    Sentry nerf is in the last stealth update. Buyer beware.

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

    In the middle of the PVP?

    With no announcement?

    Even for you D3, that is DIRTY.

    How could they do this mid-PVP when some brackets already have scorers over 1700 from Sentry hopping? As if sharing wasn't bad enough, now I have to try to make up over 1000 points without the same available characters. So much for trying to stay competitive for the season too.

    It's like the Devs feel the need to constantly remind us of their incompetence.

    The no announcement part is lame.

    But I wish people would stop complaining about the "mid event" stuff. Changes are always going to be midevent because there are always PVP's running. It'd be worse to have no events at all for a large chunk of time. Unless you want them to force updates, which I don't think they can do, changes will always be "mid-some-event".

    So, the people in the early bracket get to sentry bomb, but the people in the late brackets don't?

    This change should have been made back when there were still just 1 event. Th whole overlapping event end times thing complicated the timing of this nerf.

    Ironically i have had two Sentries (yellow and green) from tokens in the last week taking him to 4/4/4 for me.

    Do people think its worth paying the HP (which i have) to get 5 green and max him for use in end-game PVP (i presently used maxed Hood/LThor), or is he so slow now that just stick with Lthor and use HP to try to hop for an X-force or two? (he is about 2/2/2 for me so a long way off).

    It does suck for this event. I'm just saying that there will always be updates that affect gameplay. I know this was a big one, but how do you propose it be handled? Stop the event schedule for 12 hours whenever there's a big update? I'd hate to log in during the only large chunk of time I have to play over a 2-day period and there be nothing for me to do. I actually turn to other games when there's no PVE and I don't care for the current PVP prizes.

    Dear Developers. You can not possibly put any thought into these changes. And if you do, your ENTIRE team is comprised of first rate morons. If even 1 intelligent person exists in that decision making room...they have to be deaf, blind, and unable to communicate with the outside world in any way. Because any person with even a half of a **** for a brain, would pose the question, "Shouldn't we implement this change once the CURRENT PVP is over"?

    And If someone did ask that question and was shot down...THAT person should be running the whole show because they are clearly the smartest person on your entire team.

    I'm sure the community will get a well thought out and reasoned explanation for the timing of these changes...like never.

    Have a nice Holiday. It's clear that you have been on vacation for quite some time.

    I'm so disappointed in the lack of respect that you continue to show for your playerbase

    Sentry is still viable, he's just slower now, as in, about as fast as any other character. 12 green and 8 yellow to win the game (20 AP) is pretty true of the other existing combos. 12 Black and 9 Green for BP/Patch, 11 Black and 8 Green for X-Force (and a way to use the AP he got from his black), 12 Yellow and about 9 Green for Thor. All of those will basically win you a match. You can boost all of those to make them more likely to occur.

    Is it worth putting down imcoin.png on Sentry covers? Probably not. Will he remain A-Team material in PvP? Yes.

    I think with the time shards there's always going to be an overlap between the end of the last event and the beginning of the next event, though they could've just delayed Fatal Attraction by a day or however long it'd take for the current PvP event to end, though it's still going to overlap with PvE in some way too.

    Supernova might be good to invest in now, though I'm not sure what to drop instead. Maybe drop Sacrifice to 3 and rely on Daken to supply the strike tiles? Daken isn't as powerful as he used to be but he's still a very solid character and his regen goes well with Sentry's self-damaging moves.

    20 AP to deal 2000 damage to Sentry and then probably lose all the tiles because they have 3 turns to cast Xforce, Surgical Strike, etc.

    The only reason Sentry's tiles weren't easily destroyed before was because of how quickly you could get them out.

    535 is definitely the best build now. WR is unusable.

    And even so, having people have a few hours head start without the nerf is a hell of a lot better than the last day of 2 different events

    To sell or not to sell?

    Would really like to max Daken and add a bunch of levels to xForce. Decisions...decisions.

    Instead of a choice between fighting maxed sentry or maxed xforce, now my pve is only maxed xforce. Boring, xforce now dominates, at least he had some competition before

    I still don't understand why they nerfed scrifice that much. It is really really lame. Now you need the tile to be on the board for at least 4 turns !!! 4 turns is a world in this game!!! Sacrifice is just a complement for WR now icon_cry.gif

    Sentry is still a good character, but it was nerfed too much in some aspects (the problem with Sentry was WR, so why nerf that much Supernova and Sacrifice !!!!, now is even worse as only WR is usable :S :S :S :S )

    Please d3 unchange Sacrifice !!!

    PS: Changing Sentry in the middle of the event was terrible. I don't use Sentry much, but I used him in the Hood, Magneto 250+ lvl node and after I paid for the +3 G/B +3 R/Y I noticed the change. I lost the match. I got to use one WR + Sacrifice but my Sentry was so injured that it died in the middle of the WR and I lost. The new Sentry won't be able to win the 250+ lvl enemies as before, so now old players will have some really big problems to win this scaled nodes in PVE.
