Just lost another one to an X-Man villain team up. **** She Hulk? Seriously? Starting to make me angry, all the heroic betrayals.

I think I see a pattern: Collosus, Psylocke and all the other C-lister heroes are all fed up over being unused, and have all turned over to the dark side

Yuck. I thought the bracket ended at 9pm yesterday instead of 9am. It will be really tough to pull off Top 20 with the handicap I just gave myself.

Nope. Tomorrow morning

What is up with all the Avengers teaming up with Moonstone in this thing? Colossus keeps Fastballing Sentry at me. Aren't PvE's supposed to pick TUs from their side?

Think that's bad? I had a match where Sentry ruptured x2 AND a colossus fastball. . . for another rupture, naturally. I was lucky there were enough red tiles from constant triggering of Cyclops yellow to kill Sentry off w/ Cyclops bk attack. For that node, I think patch/cyclops/obw is the best matchup.

If i remember rightly i was using OBW, 2 Thor and a very underpowered 3 Storm due to the requirement. (only had 1 and 1 cover) No idea why but i kept getting really unlucky on that node, being hit with cascades and crit in the opening few moves. on one run i had just Thor left alive, with a very small amount of health. They only had Sentry and Colossus, both on enough health to one shot. Colossus had next to no hp left and manages to get a fastball off on sentry. Obviously i can't do anything about the aborne sentry so i take out Colossus.

Sentry lands, decides to use a sacrifice and kills himself, winning the node for me

Never have i had both good and bad luck play such a huge part in one match before that.

For me it has been mostly bad luck.or rather bad design.

Passive players feeding the likes of the hood so there are multiple twin pistols per match.

Unusual and idiotic inclusion / exclusion of heroes where luck comes in certainly. Im not in the top 150 and hqve gotten top prize.

Again a clearly thoughtless and inane prize scale where the top 20 will have double the points of the top prize.

I had hoped to get the third power for my 140 ragnarok since they ( unlike doom and loki ) figured that rather than merely adding a new power they would totally rejig his powers. But as is so often the case rather than moving the game forward they get cute and ruin the experience. But immediately i realized it would be a waste of time so ill put my 140 rag on the shelf until i luck out.

Extend this to their coming change of characters. Instead of tried and true powers they get cute and it blows up in their face...

they have to change the new thorette because idiotic charged tiles are, well, idiotic.

They change a brand new iron fist ( who no one knows or cares about ) because he is unfair.

they have to change a newish mystique because of their cutesy powers.

finally they have to nerf an original character to cover for the unintended consequences of their idiocy in magneto.

now guys who have put in their time are facing the likes of 3 star teams of blade and luke cage where they find a team out of the gate have an overstrengthened protect tile and multiple power tiles right away for free.

so while you save up for power moves you get your face melted off.

I find it ironic that people are blaming luck or unfairness when this event is setup to not be remotely fair to you in any possible way. This event isn't even pretending that it's fair.

Just in case my post was taken the wrong way, i love the luck in the game.

It's my favorite mobile game by a long way and i think a lot of that comes down to the unpredictability of each match and how you have to adapt to certain situations. I've had luck completely demolish me in two or three turns before, but equally i've won matches that i had no right to thanks to starting with perfectly placed 5's and cascades to follow.

Goons + Characters in the same node can be a pain, but that's the whole point. I'd hate it if things were made any easier.

I find loads of people seem to complain for little to no reason, it's a shame really.

As far as this event goes, i remember reading someone else saying this ages ago (as a general comment rather than related to this event) but damn Juggernaut is a **** to fight against at higher levels. His health and headbutt scale ridiculously and i'm finding him the one i've dreaded fighting the most in this event. 8k health and 2.5k headbutts are ridiculously difficult to deal with at level 100

I believe they're talking about a Colossus TU being used by the enemy. Colossus isn't in any of the nodes.

Oh, I'm just saying you can't blame it on 'luck' when the game is already rigged for you to lose. You don't need luck when you're Juggernaut with an Analyst on your side. Too bad we never get those kind of extra help!

Analyst: Hmm...yes...according to my calculations. Juggernaut, can you Headbutt the enemy?

Juggernaut: *Laughs*

I would love to see a bit of dialogue like that in a future PVE event. It would probably have to be somewhere where you were teamed up with Deadpool...heck, even if they just tweaked the dialogue in the Deadpool vs... event, that would work.

Speaking of luck, on Ragnarok's node, I was getting so many cascades & match 5's that I think he's probably off on the AI's MPQ message board complaining how much I cheat. I guess every dog has their day...

I can see a dialogue against say The Hood + 2 Muscle. It'd go like this:

Deadpool: "Hey player, we're going against The Hood with 2 Muscles, and I think you have about 3 turns before we have a 99.999999% chance of losing the game. Why are you looking at me for? You're the player. You figure out how to win!"

Got another 1st finish in my bracket and managed to get 20th overall, very happy with that

I missed pretty much the whole of the second part but managed to get first on the first and third days, OBW being powered up is really, really helpful.

Ironically more excited to be getting HP than i am the ragnarok cover, i have about 6 different character covers waiting to recruit and no slots to recruit them

Why is it top 20 to get 2 covers instead top 50 like it use to? It makes since for a 4* star like Prof X, but why for Ragnarok?

It is pretty discouraging when I have over 2.5X the progression awards and still 4k out of top 20.

Because the random number generator hates us.
I wonder if this means blue will be an easily obtainable PvP prize.

Ragnarok will be easily attainable b/c he's trash. They did skip him in Daily Deadpool though...*conspiracy ensues*

LOL

Didn't get top 20 because I couldn't be bothered grinding for a **** ability. Opened my last DA:Heroic token from the final sub...Rags blue.

RNGesus, you mock us all.

To the players pushing for top 2 overall in my Rag pve bracket: since I already have 5 XF black covers, I am going to concede second place and let someone else take that cover. Unless I drop out of top 10, I will not hit another node. JuanDMP, Yashua, thundrax---good luck!
