Didnt affect me at all besides checking my status. Top 50 pve. First was locked in pvp as soon as we hit the 1 hour left mark especially when the server issues hit.

Got another doom from my tokens... Last 4 three star covers I opened over the last 2 weeks have been 3 dooms and a black torch.

Server outage basically kept me from doing much in the Punisher tournament. I didn't need any covers from that tourney, so I was planning on doing a heavy push in the last hour to get the progression rewards.

It caused some issues for me...I am quite certain that one more match in Army of One would have put me in the top 10...just wanted the extra HP and ISO.

It hurt me in the Savage Land though. I had just completed a mission for 1000+ points, which I doubt I received.

I'm not upset by the outage, more annoyed than anything as this has occurred before. I find it hard to believe that the devs didn't learn from past outages. Apparently I was wrong....what's the definition of insanity again?

Moral

I probably could have taken 1st if I had pushed as the winner was under 900, but was happy getting GSBW to 5-3-4. As it stood I placed top 5 without a match in the final 10 hours.

Top 50 in the Amazon.

Skipped the first 12 hours of Alaska and will likely do the same for Florida.

Now we'll really see who has rotten luck when we see what brackets we get for Season 1. At 5000 per bracket there are bound to be a number of "Brackets of Death"

I'm still alive! Too many things running at the same time with these little more than a day time limits, no time to chat! Lol

Hope the game's treating everyone well, despite scaling and the stupid RNG when we're redeeming tokens!

I had work early so I had already raised shields before the night was out. First top 10 finish in months...still **** cards from the recruit tokens though

Katai

bleh, I don't like the seasons. It basically makes me try hard on tournaments where I don't actually want any of the rewards. It feels silly to throw away 3* covers like tissues.

We normally top 30-40 minimum when people don't try that hard, top 10 when people do. So that should translate to top 50 minimum in the season.

I play for the hp anyways even when covers are useless. Or play for the 4* if the bracket is soft.

Just business as usual.

I felt a little bad in the Punisher tournament - not really because I already had a fully covered GSBW, but because I didn't use any shields. After I got up to 900 last night for the HP, I thought I'd be knocked back down over night, but I wasn't. I never slipped out of the top five. (For future reference, it appears people will skip a boosted max Punisher, Hood, and OBW team.) It drives me nuts when I see other people do that when I'm fighting for ranking and I was the one guilty of it this time.

I actually targeted those teams, seems like the forum people actually made a pact to put those teams in all night. Couldn't lose to them with a +3 blue boost max Pun/Cmag/Hood team, actual impossible.

mags1587

For all that people talked about it, I didn't see more than one or two teams with Hood. I mostly saw Punisher, OBW, and Thor (either 2* or 3*). Saw more than a few Hulks, too, usually paired with Spidey.

Looking for some advice on my roster: right now, I've got 3/5/4 for Magneto Now (we can't all have cMags right away). I've got a red cover to bring him up to 3/5/5. It's just that at level 5 red, it'll take 14 red instead of 11 to activate. Should I sell the cover and hold out for a blue cover or bite the bullet and max him out until I can get a blue cover to reconfig? Max level is 77 without the last cover.

I have my Magneto Now with a 4-5-4 build. When I use him I always get poor tile placement with the red and blue abilities. I'm also not a fan of the AP increase for each of those abilities with the 5th cover. That's my two pennies.

Pretty sure I have mine at 3/4/5 missing one purple. I believe that 3/5/5 is the optimal build. I forget exactly but I think red generates ap so that's why it increases in cost. Blue just booms, no ap gain.

I have mine at 3/5/5. Problem with blue is that it gets more expensive with each cover, and while it increases the size of the "boom," I believe the countdown also increases as you level the covers. The red at 5 does significant damage when it goes off, but you do need level 5 to bring the countdown to one.

Alucard_I_Am

Yeah 3/5/5 is the way to go. Blue takes longer to go off at higher levels so there is more time for the enemy to destroy it before it goes off plus I usually pair him with CStorm and I perfer to use her blue than Mags any day of the week. Red hits hard and goes off after just 1 turn at 5.

Scrubbyp

Thanks everyone for the input! I do pair him with cStorm and also OBW...purple feeds into ModMags and ModMags feeds into cStorm...just wished they had more health

In Widow tournament, I didn't get attacked a single time overnight with a 102 GSBW/Punisher/Lazycap team. I think after tanking the LRs my MMR is too low for anyone with a 3* roster to see me?

Just had to share some fun happenings in MPQ today:

First, I broke 1000 for the first time in a pvp. Personal victory.

I swept a team today in the shield simulator...all level 100's and they never got a single turn. Mega cascade downed Hood, then I just locked the team down. Another personal victory as I can't ever recall that happening.

I'm closing in on top 100 for the PVE even though I'm not a huge fan of what the Falcon brings to the table...but he may be needed down the road if Spidey gets beaten to death with the nerf bat.

Lastly, GSBW pvp will give me 12/13 covers for Lazy Thor. I wasn't too thrilled with the lazy characters joining the fray, but Lazy Thor and Steve are both solid. Steve saved my **** a few times this morning.

Happy Friday and have a good weekend everyone!

You guys catch the upcoming changeto OBW?

- Black Widow (Original) is known for her nefarious tactics in combat. One of her most diabolical tricks has been nullified; When on an enemy team, she will no longer fire Espionage unless she is the most powerful color strength in a tile match.

Thinking about it, it doesn't really seem like a nerf, though... Reads to me like it's nerfing a "cheat tactic" for the AI... Lol
