    Symbiotes appears to be the only event where I can lose with the loaner team.

    I started swearing a lot after my umpteenth time staring at a board full of blue and purple attack/protect/strike tiles while at 10 green and 10 black AP.

    My response to this node in particular was to add XFDP to my team, his black hits for about double the aoe portion of scythes in return. icon_twisted.gif

    I just want to point out as I do every time this event happens.
    • It could be a refreshing fun change,
    • The goons and the storyline are creative;

      However,
    • The baseline difficulty is unacceptable,
    • The way the feeders work is obnoxious,
    • Mutation, Horror, and Demolisher are absurdly over-powered.

    This makes this event completely not fun.

    This. I have tried different combinations of boosted teams, my A-team, my B-team, everything I could think of. I can't beat them. Games are supposed to be fun, and I'm not having fun. Quite the opposite. I am thinking it's time for a break.

    It's frustrating because I have worked hard for 2 years to get a great roster- I have all the 2* and 3* characters championed. The only character I am missing is Green Goblin. The level of difficulty has risen so high that the only characters I can use are the boosted ones, making 97% of my roster useless. Woohoo, so much fun.

    I hadn't thought of Super Whales, and I have tons of Whale Points, so I guess I'll go do that. Thanks for the suggestion vinnygecko.

    Had to depend on my safe combo of Hood, 3* Cap and SW, even if they are facing 300+ enemies. Never got a scythe off for the first two fights.

    That's hilariously lucky. I just tried that out. They busted out scythe after ONE turn. This game is just not fun for me anymore.

    who from production must i beat up to remove this s**t? This is basically the biggest slap to the face for every user that is trying to transition from 2 to 3 or 3 to 4. Unless the RNG of all RNGs is on your side, you're fu**ed!

    carnage deployed his red on the second turn, ****!? in 5 turns i go scythed twice.

    is this their idea of fun? how in the f**k is this considered "normal"? and for a measly 100 ISO as a reward?

    do they expect everybody on the server to have dropped $20k for dem 5 stars by now so as to deal with them via match dmg?

    Here's an idea... If you don't like the event just skip it. Punisher will be up in PvP soon enough. Or, you know, just keep playing it and complaining.

    Posts like this are like a garbage can that's too small: overflowing with **** and yet still somehow worthless.

    May I ask how developers are supposed to get feedback about things people don't like without people complaining? Telepathy perhaps?

    Thank you! I gave XFDP a try, with XFW and Hood, and I made it out alive with no scythes icon_e_smile.gif Countdown to What + Surgical Strike = Bye, Carnage icon_e_biggrin.gif

    May I ask how many different threads in different places we need complaining about the event? And its not like people are complaining and then not playing... they keep going. If people are willing to play regardless of their complaints, what motivation is there to change?

    This even isn't for me, but at least its different and a new PvE event. So I'm skipping it. No biggie. The number of people upset because its too hard and they have to play, or that its over Easter and they have to play and sneak away from families... right.

    I think a massive number of people not playing is perhaps the best way to give feedback. Imagine if there was an event that everyone just refused to play because it was so bad? That would get attention. Won't happen due to the prisoners dilemma, but hey, I can dream.

    maybe that is what someoen in my ladder is doing.. or spending tons of cash or something. They put up 25,000 pts up in this final stage within 2 hours of the start. sorry but there is no way they did not run out of health packs and could clear everything to 1s

    who is XFDP (guessing 4 star dead) XF guessing x force...

    already locked top 10 in just fighting for top 2 now what i dont even know if worth t he hassle for a 3rd black (already got one from a token)

    With a good Rulk clearing nodes becomes trivial here. I maxed him just now, and he cut an hour of my regular clearing time. Quite nice!
    Not very effective against Carnage though, so that's when you bring in the X-force twins.

    Well, at least they lowered the points needed for the progression rewards. I got the final reward right at the end of the 2nd sub (which is great considering I blew all my health packs on the final node of the last sub and STILL couldn't beat it).

    I play every PVE event, and make the token_legendary.png each time. This event is the one exception. It's simply not fun.

    You should try to get the token. Progression points to get the token is very low, and I'm pretty sure you can still get it even if you skip the last node altogether.

    Yeah just realized it was pretty low. I need 3k points and have till slice 4 closes, so I shouldn't have any issues getting it. Still not fun though icon_evil.gif .

    I hate Liberty Island. Worst. Sub. Ever.

    Even the anagrams suck. Try Lead Blinis? Try Labile Dins? What? That's rubbish advice.
