True, but it might force a player to rethink team composition and come up with something a bit different, maybe realize the potential of some lesser used characters?

I haven't put much thought into it yet, but I can imagine the design team might have had such an idea

I'm officially putting more effort into the pve than the pvp. Will probably just run up to somewhere relatively safe in the pvp and throw up a 24 tomorrow evening. I want 4 covers for Shulkie, and I don't want her to be another "she'll be usable in three months" thing like HT has been; there aren't that many F4 people in the game and I want all of them. Now.

Sorry bears. I am entering my "no new character" mode. I will not play PVE to win. I will play to earn ISO. Once I have grinded out each reward I will move on to the sim. Of course, I got top 50 last PVE with minimal effort so its possible I will be there again. But not intentionally I swear.

Should be OK, since we have a handful of PVE hardcores that'll get us the alliance cover award. Just no zero points. That's what gets you the stare.

One way or another, you are going to get, at the very least, one cover. If I have to grind to 2 x everybody on the server's score to compensate, so help me, you WILL get the She Hulk cover and you ARE going to like it.

Stare on!

Lurk lurk lurking. I found this lurking in the [Just] alliance.

Just be sure that you want to be a part of a community, with all the bonuses and responsibilities it entails. That means trying for the sake of the group even when it doesn't necessarily suit you, and it means being willing to communicate, whether its giving advice, discussing your progress, or simply chatting.

Thumbs up to that. There are dozens of alliances where you can come in, do your work, pick up the top100 rewards and go back to doing your thing. But how much fun is in that???

Tomorrow is a holiday here so I guess I'll grind the Heroic? (I can't believe I just said that).

Well, I'm officially psychic, I will be grinding this PVE into the ground for my delicious She-Hulk covers...

See our mystery man created an account last night. Hopefully works out. Didn't notice that the rewards coming up were GSBW. Guess that means 1500ISO for me. Tinykitty those tinykitty people who win covers but don't need tinykitty them.
Time to strategy share... (sorry can't let it go.)

Earning max ISO in PVP
Gain 900 points, earning ISO and rewards (go for 1000 for even better results)
Switch to tank team of free character/lvl 6 any/level6 any
Lose all points to attacks
Fight 100 sub 50 lvl teams until you get back to acceptable score
Shield

I remember my strategy was to get as high as I could in one night, then put in CStorm/MNMags/loaner 3*. My team should be more appealing to hit than say a L200/6/6 team, since L200s are scary and most people are comfortable/familiar with CStorm/MNMags. I got more or less fair fights so it wasn't like a super extreme tank job.

Time to put on your PvE pants again. She-Hulk is the reward for the current Heroic: Juggernaut even.

She's got some interesting abilities, most notably a heal! I'm very happy to see another healer option.

Too bad green is her heal, most used color in the game.

Pretty sure that's intentional. It makes it more interesting having support skills compete with attack skills so you actually have to make choices instead of default to making green your offensive colour. The proposed healing nerf would make it a lot worse but if I were to guess, they feel that they NEED to make a healing nerf before they release She-Hulk

She looks like a really cool character. Probably one of those "Really cool I wanna play it, but I think I'll level up one of the broken characters first"

Hey everybody, just dropping in to say I'm uninstalling this game. It just feels like Demiurge is an abusive SO at this point and the game is too much of a chore to be fun anymore. Even if the healing change might turn out not to be as bad as people expect, at this point I just don't care.

Thanks for having me, sorry for making you go through yet another recruitment.
Stare!

PS: uninstalled and forgot to leave the alliance. Feel free to kick me when convenient

Don't you worry about recruitment... I'm saddened by the abuse. The planned meta change took the wind out of a lot of us. We have survived a lot of nerfs before, but this one is a tough one.

Thank you sup123. You represented the first wave of our new season 2 and you help pick up this team when it was bear low. Stare on bud!

I've actually found since Spidey's nerf and not using him nearly as much that I am doing fine without having that top-off heal at the end of every battle. I need to use a health pack every few fights but they regen fast and I haven't really run into any issues. I don't really see the heal nerf changing the way I play much at all at this point.

- sup123 best of luck. You helped us when we needed it and we appreciated it.

- adamLmpq, I never used spidey until last week. I actually liked him in that I could used the defense tiles, stun ares when I saw he got 5 greens, and then every once in a while heal. Only time will tell what will come of the healing.

- All - I can't event find the time to clear out all the PVE nodes. Scaling is really tough for me with only IM40/HT/GSBW/Thor as my only useable characters. That being said I was 99th in my bracket with all but one node cleared.

- All again- if you haven't seen my PVP scores I should be in the low 300s or worse again this morning. I have confirmed that retreating with a tank team causes said tank team to replace your previous win team (i.e. becomes your new defense team). I plan on getting back up to 700 tonight, suicide again and then back to up 800 in the morning. Maximizing my profit.

- franckynight if you're lurking, it was sweet satisfaction to beat your 212HT, 141 Sentry, 141 Hood with my 99 Hulk/96 Patch/83 HT. We should do it again sometime.

Quite the achiever... since you gave us a heads up, we figured you were going a bit lighter on PVE which should be OK. Figure you were gonna carry the rest of us grind/slackers for the HT event. No classic Storm?

If possible, I tank in the SIM, so it won't bounce me around so bad in PVP nor inject too many points into the event.

Hey sup123,

really sorry that you stopped having fun with the game. That's really too bad. We'll miss having you around!

Take care of yourself, friend.

I level sensibly; it's other people who level weird.

I apparently have pink eye. I'm on antibiotic drops as of a few minutes ago, but I won't be able to play much this week. I'll try to get in one game a day for the next few days but I'm effectively blind without my contacts .

Have fun!
