We had someone who was a really high random (Ananzi I think), he was top 3 when I went to bed, from the looks of the scoreboard, he bolted. We were top 100 when I went to sleep, sucks to wake up #125. I have my 1 green Ock from finishing top 50 in my bracket, so I can at least do required nodes. I don't really like the look of the character, he reminds me of Mole Man instead of Doc Ock.Huh? I didnt kick anyone
Yeah, I don't remember the name either, but one of our top 3 jumped ship in the last hour (I think). I didn't think of it at the time, but since 120+k points only dropped us about 20 spots, we would've needed someone with even more to get us back into the top 100. That wasn't going to happen. We just didn't have the participation necessary in this event to cover. Oh well. I'll take the HP and the ISO as a consolation prize, go beat off in the bathroom, and go get my own in the Steve event. Who's with me (just for the Steve event... the other part, I hope you can "handle" on your own)?We had someone who was a really high random (Ananzi I think), he was top 3 when I went to bed, from the looks of the scoreboard, he bolted.

I picked up two covers. I placed 11th, with 10th place 3k ahead of me consistently through the last hour. Just couldn't pick up enough points, which seems to have been the entire alliance's issue as well.Yeah, I don't remember the name either, but one of our top 3 jumped ship in the last hour (I think).

Yeah I got one cover for missions moving forward though plan on getting his two other covers with the Steve PvP. Big thing though yeah was I at least was forced to level up my Psylocke to about 100 now throughout the course of the PvE so DS, that should at least keep you off my back on recommending her for a little : PYeah, I don't remember the name either, but one of our top 3 jumped ship in the last hour (I think).

Yep. Need another useless 4 star. Cool. Way to make me spend my HP just to hold on to her for no reason once I finally get her. Oh wait... she might have 3 nodes that require her in one PvE 8 months after she becomes playable.Right above we see the 'Playable Characters' with the Devil Dinosaur included... I wonder if that means we will get him later or if it is just because at one point you can actually play as him in the PvE.
Literally my exact thoughts that I was about to post. Minus having a max Spidey, but really I dont care to all that much. I know he is still useful enough and actually has a purple move haha but knowing he was that much better makes it hard to want to play as him.So Prodigal sun event is being rerun. This will be the second event in which they dont even offer the featured character as a reward. What was the last one? Deadpool to win punisher? Now Sentry event to win....Spider-man. I have a maxed spiderman, so dont care about this event. DoCock tease with the progression reward too. Another green? I dunno what to say about this folks.
My Sentry is still pretty much lacking, I really couldve used some more covers for him, not a post nerfed spiderman.
He has a purple passive, he's more like a useful Bullseye with Stun and healing. I think the only real difference is Spidey has a more limited amount of protect tiles he places with purple. However they're stronger than Bullseye'sI know he is still useful enough and actually has a purple move haha but knowing he was that much better makes it hard to want to play as him.
Are you sure? Mine is showing a blue.DoCock tease with the progression reward too. Another green? I dunno what to say about this folks.
You're correct, I must be looking at the Steve tourney or I went color blind for a second.Are you sure? Mine is showing a blue.

From the official forums:And Devil Dino is there because of that one node. I can almost guarantee it. He's been on the wiki as a playable character for as long as I can remember.
I personally wasn't looking for Devil Dinosaur, but I'm close enough to day 365. Question is whether that Anniversary Pack will guarantee him or not.Greetings, faithful forum folks!

I am still bummed I started this game so late. I had been looking forward to it like crazy once they announced it before its release but they didnt have a solid date at that time and then I didnt find out it had even released until like 3 months after and my buddy (juggernaut) and I were like WTF and installed it right away.I personally wasn't looking for Devil Dinosaur, but I'm close enough to day 365. Question is whether that Anniversary Pack will guarantee him or not.
And I'm not a huge fan of "hey, free stuff if you happen to be in the same place we are, if not, sucks to be you".
think im 30 or 40 days away from 365.From the official forums:

I don't begrudge them the option to promote. They are already promoting the game through the "now through October 18, free ISO for new players", and could just as easily hand out cards with QR codes on how to take advantage of that. Then have the raffle be tchotchke stuff like t-shirts, bobbleheads or comic books.think im 30 or 40 days away from 365.
they're going to a huge con and need to promote themselves. should they not do a giveaway in case they hurt the feelings of ghose unable to atttend?
Because of the awards for this event it really is going to be a lot tougher. Its not Spiderman that anyone cares about, its the top progression reward of a blue doc ock cover. Even I felt it, or I just had some really shitty boards. I was playing with a Steve, Panthers, GREY SUIT Black widow. Grey suit got killed, while panther and steve got knocked down by half their health. I was like WTF? This was only the 2nd regular node, 2 of the maggia kept putting up pistol countdown tiles & I couldnt reach them. Also my goons/maggia are already at 145. This early they shouldnt be this high but everyone's grinding for Doc Ock. Strategy wise, for all the goons and countdowns you're going to need abilities that will counter that. OBW blue is great for extending countdowns, bagman too. I just made a team of Psylocke, Hulk, and falcon. His blue passive is awesome in times like this. Probably thats the team Im going to run with. As much as I love Steve, Im going to need a quick striker for all these countdowns, which Psylocke fits the bill. Hulk can do clean up with his green & if he gets hit that just makes him angry so that helps. Falcons passive yellow makes Psylockes red and black more powerful. They really made this event for people who have 3 Doc Ock skills. After the prologue his passive black really comes in handy with all the enemy countdown tiles.anybody have a good strategy for this event? I am seriously hurting here. I only have powered up green Doc, L33 1/3/1 Ares, and L30 3/3/4 Daken, and I just got pwned on the 3rd nonessential node.
I guess for us they're giving us Devil Dino and whatever. I mean new people will have to wait a year to get one right? I mean unless they put him in circulation in the tokens right away.I don't begrudge them the option to promote.

Coming from a former toy collector angle, if you don't live in San Diego or New York (or travel to those Cons), you miss out on a lot of limited edition 'stuff'. And I get that it's cool to be the winner in those contests.
You better eat a lot of Taco Bell in the Hoosier State. We'll take all the points you can grunt out.I have the standard release of that Thor figure. He is pretty decent. I have far too many toys so lets not start taking pictures of stuff hahaha
Also, when does this subevent end? I am going down to Indiana in like 30 minutes and wont be back until Sunday night so I wont be playing much this weekend but will still push during my poops : P
Dont push too hard, dont wanna blow out your butt hole!but will still push during my poops : P
Yeah, I knew this event was going to be tougher due to progression rewards, but I didn't think *this* tough! Fortunately, since I am still a n00b, but 2nd node goons were L60s, but the 3rd node goons were L70s. Downed me 3x. Gave up, and ended up just smashing on the two Doc nodes. Hit both twice, wait 4h to refresh, lather, rinse, repeat. In the end, I was able to attain 15,753 by doing that. Didn't think I would get that high, honestly.Because of the awards for this event it really is going to be a lot tougher.

Entered a few hours ago and stopped after 3 matches. Jumped back in and in my last match got bulldozed by an IM40 single blue. Why? I had no clue that Steve's protect tiles reduce dmg by 75 points each was he was suped up! Once he cast that, it was like I was shooting spitballs. Everything was coming up -1. Even 4-match row clearings. Then got Ballistic Salvo'd twice, due to cascades from hell fueling IM40. Just let the game sit until the clock ran out so as not to take a loss and diminish my 84 rank. Will get that blue Doc cover.Nearly 600 points and I'm in the 50s for the tournament. Can't quite get into the top 25 position for two covers.![]()
OK, thanks for the insight.OBW should be your iso priority. You want her to 94 as fast as possible. Ares is okay to level since he's boosted for this event, but get OBW as high as possible as soon as possible. I have probably 10 characters over 100, but I still use OBW all the time.
Yes, yes, and yes.Now, back to mHawkeye... trolled again. my Day 45 2* token yielded yet another blue cover for him. If I used it, he would be 4/0/4, but I think that I want to build him to 3/5/5, right? Isn't it better to have the Blast Arrow CD tile be 2 turns rather than the Stun/Steal tile?
Given that I have decided not to put *any* (more) ISO into him until I get at least one red cover on him, I don't need the blue to bump his level just to get more ISO into him ASAP (like I have done with Thor's Red, as he is now 5/2/3 but will be 3/5/5 once I get the 5 covers I need). So, would it be more beneficial for me to just sell off his blue cover and get at least some return out of it? (Yeah, I know, measly 250 ISO, but still...)
I am guessing you don't get any benefit from changing covers at cap other than the ability to change covers, right?
OK, thx! I figured, but wasn't sure. I am glad that I put the 2 "extra" reds on Thor, since the extra damage is very helpful right now as I am leveling him, but I do see how generating 9 total greens with a L5 yellow will be very nice.Yes, yes, and yes.
If you aren't planning to level him right now, the ISO from the sale of a cover you won't end up keeping is better.
I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.Lucked out on my 10 pack. Picked up 2 Falcons, 1 Mag, and last token netted me a Nick Furry. Is everyone playing the PvP because I noticed for the first time my Main Event Ranking and Sub Event Ranking are the same.
Yes. I completely mirror this statement. I constantly have OBW still in my team among my 166s. She usually only takes Blue and Purple and when she does her match damage is the same as if she were my 166 Thor matching a Red because of her level 5 Espionage (black passive). Even after the True Healing patch she still is amazing.OBW should be your iso priority. You want her to 94 as fast as possible. Ares is okay to level since he's boosted for this event, but get OBW as high as possible as soon as possible. I have probably 10 characters over 100, but I still use OBW all the time.
Over half of the DA toons that are featured heavily in the cutscenes didn't make the PU list. Moonstone, Yelena, Venom, and last but not least, Sentry. He was given a few Join Forces nodes so far, but that's it. Not sure why they chose to leave them out. The only other DA completely left out is Rags, tho he is taking a break since he was the star of the last PvE.So one of my Tokens got me a Sentry.... Which brings me to my next question, this is a sentry event right? This was the event where we tried to recruit the Sentry. Why is the Sentry not powered up? Is this a huge oversight? Im just curious. Seems he'd be more powered up than say Doc Ock....oh wait he's not new anymore. Oh but Bullseye is powered up, so makes sense right?
Make sure to get all 3 wolverine covers available in the prologue stories.Wolvie 2* is still at 2/0/2
For future reference, if you overshoot the ranking you want, you can always intentionally lose to drop some points. The lower the points listed, the more you'll lose.PS = Cap*** yellow (now 2/1/0) and Daken** black (now 3/4/5... would have been 4/4/5, but I overshot the Eight is Enough PvP event and ended up 98 and got a BP yellow... wtf am I going to do with another single-cover 3*???).
Daken is like Punisher - there are a couple of builds that all work fine depending on play style. The difference is driven by whether you want to treat Daken as a support character or not. If you want him to support someone else, you want to focus on the best strike tiles you can make, and removing them with blue is not desired. If you like the idea of him dealing direct damage through his blue, it doesn't matter how strong the tiles are.I had read on d3pforums that the preferred build for Daken** is 5/5/3, but having his blue at 5 this event has been a saving grace. Looking at the skill breakdown on the wiki, it seems to me that 4/4/5 would be a very good build, since the damage output going from 4 blue to 5 blue is quite high, over 600 dmg at cap... but maybe I am just not seeing it right. Thoughts?
I'm not trying very hard in the PvE. I had a family emergency and missed the end of the first sub-events and that was enough to put me off of pushing. I also think that Doc Ock progression is out of my reach now. I have been focusing more on the PvP tournaments, and finally have a 13 cover Black Panther, 5/5/3, but at least I can level him to 166 once I get some more Iso. I'm hoping I'll be able to use him to get a few more Sentry covers.The spread difference in the point rewards between the two sub events is pretty surprising.
And why are we trying so hard just for a Spiderman cover?
I see the value in Black Panther after using him in this tournament, just need more than two covers in each. And alot more ISO to level him up to be usefull.
I'm almost at the point where I only use three star characters now. (Except for OBW, who's just as powerful)
I'm not. I'm trying for the Doc Ock progression award and the event tokens.And why are we trying so hard just for a Spiderman cover?
Same boat here, for the most part. I kind of quit playing it last night after a couple cascades against a lvl 178 BP wiped me twice in a row. Haven't logged back in since. Those nodes weren't worth it for the point values they were giving. I'll play for a half hour here soon, then again in 6 hours and 50 minutes when my points refresh, but I'm not going to grind this one like I had originally hoped to do. I'm just not that into it.I'm not. I'm trying for the Doc Ock progression award and the event tokens.
I'm going to end up with at least one Spidey cover inadvertently, since I'm placing in the 30s for the whole event without trying. I already have him covered how I want him, so I feel kind of bad for whoever I'm knocking out of contention.
I will say I'm finding this event super boring compared to the first time this played. I want the Doc Ock covers, but I don't WANT them. Probably doesn't help that so many nodes are underwhelming in the point value. 400 points for a 200+ Human Torch/Spider-Man/Daredevil node? No thanks.
