Anyone else have all their reward tokens showing up as normal tokens?

2 of mine from the progression rewards turned into Standards, but the ones from the two subs were fine

So do I jump straight into the new subs? Sounds like levels carried over (Demiurge_Will had said they would, so no surprise there really). I guess it's better to make a push now while levels are relatively low.

Edit: Or not? My node 1 Easy is level ~30 and Hard is ~110. I never did nodes more than twice per refresh (never ground to 1pt) so maybe that's a contributing factor?

Was thinking the same, but now I don't know about jumping in or not.

I'm waiting for later. I did clear 2-3 times per fight each 12h. So even if you get levels bumped it will happen only 1 time (depending on how long you are going to wait)

Moral

Took my sick luck with the RNG and bought the ten pack +1 (33 characters and no classic magneto)

2 red c. Mags
1 each c storm
2 red 1 yellow cap
1 red and 1 black hulk
Purple moonstone

4 out of 14 pulls 3* characters, 1 4*
(counting the event pulls)

Something wrong wih your game. All my opponents are low levels. I was top 5 in both of mine, sitting at 25k overall points.

It's personalized again, as well as community scaled. No one seems to know exactly how, but it's Attack of the Puny Rosters all over again while some folk get 230 walls. I had Dino/Hulk/Daredevil at 230 by last clear and didn't even do much last sub, so I'm not sure it can be as simple as how much grinding you've done. All those HP to munch down without letting him get 6 green was not amusing.

Magneto is the featured Team Up char for this round.

Are you locked out of some missions if you don't have him?

Yep, same as always. The guest buff is the same one Loki had, which will presumably persist: my C.Mags is lv18, and the stats it gives him are for over lv100. Covers matter, obviously, depending in part on how much they improve the skills, but you can use them at stupid low level and they'll be alright. Won't see what happens to a leveled guest until they get around to Hulk, but I imagine it curves down pretty sharply, or a lv100+ one would just solo everything.

I have a question: what's the best build for Captain, should I go 5-3-5?

Hivemind approved is 3/5/5, because his yellow's too expensive to use and his red and blue can overwrite more at 5 than at 4 (countdowns and environment, iirc, but haven't used him in a while so might be wrong). Just for the sake of dissent, I'll note I like 5/4/4, because the only time you'll actually use him is for long-**** matches when he's event-buffed, and in those his yellow can matter. It does limit his ability to deal with special tiles, though, so if you want him to be able to do that as well as possible definitely 3/5/5.

Probably best jump on asap if you care about getting the ISO out. Not as if the sub placements vary much or are worth a lot unless you're gasping for HP, so if anything being up against the loons will do you good, because it'll make you try harder and improve your score in your main.

The Mags and the Hulk are great pulls.

Seems like a lot of people are pulling 3*'s at a pretty high rate with these PvE tokens. It could just be selection effect, that all those poor souls who pulled 2*'s didn't chime in, but it seems like a lot of happy people!

Unknown

Got 5 Recruit tokens. 1 loki, the rest 2*

Normal starts at 107
Hard starts at 170

Ugh the grind is going to suck against all high levels

EDIT: Overall points were at 40k when starting round 2

My lvl 125 mag only had about 8.3k hp or so..so its scaled down to around 70-80% or so by that point.

Daken black x2...actually puts him at 5/5 sadly...
Storm blue, useless
Purple Loki, 3/3 now.

Wish a hood yellow was there for me 1/5/3 and level capped. The game is taunting me, it game me a hood blue this morning for a regular token....yay 25 hp I guess.

going to suck as much iso from this hard mode as possible then go to sleep. not going to be able to do it anymore so might at well vacuum it now.

Edit, managed to top 10 that last hard mode i joined with 18 minutes left heh, it was almost a fresh bracket, 8 ppl in it when i completed the first game.

Unknown

Got Top 2 in Easy and Top 5 in Hard, for 5 tokens total. Pulled Moonstone P+R (which I "needed"), a Hulk R (my first non-green Hulk, yay), and 2 2*s I already have maxxed.

One should be coming up on day 120 of Daily Rewards, so there's that at least.

Unknown

Ahhhhhhh....screw it, I think I'm going to play a little bit and get the 5000 ISO before I go to bed, assuming it's even there......I hate myself right now.

Ya I read that yesterday, I see the Green rags coming up though only at day 56...Banked 2750 HP from tournies so far so might buy 1 cover. That or get blacks from the Hood rounds because respec is out soon and just switch to yellows as they come.

Yeah, I'm not. I think it is more just that not so many people jump on to share the excellent news that they just binned another Cap and a pair of Moonstones. I have had a run of green Wolverines, including from standards, which I don't mind as I'm rebuilding him.

Unknown

Decided to race in and grab the ISO as fast as I could. Final mission enemies (hard mode) started at level 76 and have grown about 20 levels in the last 45 minutes

The rewards are down to 1k/easy and 2.5k/hard

Arghhhh, opened a green Hulk and immediately sold it, forgetting about respec coming soon. Hulk is currently 4/4/5, sigh....

You know R48 would have arrived the day after the cover expired right? You did the right thing and saved yourself 7 days of hoping followed by disappointment.

Unknown

Better 2.5k now than nothing later...**** i need to go to sleep, eh ill kill a few more mooks, give me that 500 iso dammit.

My 4 tokens were Storm X 2, Daken, Moonstone.

I think heroic tokens are like 1/6 of being 3* or better?

Unknown

Unknown
