  • Gambled on a 1x Hot Shot pack and pulled a red HT. Might try to go to 1100 in Hot Shot and get another, since there doesn't seem to be much interest in the tournament.

    People are focused on LR and soon the Venom Heroic will start. So +1 to ChopsB.

    i may try to get torch covers with the 10 pack, depending on what the other covers are..
    You might be better off directly raising cover levels with hp instead of trying your luck in the cover lottery.
  • i know, but i'm still pumped from the last one where i got 5 mr rogers covers. in my gamblers mind i can do it again. icon_lol.gif but i still haven't decided. i have to see some of the ins and outs of the event and the rewards

    I made it to 500 without getting hit. Still had a seed team in there, so I tossed in my tank. Dropped 250 points overnight. Played the LR right now, after seed teams I saw a 80ish hulk, 45 OBW and 23 HT. Aw, yea. (not really, it may have gone too low)

    Guess I may have slightly fixed that in the current LR. Was working my way up, just passed 200 and had left a seed team. Wasnt thinking and went through them with my main team...doh. There is always the next!

    Well, I'm having little to no motivation for this Venom Heroic. My 3*'s for this are severely underleveled as are my 1's and 2's icon_e_sad.gif In addition are already have a 3/5/5 Captain America (Steve Rogers) I'll play the nodes and do what I can but I probably not going to stress if I don't place high.

    Anyone else seeing that the alliance chat was cleared?
  • There's not much point to worry about scaling on this event because you're going to be dying a lot on Deadly bracket anyway which will bring your scaling back inline. You certainly do not have to be worrying about winning too many games without having a massive wipeout.

    I aplogize in advance for my terrible run in the venom heroic, other than Wolverine I have no one maxed out in this event

    As long as we place top 100 and I get my 5th green Ragnarok cover, mines 4/4 so just hoping to finish him off, one less LR I will need to do icon_e_smile.gif

    No worries, we're all feeling the roster pinch. I barely have Psy and BP covers let alone leveled. I had A.Wolv at lvl 70 and thankfully had some iso to get him maxed. The even better news is that with scaling (probably due to my wipes) Ive managed to clear one run through Easy and half way through Hard.

    These Heroics are definitely challenging, but also not as fun as they could be. I would have loved to see either IM allowed, plus maybe MN.Mag. Doesnt seem like those are game breaking changes and would definitely add more variety. Current roster seems semi cash grab since Im not even aware of a good story reason for that cross section.

    i'm kind of in the same boat. i drained my iso trying to level HT,psy and BP. the devs just went too far to the extreme at least i'm not in desperate need for SR cap covers so not finishing high wont devestate me. I'll do what i can for the alliance
  • So more Cap covers for Bad is Good . . . might have Cap fully leveled by the end of this round if all goes well.

    Regarding the alliance, I don't think we should feel any pressure to maintain our winning streak. I'll do what I can for the cause, but this PvE is brutal and worse, boring. It is also very situational regarding rosters. Only top place has the big reward, next break is 2-50 so if we land in there I think we're all good.

    Even Moonstone would have been nice.

    agreed, I think this is one of those farm the ISO, but don't stress about it. With 20 people in our Alliance will finish decently anyways. I'm assuming Daken is going to be the next PvE so we'll just need to be ready for that one. And after all the playing with HT, I can say while he is decent and I love his red, I'm not a huge fan. My order right now for ISOing is

    Patch, L.Thor, L.Cap, Psylocke or BP (haven't decided), Hulk, Although I might get my C. Mags up to 100 I don't know, he's killing at lvl 90 so I don't feel any pressure.

    I read that as: "Tank this PVE as hard as you wont be screwed by scaling in the next."

    Wasnt my plan, but its probably what will happen. =)
  • Guys, absolutely no stress! We are dedicated and will place well no matter what. Take into consideration that pasa is AFK for a week, so we won't win another PvE, but honestly - any place which guarantees 3* cover is good for us.
  • It seems to me the baseline difficulty for Deadly is just that... deadly, so tanking wouldn't help much there.

    Try to open up the paths to at least all the Human Torch required missions. They're worth good points and are probably the easiest overall.

    My team so far is Black Panther + Modern Storm + someone who can use green (HT or Wolverine). I use HT more because he regens way quicker (his boosted HP is a % of his base HP so him regenerating 1 HP on his base HP is like having 5 HP after boosted). Modern Storm does most of the work and Black Panther finishes people off with Rage. Battleplan combos well with Mistress, and Defense Grid buys you time to collect your tiles. If you don't have Black Panther well covered, you're going to have a rough time in this tournament. You take a ton of damage and you really need BP's HPs + Defense Grid to just stay alive.
