So after all the recent changes (nerfs/MMR/ridiculous release schedule) I needed something to get me interested in anything other than DDQ. My scaling is too high for PVE and my new and improved MMR pits me only against 270s which I don't want to fight mainly because of the time it takes. So I came up with some personal goals one of which I accomplished today.

Goal 1: finish an entire dead pool daily without using a single power. This one I accomplished for the first time today after attempting it the previous 25+ days. Big enchilada was by far the hardest. Team accomplished with was 166 xforce, 166 modern Thor, 94 OBW.

Goal 2: not to play an entire season in PVP (ongoing)

Goal 3: accrue enough ISO and HP from DDQ and limited PVE playing to get sandboxed so that I can report the sandbox threshold. Currently I have 567980 ISO and 11400 HP.

Any other goals that I should have or weird ones that you have for yourself?

    My goal is to beat every single goon level without taking damage. I've never been able to do it against those tinykitty mother tinnykitty, tinnykitty eating piece of tinnykitty teisatsus. Don't like those guys much.
  • I sold all my 1 star characters MONTHS ago way before DDQ started. I just kept Iron Man for the occasional PVP event that requires 1 character from each level.

    Having done that means I only have 1 character to play during that one level of DDQ. So I basically have to beat it with just 1 character! So, an unofficial goal/challenge is to beat that with just the one character and not using any boosts.

    It's not much of a challenge as I've never lost. But still it's quite fun.

    If you can stun them before you take them down, they don't create attack tiles. icon_mrgreen.gif

    As to the OP, I have an OCD like obsession with my roster levels. My 3*s and 4*s HAVE to be either maxed at 166 or 270 (we won't get into what those silly numbers do to my OCD...) level 125 (3*) or 200 (4*) for the "B" team, and level 100 for all others. Yes, it's silly, and a waste of resources for characters like Bagnarok and Ock, but what can you do? icon_e_wink.gif

    And when I took Beast to lvl 125 for his PvP, guess what? He's kinda good! icon_e_surprised.gif

    I've been playing it with only Juggs for a long time now.

    Actually just 6 will do. Get 6 and drop the non-goon character. The goons will drop to match damage and Juggs greenflag.png

    6 red is game over. Once he one shots the board moving character, the rest is trivial.

    Just to clarify, I know that 6 is really the game over. i was joking that it took 18.

    that would seem easier with a falcon/cage/blade or IF team. obw might work with blade/falcon too to use her black passive.

    That must be difficult. How do hit the touch screen with any accuracy? icon_e_biggrin.gif

    This might seem weird, but a little mini game I like to play is this:

    In the Big Enchilada in DDQ or Goon nodes, I use Steve Rogers.
    My goal is draw a small picture, like a smiley face, Xmen symbol or Avengers A symbol, with his blue/yellow protect tiles on board. The hard part is not letting the enemy move/break them, or winning the 4th wave before I finish.

    It looks something like this:.....
    (used TU tiles in place of all other colors)....

    tutile.pngtutile.pngtutile.pngtutile.pngtutile.pngtutile.png
    tutile.pngbluetile.pngtutile.pngtutile.pngbluetile.pngtutile.png

    tutile.pngtutile.pngtutile.pngtutile.pngtutile.pngtutile.png

    I know it's kind of silly, but it adds an extra challenge to the DDQ. I also do it on high level Goon nodes. I use any node that has Goons with high enough health to have enough time. And they don't move my tiles. icon_lol.gif I've done it several times now with different little pictures. The one I'm working on now, but haven't done yet, is I'm trying to draw a picture of the Punisher skull in the center of the board.

    Thanks a lot. I just realized that OBW was using a passive power espionage, now I have to do the entire thing again with someone new. That just ruined me day.

    The magic number for me was 1,960,000 Iso. You have a long ways to go.

    New goal:

    Collect as many health packs as I can. Currently I am sitting at 24. Reminds me of the days when I was new and didn't know they regenerated so I had 34 of them at one point.
