Force quitting problem on Galactus

I'd bet a Stark Salary that force close is how those 2 alliances beat HB Ultron. There's no way all 40 of them beat every match in R7/8 without a single failure.

And they were not only applauded by Demiurge, they received additional rewards

Being in one of those two alliances, I can confirm we did not use force quitting. Just because your alliance couldn't do it doesn't mean mine couldn't.

My alliance has a bigger Ap bar then yours.

That's the past guys. All of your top alliances are all hulkbustered out now.

If you're afraid to post something on the forum lest the devs shut it down, then you probably shouldn't be doing it in the first place. To say that posting a strategy in the forums forces them to shut it down doesn't make sense - less than 1% of the population reads the forums.[endquote="XandorXerxes"]


Then why in the 24 hours before the event went live where there changes to the event info that could not have been tested give the time and directly address strategies discussed on the forums?

Ap cost of cosmic death drops from 30 ap to 28 ap - counters discussion of pornlord tactic
Ap generation of cosmic tiles become rainbow rather than just black - largely counters she hulk strategy or psylocke strategy

To say people shouldn't use the games forums to discuss strategies on a game they enjoy playing is moronic - **** are they for is not for the community to discuss the game.

In closing down legitimate playing tactics they've created conditions where only a tactic that will be incredibly hard for them to counter without having major impact in other places where people have legitimate crashes is left.

They've created conditions evolutionary in nature where they block of the legitimate and want would have been enjoyable strategies to make the event challenging but beatable to create an abomination that should be binned Asap, a customer base somewhere between uproar and downloading anything else to get away from this tosh and broken the trust of their forum goers who now feel anything we say here will be used to make the game 1000 times harder on the off chance we win not buy our way to a character cover.

Yes, D3's actions in that regard abused the trust of the player base. It is a mistreatment that will be hard to recover from.

But that doesn't mean they shouldn't be called on it when they release gameplay so broken that the best means of success many have found is to force quit. Especially so if they look at player success metrics without that context.

Some here are probably right. Those employing that tactic will likely be rewarded for making it so far. I don't have the 4*s that are necessary to make the best use of it.

Hopefully--and experience suggests this is placing far more trust in D3 than they deserve--exposing the exploit will lead to better gameplay for everyone. That is a good goal, and one I share.

But if that particular tactic is what it takes for me to win, it's not worth winning.

Question is, can you do it without forcequitting now? Given that you and your alliance clearly are above us all (and I mean that sincerely), and that you managed to, with commitment and hard work, top Ultron 2 - can you do this without this particular exploit?

I think I know the answer to my question...

I beat 4/6 round 8 Galactus fights without force quitting. 1 of the other battles, I had him down to ~3k health so I didn't feel like doing it and the last one I quit twice. Hulk, PX, GSBW, and a truckload of luck

It still works, you just have to quit before making any moves. Essentially you have to decide if you ate going to play after looking at the make up of the initial board.

It's like no one ever learns.

The developers are there to sell you stuff.

Your enjoyment is only important insofar as it gets you to buy stuff.

Don't talk strategy/tactics on the open forums for an ongoing or upcoming event. . . ever.

Use chat apps or PMs if you really want to share the info.

You did forget to mention that with hulkfinite round 8 is easier than round 7. 5 of 6 with out force quit for me in round 8 so far.

Definitely easier with the higher damage. I was using the traditional winfinite in rounds 6 & 7 and was still clearing 4/6 without force quits. But when one force quit happened, 2-3 followed shortly thereafter

This is why this event is broken. No other event puts a cap on the maximum number of points you can earn except for this one. And to make it worse - you only get one attempt at each fight to earn the points for it. I'm in a pretty strong alliance (well into round 7 currently) and I think all but 6 of us are locked out from the final progression. I can get it, but I did the math and I think I can only lose like 4 of my remaining 24 battles. If I had known this would be the mechanic I would have put a lot more effort into some of my battles in the earlier rounds.

Please stop sharing anything here and do it on LINE only. The devs only see data the way they want to see it. It's like half empty cup vs half full cup
