    Why are the graphics in heroic venom so fuzzy?
    Wow, the event has already turned you to the bottle, eh? Normally it takes the middle of a heroic mode event to get me to drink that much. Slow down, Pandaberry, there's still 7 days to go.

    Nahhhh... I can handle my *hiccup* liquor. Don'tyouworryaboutme.
    I can see it now. By the end of the weekend, you're going to be locking threads left and right, moving everything to the Suggestions forum, and talking with the weirdos down at The Raft trying to sell them fitted Intergalactic Space Fleet.

    So you see the cool kids at The Raft too?! Because I thought I was the only one...
  • Yeah that second node with Venom, Lieutenant and Grenadier is fun...

    I presume they meant the enemy team's ability to stunlock and heal. And finally kill the team dead.

    I cant wait to use my ironman35.....oh no i sold him to make room for HT
    Ah but i can use Hawkeye.....Damn i don't have him either as he's poop
    But i could use my Bagman.....Hahahahahaha
    That's ok ill just use m.storm.....Oh she's only 20 hmmmm maybe not then
    Psylocke perhaps?.......nope haven't had a chance to level her up yet
    Black panther it is......Nope,same as psylocke
    Human Torch then?..... I hope you are buffed to the heaven's
    Wolvie.....Yay found 1 i can use.Sorted

    number 1 here i come

    Sounds like me during the last heroic event (Juggs?). The one where they gave out Thor covers. My highest usable hero was level 40ish, and I was facing level 200+ mobs off the bat. I couldn't do anything.

    Eventually the node levels died down, and my saving grace was actually modern hawkeye, who ended up being my only hero that could do any real damage...I got him to the 60ish range.

    I was only able to do half the nodes. And only a single pass each, and that somehow landed me in the top 50 so I could get a single green Thor cover. Both rounds.

    The silver lining is my MMR bottomed out after that and all my subsequent events have been a lot easier.
    Same, At least for juggie I had IM40. This, all I have is BP and psyduck with an average of 2 covers of each colors, and a level 6 wolvie I haven't gotten around to leveling back up (Still don't regret selling it, that was a good chuck of HP).

    I have 50k ISO, which should I spend it on?

    Lieutenant generates purple which Venom uses to stun the whole team for a turn. Lieutenant also drops 2 turn yellow tiles that heal. And the grenadier just blows people up.

    I managed to get Psylocke's blue off on that board and she netted me 9 purple AP. Where's a Bag-Man when you need him?

    Right, so if you did well in the last PvE, and have none of your best characters available to you in this PvE, you're screwed. Hopefully with the changes IceIX mentioned to decrease enemy levels, you'll only be screwed for a little while, but we'll see if it actually works.
    We also reduced your PVE Rating before this started to account for that. It's possible that if you pushed yourself so incredibly high before the reduction that you'll *still* be way high with the restricted character set, but that's going to be a very very small portion of the player base.

    My first deadly node is level 261. I barely used anyone but the boosted heroes last event until the final clear when I used Spider-Man a bit, rarely healing however, mostly for stunlock.

    Kind of ridiculous that I don't get to attempt the Hard Mode at the same as everyone else given that the characters most responsible for my PVE rating aren't even allowed to be used.
  • I am still waiting for the first 400 lvl enemies post. I saw tom had 300s already. Insane.
  • I wish that they had Spidey with a bag on his head for the dialogue. They could have even added a few comments from Fury regarding it.

    "Spidey why do you have that bag on your head... this isn't pvp!!!"
  • Level 400 Daken / Bullseye / Juggs should be fun.

  • Not diggin that they stuck us with a bunch of characters that don't compliment H. Torch at all.

    Actually either anything or nothing can complement my single green HT cover. He's a non-entity. Which makes this whole thing awesome.
  • Noob question here, apologies in advance. I've read about the rubberbanding and scaling but I'm even more confused. What is the optimal approach? Finish each mission once, wait 12 h, repeat or finish every mission until melting the mission completion reward to 1, then move on to next mission, do the same, complete all mission this way, THEN wait 12 h and get at it again?
    Thanks!

    yeah i use my IM 35 and Storm M which is ok because when thorch gets stunned by venom thats when i use storms green lightening. her red and black work really well also since my torch is only flame jet from the last pve. Can't get him updated at the moment

    That's the S.H.I.E.L.D handicap. Like the Pro tees n golf.

    Half of SHIELD is looking at level 50-70s to start their first Hard Mode node.

    Half of SHIELD is gaming the system to lower their MMR. You'll just have to do the same
  • Tanking doesn't work, otherwise I'd be happy to tank down from a level 261 Venom.
  • so does heroic pvp look at your level mode? I hope so, getting nodes helps me level up my storm and black widow since iron man is stuck at level 20 right now
