    Yup same here ... 6 matches all weekend ... I normally do that in under an hour, for many many hours icon_lol.gif I actually got some work done!

    I gave Dead Island a whirl since it's free for Xbox lol. Normally I toss on Netflix and watch something while I play some MPQ. But man is that not an exciting proposition right now.

    I'm glad I have 3 IW yellow covers: I'm probably grinding to 650 and not shielding for the BW green covers. My MMR should be low enough that I don't get attacked with a 120 hulk on defense.

    Yeah I only have 2 IW covers right now so it's worth the 100 HP to guarantee my green BW and yellow IW covers.

    I accidentally did an all goons battle with GSBW, Daredevil, and Spiderman, and it took literally forever. Sniper Rifle really needs to hit all targets at level 1 (and a low damage and 19g cost). I think I went through 3 Sniper Rifles in that game and it only did like 3600 damage to one guy for 48g.

    Did I miss an announcement that there's going to be an impending change? It wouldn't really matter even if they changed things now because there isn't enough time to do anything useful if you're not already invested in this tournament unless every mission is worth 10 times the point tomorrow.

    No announcements, just speculation based on what happened with TaT mid-way through.

    Even if they cut 50K reward down to 10K on Monday, that'd still be well out of reach for the vast majority of players.

    Obviously the devs didn't want the upper tiers of rewards to be obtained. Why else would they put 3 4*s up there?

    I don't really understand how people miss Hulk's really good green power. I love the Hulk, even if I hate his red.

    My current team is Hulk/Punisher/Buffed character, so all the green goes into punisher. Hulk really feels like dead weight on offense, but his defensive capabilities (not many people want to attack a level 120 hulk) more than make up for it. He's singlehandedly saved me a ton of hp during these tournaments since I don't have to shield with him on my team.
    I have a level 83 Hulk on my team in the Thor tournament, and I've been seeing a small number of attacks. My Thor isn't even maxed out, though he's level 76. Admittedly, Hulk doesn't do much with a mega-buffed Thor, but I can match black to set up Anger and once in a while I use his green to finish a match before building up to Thor's AP. I usually pair Thor with GSBW, but she's been more redundant with a buffed new Thor.

    Yeah, when I had my hulk at around 90ish, I was still seeing attacks, but after reaching 100+, i didn't experience a single attack last tourney. I'm probably going to put up a shield this tourney towards the end though since I want that green widow cover, but I highly doubt anyone is going to attack a 600 point 85 thor / 120 hulk / 105 punisher.

    Dunno about that. I just got smoked for 70 points in the last 5 minutes.

    I'm also in mid-MMR land where I'm being matched up against teams like 70 thor / 35 widow / 50 storm, which probably helps with that too.

    Hah, yeah, that'll do it.

    I can't see how to make DD more useful than a meat shield. Sometimes the opponent springs the traps. I like the concept and I can see how he could be useful. I just don't see him being more useful with the options he has for teammates.

    Damn Bugpop, that's lots of grinding.

    The best mission I can reliably grind out is for 160 per. That's just too little to be bothered with.

    This is my score after I managed to get all the 500 iso rewards. I still have a few 100 iso and cover token rewards to get. I don't see any more than 200 points per fight. 160 too little?

    I believe this event was a gift to those of us that wanted to watch the Super Bowl this weekend. Speaking of which, for any of you that watched it, we should all sympathize with the Denver Broncos, that game was a pretty good reflection of this event, us as the Broncos, the Maggia as the Seahawks.

    I struggled to go through once and then went back to try for whatever missions didn't give me the 500 Iso reward. Top player is around 7500 in my bracket. I'm 8th with 3042. It's not worth the grind to push much farther, there's no enemies below level 219, twenty minutes per match using three boosts for a 50% chance at 20 Iso. I've actually become borderline physically ill at the frustration this tournament has caused. I wouldn't mind the grind if the rewards were worthwhile but they're not. Halfway through and the mission max reward is 200 points, most are between 70 to 90.

    I must've gotten lucky, because I have all my 500 ISO rewards and am sitting at about 3200 points. The leader is at 6000. For me to catch him that would mean about 20 battles at 7 minutes per battle. In that time (about 2 1/2 hours), I would earn two progression rewards: 50 HP and 500 ISO and a bunch of 20 ISO's.

    Just can't find the motivation for that.

    I've been grinding like Bugpop. I'm at 7108. The guy behind me is at 5523 with his lvl 28 Wolvie and lvl 24 IM35 (he does have a lvl 23 Spidey, but without blue). I got one 200 mission on Friday and haven't seen anything over 160 since. With the resets, I get one 160 mission and then about 3-4 120 missions and a 100 mission. I've only been doing those, because it's tinykitty to fight 230 level Maggia for 20 minutes and get so few points for it, especially when I need to use boosts to stay competitive.

    I'll use boosts when they come, but for the most part I haven't been using any.

    For me, the start of the fight is all about getting blues and purples. Without them, I usually wouldn't be able to avoid the first countdown strike and, at lvl 230, those will often decimate my team. I could probably avoid boosts if I just retreated when the board wasn't giving me enough blues and purposes and then went to some random prologue mission to heal up using Spidey's yellow power, but that just would take even more time to grind.

    Besides the usual Spiderman stunlock it's really helpful to have a second character that can dig you out of a hard to reach countdown tile. GSBW and Storm both work, but GWBS is likely more reliable. But if you got Spiderman and GSBW your damage is going to suffer unless you've level 5 Sniper Rifle, especially for the missions with Daredevil is a required character.

    After doing the missions some more I think the devs just forgot that level 230 guys are normally fought about level 200 equivalent characters after character boosts.
