Maggia/Dark Avenger battles impossible after Patch

Hulk11

I know I'm not the only one experiencing this, but just the whole Patch, the boosts and Wolverine, just make these battles impossible. Waiting on the next missions, but if it's anything like this lvls 60+, and with this state of the game. Just can't compete. Sorta needed these missions to level up.

I use obw, spiderman and patch wolve all under 50 and I win them all, not very hard at all.

I sold my thor and wolvie and levelled patch and Iron man to 80 and it was even easier than before. 3/5/5 patch.


but that was before I realized boosts now cost 100 hp....

I'd certainly use that roster, given the buffs. Biggest downside for me is that I don't have a decent spidey at all, and this new wolverine is a huge hurdle.

This is probably the biggest issue with this patch dropping mid event. So many ppl ran these guys as a staple in their team and enemy level is too high now with changes.

But progression is a relative thing. If you can't beat it, other people likely can't beat it, which means your placement is not affected. Right now there seems to be more than enough points to hit Patch at 20K, so what's the problem? I only beat it once after the change and it took about 3 tries as opposed to beating it on every refresh in the past, but I'm sure other people are similarly handicapped too.

Yep. Hearing that he sold off Thor, makes me not want to try the army of one event either. Sure if you fight it out you can get a patch wolverine, but he's too risky with my roster. Very tough spot. I'm only contemplating the army of one event now, because these story mission are now too challenging. Just got to wait it out.

I'm actually aiming to pick up 3 new Thor covers in this Army of One. I already sold off my Thor to put some levels into Patch and OBW. Ended up #1 in my last sub, so I'm contemplating selling my 2* Wolvie and finish transitioning to using Patch in his place.

I sold 2* wolvie to get iso for my patch. I think I won't be complaining anytime soon about that decision.

You're missing a /s tag, right? Seriously? All three of those heroes are buffed for the Event, giving them a 3x effective level. My boostd lvl 38 Wolvie Patch has damage equivalent to about lvl 130.

I'm tip-toeing my butt off right now against the Maggia Muscle.

Last match- I got to use Wolverines Best There is power to clean out the last Maggia who had 4k health left. Wolverine had 39 and he was the only guy I had left still, Yikes!!! This is nuts.

I too am no longer playing. I can not see any way of beating the PVE without using boosts and I can no longer afford to purchase boosts.. I had leveled Patch a few times before the patch came out this morning and am pretty much ISO broke. Before I could grind a few prologue matches at 20 iso a pop to get enough in 5 matches to buy 1 boost. Now we have to grind 10 matches. (Or 30 if I want to use 3 boosts).

Yea I missed an entire round of plays this morning and still got first by 200 pts. Either ppl didn't care or they couldn't finish the battles like they used to. Honestly without magneto and pre-patch patches (I won't update yet) I dont know how I would do. For now, magneto makes matches both fun and relatively uneasy with a little thought. I am going to miss him.

I'd love to know how new players are getting along. I've been playing since December and I'm starting to hit a wall. I'm done with the prologue and I've run out of "easy" HP. These Maggia events have me fighting enemies that are 50+ levels above my heroes. The boosted heroes (for this event) that I have are only at level 15-20 and I'm not sure how to grind for ISO anymore to level them up enough to be competitive. The regular PvP ladder is starting to look ridiculous as well as most players have heroes averaging +20 levels above mine.

I understand that it's not easy for developers to balance everything and I'm sure they're working really hard to find a stable "meta-game" as made evident by the frequent changes being made on a day to day basis.

Here is a simple breakdown of my problem: If I am unable to compete for enough ISO in PvE battles to become competitive in PvP battles then I have no reason to play this game. Similarily, If I'm unable to grind towards enough HP to 'at least' keep the BIG reward covers or rare drops from standard recruit tokens then I have no reason to play anymore.

I have spent some money on this game, but I won't be a "whale" and at the current rate I won't even be a person that spreads any "word-of-mouth" good-will about this game.

No joke.

Same result. I cleaned out the last Maggia Muscle, with My alone guy being left, this time Iron Man, with only 77 health left. The last Maggia had 400 and luckily I cleaned him out with my repulsor blast which I just earned. I'm one move from getting cleanup, or one move from getting a pretty cheesy match out of the way, pre-patch. It's tough right now.

I've been doing the same.

Patch at approximately 60, OBW at 44 and Spidey at 65. Takes a while, but finish most 230 fights at full health. This is even without the all ap boost as well. Just got the client patch though, and most fights have dropped to level 80ish, which is more mild.

Is there a downside to not updating to the latest version? I'm enjoying Patch and his twelve strike tiles, hate to give it up.

I hadn't recieved the last sub mission rewards, so I thought I should patch to get the reward. Still didn't get it though

Not updating? Means Patch will be remain bugged, but also all the PvE fights will be magnitudes harder than after the patch. Before, I was facing 230s, now its 80s or so in the new sub.

Oh, they fixed level scaling?

OK, maybe I'll still give this event a chance. I logged in before updating and saw the vastly overpriced boosts with levels still at 230 and was ready to chuck it in.

Unknown

Can anyone confirm that post patch the opponents are not all 230s (who had all 230s before the patch)? That would be worthwhile for sure as I'm getting crushed!

Unknown

For me, the opponents dropped down to lvl 30-50 for one encounter, then all jumped back to 90-230 after that. Back to no event participation for me, yay!
