature of being a ** character at my level of play.

You just made an addict more addicted!! Hahahaha...your commentary for was perfectly spot on. SO funny reading the stuff you guys come up for him. Loved all aspects of this Daily Quest! The nodes were fun, the essential was sweet using just regular non-boosted characters, the 1 requirement was the most fun for me, and the rewards and iso were much appreciated! Thank you for an awesome experience!!! I hope we get more game modes from you guys! This one was perfect and I'm willing to try any non perfect events too!!

I had a great time playing, and I got 1000 HP from my first Taco Token! Cha-ching!!

I'm curious if they plan to keep it under the 'Story' tab. It has nothing to do with the story (such as it is), but it wouldn't fit under the PVP tab either. Perhaps a new tab just for this event? After all, it is a new mode of play. (Gauntlet could also go under this new tab. Call it... 'Extras' or something.)

What. The. Hell. Taco Tokens only give 10% at a 3*? EVEN IF you can get one for basically free by playing a single mission, this exposes the deadpool daily for what it really is: a cash grabbing, money making scheme from an evil company that's just out to get us. This is an outrage. I expected these tokens to be at least as good as the heroic tokens, if not twice as good. This game is spiraling downwards, and if Demiurge doesn't fix this, then they're going to lose all of us.

I spent a lot of time trying to reconcile this against your usual thoughtful posting style. Thank you for clarifying that later in the thread. You have saved me a lot of cognitive dissonance.

Loving the design. Was fun to see missions that reward having 1* and 2* characters on your roster. A lot more variety required then what most of us regularly use in PVP and PVE.
