    But wouldn't Lead Blinis be sort of akin to those super whales DP is always hurling about?

    im sick of symbiotes.
    I don't care about the tiles, or the damage. it is what it is (d3 at its finest, but that's another topic), but watching 3-5 powers go off every single turn is exhausting.

    wooo im going to win im going to win the final nod

    WTH

    carnage does a move that gives 2 5 match combos in a row that allows vemon to do a move that set up another match 5 that allow carnage to do another move that kills 3 people with more then 9000 hp each

    not ONCE BUT TWICE


    so glad i had my LT token before the final stage

    While the latter is annoying, the way they force you into a one-dimensional mode of use more dps also adds to their annoyance for me, it is not like other goons where you can use particular characters or try to keep matching away countdowns, if you don't kill them fast enough they can overrun your team with their spam.

    I have a mid-level OML and a Red Hulk with 5 green and purple, so the main line of nodes hasn't been a problem this time around. The biggest issue I had was on the xfw essential node, until I settled decided to stop trying to force in my highest level heroes and brought in cMags and Loki. Once the three of them get rolling, the board turns over very quickly and you wind up with a ton of AP.

    The Terrible Teamwork (final non-essential) node is the **** devil. Lvl 360 OML/Iceman/IM40?

    Nope, Dead. Twice.

    Red Hulk/SW? DEAD.


    Taking ANY suggestions. This is absurdly broken.

    Don't know what your roster looks like but I've been running XFW+Switch+IF.

    is this the Venom/Carnage/Horror node? I don't recall what levels they were for me.

    but this team worked twice for me, even though they were severely underlevelled: 2*mags, Switch, 3* spidey, with the goal of generating as much blue as possible. obv switch purple feeds mags, which creates blue for spiderman to stun. mags also creates red, which is a decent enough nuke. and making purple matches creates shields. they don't do much to protect against abilities, but they do help mitigate match damage.

    I appreciate the replies, but mine are at lvl 325. I'm in a 4-5* transition with every single 3* and up character in the game except for Green Goblin.

    Despite that, every single future node with Carnage and 4* Venom together is an auto-skip for me even if the prize is a cure for cancer.

    You heard me.

    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?



    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.

    And how do you propose to organize that on a massive scale when only a small % of players read the forums, the Facebook "posts by others feed" or the @marvelpuzzle Twitter mentions? Telepathy?

    The best way of communicating frustration IS here preferably with concrete examples of why you're frustrated; that being said the more complaints they see from multiple people, are going to get their attention. The more specific the critiques the more helpful those complaints are; but that doesn't mean there is no value in emotional posts.

    Thank you for voicing this complaint!

    I've been meaning to say something myself about this; there has to be a more efficient way for them to uh deploy(?) their attacks.

    I don't know if empirically this is true but I feel like many of these matches take longer than the long EoTS nodes because of this many many powers at once mechanic. It's absolutely irritating and totally grating if you have the sound on.

    This combined with the Carnage feeders (ha more like the Carnage buffet) makes this event not fun, but it's "work" just to complete it let alone try and get the token (which I don't even try for anymore with this event).

    Yay, I reached the Legend Token reward and get a yellow Invisible Woman which I already have 5 of and not able to or planning to champion her anytime soon so I end up getting 1000 iso as my reward for this PVE.

    As much of a health pack chew this has been, progression was super easy so that makes it balanced I guess.

    Also, I really enjoy saying "Carrier has arrived" every time I pull one up to the front row.

    Was having no trouble with Switch JG XF, had 1st place the whole time. Now Switch is broken with extra turn on CD and I've dropped to third. ****!

    Good game turns sour fast. Really enjoy playing this game. I have 95k in this event but wow what a frustrating event! PPLLEAASSEE fix this sh!T. I'm usually not a complainer but this is just not fun at all. How can we even start next event when our roster is completely wiped out, oh yah you want our money, F.U, I'm keeping it for myself until this game is actually fun.
