  • Hey fellow alliance members.

    I am going to a summer house this week from monday to friday to write on a group project to end the second semester of my bachelor's.

    After that I have two weeks left to finish the rapport.

    I will not be able to play as much as usually, probably only once a day, and thus not collecting as many points. Just wanted to let you know.

    After the deadline I will be back to my usual playing.
  • Hello Guys!

    I would like to join an active Alliance - I play daily (but sometimes just 1 match for the daily prize), I have a roster with 22 chars, 4 of them maxd 2*. I hope that I can join and together fight for the new covers icon_e_smile.gif

    Just logged in to see new PVE event where we play as Dark Avengers, not impressed with new character. Sentry character looks too much like a pretty boy. Also, every one of his skills damages your team! The devs really want you to burn health packs...or just use OBW like me icon_e_smile.gif
  • Hey, wonder if you guys are still recruiting. I'm an active player unless i'm busy with my daily life. Most of the tournaments, I can get up to top 25. I have 3 or 4 3* cover and most of the 2* covers. my IGN is CXiong
  • Hello Guys

    I'm looking for an alliance where I can lvl up my 3* and help other alliance members lvl up there 3*. I have read your post and I think that your alliance is just what I'm looking for.

    I play every day and finish at high rank in events. In events that I focus on I finish in top 25 (i.e. Fatal attraction - 946 points), in other events usually I'm at least in the top 100.

    I currently have +8000 points in season 1 and aiming for +9000 points.

    I usually favor events which last longer then 2 days.

    My rooster consists of 24 characters:
    Black Widow (Original) - lvl 85 - 4/5/4
    Thor (Marvel NOW!) - lvl 85 - 4/5/4
    Wolverine (Astonishing X-Men) - lvl 85 - 5/4/4
    Storm (Classic) - lvl 69 - 5/3/3
    The Punisher (Dark Reign) - lvl 53 - 2/1/3
    Storm (Modern) - lvl 50 - 4/4/5
    The Hulk (Indestructible) - lvl 41 - 3/0/1
    Thor (Modern) - lvl 41 - 2/2/1
    Wolverine (X-force) - lvl 34 - 1/0/1
    Captain America (Modern) - lvl 30 - 5/4/4
    Black Widow (Grey Suit) - lvl 28 - 2/0/1
    Doctor Doom (Classic) - lvl 28 - 1/2
    Psylocke (Classic) - lvl 28 - 2/1/0
    Falcon (Mighty Avengers) - lvl 25 - 0/2/0
    Ragnarok (Dark Avengers Thor) - lvl 18 - 1/1
    Daredevil (Classic) - lvl 15 - 3/0/2
    Black Panther (Man Without Fear) - lvl 15 - 0/0/1
    Captain America (Steve Rogers) - lvl 15 - 1/0/0
    Human Torch (Classic) - lvl 15 - 0/0/1
    Iron Man (Model 40) - lvl 15 - 0/0/1
    Spider-Man (Classic) - lvl 15 - 0/1/0
    Wolverine (Patch) - lvl 15 - 0/1/0
    Ares (Dark Avengers) - lvl 8 - 4/0/5
    Magneto (Marvel NOW!) - lvl 6 - 5/1/1

    My major focus is to lvl my 3* so I (and my alliance) can do better in the versus events, but when I get the covers I will also lvl up Ares and Storm.

    Send me a PM if you would like to recruit me or require further information icon_e_biggrin.gif

    To anyone that wishes to join alliance, your best bet is to apply in-game. This allows our Commanders to view your rosters and accept you quickly. We currently have one spot open. Feel free to PM me as well if you have any questions. Thanks!
  • LOL I said in the first post for people not to join without posting their case for membership here first. A great impression we're making. icon_razz.gif But whatever, you're the boss. icon_e_smile.gif
  • I there! My game name is Dragonsgrief, I am looking for an active alliance. My rooster isnt the best (3 days now playing non stop) but i promise i will be a valuable asset. I am playing on mobile now, I was on a top 20 alliance on steam but i cant play on it at work icon_e_smile.gif
    Will you accept me?
  • Just sent a request. I have a shity roster, but in a couple of days I will grow and be more valuable.

    Lol my bad Gas. This is what we get with multiple commanders, all in different time zones icon_e_wink.gif

    Everyone else seems pretty laid back when it comes to recruiting so I asked people to apply in-game because it is easier to see their roster that way. If you or another Commander come across a new recruit you can approve them, you don't need my permission. I just want to ensure we have a full roster before this event ends.
  • First post updated to announce recruitment.

    a little bump up to let everyone know.. WE'RE STILL RECRUITING! preferred active player with a formidable roster.. don't worry, we're all struggling here icon_razz.gif
  • Well guys it's been a fun ride, but this is where I get off. I'm not spending several dollars a day on healing packs to have even a chance at staying competitive. I'll go ahead and resign from the alliance if you guys want, but I would ask that you let me back in if they change their minds about this true healing "feature". In the meantime I've changed my review on the app store to 1 star and will probably uninstall the game. I suggest you all do the same, but I won't hold it against you if you don't.
  • The changes certainly suck and it's a bummer to hear you might be leaving, but I can definitely see where you are coming from. I'll hang on for a bit to see how this turns out. Such a shame that it came down to this. The alliance has come a long way since the day I just barged into the 5th (and then also the last) spot while trying to figure out how alliances work and what they did haha. Sucks to see it come to this but hopefully things will turn out for the best. If you do leave, Gas (and anyone else who goes the same route), best of luck to you and I'll be happy to welcome you back any time, and hopefully, everyone else will do the same too.
    Cheers!
  • Guys, here is my experience:
    without the healing option, you can play less, so it is harder to get points, but during my inactive periods I'm loosing much less point then before so altogether it is not harder to get the rewards. And with an apropriate number of maxed 2* chars you can play quite a lot. So keep playing, it is not so bad. icon_e_wink.gif

    I was 100% against the changes at first, seeming as I was addicted to my OBW/Ares combo in every PVP. However, after playing a few events I am starting to enjoy the game more. In the past few days I have played everyone from Cap/Wolv (both 2*) to Hulk/M Storm teams to try out different strategies. It is obvious other teams are doing the same as I am seeing a lot more Modern Hawkeyes, Dakens, even Moonstone icon_eek.gif

    Overall, the healing nerf sucks and there are numerous other options the devs could have taken. BUT it is not affecting me near as bad as I had feared. I hope everyone else is making out ok with the changes.
  • Hey Nirvana members,

    Could use the team's advice. I nearly have two maxed 3* characters, Captain America and Punisher. Since it takes forever to max out another 3*, i want to be smart about who to focus on next. Who should I work on next? My initial thoughts:

    Daken - i like his passives, especially the true healing. Could be good towards next 3* (thor or hulk). Cons - Not sure his passive on matching green blends well with punisher. I also dont have him so it would be a long slog to fully maxed.
    Black widow - one of my highest current 3* so easier to max out. Purple power covers the one color Cap and Pun dont cover. Cons - Not sure her red or green power fit the team.
    The hood - his passive fills much needed defense. His black power is a great fit for Cap whose red power is my major damage dealer. Cons - feels kind of weak.
    Magneto - fills the purple power gap with high damage output. Cheap red power can help shake up the board. Cons - not a great blend with with Cap and Pun.
    Loki - fills the purple power gap. Black power can help against my weakness to lazydaken teams. Cons - lower max level. No actual damage output.
    Falcon - fills the purple power gap. Passives support other team members without conflicting. Cons - only have one falcon cover so another long slog to max.

    Currently im leaning towards falcon or the hood. Other thoughts on my analysis or other heroes you would suggest?

    For new or curious team members, i havent spent a dollar on the game. Currently on day 160 and ive only bought one 3* cover with hp.

    Thanks, guys!

    That is a great question Dune. I am no expert at 3* characters (only 3* I have above lvl100 is Hulk and that is due to recent lvl boost by D3P) but I would rank your options as:

    Hood
    Lazy Daken
    Magneto
    Falcon
    Black Widow Grey Suit
    Loki

    I feel you can toss out BWGS right away considering her green is so expensive and typically needs a battery (i.e. Iron Man 40 or Lazy Thor). I also feel Loki is exceptionally useless in most cases due to the cost of Trickery. Falcon's Inspiration move works best with Daken or Black Panther, characters than can quickly place Strike and Protect tiles.

    Magneto is a popular choice, I see many 3* teams run him due to 2AP for red. Blue and Pink powers are also powerful and fairly cheap. However, the devs have been talking about nerfing him forever and their track record is not great (Spiderman, Ragnarok, Mohawk Storm).

    Lazy Daken contributes a ton of strike tiles and has a built in healing mechanic. I use the 2* version frequently. I also see many people leaving Daken for last, choosing to kill Punisher and Cap first. By the time they get around to Daken there will be so many strike tiles on the board they will take serious damage.

    Personally, I would choose the Hood if you already have him capped at 13 covers. His colors (Yellow/Blue/Black) should allow him to be protected by Cap and Punisher on offense. Make sure you do not over-level him so that he starts tanking the colors. He contributes AP each turn, dishes out damage and speeds up countdown tiles. His three powers all work great on offense of defense, he is usually the first guy targeted on defense, allowing Cap/Pun to inflict some damage. Your team would be out one color (Pink) which isn't a huge loss. Just one less color that OBW can steal from you!
  • Thanks, Tagstar! Great suggestions. I'm leaning toward the Hood. Good point about not overleveling him. Appreciate the help!
  • I would definitely go with the Hood. Like an idiot, I sold a hood cover one of the first couple of months I played this game, thinking "this guy doesn't look that good." The more I have been playing, I realize that he is awesome, especially with Cap, since Cap is a little slow to attack, and Hood's black will reduce the countdown on your Cap red and blue. The only issue with Hood seems to be that he really isn't very good until you max him out, and he has low health so he is easy to kill on defense.

    Having said that, I think Daken is amazing. I finally won a purple cover with a simulator token, and the strike tiles make a huge difference in damage, although it is a much bigger benefit for me since I run Thor and Hulk, which are big green users. Plus, Daken covers blue and purple, which are weak colors now that my Spiderman isn't worth much and Magneto is about to be Nerfed. I also like the ability to use Daken's blue to get the last bit of damage that I didn't get from a Thor Call the Storm.

    Right now, I am focusing on Punisher and Daken, and I am going to try to get some Hood covers, but I only have 1 now, so it will probably take forever.
