    I'm curious to know how many people bought them and now might regret it in PVP. They are all fine, but pretty slow compared to the meta. Even boosted, they can be brought down quickly by some of the other teams not boosted.

    We just had a person retire because pvp was too frustrating. Their only two champed 5 stars were 1star Storm and 1star BW

    You know there are others.

    If you bought these 1-5s early (esp the wrong ones) your options are sell them and lose the money or deal with this until you get some other 5s champed.

    ... or just take a relaxed approach to PvP while using PvE, etc, to build roster.

    Because of the outsized influence the weekly and event boosts can have on my PvP experience, if I raged every time PvP felt harder to some degree, I'd be quitting every other week!

    Agreed, And the funny thing is that PVP rewards are not as good as PVE rewards. And, you have to spend actually HP if you want to Shield.

    Selling 3 1s accended to 3 for 10.

    They are only ascended to 2*. Pretty unappealing offer. If it was 3x 1>3s for $10, now that would be a STEAL :D

    Last time they offered this week or two later they did a 1 star. So hopefully within next few weeks

    Edit guess two days later they offered one.

    This obsession is metastasizing into superstition ... trying to divine the future based on picked bits of the past. Next escalation in the development from superstition to religion is to attempt to dictate the future by the performance of rituals ...

    Have the animal sacrifices started yet? :D

    Bad thing is most good teams make you play pvp

    I have yet to find an alliance that either demands. 4000 pts in pvp. Or full progression in pve that hits top 250

    Look at / follow the recruiting thread on the MPQ Reddit. Several alliance "families" have pve-focused groups, relaxed or competitive.

    Can't expect a group to carry you tho. If u want to join an alliance that places at a certain level you've got to be placing at that level or better yourself. If not you're dead weight to them.

    Thanks now back to topic.

    Not a one but 2 star night crawler pushed to 4 star for 24.99.

    Am I nuts or wasn't a 4 star accended nightcrawler in a vault using hp. This has to be one of the worse offers

    In closing rip stormy 7 weeks gone and still miss him (time really flying now just seems like yesterday . Funny how a pet dies. The first few days seem to drag out but then boom it's been 2 months and you go where the hell that time go)

    There were offers for "pre-ascended" 2NCs, yes. Refer back to the threads around his release for details.

    I've got a few of these. They make a huge difference in PvE. They're nowhere near as good as real 5* in PvP but in PvE the fact that they get boosted fairly often because of how small the 1* pool is, they can make a huge difference in how tedious it is to get stuff done on Clearance Level 10. My highest actual 5* is X-23 at 475 and my Shang Chi is only 460. Neither is enough to deal with some of the more annoying nodes in PvE if they're not boosted.

    Last time complain about how long it's been. One popped up a few days later. Let's see if complaing works again. It's been what late April

    Come on it's time. (Waves 20 at them 😂)

    Though mostly want them now just so I can open up the 3973 basic tokens to earn easy hp

    Doubt I will ever use them. aunt may best thing that ever happen in long time

    1 star ascended to 5 star Venom just popped up for sale. One of the ones I missed, so bought him immediately.

    That really sucks I was hoping for someone didn't have. Not sure if worth wasting 20 in him

    Think mine is only 470 so long time to go

    How long you got to buy. Not in front of PC

    I can't see how long anymore. Already bought it and didn't pay attention before I did. I think it's usually like 2 days.

    Re: 1-5 Venom, current offer time left is 2d 9h which basically means it was a 60 hour offer when it started.

    For goodness's sake, he's a terrible toon and I wouldn't spend $20 on a second copy especially if you barely play the game.

    The only advantage would be if you were using him heavily and didn't like using health packs.

    I mean maybe you don't get a second chance to buy one before you add 80 levels (aka 320 covers) but it seems like you will not hit that mark for a while if you aren't playing PVP a lot (and I mean a LOT).

    At 672 he's got like 500k health and his damage powers (while expensive) hit for 100k or something. He's also got "modern 5star" match damage, and the 1star boost rotation is pretty frequent.

    Sure, if you're the type of player who can collect 400 covers for your 1s he's pretty good. Not sure when he crosses the boundary into "better than many champed 5s" as far as levels go.

    If you're at 470 after buying him like 4? 5? months ago spending another $20 on a second copy would be ill-advised. 1 seems like plenty for a player that only plays during very limited times.

    I was more responding to the "he's terrible" part of that.

    The ONLY reason I'd always consider buying these is the insane value and the likelihood that they'll eventually stop selling them due to said insane value.
