Im starting this threat to show developers tow cruel they are and to proof they don´t play this game and that they don´t have slightest idea about problems this game has.

The Hunt PVE is probably worst PVE ever. We have 4* relesead through this PVE.

Im going to write and update regulary, how much time I played this PVE to ensure TOP 5 (all 3 covers for Professor X).

There are six subs.

1, When I was finished with sub 1 (Alaska), my playing time was 5 hours. I was 3rd overall. I have played all levels with XF and GT.

2, When I was finished with sub 2 (Florida), my playing time was 3 hours. I was 3rd overall. I have played all levels with XF and GT. I needed to get up at 06.30 am because of it.

3, When I was finished with sub 3 (Savage Land), my playing time was 3,5 hours. I was 3rd overall. Ares in last sub was aroud level 320 and he has almost 22.000 hitpoint. Of course I have played all levels with XF and GT, what other choise did I have? I needed to get up at 06.30 am because of it.

4, When I was finished with sub 4 (Alaska), my playing time was 3 hours. I was 3rd overall. I have played all levels with XF and GT. I have hated every minute of it. I have quarelled with my GF.

5, When I was finished with sub 5 (Florida), my playing time was 4,5 hours. I was 6rd overall. If I won´t be top 5 I swear I won´t play PVE anymore.

5, When I was finished with sub 6 (Savage Land), my playing time was 4 hours. I was 4rd overall.

Total game time so far: 23 hours. Position 4th. Score: 132.112. Pls developers, did any of you play this game for almost one day (!!!!) in last 6,5 days? We all know the answer.


Why am I doing this? This game is pure luck, if I don´t receive all 3 covers now, there may be chance I won´t receive them at all.
Btw, easy fix - allow players to buy covers even if they don´t have first cover.

    I'm sorry to say that D3 would NEVER allow direct purchases of specific covers. To me, MPQ is a digital version of a trading card game (just follow my logic for a moment icon_lol.gif ), and the publisher gets more revenue by selling blind packs than specific cards.

    If you want to be well rounded pve/pvp player, your only option is to blow hp to buy slots and have a wide range of 1-4 star characters in your roster. You don't necessarily have to level your 1/2s, but having access to them would allow you to participate in certain events like heroics and combined arms.
  • The Hunt is an especially bad event but the reason you have to play so much is because the game is too easy so therefore there are obviously at least 5 other guys that can also play continously for just as long which is why you have to do this in the first place. Counting myself there's at least 3 guys clearing everything down to near 1 in my bracket and that would not have changed if it was any other event that's not harder than The Hunt (probably everything except Simulator Hard and Prodigal Sun). Had the event be easier you could be done in 2 hours and then you'd wonder why people beat you by a score of 100 because they spent the next 3 hours grinding 1 point missions, or that you'd be spending the next 3 hours grinding 1 point missions.
  • I'm hovering around #10 and hitting burnout point with another 60 hours to go. I may pack off and settle for top 50, unless the weekend means my score picks up (which it well may).

    4* launches are awful. I wish they'd start launching these using Deadpool vs. MPQ or something similarly short.
  • They should start nerfing events instead of characters. This event is the epitome of how stupid pve is. I made a commitment to my ally to do this one but after this I won't compete pve anymore...how worthless is this? Again as I have stated many times before your scoring system is utter garbage. I have to come back every 8 hours to "optimize" my points...bwahahaha ha...how stupid is that? You have an alternative in the gauntlet but only use it as a one time event every once in a while...what gives? Too busy counting that money I guess.

    Just remember "pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered."
  • The original TaT had 2 stacks of everything, so you can be done in under an hour easy. And then people started grinding 1 point node over and over for an hour because the sub rewards were quite good (Patch covers). The same would happen given any sufficiently attractive reward had the missions been any easier. The Hunt is not a good event but if this was Deadpool vs MPQ most likely you'd probably finish with an hour or two to spare compared now and then just keep on grind 1 point missions for 2 hours because otherwise if at least 1/5 people did that (and anyone that's currently forcing you to play for 5 hours definitely will do this) you'd be missing out on top 1/5, and might get even higher because Deadpool vs MPQ has relatively low scaling/easier nodes compared to the Daken + Ares extravaganza.

    They need to either cut it in half, or create different subs/bases. Why in the world would the villains return to the bases they already attacked? And go through the same dialogue and traps. It is horrid on multiple levels.

    Don't play it. I often play PvE, but I always skip the most anticipated 4* releases like 4* Thor. As you might guess, I still don't have 4* Thor, but it sounds like I'm enjoying the game more than you are.
