  • TaT was 6 days long.
  • I lucked out and was able to get 4500 points out of the nerfed missions before they fixed it, and I'm probably just going to more-or less coast for the rest of this. I'm first by 700 points, but I'm having real trouble with any of the missions above 100th level (I've got a 75th level Wolverine, 53rd level Spider-man, and it's downhill from there) and the Daredevil you have to use on lot of these is literally useless against hammer troops. Given how slow this thing is likely to go, I might be able to coast to top 3 on what I have right now.

    I"m not sure I understand how this is supposed to work. Given the 12-hour cycle (which means I'll be playing this less than twice a day on average, due to things like sleep and work) the top rewards seem literally impossible to get.

    Yes it's pretty funny actually how terrible these missions are for showcasing the new character.
  • Yeah DD is pretty worthless in this.

    I too have the crazy opponent levels. Not ready at all to face level 150 hammer cats who can down me with one attack.
  • 150? Consider yourself lucky.

    Except for the first mission and the first Daken mission, all my battles are 200+

    Does anyone have a list of the points available for each mission? I just need to know the max points for certain missions so I don't redo them too soon.

    Symbiote Showdown is the same as Arrested. Like Father Like Son starts at 150.

    One of the worst things is probably the fact that they've stated they've removed the ability to tank in this event unlike the previous.
    Despite the fact that there is still a gradual increase in enemy levels - and what appears to be decrease over a substantial amount of time.
    Tanking was mundane a bit sadistic and wholly repetitive but at least it made the event possible and playable for some.
  • Ok it's still hilarious to me every time the enemy uses a silent strike. I've mentioned it before but every time it leaves my roster sitting from 17-500 health (storm c at 17 every time), followed by storm delivering 4500 damage to every enemy, followed by storm C's blue and it's basically game over.

    Downside - all 3 covers require a health pack afterwards.

    Upside - at least I don't have to dwindle down enemies for 15 minutes.

    I'll call it a win. Take my 2 victories and back to the forum to wait for 2 hours until I can play for 10 minutes again. Haha!
  • I get that these events are designed to promote diversity by highlighting characters that aren't used as often.

    However, would it not make sense to assume that since the highlighted characters aren't frequently used, they'll tend to be lower level that other characters in the roster and balance around that.

    With my regular team, I wouldn't mind going against LV 150+ enemies. However, it's difficult to do so with other characters that might not be as strong and/or don't synergize very well. Since out of the designated cast of the Heroic event, I only have Grey Suit (LV 89), Classic Spidey (LV 77), and Classic Storm (LV 68) at decent levels, I basically have to use that team. Everyone else is below level 40.

    I can barely scrap by with Spidey Stun Locks, and I honestly just don't find it fun. I realize that my team is one of the one's with the better chance of winning, but it's just so slow that I don't feel like I'm making significant progress.
  • I don't buy that this event is to highlight infrequently used characters.

    Half the characters in use are 1* prologue characters, Spider-Man, C Storm, BWGS. These are all high use characters. So that rationale was **** from the start.
  • This is brutal.

    I can't get out of one fight without losing like 80% of my cover health if not being totally annihilated, win or lose.

    So win or lose I need to wait like 2 hours to try again. Amazing. Been playing this game for awhile now and it never ceases to amaze me how it is basically set up to make you not play it much. Either with the slooooooww healing or the no need to play an event until the end due to rubber banding nonsense...
  • i reach 5k point already... i slowly grind the mission with just one villain and Hammer troop sub mission using DareDevil(lv20 1/1/1) , Spidey (lv100 5/5/3) and Modern Haweye (lv70 5/5/3)... by using blue/black boost and hammer boost... i spend 10 minutes just to finish 1 games ==!!! currently placing in #2 as some1 else got antonishing wolverine lv85 which unfortunately i sold it away icon_cry.gif
    Or else this would be an easy match if i got wol strike tile to help me stack up my damage and let spidey keep stun lock... but still using modern haweye red skill i able slowly chow down their health slowly...
  • Was only able to get in one match on each node all day yesterday (1600ish pts.)- woke up this morning and I'm still 19th. I'd imagine that eventually scaling will catch up to the players who rocketed up to the top with weak rosters and they'll hit the ceiling hard, while high-level (and pain-loving) 3* grinders will be able to steadily pull ahead.

    I went full throttle for both Hulk events, but I don't see myself pushing much past the 10K DD tier for this one, if that. I'm totally fine with not reaching the 4* Wolvies, but I would like to be able to get 30K for the blue DD so I at least have one of each color. Unless the point values inflate somehow, I can't see myself getting there. Just not motivated to do it. Upside is that my wifey and I did beat Galactus in Lego: Marvel last night! (The way he makes om-nom noises in that game is just ADORABLE!)

    This event is zzzzzzzzzzzz. I'm also trying to tank the Thor tournament. I hope something fun starts soon.
  • Ugh, you misread the countdown tile even though you had plenty of blue for stun lock? Enjoy a team wide rocket to the face. Wonderful.

    with one villain... i just stun lock that villain... then i will keep stack my blue tile in my inventory and store it for the right time... if i can denied the Hammer troop countdown tile then i denied it... Once i know i dun have the neccesary tile to denied it... i will stun lock one of the hammer troop to determine to see whatever he is the one doing the countdown... if not i will stun lock the other 1 while slowly killing the villain (venom, bulleyes, etc)

    And that how i manage get pass the level quite easily... there are also few attempt i retreat as sometimes it is unlucky to get a board fill with 0 blue or 4/5 tile for me to a continuous cascade... so overall i advice if possible grind all the mission with troop and 1 villain only... it quite hard to defeat all 3 villain without sacrifice one of your character or you might get lucky icon_mrgreen.gif
  • I had to take a break from playing this morning. In the middle of a match. the long. slow. match. icon_rolleyes.gif

    I don't want MPQ is be like banging my head on the wall; where it's more enjoyable to not do it.

    It seems like if you don't have Spidey with a well leveled blue skill (which I don't), these levels are impossible.

    Red GSBW skill people have also mentioned for getting rid of tiles (but I only have green).

    So, I'm basically replaying the first two missions over and over to try and hit the heroic tokens.

    Not really very fun.

    I'd like the game to be fun.

    Yeah, with 12 hour spawn 30k would be hard. 10k should be relatively easy but all the rewards will be gone by then so it will be +20 iso all the way icon_e_sad.gif
