    Great. Now we need someone stu- err, brave enough to try it. I might want to wait for48.1 if this goes as smoothly as last time.

    It's okay I'll go first :p

    Lol. You sir are a martyr. And I am sticking with R47 until R48.1 rolls out.

    Congrats, you found all the secret ISo-8 Brotherhood hideouts days in advance!

    Let's see if Osborn still gets the jump on us...
  • Any words for the Steam version? I am waiting to make my push for the Elite tourney, I want the ISO bonus for non skipping icon_e_smile.gif
  • Hmm. Yea I'm waiting on Steam too. I have a Purple Spidey expiring in 13 hours and I'm currently at 553. Without the nerf info being released I'm not sure what I want to do but I might hedge my bets and change a Blue for a Purple, assuming that Blue will be hit the hardest. That seems to be the most prudent. Or perhaps just selling the cover and figuring it out after the nerf comes. Thoughts?

    I guess we are on No. 5 and 6 now, and the next pair of locations are 7 (Argentina?) and 8 (Sudan?)

    Quick, Agents, send in the strike team right away!

    An awesome thing I don't think was in the patch notes is confirmation for buying packs

    Edit
    All boosts retired except crit one, and you can stack that 5 times for 125% bonus crit dmg

    I would keep blue if you want/need spidey to stun. his blue stun will probably cost 5ap+ but it will probably stun longer or stun the whole team. but if you are into protect tiles then go purple. I use stun to protect myself so i have little need for actual protect tiles.
  • any idea what the new boosts are?

    sweet. what are the new boosts? single colors? or is it still two colors but only 1ap boost? is 5x the max for all boosts?

    So why is it that the +3 to all color boosts has been retired, yet it's still the 100 pt progression award for the Psylocke PVP?

    So I have like 8 all+3 boosts so I guess I should just burn thru them before I update?

  • I guess I will tactfully go have lunch at the place with the blazingly fast wifi for the downloads. Faster than the wireless network, unlimited data but wireless is wireless.

    No idea, I havnt gotten new ones yet. Says 1/9 unlocked
  • - Alliances are now available for S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents to join. The Alliance system is brand new and as of current is fairly basic in scope. S.H.I.E.L.D. technologists, as well as Bruce Banner and Tony Stark are working to expand this functionality as time moves on and the battle against H.A.M.M.E.R. becomes more heated.
    o Agents may create an Alliance for others to join
    o Agents may view the roster of any other Agents in their Alliance
    o An option to search for Alliances is available for Agents to browse currently open Alliances

    So there's no real benefit to being in an alliance right now other than seeing your fellow alliance members roster? Is that correct?

    I have gotten one of the new boosts.

    It is a green/black +10% power boost.

    Stacks like the critical one. I have three so I can stack up to 30% boost to black and green.

    2/9 so 4 Power Boosts. 4 Start with color? 1 Critical?

    If that is true I will miss the cool ones like Dark Avengers Damage and Magia Damage.

    I still have a few of the super 150% damage boost ones from older PVEs. Those may prove useful.
  • Of course they nerf the + 3 blue / pink ap boosts in the middle of the tourney where you are facing 230x3 and it's the only way to have any sort of chance at beating them with getting lucky on stuns. I guess I am done with this tourney then. icon_evil.gificon_evil.gificon_evil.gif

    So I just used the respec method... easy as pie. Was able to take a Blue Classic Mags cover I had in my storage and swap it out for the Red cover to make him 5/3/5. This was easy and worked exactly the way I wanted it to.

    I haven't messed with the buffs yet, but the respec part is exactly what we all wanted. Well done on this devs.

    Also, for everyone mad about the buff changes... seriously guys... they have to load the patch at some point. If they wait until all the events are done, they would have to force all events to be done at the same time, which would mean people would be snarling about the lack of content. They cannot win here.

    I'm really stoked about the respec being so smooth. It should help a lot with future character balance issues and when they add 3rd powers to guys like Rags and Doom. Again, seriously, well done devs on this one, it was smooth and easy.
