I'm kind of surprised they are changing it. It doesn't affect me, but it seems allowing shield hopping would lead to more people buying HP to do so. When they changed healing, it made health packs more important, and could lead to more people buying them. Unless they think people will buy longer shields due to the cool down period.

It does say the 8 hour cool down is what it's set to in the testing phase. Might be different once this change becomes active.
For some reason in the Steve Tournament all I'm facing are low level (below 50) characters, for 22 points at the most. Where's all the 30+ point teams? Making it really difficult to move up.
I did get a black Doc Ock cover from the token reward. Big whoop.

Sentry. Green for top 5, red for top 25, yellow for top 100.
i think your going to need Sentry in the next Story thing that starts in 4 hours . I wont even try to start it until Late monday. since the WWE ppv is on tonight and got work at 7 so crashing right after the ppv
Length of Sub-Events: 36 hours
top 150 in each bracket gets 51-150. 1500
so just going for top 150 not really care about top 50 in this but if i get very good nods maybe top 50 run
edit just noticed 50 compair to 150 is just 50 more HP no more covers or anything. So just going for 150 run
105000.
and its a week event. so 3 rds and a final ?

Got a 10 pack from the season and another 10 pack from the oops. I guess I must had been attacked and went under 4k but all I got was 1 Doc ock cover.
Hope you enjoy all the useless 2*. j/k
This game is acting a a chore with all the events.

My Sentry event hasnt even started yet. I seem to be in a better bracket for the She Hulk PvP at least.
Not yet, but if you want to break it down, I'd appreciate it. I think I'll join in after work tonight. This is Elektra rewards right? Does top 150 at least get a three star?
Powered Up Chars are
Loki
Doc Ock
Sentry
Ares
Daken (2*)
and our favorite Moonstone
Nodes open up events that seem to last 1d 12 hrs.
Loki is essential for the first event
Prizes are Elektra (red) for 1-5
black for 6-10
purple for 11-50
51-150 get a nice blue DD
Alliances are Elektra Purple for 1-50

Seriously, I mean for most of us who kept him we have 5 purple already. Black was the tough color to ever get.
His new power is crap though, enemy matches 4 & countdown tiles to steal ap? That's if the tiles don't get matched or Loki dies. I'm playing the Loki nodes & sentry is buffed. Sentry pretty much kills Loki with self damage, they do not play well together!
Luck is waning, got a green sentry last night, so that helps. Managed top 100 in Steve's tournament so got a red shulk. Guess I'll check the rewards on the shulk tournament. My sentry only needs 1 yellow & I think he's maxed.

I knew the answer was in here, that works out brilliantly for me then.
Me too. Need one yellow and he's fully covered. Not sure if it's the right way (3 in yellow), or if I'll ever dump the Iso into him, but he'll be ready for it at least.

I just looked we both have sentry at 5/5/2 AND at level 100. Funny how we've put in enough ISO to bring him somewhat up to speed, but he's still not that useable. I mean Ive really tried to like sentry but he's just another one of those characters with colors that would be better suited for other powers.
But here was the new post nerf results of his breakdown & whats viable.
Since I dont really care then a 5/5/3 build works just as well for me. Never got Sentry Bombing anyways, then again Im old school where a fully leveled up hulk used to scare people away.
either i burned myself out on this game or the jacked up the ai where its just way to freaking insane to play. My people were like level 20 when i first started out now they are 85+ First round i was like 82 and was like cool i know i wont make the top 50 but should get the overall 150. now im like rank 289 and will be lucky to even get the top 300 token per round.
When I jumped in, the first few nodes were over level 120. Then there were some in the middle in the 40s, and the last one was 180+. Not sure why, but it did seem strange.
I'm going to give up my spot on the alliance. I'm am burnt out at this point and the pace isn't slowing (it may be getting worse). The thought of grinding through another pve while trying to hit 4k in the season just to get kicked in the stones at the end anyway is too much.
1st node was green...second node was orange when I started with over a day on the timer. I dont think I will be partaking in the PVE event either. Have been bashing skulls in PVP tho. Loving my Hulk/Daken/Falcon combo - hurting Hulk will just generate greens making strike tiles.
My Sentry is 5/4/4, and was thinking I wanted to get to 5/5/3. Now that I look at that breakdown and think about it, I think I like the 5/3/5 better for when he's a PvP required character.
Hulk started losing his scary status when Steve arrived. And when X-Force got reworked, it was over. Now he's a green generating damage sponge.

I think my Sentry is 2/3/2 or something. His colors set just works better with other characters. He has really limited use.
My first node featured Maggia guys at 120. And I was forced to only use Dark Avengers characters. Ugh.

probally not thinking right but Wolv. and daken seem like they would work very well together.
now to max out daken or black widow (both rank 2) since got them back maxxed covered it will be months before i get enough crystals to max them though LOL. i think one was 54,000

They're definitely a popular combo, but not one I particularly liked. If Daken fills up the green tiles with his weaker strike tiles, then Wolvie's green can be wasted.
Btw, a "feature" in the latest update is that you can no longer see the scores of your targets. So instead of looking for targets with more points than you, aim for people worth at least 25pts.
All the versions of Wolverine and Daken work well with each other. Match green to power a Wolverine attack, get strike tiles for your trouble and two characters with true healing for when you take a hammer to the face. There is a case to be made that they are both trying to write to the red tiles, but it has the benefit of blocking other powers like Doom, Daredevil, or even another Wolverine/Daken combo when every red is covered.
That being said, 2* Black Widow is one of the best characters in the game, so she should get the levels first.
As for ISO, join Lightning Rounds right when they start. In the Eastern time zone they start on the even hours, usually from noon on Tuesday to 10am on Thursday. Fight the seed teams until you aren't getting seed teams - a decent squad should get you over the 100 mark each time (the only one you might need to skip is Battle Angel, since that is usually a leveled/covered seed team). Don't worry about placement. You're getting ISO from progression, not skipping, the token pull and the occasional cover rewards.
Probably the easiest way to make ISO in the game.
dont think that is on the PC side cause i dont see any way to see the scores
only get 70 crystals from lighting rounds

#75th in both the sub event and main. Oooh, and I just got Loki from a token. Maybe I'll hit those essential nodes now.
Psyloke, Falcon and (surprsingly) Doc Ock make a decent team for taking down those Maggia goons. I took down the two muscle/Don combo w/o taking a hit.

Nothing but two stars from all my tokens. And crap. Dropped from 80th place to 104 by being attacked one time in the last hour of the She Hulk tournament. cost me a Sentry cover. I never use him anyway.
The second sub event is featuring enemies with much lower levels. The final node on the last event had 200 level Punisher and Maggia guys. (Still beat em)

The good news is, the last 2 times they ran this Prodigal Sun event, there was a node in the final sub to easily get a Sentry cover.
I see events right now, on an iOS device.
Looking at the forums, there was an issue last night for quite a few users. Restarting didn't fix it. Probably 2-3 hours for me before they were back. What makes it worse is not everyone was affected, so I lost some rank/points.

I had no problems. Enemies for this second sub event were -way- lower (no one even over a 100) than the first event.
Think I have nearly 30,000 points and sitting at about 50th over all.

Bleh, not liking this event at all. I really hate when they do this kind of tiers for rewards. Top 50 & above gets the new Cover character. Why is Elektra a 4* anyways? I'll have to figure out where in the marvel universe Elektra tops Captain America or Iron man.
I just hit 20k & I made it up to 425 in my bracket. Enemies are lower levels and points are low too. This whole event is horrible period. Powered up villians that I dont give a crap about. Moonstone finally powered up? Wow too little too late. Progression rewards are crap, mostly darl avengers 2* that I get from tokens or playing PVP. Top progression reward is loki, but not his green, why would you want his new color? So you get what purple? The color most people draw if they get a Loki?
And since everyone is grinding for Elektra, pvp is open and available again. Easy Loki if you want to grind more in the pve. I started early for the 300 pt reward token, been sitting at 300 & still in top 100. 1st place has 700+ points, so not too difficult. I have a day left but havent seen many people trying too hard.
Anyways since they said theyre slowing down on the new character releases I wonder whats next & how upset people are going to be if the next event is a heroic juggs with IM40 as the reward.
said only 1 more till end of year so guessing story is done for the year meaning good luck getting any covers in the pvp events cause that will be the only thing that is playing. kisses my chanceing of getting 4k in season goodbye
From that Piecing Together MPQ article...
.
Edited for pee (wait... changed PvP to PvE. Oops).
So there's another PvE right after where she'll be a featured character. Don't finish in the top 50? Enjoy the Christmas grind-fest. Thanks D3.

with us. Oh they didnt like that? Well lets do that again then. Oh look at them bitch, well lets increase the scaling. Whats that you're getting too many good pulls from tokens, lets change the algorithm.They know we'll play the game regardless so they really seem to get off on this. I also think this because of lack of communication on the forums. Seems like devs dont even bother trying to talk to the players anymore. I really wonder what churn is on this game because Im seeing a lot of the same on the android gaming sales forum: "I played MPQ but I got burned out on the f2p model, it was just too much and I lost interest quickly." Many many people are saying that, I really hope the Devs can do something before they let this one die. It has such potential but I really feel lately theyre beating a dead horse and milking it.
But isn't this how every f2p game works? Candy Crush just kept pushing more crap in your face until you basically had to use boosts to beat levels. Ran out? Better buy more. Never did that, and no longer play the game. Since we've been playing from the very beginning, I feel like we're more inclined to deal with the BS that gets thrown our way, just because it is a game that has a great core to it. New players pick it up, are often thrown into the fire without any guidance, and quickly get down the wrong path (throwing away the wrong covers, spending HP incorrectly, etc). Hard to keep new players that way.
They need to figure out a way to keep the casuals that have been playing all along, though. The beginning of the 2nd Sentry sub, I didn't play for 32 hours before jumping in. Honestly, enjoyed not having to worry about coming back every 2.5-5 hours to grind through a run. Maybe I won't get an Elektra, and be pissed for the next event, but screw it.
I don't know if I'll ever be able to completely quit, because the combination of one of my favorite games and comic book super heroes is a match-5 made in heaven, but it may become a putting-the-kids-to-bed, taking-a-relaxing-dump, just-finished-in-my-wife kind of game.
