RELAXING GAME?!

    Well, it is relaxing until you step away from the Prologue.

    After that, it's way too competitive to be relaxing at all.

    Love your annotations, by the way icon_e_smile.gif

    More relaxing than Candy Crush at least. Have you *tried* level 76?! I guess it's all relative.

    I gotta say though, having just Captain America left against Devil Dino and Hulk and having only enough AP to use a Loki Illusions Team-Up to hopefully move enough Red or Blue tiles to throw a shield does not do good things for my blood pressure.

    Ah...the Iso-8 node on Deadpool. Yes, I remember it fondly. I decided to beat it just once and not come back - used boosted Cyclops, Cap and Loki. I knew that top 20 wasn't gonna happpen for me and decided that I can still get top 100 easy without re-doing that node a dozen times.

    I kind of liked that node! Dino chewed on me a few more times than I liked, but usually XF/Doom/Hood handled it quite comfortably.

    John McEnroe would disagree.... There's no such thing as relaxing competitiveness! The closest thing that comes to relaxing play is guantlet and Ultron events, but even those have time limits and as you get closer, your stress levels go up if you haven't finished them. If you double the time limits on those events then perhaps I might consider the game relaxing but certain not a cold day in hell right now.

    MPQ should be classified somewhere between crack cocaine and crystal meth.

    And for those rare moments, a hint of Ecstasy.

    Dunno what the complaints are, the game is plenty relaxing after you've played for 500+days, rarely play competitive PvE and can climb to PvP 1000 in an hour.

    In seriousness though, if the game wasn't relaxing I wouldn't have gotten this far in it. There are plenty of other distractions out there.



    P.S Candy Crush lvl 76? Really? Game doesn't get hilarious til you're at least 200+.

    I stopped playing around the third or fourth content expansion. I don't like throwing phones across the room. Now I just borrow a coworker's device to check out new level mechanics whenever they come out. Much easier. icon_e_smile.gif

    MPQ is breaking the algorithm. "People play before bed? Must be relaxing!" Nope, we're just grinding like maniacs. That's why it's listed as something to play "First thing in the morning" as well!

    All this talk about early candy crush levels and I'm just sitting here thinking how bad my life must be for me to want to reach level 600 on that game.

    I had to go back and check where I was at, its been nearly a year since I played CC. 440 is the answer. Now I'll go back to not playing it again.
