    Anyone here enjoys this PVE? Or any of the past new months (maybe Sim excluded)?

    I seriously consider to completely quit PVE play after this ends. It's just a drag of time really providing nothing useful or unavailable elsewhere.

    The problem with PvE is one - rewards. If not for new covers AND new characters, I'd really opt to just do the PvE casually and focus on PvP, especially now, with the Season introduced.

    The new characters are only needed for another PVE. icon_e_smile.gif Outside they are mostly useless. Even the interesting ones. Due to the few imbalanced specimen.

    Will you play HT in PVP? Or the new Hawk? or even the old ones: psylocke, BP? I don't find myself. And after this tournament my LT will get to 10 covers and I have HP to buy the rest -- then it will close the circle even more.

    PVE feels pure grinding for a long time (with mentioned exception for Sim that actually stirred the play a bit).

    Based on the remaining time and the brackets currently underway, here's my prediction for the remaining (all times Central US):

    Alaska3(Active): end Thursday 11pm
    Florida3(Active): end Friday 11am
    Savage3(visible): start Thursday 11pm - end Saturday 11am (36hrs)
    Alaska4: start Friday 11am - end Saturday 11pm (36hrs)
    Florida4: start Saturday 11am - end Sunday 11am (24hrs)
    Savage4: start Saturday 11pm - end Sunday 11pm (24hrs)

    What? A 4th run of all the subs? That would be a killer for sure.

    Ya some of these PVE grinds get tedious. It is getting to the point where even if I had more time I wouldn't want to play them more than I do...and the last thing I want to have happen is overplay and get burned out to where I don't even enjoy the game anymore.

    It does seem like the pre scaling events don't work all that well with scaling tacked onto them. Even the hulk wasn't nearly as fun with massive scaling. Overall I do think the simulator is their best event though. Seeing as it is the most recent full event too here's to hoping that the next main story event is just as good.

    Hey Copps, how are you liking that sweet L141 LT + Hood team? Is it faring well on defense?

    In the Cap tournament it was evident how Cap messes up AI for LT -- yellow is practically not used. I'd expect similar effect with Hood. And with **** yellow LT is worse than Hulk.

    Though attackers not necessarily recognize that -- or may be tempted to kill hood first releasing the floodgate.

    BAH, i would have gone for the first place in Doc if I knew falcons are provided instead of Mags.

    Looking at 4 CMags covers to trash... how cruel really.

    Yeah the hood plus lt team seems to do pretty well for me. I win fairly frequently on defence and I'm sure I get a lot of skips. In a nhb tourney I think I would likely throw in my mags.

    My 2/3/2 CMags makes me wish I could go dumpster diving in your trash! One man's garbage is another man's gold.

    I'm still in the air about how useful Falcon will be since he has no useful offensive skills. Would you rather have him or Hood/OBW/Spidey on the team? Combining two of those guys together might be too slow offensively or a bad idea in pvp (they take out your damage dealer first & you're screwed)

    Yes, that was my point too...

    Falcon will be great probably fighting maggia, maybe mutants -- goons producing blue *if* they pass the threshold. The tile scaling looked great in the first version -- with the nerf I have doubts. After all how many tiles you can keep around and how many yellow matches you expect to pull during a game?

    Now we can't even experiment as you need 4-5 covers to see any results at all.

    The purple is heilstorm of shields -- might be useful to saturate tiles but creates too few for too many AP.

    So at this point Falcon looks not much better than Bagman and may be even worse than Daredevil who at least has potential of huge crotch kicks. Even Loki looks more useful.

    As pure support definitely both spidey and hood looks better, or even OBW having barely less HP.

    I've been tinkering with patch/falcon/loki and it's been ok so far. Patch is my tank plus his regen. and once loki flips pink stikes to defense tiles you take no damage. the key is don't use beserker rage until you have enough ap for loki's trickery

    Agreed about the "hailstorm" effect his shields have. I don't think he'll be useless like Daredevil, but he's better in theory than practice. I think he's a more in a class with Invisible Woman.

    Nah. Too early for pushing hard, so I'm farming ISO. I already retreated to Bowgentle 3 times, so when You showed up in the queue, it was the only logical choice.

    Oops, I misread Falcon's blue thinking the other team must have 8U to work not ours. That looks quite much better icon_e_wink.gif

    Yeah falcon is a good character for pve maybe not so great in pvp. His ability to take out countdowns will come in handy.
