The thing thats really ticking me off about this is how limited your choice of heroes is. Can't use Patch, Hulk, Punisher OBW etc etc.
Don't have a daredevil and the other chars that are allowed aren't leveled for me. So I guess I shall be playing something else for the duration.

So much this. Sold my Astonishing Wolvie last night to boost Patch for the BTI tourney, woke up today to this Heroic nonsense and realised that he was basically my only chance of competing.

Struggling to see the logic behind the roster choices, but then I'm struggling to see it in anything they're doing with the game thesedays.

This is pretty funny. When I finished my run yesterday (about 12 hours ago) I was #4. Wake up this morning, still #4. It looks like nobody actually wants to play in this event.

Well it's not that people don't want to play, but it's just not feasible or manageable for some due to scaling issues.

I did get to 750 before just giving up, and the only tactic that worked for me was Spider-Man plus high-level Grey Widow - 3rd character zero importance, given the lack of compatibility.
Don't use anyone else's powers!
I have a L85 Wolverine, but 40 damage strike tiles are feeble against 10k health foes and a] Sniper Shot kills countdowns = saves lives) b] Pistol is weak but will break countdowns & shake-up board which is massively more impactful than Slashing health.

Order of collecting:
1. Blue for All Tied Up
2. Purple for Deceptive Tactics (turns into many-greens for Sniper Shot + eliminates countdowns)
3. Red for Pistol (eliminating countdowns)
4. Greens for Sniper Shot (kills foes eventually + eliminates many tiles)
5. Yellow for Web Bandages maybe
6. If all else fails, eliminate as many tiles as can and hope for the best!

Tactics:
Quit if a deadly countdown is about to go off! Get at least 1 more try at a match with a supervillain in when all wounded, 2 more tries if henchmen only.
Stun Daken before making any green matches, if have blue to spare.
If the board is garbage (environment/black/yellow) try to get by without stunning the supervillain, to get twice as many new tiles introduced.
Keep an eye on Spidey/Widow health, so once they get low (which sadly doesn't take long) you have to start stunning the supervillain just to stop them making matches.

That's pretty much it; no idea how (non-1*) people accomplish anything without this pair w/ many covers, but I don't want to find out!
Content just to limp to the 2nd Heroic event token and bail out.

Did anyone else get this message when entering the event?

"UI_MetagameMap_CH04_Heroic_PVE_Title"

All I'm saying us GWBS and storm c are highly compatable.

Remember rags red to storms green to rags red to storms green?
Now just replace rags red with GWBS pink and you have the same thing.
It takes like 15 minutes per match and is not fun at all but it works.

(On goons at least, haven't even attempted to fk wit some villains).

Just imagine how much fine this sort of cockup will be after they nerf Spidey.

Not saying that what some people have done is probable, but been playing with my level 66 and below team, I have been able to currently place 5th with 1160 points. And that's all off of 160 - 230 level minion battles. It does make you think on how to best use your characters, so the challenge is doing its job. Point in fact, these minion battles are much easier than anything the TaT event had in it (those 3 muscles fights were not even worth trying after first completion! ).

So I'm kinda not understanding why more players are not going against these missions, especially some who actually have the tools at their disposal already. It's not hard, and you can get through each battle without taking any damage at all, even without spidey.

On a different note entirely: it seems that grinding down to 1 point increases the dynamic missions levels on a large scale, so I would recommend not grinding out a mission fully if you want to keep things manageable.

What's your secret in getting rid of the countdown tiles when the board is bad with no proper tiles to match? I keep getting that sort of **** board with no tiles to pull off any decent combo.

So you know what team I am playing with, it's C. Storm, GSBW, and spidey (who now does nothing), going from highest of 66 to lowest of 32. GSBW red is actually a great spot clearer when you don't have the match ups on board, or the sniper short. Her purple is also good for shaking up the board as well. Storms green comes in handy also for potential cd destruction, and shaking up the board more. The whole point here isn't so much as killing them as fast as possible, but to destroy the enemy tiles through any means possible. It takes a bit, but eventually you get up to speed and become self sustaining to the point of annihilating those goons. And between sniper shot and C storm, aoe is gtg, and enough stuns to make sure you don't have too much to worry about.

None of this would be happening if they'd just put 3* Howard the Duck in the game.

Seems about right.

I hate rubber banding.

I just wish the event itself didn't suck.

I don't have GSBW red, just green and purple, so it's 1/0/1. Not sure how to do any of the missions now.

There is too much repetition in PvE events.

They shouldn't drag events out to 5/7 days by repeating sub-events or missions over and over when they should be a 2/3 day event or so. PvP events feel a bit long at 2.5 days too. They should just run the event a few days/weeks later if they are trying to produce enough content.

Yes.

Best progression will be 10000 pts for purple daredevil. After that, people go lazy.

I woke up and nobody in my bracket had done anything. So I'm about to take first and I'm barely going to play this garbage because it's boring and not remotely fun to spend 10 minutes whittling stunlocked goons down to nothing.

Yes.

This Pve event is already down to like 5.5 days. Wasn't the last 1 like 10 days long?
I think 5.5 for Pve is reasonable. Pvp I'd like to see down to like 36 hours myself but not one of my bigger issues really.
