I keep wondering what buffs they plan in coming Simulator (and sit on the ISO until it is clear). Last time they had featured villains+hulk changed for each of the 4 cycle. If that stays the same it would be good news as all of them improved a lot on my roster since -- and it would make fighting in DC more meaningful really.

That was the one having Psylocke overbuffed, right? If so chances are actually good to see LT in the same role, and you with the 8-9 covers will have some crazy advantage over even my puny 5-cover not to speak of those who lack it completely.

I thought I updated it with the info that the recruitment is invitation only.

As for editing first post, I will do it on the weekend with all the info You provided about ourselves. Will probably add the pics of first pages of our rosters.

For rosters maybe the roster snapshot thread is a better place, with only a link at our topic -- cutting in the in the intro is a good idea.

I wish I could get myself to level up Lazy Thor some more. His stats are way too good to ignore, it still feels like spending a lot of ISO I'd rather invest somewhere else. Having Normal Thor at 85 doesn't really help, Lazy Thor would just be slightly better once I reach the cover based level cap. I guess I'd be far more interested in leveling up a Lazy OBW, my roster is missing a good level 141 char for purple/blue.

IceX mentioned that LazyCap blue will leave behind a serious shield tile. If other abilities got similar treatment I'll get pretty much hooked to start building him. I never felt much for Thor but Cap is someone I would be all too happy to use and if they finally drop a promising one I go for it.

1. LazyThor - I wanted him just for the complecity sake, as I assume that future event will have some missions that will require him. Better to have him with 1cover and try to do the mission, than don't even have the possibility.

2. LazyCap - I'm still not convinced. I think he will remain mostly useful against goons.

3. Simulator - as it will have some Alliance rewards, are we considering raising our Alliance roster? I think we should wait to check those rewards. If it's top2-50 again, we will easily end in top20 again (at least).

Btw. How does exactly sharing rewards on Facebook works? is it only on mobile?

Not too thrilled about Cap either, he sort of overstayed his welcome during the second Hulk event. Cap chance for those special event tokens must have been close to 100%. Let's wait and see what his complete skill set looks like, his red and yellow need some love too.

for the divine champs. you guys should really be using C storm, spidey, and MN mags. great combos and feeds and i leave every match with max health. pink feeds blue, then storm uses blue to freeze and kill, then clean up yellow for heals. try it . when you use the pinks for MN mags put them with blues already on board to make criticals

I try to pick out the MNMags teams for easy beating and if with storm even more. On defense those are like not existing. (So those who push with them, consider to play last battle with something beefy, max Thor+Ares worked fine last time as deterrent).

I found that ares+punisher works wonderful in this arena (while ares+patchie sucked bigtime). Though bound to healing rounds every 2 games at best. I use CMags or OBW usually as third but more options available really and worth to look what team you go against instead of just blindly using the same on your side.

I stopped around 380 yesterday and expect to get 4-5 attacks to go down by 30-40 that is welcome. The event was mostly abandoned at -1d #1 at 650 and all the rest in top10 at 500. I'll make some go in the -6h range and probably will fight the end in real time. Unless appear with some substantial lead at #2 to shield up for 75 and take rest instead. The 3 dooms would be welcome but I can perfectly live with 1 or 2 in the meantime so take some lazy route.

But I suggest everyone with low doom to consider a go, last simulators he worked quite wonders in his chapter 2 for me despite just 2/1 at the time IIRC.

I recall stumbling on MarvelMan and sending some points his way too.

If someone has HP to spare it's definitely welcome to add slots ASAP. But I wouldn't suggest to force it let alone use real money. I jut noticed that I look at 400 HP already with just 4 days after the dip, if it keeps coming this rate I'm good for another slot 2 weeks ahead.

I really hope they keep the prize tiers like last time, no smaller than top50, what we will take just going the natural route.

Last time I saw 2 people waiting in approve queue, what do we know about them? Could not really match the names on the forum. If we not considering them probably the fair way is to dismiss the request so they can join elsewhere instead of hanging.

I had some good success with Old Thor + Punisher + Spidey, got to 500 without much issues. Even scored three big points defensive wins afterwards, makes me curious what the attackers got hit with. I avoid using MN Magneto in PvP, he's so bad on defense it's basically asking to get attacked.

Unknown

Defensive wins this early are more likely retreats.

At low points I do it aplenty: when **** matches accumulate on nodes (maybe just losing points from my climb) I skip to sensible ones and retreat on one node that is up or at least even. Just single-digit points lost along with improved MMR and then I play the 35+ point games with the +30 victory bonus on each. quite economic in both time and ISO terms.

Unlikely in this case, each was worth 20 - 30 points, with me located above 500. Might have been Punisher, his skills don't look that dangerous at first glance, learned the hard way not to underestimate him myself. Wish we had a replay, I'd love to see how some of those attacker got beaten up.

That is really something. What team you run? I expect the buffed Ares shell out some good damage. 300/green, 3000 for 10Y and extra, no jokes. Thor is easier to keep at bay and I'd say losing to the rest must be serious player mistake.

As I said recently I also run Punisher and so enjoy Onslought+Retribution on Thor last standing, and the first figure loses enough health just from tile damage before taking their dose of molotov, or equal treatment form the 3rd guy. (I try to keep Sunder for emergency only except granded to OBW right after storm downed if that is the team.)

So 500+ filled with reckless people, good to know

Well, seem allied PVP is up and prizes go not the wise way, there is a t20 and t25. Fortunately just at 50HP and some small ISO difference not cover.

I suggest not sweat about it hard, just go natural again, if t10 works out, great, if only t25 no problem either. And cover, that is IMO the only interesting prize goes waaay down.

This is not PVP where we have more control. But another likely broken PVE event with the crazy arbitrary scaling, rubberband-exploits tied to timing and whatever. Plus a thing taking rosters for a ride in many ways. Some of us may get completely hosed in some areas. I suggest no one shall feel bad if happens to fell behind in point grind.

Guess everyone will tell experience on what works where without asking

And yeah, as kinda expected Doom is boss right in the first sub what for me means going to push for 3 covers, I suggest everyone to consider.
The other bosses are psylocke (yey) LT (not much surprise really) and BP (will do, think I have 8 covers, while we get there might be tempted to add those 30+ levels)

The good news is the bosses looked frequent in the event tokens, I recall getting one of my early Mags cover from highly trained, and I can use any of those except black doom)

Unknown

Captain 3* looks like along the same lines as Psylocke (i.e. actually balanced) which means he's not very good as long as there are still the totally imbalanced characters out there. His skillset seems pretty solid, but unless his red leaves behind a massive strike tile (which is actually quite possible), I don't see how his skillset will allow him to be competitive against the more broken characters.

Unknown

Looks like they did they same thing with the Cap'n as Lazy Thor. Same powers, just the 3* scaling and max.

Unknown

IUC alliances are bracketed for sub prizes. I wonder how.... First member entering?

Unknown

Is everyone gonna be in to make the push so we can make top scores for the extra blue cover and ISO?

Unknown

Currently sitting on 2200 points and #22 in my bracket. Gonna grind it out a while more, even though Lazy Cap'n doesn't look all that appealing, I just want to see how far up the carts our alliance can go.
