Oscorp Heroic Mode

Unknown

4.8K here. Competition in my bracket is actually kind of close in the top 3.

Unknown

Well, I did my one 45+ minute battle today. I don't have the desire to do more than that.

Unknown

This is the first event that I basically quit on. This is beyond sad.

Unknown

My bracket is topped out currently at 3400 in first place. I'm in 6th with 3050.

I don't have my characters leveled enough to hit that 10K so probably just going to keep pace to ensure a DD red cover and pick up all the 500 ISO awards. I can win battles but my damage output is so low it takes me about 8-15 minutes per battle. too long for me.

If only I didn't sell 2* wolv to get patch to hit level 100... QQ

The only person who really matters for this heroic is Spiderman

I am fortunate enough to have a 5 blue spidey - and I have been riding him like a magic carpet the past few weeks. And it is, frankly, just not worth my time on Oscorp to play. I am at 970 right now, almost entirely all done on Friday evening when the most villains were only (only!) L120 ish. (and are all now 230) I am not going to push for the 1000 progression reward - it will cost, prorated, 200ISO and half an hour of my time, just to get 250 ISO?

The whole risk/reward , ROI thing, you know. 5 blue spidey might be the ticket to play - I just don't wanna see the movie that's showing.

Just another thought on the spidey nerf bandwagon...

perhaps keep his power the same cost, but the webtiles are on blue? The more you use the power, the less you can use the power. It will also calm down the healing, as now the choice is - do I fuel ATU but decrease Bandage "strength"? well into the game, the player will have to choose whether to REMOVE (as an example) one or more webtiles, to fuel another ATU shot.

Right now, the Bandage effectiveness scales in direct proportion to ATU effectiveness (actually better if you have 6+ webtiles);

given there is on average 1-3 potential matches of a given colour and any given time - well it's not hard to do a thought experiment to see where this ends up. ATU becomes a strategic choice as opposed to default mode. And there will be choice between squeezing out one more ATU, or having effective healing.

them's my thoughts.

the only high level character I have is my maxed wolverine and maybe MBW who is also maxed, the rest are stuck around level 20~ with only hawkeye having full covers.
with this I can't win most matches unless I get major luck, and I'm stuck on a mission with yelena and 2 spys at level 200/176 (changes from time to time) where I threw my team at them time and time again only to get my team on shot by the spies
stuck with 200~ points and can't do anything

I had 3 blue spiderman at the start of this event, but made sure I got my 4th blue from wolverine tournament which ended a few hours later + spent 1250 HP to get the final one to make 3/5/5 so I could do more than the first few missions. Managed to reach 7.6k so far, aiming for 10k but who knows what will happen when the devs get back on Monday and perhaps change things. My team consists of level 85 Wolverine (2*), level 54 spiderman + one other, usually level 30 Daredevil (2/1/1) mostly for passive damage since he's buffed.

At most - and I don't expect this much - they'll push another nervy patch to make it easier, which shouldn't hurt you. They won't pull it after people have given themselves ulcers making what progress they have. No one has PR instincts that messed up.

Unknown

What they should do is sell this for $5 to have it available permanently, and have the mission rewards reset every 3 days. To hit 50K, you'd have to average 1666 per day, and that'd comfortably take you in top 10 looking at the charts people posted. It gives people an option to very slowly grind their way to a Wolverine 4* cover, and it's also something to do when nothing interesting is up.

I haven't played Osccorp Heroic mode in over 24 hours - and it looks like enemy levels are coming down. incremental, but down nonetheless. Now instead L230 Daken, he is at L229...

the takeaway is: don't play the game, it will eventually get easier to play. But the moment you play, it becomes unplayable.

Oh Loki, what have thou doth wrought?

Am I crazy, or didn't they lower the point thresholds for prog rewards in TaT midway through? I know they dropped the intel goal for sure. I wouldn't be surprised if they left the difficulty they same but dropped the prog thresholds. Their data will tell them that no-one is hitting even the middle ones.

They dropped progression reward goals at least once, possibly twice, during TaT.

So what is the highest score youve seen in this event? Im up to 3k, but with the mission rewards diminishing, i dont think i can bring myself to grind this anymore. Maybe ill farm up to 5k for 50hp, but the enemies are getting pretty tough.

Unknown

I'm at about 6000 now, and - at the rate I'm going - Ill probably top out at about 9000, unless I either decide grinding is fun or abandon it altogether. I'm getting about 500-600 per cycle, and I'm guessing I've got 5 (or maybe 6) cycles left.

Unless something changes, I'll probably start running out of steam on this after 7500, if not sooner. I"m hoping thy lower progression awards, and I'll hit a certain point and stop. At this point, the difference between 1st (which I can't get anyway) and 50th is too slight to be worth the amount of effort it would take. I suspect I could stop playing and finish in the top 25.

Unknown

I'm only perhaps able to get me around 150-200 pts a day trying to do the pve. I think i just hit 400. I gold the hero point prize. I think that's all i care about for now. No use giving myself ulcers trying to do the impossible. Hopefully i wake up early tomorrow and find out they decided to reward everyone all the prizes for being such a **** company for irritating us so much.

Daredevil is just such a meh character though, its probably not even worth it.

Kiamodo

He is meh for now. But keep in mind they are about to ruin Spider-Man.

Tomorrow anything could happen. Event restart, event opened up to all characters, current characters all buffed, actually fixing the event(unlikely) the list is endless.

Lets hope the numbers show the devs how bad the event actually was for us so that they do something.
