    I think you can see the natural reorganization already happening. Even the strongest alliances are crumbling and so the last few 'hardcores' are reorganizing into stronger alliances. The fact that we are placing well with lower and lower scores is evidence of the overall game decline. I am less hopeful. While I believe it takes time to do something well, it really feels like the devs are asleep at the wheel at this point.

    Yeah I think that was the signal for me to start tanking when I entered SHIELD and far as the eye could see was 141s. I'm gonna try at the start of events, and also the next set of LRs. Tank-a-palooza.

    That's exactly what I was seeing... I had to tank for a while to get back down to 1* & 2*s (like possibly 50+ matches) but it did work. I'm starting to creep back into high-2* & 3* matches now, so I may be due up another bout of tanking soon. It seemed to work with newly-rejuvenated characters as well though, which helps (as losing a team of characters with 50-60HP is super quick *lol*)... icon_e_smile.gif

    Yeah I have a couple of 1*s that I am going to leave on level 1 just for that reason. They regen super fast to TANK-ALL-THE-141s.

    Limee, we've gone through our fair share of turnover already. We've a decent core of about 10ish that chat and play, but I can easily see an exodus at the end of Season 2. It won't be a full scale collapse, but it will certainly be a sign of things to come. PLEASE devs, throw us a bone.

    Some turnover I can take and I expect as much. You know I don't mind a but of recruiting. If we lose too much of the core then I would have to consider if I wanted to continue. You guys(gals?) are a big part of why I continue to play as much as I do.

    At least 1 gal here.icon_e_smile.gif

    And yeah I imagine a lot of us might switch to casual or no play at all without our alliance. No chat and no 3* cover wins leaves little incentive to keep playing.

    I completely agree. Without the chat and you guys (and gal(s) icon_e_smile.gif) being generally awesome, I would probably mostly quit playing entirely. I'm too competitive, but it's a huge grind to try to stay near the top all the time. I would maybe fight for some covers to level someone I really like every now and then, but mostly just not do much at all. I'd have to keep the game still though since my daughter has to get her match-3 fix with spiderman/thor/storm (her favorites, although lately she likes using moonstone cause she likes that 'stone' is in her name).

    I'm really hoping the devs do SOMETHING to show they are going to take this game in a better direction. As noob said, it's like 1 good for every 5 bad lately, and worst of all the game itself has gotten to be pretty boring. It was always repetitive but I've only really found myself getting bored of it recently, not a very good sign I'd say. Sure would be nice if they communicated a little better so we might know what they have in mind to change things up.

    I figured we probably had at least one female, but you never want to assume anything so good to have it confirmed Telis.

    I don't think this game would have much of a hope without the Marvel name, which is a licence to print money at the moment. If they had got things right I would have happily chipped in some money every so often, but with every change trying to force me to pay and making the game less fun it just makes me more resistant. I do wonder, like Mohio, how possible it would be to play it super casual, just doing one run through of each PVE mission and maybe a PVP tournament every week or so if it was a character that interested me. I might try that as a last resort I guess. We are under a week from the end of season 2 (and I want that Fury cover so keep grinding everyone icon_e_biggrin.gif ) so it will be interesting to see what is next.

    Anyone tried the Marvel Alliance tactics game?

    Nope, hadn't heard of it even, but maybe I'll check it out. Also thanks for pointing out the season 2 ending - hadn't even started SHIELD simulator yet, so I should probably get on that soon. I think the last time I actually looked was like a week ago so I figured I had tons of time. It goes by fast though.

    edit: clearly I lied when I said I was going to bed an hour ago icon_razz.gif. Definitely going now. gotta get up in like 3 hours. Tomorrow (i.e. today) should be fun!

    At this point, I just don't know. IceX finally reappears and blesses up with an update that breaks scaling. Most of the other things are fixes to existing issues. About the only new 'feature' is the timer, though I do welcome skip tax removal on retaliations. This is after a ~10 day hiatus where they have said absolutely nothing. And poof it looks like he is gone again. How does this company actually work? icon_lol.gif

    We are on the cusp for S2 so hopefully we can maintain it with a little bit of a push. But after that, for me, I think all bets are off unless we see *something* out of the devs that indicates that they are acknowledging issues.

    UGH, and it's hitting me right where I live... my PVP nodes appear to still be tank-balanced, as I'm facing 2*-low 3* teams (so I'm doing fairly well there) but my PVE nodes? The ones I enjoy playing? Almost all of them are at 100+, typically 150-184... so now I'm fighting a team of 184 opponents for like 215 points. I agree with you guys, there may come a post-Season 2 reassessment...

    That is still one of the funniest things I've seen. And it wasn't scripted or anything. From the news!

    I really wish they would fix the android issue with Swift keyboard, because the chat has been pretty much unusable for me over the past few months. I have to switch to the default keyboard.

    It is especially hard to do after a few drams of scotch.

    That was an absolute morale breaker. No yellow patch, and given a green patch when maxed. Sigh.

    We finished 35th in Magnetic Mayhem which is our best season 2 finish so far.

    We also had a very strong finish to Thick as Thieves finishing somewhere in the 50s. There are just 2 PVPs left in Season 2 so it would be good if we could finish strongly again and get that 2nd Nick Fury cover.

    I think I'm gonna try to push for a little more these next 2 tourneys just to make sure we don't have to sweat it out at the end. I haven't done nearly as well this season as last, so I feel like I need to make it up just a little. Not that the extra 200 or so should make much of a difference, but you never know, scores are pretty tightly packed in right now.

    I have time tomorrow and I need LT covers so I am hoping for a good score in cage match. I will do a late one if needs be on Sunday for the final PVP & Shield simulator. I don't think we will, but it would be crazy to miss out on Fury after all that effort.

    Have you tried Marvel Alliance Tactics yet Mohio? I need a yay/nay from someone I trust. icon_e_smile.gif
