  • Here's a pro-tip: Stop running spidey with IM40. The AI holds on to the blue, for a while, then uses one or two stuns followed by some more hoarding. The AI never reaches ballistic salvo and never stuns enough to actually do any harm. Also, AI doesn't heal with the yellow because recharge, or it heals just after you've downed the first character so heals absolutely no one. So besides creating a few protect tiles Spidey is absolutely no good in this PvP.

    And he might be no good in PVP in general soon.

    It's times like these where I'm glad I never had more than two Spidey covers, as the nerf won't directly affect me.

    The inevitable Classic Magneto nerf, though? That'll sting like a ****.

    Hey Reckless - I apologize for those 2 (3?) attacks in a short time - however noone else is so high (both meaning apparently intended icon_e_biggrin.gif) - however I will not retaliate since I am shielded, so get a few points back... not that many since I am at 1120 but still something.

    Nah, the game will just slow down to a crawl, with people switching from Patch/CMags to LT/BP and Hood. Maybe even Hulk will start being relevant again.

    when/if they nerf Cmag, it will considerably affect patch and the way pvp are now played.. gone will be the times when you just have to invest in a a trio of patch/Cmag and spidey to be sure to perform well in pvp .. in some way, its back to the basics..By breaking the crutches people lean on, we are forced to go away from cheesy line up.. its not that bad and that will make the difference between strong built rosters and the rest of the pack..
    On topic, i'm done with this event.. i dont feel like shield hopping all day for 3 rag covers i already got.. i'm not gonna push either up to 1300 for an x wolvie i also got..
    so now i'm shielded for the rest of this event at 1 250.. on to the sim now.. and hopefully the end of this dreadful season 1..

    No problem. I was shielded, so I don't even have you in a retaliation node.

    :O that's strange since I found you at least twice in the same node... so I kinda found you despite you being shielded >.>

  • I should like push to 600 and get my final yellow Ares cover


    Or just.... Let it go... Gosh I hate that song....

    I'm now running two teams but might get attacked a lot now so maybe I should come up with a strategy
  • And servers going down at 11:00, right when I was going to make my lunchtime push in Heavy Metal

    fantastic

    Man... Now what am I suppose to do when I'm on my break at 12pm my time?

    Least I got to play during my hall monitoring during state testing... And least I brought other things to do

    gamar, yep, I read that announcement and thought the same thing.

    It's going to be absolutely insane when the servers come back up what with a lot of people needing to make up ground.

    More likely, I was in morgh's queue. He hit me once, but I was still in the queue so I came up again despite being shielded. It sometimes happens.
  • And here we go again with the server ****

    I was just making my push for the last yellow Ares cover I need before going to sleep - now I know I'm going to have to work my **** off tomorrow to get it...
