DPD lifestyle change

Tony_Foot

Once you have finished the 3 star transition DP daily is a chore. It's not fun, you don't bother experimenting, you just want it over with for that 3* cover and iso. It's a 20 minute or so waste of time that I usually have my son do if he's about. Wouldn't it be better to open up the Big E from the start and if you complete it you get the rewards from lower down automatically. If you can get through the Big E the rest is auto pilot anyway. I really don't see the point in lower ones for 3* and above rosters.

Lower ones require you keep roster slots for multiple 2 stars as well as at least one 1 star. So that fills up roster slots and costs money. Additionally, spending more time in the game apparently increases player engagement. Think sunk cost fallacy (people less likely to quit a game they put so much time into even if they could find cheaper and more entertaining games elsewhere).

It does get pretty rote but it's more like 5 minutes with a good champed 2* team and Juggernaut for the 1*.

Still, I would like to see a bit more variety and have to put in a little more thought. Maybe an alternate option that lets you do a Combined Arms node of 1*, 2*, 3* in place of the first three levels, giving all the ISO, points, and the token.

I've been in that rut of just finish it as fast as possible, but I also go stretches where I do try new things. lately I've used the following combos in BE:
charlies angels
oml/fist/cmags
4cyke/kk/3storm
GR/px/falcap
fist/cmags/3cage
ice/SL/nova
oml/nova/4pun

also, cycling the 2* farm means I try different teams as some are planted but not sprouted yet. I usually go back and forth between magstorm with either thor, hawk, or ares and if they aren't available, axw/obw/daken. I've used torch before too but really not much desire to try moonstone, marvel, bullseye or cap.

its as fun as you make it. when you're not having fun in the game, yes, its a chore. that will pass. if it doesn't you need to find a new game.

The 2* farm has made it more interesting for me as well. Instead of blast through with the same team everyone I find myself varying things and having a bit of fun. And I've used Moonstone for about the first time ever.

I'll mix it up depending on where I'm at with my 2* farm. Sometimes it's fun to try jank like Captain Marvel + Hawkeye, although my go-to seems to always be Storm/Ares/Magneto for the 2* nodes and Luke Cage/Magneto/Bullseye for the final one.

Finally accomplished this just 2 days ago...

I propose the craziest wave node in the world to reduce time:

A wave that starts you off with
Juggs vs whatever for 500 ISO. The next node goes straight to
Magneto, Ares, Captain Marvel vs whatever for 1000 ISO. The next node goes straight to
OBW, Ares, Captain Marvel vs whatever for a Taco Token. The next node goes straight to
Required 3*, Deadpool, Beast vs whatever for a Taco Token. The next node goes straight to
Cap, IM40, KK vs whatever for the 3* cover. And then the rewards will POUR IN on one screen.

And you're done with DDQ! Hooray!

I use different teams each time for variety. I like getting the covers, tokens and iso.

TBE is great for team experimentation. I use it to test-run 5* teams after I pull a new purple cover (and to fool around with all-5* teams), to build a strategy around the 3* of the day, etc. Cover farming makes the 2* fights more interesting than when I only had 5 characters to choose from if nothing else.

Can't disagree with point of view!

The 2*/1* nodes are pretty tedious because without new chars to play with, everyone pretty much knows what to do.

But the 3* and wave node is actually pretty fun because you can experiment with your new 3*/4*/5* to see how they actually work in a match.

plus the daily quest is one a few places that you can amass DP whale points without risking a retaliation from bigger rosters, or slowing down a pve match.

One thing they should consider adding is a random 4* node, so that we can test out teams against a more realistic pvp match.

Plus, I still don't understand why they make the nodes 1x only. even if replays gave no rewards, it would be incredibly useful to replay a node to test out a different combination.

I Sold my Two Star Champs recently and ended up Championing Different 2's
so I'm still having fun with them
I breeze through the Big Enchilada with Cyclops,KK and X-23 (although Iron Fist is likely more practical, X-23 is my favorite and the main reason I started playing)
i don't even have a 1 star on my roster so i only get the 2000 iso on the still rare occasions i can do crash of the titans

I actually lost yesterday with my go to team of patch, daken and loki. Wasn't paying attention and allowed a trap countdown to finish. It killed my patch instantly therefore ending the match.

Yeah with my 2 champ farm, i have to switch up the 2stars all the time. Always short on iso and selling any max champs I get. I should stop champing 2* character if I am in need of iso.

Some days it’s a chore, some days it’s not. It’s a perfect place to play with your non-boosted characters that week, and the required character node is a good spot to play around with 5* characters that you’re a year away from covering.

But even ignoring the charm of team experimentation, it’s still a reliable iso boost and an easy 50 xp (at least) each day. Always appreciated when trying to keep a cover from dying in the queue.

It's my favorite thing about MPQ!

Everyone should have a 1* IM so that you can get the full 2000 bonus every day! It's worth the 1000 HP for the roster slot.

DDQ became my bathroom break nodes

wymtime

As someone who wakes up at 5:00 in the morning DPDQ is perfect for me in the bathroom. I don't have to worry about scaling in PVE or making PVP shield hop. It lets me play get some ISO watch an add while my cofffee is brewing. Is it stale sure, but just remember when the devs try new things like pesonal scaling on bosses in boss rush, new goons with way to much health, sentries ding massive match damage. I get concerned every time they adjust something saying it will be more "fun"
Beware what you wish for.

Juggernaut is much faster for the 1 star node.

I've use the same team of cyclops, obw, and 2 wolverine for TBE since I started beating it.

I always pick Switch and Deadpool for the required node.

The 2 star waves vary now that I'm farming 2s, but my preferred team is Thor/magneto/storm/hawkeye

I prefer daken, wolverine and thor. This is because I am normally pretty mindless when i play so don't have even worry about damage. Just have daken or wolverine take the hits.

Walking the dog and DPD take the same amount of time, how fortuitous!

Sidlon

TBE is definitely a good place to try out new teams.

Current favorite is Chulk/xDP/XFW

Other's I've enjoyed:
Hulk/Cap3/Spidey
Patch/Daken/Loki
Charlie's Angels
