ENOUGH WITH THE GAMMA SYPHON TEAM UP ON EVERY BLOODY NODE!

sorry, not really worth it's own thread. and i know people are tired of complaining, but holy smokes, this is getting out of hand.

it's a cheap, dirty move and they need to chill on it a little.

I also noted how common it seems. A very annoying TU!

I agree, seems especially prepared for Thor and Kamala week

Have they gone back to villains only getting villain teamups? I get flashbacks to the early days of teamups... "You have to face Ares, Juggernaut and Daken... with a Sentry teamup..."
(Mind you, this was back when Sentry was truly scary).

We had this conversation in our alliance chat last night lol.

Here is a trick, even if you have only 1 cover on Rulk, if you see gamma siphon.. put him on your team.. it will remove the team up, hit back, change it out,.. and siphon is usually gone.

Wait what? We can force the team-up to change if we don't like it? Awesome!

Yeah, IIRC it was the team-up in two nodes of one of the Hulk subs. We get it, it's a cheapo way to troll most AoE users, but maybe don't make it into the Juggernaut of teamups.

The team-up I'm fearing is Ghost Rider's black. Not looking forward to seeing it.

I'm not that worried. You know the AI will make a few quick TU matches and hit you for something like 482. The AI isn't smart enough to wait and use it properly.

I've seen it a lot, but it doesn't bother me too much, since typically it happens quite early in the match and I don't usually use green that often. I can see why they used it this time with KK & Thor boosted.

The one that irritated me this time around was the Doom Summon Demons TU that is on the node with the Commander who uses Tactical Deployment that drops a green Strike tile in the corners, then AI drops Summons Demons, and then pummels you while you're trying desperately to down the overscaled Moonstone who keeps spamming Gravity Warp and getting uncanny cascades. Grrrr

Speaking of TU's, I used Reality Crush yesterday against Thor, with him being the only opponent not downed at the time I used it... and it didn't stun him. Really irked me. Went to bugs section and someone there had the same thing happen.

Does that really work for you? I've had the AI use teamups for characters on my team frequently (control-shifting what my Moonstone just stole, embiggens bashing my Kamala, etc). I assumed it was a "feature" of AI teamups, but if it's a bug I'll submit a ticket...

CrookedKnight

In PvE you shouldn't see any characters on your team as a team-up for the enemy side. It's a free-for-all in PvP.

Vinmarc43

I was just saying the same thing about this team up, I think D3 enjoys bashing their customers with annoying things like this...and where is MY FRIGGIN OFF BUTTON FOR THESE FRIGGIN STUPID TEAM UPS, wish I could us a team up on the people who though about this non sense DING DONG IDEA...please shut these servers DOWN, PLEEEEEEEEAAAASE !!!

Ah, the heady days when the AI had 3 team-ups, all Supernova. Or maybe that was just a nightmare I had.

Ruinate

It's obvious that they pick TU's that counter what you're likely to bring and that's okay although slightly annoying. I have a terrible habit of not looking at enemy TU. This leads to AI catching me off guard with a perfectly timed counter and it feels pretty bad When it's Gamma Siphon or Kingpin's drain, it hurts me right in the heart.

Was discussing this with an alliance mate yesterday and very nearly started a new post of my own. And I've seen them not only in the PVE, but PVP too, I had figured that somewhere it had been decided Gamma Syphon was the best team-up to have, so everyone was running it... but in PVP the defence doesn't get to pick its team-up, so no idea what's going on.

There are a lot of them around though.

I tried this today, and every time I back up and replace Rulk, Gamma Siphon comes back. This was in PVE, though. I don't know if it's the same in PVP.

Also tried the replace with Rulk trick, but the TU changed back to Siphon after I removed him from my lineup.

was trying out a new team on a node just farting around. my beast/bullseye/psylocke were very overmatched. got a cascade. I was working my way through all their ap, building up green and I hadn't paid attn. and this hit. I just retreated and threw a better team at it. was frustrating because I was needing speed and shouldn't have been experimenting - on the very edge of maybe getting to the LT (but I started Monday, so understandable).

You guys all made the cardinal sin of discussing an AI nullifying tactic on these boards so that the devs could sneakily change it. Did you learn nothing from Galactus Hungers?

They need to fix the bug with Gamora's skullcracker TU. Using it with one enemy left doesn't stun them, but when she uses it herself it does. Just got bit by this.
