I usually don't, but it was late at night & unusually quiet. I heard a sound & was like wtf is that. So I turned up the volume on my phone. I thought Ares red power sound was bad, but she takes the cake!
I don't tank and I don't retreat. I lose intentionally for a few rounds, and right now my MMR is putting me against an occasional 1* cover.
That is why I wanted to add BP!
I would spend HP on the last two covers I need for him except for the possibility that instead of adding a power to this one, they just release a new gold star version or some crap.
I would put my money on a new cover entirely. I am having a hell of a time thinking of drastically different Doom variants that would even fit in with this. None with Dark Reign to my knowledge at least. Where is DS and his wealth of comic knowledge and imagery when you need him?
Yep protect tiles are going to be the new commodity. Probably not to the point to make bullseye the new OBW though. Although if they lowered his black & gave him a 3rd power....Oh god a gold bullseye? I shudder to think about that!
They're actually waiting for you specifically to spend that HP before releasing a new Doom.
Looks like something called Doomwar? Apparantly Doom fights panther and the panther God?DS, you know more comic stuff than I.
What series is this version of Doom from?
PIMP!DS, you know more comic stuff than I.
What series is this version of Doom from?
Shows how much we know about Doom doesnt it? But Im not a fan of the FF or Doom anyways. Thats why I love that issue of the Superior Foes of Spider, #6. God that series is great for a laugh, kinda crazy Superior Spiders gone but the superior fallout is still going on.I should read this series now, seems interesting! I love me a good Doom arc
*edit*
Just realized his current cover is from Doomwar haha
Im gonna leave this right here
I still see 141 Hulks in almost every 2/3 teams I see in tournaments.
I think you're right, must be the MMR. Im seeing lost of teams like that too. So I guess lower MMR means less hulks. I'll take it!
Only in roster wiping. She's kind of a better Loki - if you aren't facing someone who makes special tiles, you really have to think about whether to run her. I like her green, although the AP loss is a little too random - I would have preferred something predictable. Although, she has a great health pool at 141, so I could see her as being great on a defensive team. The nice benefit is that with her cousin, you get a less annoying red and a ton of health your opponent needs to slog through.
Mine is not quiet. I also am facing nothing but 212/141/141 teams. I have been too lazy to even try tanking my MMR at all. I just dont care for the tournaments as much after burning myself out on that damn Thor one last month. I have been happy just sticking with PvE primarily and then dabbling in the PvP and it also makes me feel like I am playing less hardcore since I am okay 'failing' events.
Could be a bit of both. I did see a thread on d3pforums yesterday with people talking about 20% of their alliance quitting.
Me too.
Once you get to the top 10, you face higher level enemies. Its mainly due to the fact youve gotten so high. The past couple events Ive breezed by killing all the magneto storm teams, when I get a decent amount of points they bring out the LThors & Hulks.
I think I will use IM40 more once I get his yellow to 3 to get the green boost. Between his high health, a useful yellow and something to do with blue on a bad board, he makes a decent third wheel.
For me it's taking a combination of MMR for that event and standing. Tanked 5 matches and cruised #3 with 649 points before I saw my first maxed 3* and got clobbered for -200 points by consecutive attacks. The attacks started once I broke top 10 and tempted to tank again just so that I can grind more Isos.
Oh God I just looked at that. The roster is more horrible than the last one. Least I have Punisher & OBW, but with her healing gone-ish I havent played her to know how she handles anymore.
This PvE is just further proof they want you to expand your slots and keep every character. I have 34 slots, and I'm missing 2 of the 8 available. I'm sure they want you to see how useful Bag-Man can be against goons, but then you get Daredevil, Mr. Sucks-Against-Goons. So they sort of make two halves of one character?
I hate to say it, but against non characters Bagman is actually decent. Usually no one has yellow, so if I have a Bagman Im shooting snarky remark off left and right. Enemy countdown tiles never go off. Then Switcharoo helps me make 4+ tile matches if you do it right. Just that blue, thats what I have no use for. And yes the limited rosters are promoting this "roster Diversity" Im happy I leveled up most of my 3*s to 100+ but now Im wishing I hadnt sold most of my 2*s. I now have to waste iso leveling them back to the levels they were previously to be competitive. Just thankful I kept my 85 storm and thor as they were invaluable during the last event.
Exactly, I dont know where I can level mine up to, but I dont even know if I want to. They need to make him more useful as a character. In PVP there is NO REASON you shouldnt want him on your team. His red is quite powerful, stun is good, and steals AP. If he could heal he'd probably be better than OBW.
The AI plays him horribly from what I've seen, so you wouldn't want to leave him as a defender for sure. Also, he would be more useful if you could choose where to set his traps.
They really dont, they make him useful and balanced. Im not trying to turn him into a 4* Thor by any means. I just want a reason to use him.
This as well. Give him an ability like Cap/Steve where he can set the traps anywhere he wanted. Having them placed at random points the computer always makes sure to place them in areas they'll never get used.
If anything, that's what bugs me the most about him. You either have to gamble, or waste turns setting up the board.
You hit the nail on the head with this one. I can forgive the countdown tiles he places, but the lack of control hurts. Which is crazy since the 1* version, his 2 skills, you can place anywhere. Sure arrow stab kills 1 whole row but you have control over which row. Bullseye too, you can choose where to place those critical tiles. Makes no sense for 2* to have random placements.
I think I only played a couple rounds, so I cant be too sure about the DD tournament. I completely lost track of the Widow tournament & lost out on any DD covers. I logged back in and it was over.
Honestly, theres no estimate I can give you. It wasnt until the Stormhawk tournament that I noticed my MMR was back in a competitive range. Before that I just kept losing out & struggling to make it to the bottom tier 2* prize. Since I didnt need that Id bump myself down to the 3x standard token prize, since at least that you have a possibility to get a 3* cover. I think it came to a head for me closing out season 2, with the Lazy Thor tournament. I couldnt get anywhere and kept losing left and right. So a ballpark? Id say about 5 tournaments of straight losses and minimal wins. Each tournament is 2 days or so, so 10 days? Also just to throw this out there, at that time I was upset at the game. I missed much of Thick as Theives & the Brotherhood magneto rehash. So a decrease in play time may also factor into it.
I was calculated it and I spent on average about 500 per match (looking at how many times I skipped and the fact that I would nearly max out each boost for every turn) in the initial Lazy Thor reward tournament....
