Any chance of having some sort of Gauntlet mode?

Where you'd get bonus ISO for winning matches back to back without healing (neither packs or team heal abilities) or skipping.

To offset no heals, you could keep 1/2 of the AP you ended a fight with or something

It'd be kind of cool to have to take on waves of goons

Likely if they do this it'll cost hp to enter with a mediocre prize as they would need time to code the ui etc to change it. Rather they use the time to get newer episodes out, rather then doing stuff on top of existing content.

I was thinking PvE nodes, not a tournament.

A lot of people have requested the gauntlet mode before. Don't get me wrong. It's a great idea and hasn't been brought up for a while. I've thought about it a little bit and here's how I think it could work.

We go a little off the typical starting times to mix it up a little bit.
Start time 6pm EST Friday.
Tourney length 2 days 12 hours.

I like your idea of ap to make up for lack if health packs. A simpler way to implement it, you automatically start with a +3 to all every match. Free. No other boosts allowed.

No healing is allowed.In game or out. Not even regen over time. Period. For this reason it can be the only event running at the time.

There is no rubber banding.

Points escalate each win. 100,200,300,400 etc etc etc for each sub up to a possible 2000 points per match.
The event would consist of 5 subs lasting 12 hours each.
The point escalation would continue for an entire sub. If you won 25 matches in the 1st sub your total would be 31,000 points.
At the start of the next sub your 1st match is worth 100 points again and all your covers are full health.
Any combination of characters can be used. IE 1/2/3* be can be a team. That way if they are only 1's left you can continue.


After 60 hours points are totalled and you know how it goes from there.

There are too many gameplay issues at the moment for this to work correctly.

First, Spidey and OBW would have to be banned to prevent healing. How would they lock them off outside of an event to prevent Prologue healing? Pretty sure there isn't code to hard lock down a character for given period of time globally.

Next, what about the spamable infinite turn combos? Would you ban desert and jungle environments for the event? Even then, what about the CStorm + MNMags combo that works in any environment?

What about CMags and his spammable 2 AP Red and near costless blue? Would he be banned as well?

As you keep going down the list for characters that would be banned for balancing purposes for the event, isn't what you end up pretty much the same as a Heroic Mode?

This sounds awful.

It would be a controversial event for sure due to having to cut off other events. What do you think other solutions would be to make it a plausible idea with the way things are currently ran?

Edit: I guess you could make it an option. Run this at same time as another tourney. No Pve at the time. And you can choose which 1 to enter.

Ok after a bit more brainstorming idea #2

This would be a form of elite tourney but sort of Pve style.
When you enter you have a roster with every single cover. All maxed on all abilities. Variations, 3/5/5 vs 4/5/4 vs 5/3/5 / whatever, are random. This roster ,obviously, is separate from your usual roster. The scoring could work like regular Pve and it could be set up as so or it could have a points per match system like in idea #1 or a set points per match or whatever with like an old school mortal kombat ladder system. Would have to be a pretty big ladder for pro players though, probably 100 match variations per sub event. Still 60 hours. Health still resets every 12 hours.


Basically, you pay 300hp. You get entry to a no healing hauntlet tourney where you get to try out maxed versions if every character while winning at least 2 heroic tokens and 500iso reguardless of placement.

RED DAREDEVIL NEEDS FOOD BADLY.

....oh, is that not what you mean by Gauntlet mode?

Unknown

i'd like to see new formats too. just fun things, no competition. like practice rounds i guess.
or you pick your team and then go against a clone of the exact team, see how how the UI plays with the same characters, or a random generator. you go in wtih your team and it just randomly picks 3 characters from the entire pool of heros, villians and goons at the appropriate level and you just duke it out.

I would love to see some way to play this game with out a connection. I play on a tablet and I bring it to work with me. Most of the time I don't have a connection where im working while I sit In my work van at lunch time. I wish there was a practice mode or even a progressive shield training mode even it was just for grinding iso. Hell, I would even take 20 point iso prizes after each match.
