Marvel Puzzle Quest Discussion Thread

Season 1 deadline has been extended also.
Now this is interesting, sure the server maintenance shut the game down for a couple hours, but the extension shouldnt be this long. We all knew a Daken Tournament was going to happen, there was 2 days left in the season. This was adequate time for a Daken tournement by itself. Now the extension for 5 more days? Oh wait Heavy Metal rewards are Ragnarok, so KRAKADOOM tournament replay again? Then after another 3* Thor tournament? Each tournament usually lasts about 2 days, Im wondering how many more they add. No way theyd just have 2 days with only playing the simulator for points.

 
I thought I would be able to level Daken up a little higher than just 20 for some reason... lame. haha
Its not until you get multiples of 1 power that it goes up higher. Usually 1 power is a base of level 15, if you have other powers your level will only increase slightly. So basically a daken with 1/1/1 wont be able to level up as high as a Daken with a power set of 3/0/0. Yes I know very stupid.

Im looking at my roster for validation too. My 3* Thor is 0/1/4 and is capped at level 53. However my Falcon at 1/3/1 and my Human Torch at 1/1/3 are capped at level 43. All are at a power set of 5/13 powers however the first cover of a power always increases your level slightly.

 
However they screwed up the oscorp event, went silent about the rewards, then the "servers went down" for some maintenance, all while they implemented a new update? Its all pretty shady how it all went down at around the same time. Usually they announce the server maintenance long before, not like in 15 minutes. The update I knew was coming, I think.
Having seen many, many IT roll outs go horribly awry, it's usually incompetence, not malice, that causes outages of this scale.

Not to say it isn't possible, but it's more likely something screwed up in the staging of the update that cascaded like an old school Ragnarok fight, and they didn't know how to tell the player base.

 
More iso for LT in a couple days.
Which having Thor at level 115 already, anything after right now costs like 2250 per level ughhhhh. Right now I just have a bit over 20k saved so that is MAYBE 7 levels!

I have so many characters I wish I could level up : /

Current vs soft cap

Torch: 71 -> 117

Punisher: 67 -> 141

Hulk: 61 -> 128

Steve Rogers: 39 -> 79

Black Panther: 34 -> 89

Daredevil: 34 -> 66

Patch Wolv: 30 -> 43

Invisible Woman: 30 -> 50

X-Force Wolv: 30 -> 46

3* Mag: 28 -> 38

Ragnarok: 15 ->25

Plus a couple minor two star characters and Grey Suit Widow.

Ughh. I just want ISO

These are the guys you should focus on. Anyone over level 100 gets priority. Even if they werent over that, Id still put Punisher and Hulk as a top priority for leveling up. Black Panther is ok, he's great at support if your OBW is down, so I wouldnt focus on him. Rags is only on there for the inevitable tournament coming up. 3* Mags because, well why not? only a couple levels & he's fun. Steve Rogers, gives you the appreciation of what Cap shouldve been. He's actually good, dont let 2* cap leave a bad taste in your mouth.

If Im going to give you advice and pick only 1, PUNISHER! Punisher is so good that he doesnt even have a recommended build. I was upset that I have 5 in red, but being able to 1 hit kill anyone under 40% of their max HP. Heh thats fun....bye bye hulk, boom! :twoguns:

*Edit* Yeah I excluded torch, his power set uses the same colors as Punisher, so if you had to choose 2, Id worry less about Torch. I know Hulk uses the same colors too, but his black is passive & generates green which is useful to punisher or hulk, so they can be put on the same team. Plus Punisher/Hulks reds dont overlap, meaning you're going to use a punisher 1 shot kill more than a hulk self inflicting damage attack.

Yeah I was focusing on him (Punisher) until I got more Torch covers but the fact that his black eats up your AP pool is no good.

I just wish my Punisher was 5/3/5 instead I have him 3/5/5

I think that is right... I have 3 in black when I would like that at 5 and green at 3 instead.

I honestly am not leveling anyone up at the moment and am just going to save what I have for my lovely Thor. : P

I forgot about Torch & his AP drain, this is why I dont care for him or IM40 too much. The AP drain from their attacks and then Torch's green uses up green per turn. No green, no damage.

I have my Punisher at 4/4/5, which isnt the build I want either but it's prettty effective. Id prefer a 4/5/4 build personally but as stated he's so verstile you custom him to how you want. He's usually a staple on my heavy hitting team, due to him being at level 120, so Ive gotten used to his playing style.

Here's my reasons for wanting a 4/5/4 build:

Black-at level 5 the countdown reduces to 2, from 3. If you can protect the countdown tile it doesnt matter. Also at 4 opponent team attack damage is already maximized. No real reason to waste putting this at level 5 for a reduction of 1 on a countdown tile.

Green- At level 5, 3 strike tiles. Extra strike tile good. Damage may be low from the initial attack and does not generate AP, but can create a small cascade. Relatively low cost too. the strike tiles placed are not directly related to any other factors, give enemies strike tiles, nor are limited. (Eg. 2* Wolverine, Patch, Psylocke, Black Panther)

Red- At level five one hit kill to enemies below 40% of their health. Level 4 has damage at maximum with kill below 30%, no real advantage for the extra 10%. Most of the times you will use this not even thinking about the enemies health anyways.

So I think you have a good Punisher build, just 1 more in black & a reduction in whichever color you feel & you're all set.

As for Leveling up your Thor, its whatever floats your boat. Level up 1 character & have him on your main team or level up multiple characters so that everyone has a fighting chance. What Ive been doing is trying to get all my 3*s up to level 100 or at least over 85, so I can distinguish them from the 2*s. As my level 120 Psylocke & Punisher have shown me, though they're higher levels, they still can get schooled by an OBW/Ares/Thor/required tournament character team.

AS for ISO, now here's a novel idea that I just came up with. How many high level 2*s do you have? Not talking Ares or OBW, not the ones youd use. How about 2* Cap or Hawkeye, even MN mags. You can get covers for those easy, sure you can respec now but why not sell them off & use their ISO to pump up the 3*s? Food for thought, as I know I get tons of Modern Hawkeye covers, sure thats 250 iso a pop per cover but how much is my level 85 worth? 12500, so roughly 50 covers at 250 each. :whistle2:k *EDIT* WHoa so my Modern Hawkeye at Level 85 is worth $31 worth of ISO? That really is food for thought!

Good breakdown of Punisher, didn't know the difference between black 4 ->5 was just that. I probably would want a 4/5/4 or 4/4/5

In terms of selling off characters I have already done that haha.

My only 2 stars are Thor, OBW, Wolverin, Capt and Magneto. Not counting OBW and Wolverine, those other three are very often boosted characters in events and so I can't justify selling them : /

Maybe my Magneto but he is only 54 and worth 7,500 ISO. Hmm...

Umm how do you feel about that? Like I said only 3 3*s were in mine, looks like same for you. Red hulk & blue doom are pretty good, black loki is meh. You can always level up your bagman now!

Heroic 10 pack, you try so hard to get it and its just a big ass letdown. Least thats a lot of iso from selling the 2*s you dont need.

Those are prob the 2 best builds for punisher. Honestly I want the 4/5/4 but I have a 4/4/5 and as I said, its VERY effective.

Another partial issue with selling them is limiting your roster during events. Yes a lot of times those guys are boosted so its hard to let go. What I was saying though is, as we've seen, getting 2* covers is no big deal. Sell them to the merchant "At a High price" (sorry Ive been playing Resident Evil 4 on xbox,love that game!) then just take the new covers and rebuild. It was easier bringing my 2*s to level 85 than it was to get my 3*s to the levels theyre at.

Some of my 2*s I cant part with though. Ares & OBW, with 2* Thor as well. However when 3* Thor gets up to snuff idk, same with 2 & 3* Cap. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it though. As useful as Wolverine was, he's been replaced by Punisher honestly. I rarely use him, same as Classic storm. MN Mags I havent even really bothered to level him up as Ive focused on 3* classic mags.

Ah and Koju asking about defending teams in their respective events. Im still unsure about that. I had a Punisher/Psylocke/IM40 team in heavy metal, when I logged back in they were defeated. I have my rainbow fun team (This team really is a blast honestly) Classic Mags/Hulk/Black Panther in the simulator, which they won a match. So now Im not sure, who's doing what. I dont remember what order I played them before I left, so Im not sure who defended what & how they could be defeated here yet win there.

 
I was playing MPQ on steam to see how my other acct was doing (Terrible btw). There was a feature that I wanted them to implement in the android version so bad.  Looks like they did that with the newest update.

Im very glad to see how much ISO is needed to get a character to its current level cap. Also even better you can hit that button & if you have the required amount of ISO it will ask you do you want to spend the ISO to get the character there.  This is a much desired addition & Im glad the patch had it.  Now I know how much of a struggle it will be to get to level 141....Man thats a lot of ISO.

Eh, it is what it is. You set my expectation, so I wasn't surprised. Thanks for that.

I was thinking of selling my 2-1-2 Captain America and opening up a slot for Hawkeye, as I have 3 coverrs ready. But then I reedemed a Heroic token and got another Cap cover making him 2-2-2. So...yeah...

Really? You're keeping Cap? If it comes down to a choice between cap and Modern Hawkeye, go for modern Hawkeye. If you ever doubt yourself and wonder why, just remember: Because... boomerangs...

I don't know that it even matters. I'll probably just sell whichever I choose next week to open up a slot for the next new character -  3* Kitty Pryde!

(I totally just made that up. Please do not attempt to verify.)

Nah, we're FINALLY getting Devil Dinosaur! but he's just a 1* so you should max him out quickly. You know you want him.

My proposal for Next MPQ hero is D-man; as we need a new 2* since Falcon slipped into 3* range somehow.  I believe his Catch phrase should be "Bitches want the D!" hence he should be in the game.

Red- At level five one hit kill to enemies below 40% of their health. Level 4 has damage at maximum with kill below 30%, no real advantage for the extra 10%. Most of the times you will use this not even thinking about the enemies health anyways.
I agree with Punisher being a beast no matter where you put the points, but I will say my experience with his red is different when in PvE (or PvP vs. someone like Hulk). I'm always doing the math on that red against anything with a big pool of hit points. Now, since his damage scales with level, as you get him up in level the delta really shrinks on the 30% quickly, so that extra 10% could mean something. I don't personally have a fifth red, but I could see the benefit.

Still, 4 covers is pretty potent for red, especially if you get off a green or two first.
 
I should probably level him up because if history serves us right, we will likely have a 3* Thor Tournament soon.

... and when we do I had damn better do well hahah. But that means since Thor will be the required hero then I will need a 3rd to balance out the team and since he uses Greens and Blacks and Thor's Red sucks ass he would fit really well with Thor and OBW.

 
I'm in the 60s now in the Daken tournament. Hopefully I can push myself up to a secure spot in the 50s or 40s by the end of the day. (Have to work today, unfortunately)

 
Hmm maybe I need to rethink, do I want to keep my Punisher with the 5 in red then? Sure 3 strike tiles would be great but a 1 shot kill is even better. He's effective right now, so I may keep him that way.  Not like his covers are flowing like water anyways.

OBW's synergy with Puniser is meh at best.  The one power, black, that youd want espionage in naturally defaults to Punisher as he's more powerful in it.  The biggest issue with OBW is when paired with 3*s her powers a greatly hampered. Sure you get the benefit of healing and stealing, but espionage is greatly neutered.  I guess once you transition into a full 3* team, Falcon would probably be a good support character with Thor and Punisher.....Hmm still no (active) blue though.

Speaking about OBW, anyone face a team without her yet? When facing my opponents team my choices look like Required character, OBW, Ares/Thor.  Quite literally I have in queue right now 2 Daken/OBW/Thor teams & 1 Ares team. Yeah I use them too but it's getting nuts.  It feels like we're back in the old SThormverine days.  Ha whats funny is that as I was thinking that I won a black OBW cover from my tournament match. wow.

Id so love to do better on this tournament, but after crapping out on Heavy metal, Im just tired of facing an endless wave of OBW/Required Character/Ares/Thor teams over and over. It does take a toll.  Target OBW first, then Ares/Thor, then crap character; rinse and repeat.  Speaking of Heavy Metal, anyone else having a hard time justifying leveling up IM40 to 100? I have him at 95 & just dont see doing it.  Personally I think they should have a 2* Iron man, since he's got so many damn suits anyways & the 3* just kinda sucks.

They are rebalancing Spiderman. If his Web Bandages used Black or Purple instead of Yellow then he would be a perfect fir for a 3* team.

And yeah I have fought I think 1 or 2 teams that havent had OBW. That is why I said a while back if they ever release a 3* OBW I dont care, I will spend real money and not eat for a week to get her hahaha

From what the announcement said, the colors won't change. What's changing is how his blue works (no more stun-lock on the first turn possibility) and that the healing part of yellow doesn't rely as heavily on the number of web tiles to be better than OBW. Something tells me once that happens is when I get the covers I've been looking for him, and he won't be as crazy as he is now - the only reason I don't use him more is low covers and low HP.

I think at this point, the only way to reduce OBW fatigue in the PvP scene is to have another GSBW tournament. And something tells me D3 knows that trying to nerf her will bring out the pitchforks and torches. I tried to play as much of Heavy Metal as possible without her (IM40 has a nice health pool when leveled and boosted), but I'm not finding it as easy to do with a scrub Daken.

Yeah I know they are just changing the moves effects, I just meant IF the color were changed from yellow he would be perfect. Seems odd to have a healing move Yellow either way though because Yellow is predominantly a direct attack for most characters and not a support move.

Not really, yellow is the one that seems to be all over the board. Thor, Ares and Hood use it to attack. Captain America, IM35 and Invisible Woman use it for defensive tiles. Black Panther uses it for offensive tiles. Wolverine and Daken indirectly rely on it for healing, Spider-Man directly heals. Falcon uses it to boost other tiles, Bag-man improves your countdowns.

Every other color seems to have a general type of power. "We could always use yellow" seems like how new character meetings end when they are running too long. :???: Maybe yellow is supposed to be "flexibility" or something.

OOOOOHHHHH IN Your face son! You done got schooled!!!!! HOOTIE HOOO!!!!!

And just to throw some salt in the wounds Iron Man 40 uses yellow to recharge your AP in all other colors, so what now? WHAT WHAT? I though not!!!! :twoguns: Shots fired, what you got now son?

Did crappy on the God of lies tournament.
Did so bad that I only got a black bullseye. This is the third black bullseye this week....from this tournament! I think it's a sign.
New tournament, what did I win from a battle again? Black Bullseye. I swear, Im gonna sell my 5/5 and just build a new one at this rate.

Here's my Tally, Black bullseye from God of Lies Tournament, 1 from Heroic Token, & now 2 from MP battles as rewards. Once again, its a sign. Someone make a joke about always bet on black, bullseye!

 
So, this happened...

When it happened the first time, I thought I was mistaken. But then it happened again.

Was playing a match with my Ares against OBW. (My OBW was already down from an Admantium Slash.) I executed a Sunder against Wolvie. Opponents next move, OBW hits me with her Anti-Gravity Device. It both added time to my Sunder countdown and gave her health!

Be on the lookout for this bug. I barely eeked out a win.

 
This is one of the FIRST tournaments that I REALLY want to do well in and it is by far the most tough for me.

I have been attacked SO MANY time in comparison to any other ones. Just now I won one after coming back from losing seven, only to have been attacked during that win to not move anyway. Plus EVERY one of my opponents is at the very least level 115 or and I have had two 141s appear more often than I should be too : /

Ugh. This is going to be really tough to score both moves. I haven't gotten any higher than the top 23 and even then I was quickly smacked back down : (

Lol not a bug bro, thats the power of her blue at level 5. If there's an enemy countdown tile on the board she increases the time & gets health, if no countdown tile on the board, she gets double health back. Thats why I drop the countdown tile before I do Anti grav.

Anti-Gravity Device
Power Cost Blue 11 AP
Stolen Stark tech increases enemy countdowns by 2. If there are none, heals allies of 100 damage.

At Max Level:
5 covers: Heals 614 health with enemy countdown tiles present; otherwise heals 1228 health

(Per WIki)

What else is going on? No event, no other tourney starting, just the simulator and prologue (if you havent finished). Everyone is just in the Daken tournament dicking around. I havent even got 300 points yet because I honestly am taking a break after the oscorp fiasco. I want to break into at least the top 50 but I dont see it happening. With nothing else going on, everyone is in there going at it just because.

It's not really spelled out at d3pforums or in-game.

Anti-Gravity Device - Blue 11 AP
Stolen Stark tech increases enemy countdowns by 2. If there are none, heals all allies of 100 damage.
Level Upgrades

Level 2: Add 3 to timers.
Level 3: Costs 2 AP less.
Level 4: Adds 4 to timers.
Level 5: 50% heal with enemy countdown timers present.
Max Level: Heals 1139HP
(Dev note: This means at Level 5 AGD and base level character, she would heal for 50 with Countdown tiles, plus 50 more if none are present)

So, does she add 4 and get 50% health? Why not just say so? If that is the case, my OBW is speced WRONG.

I looked & your OBW is so speced wrong. She needs to be 3/5/5, we've had this discussion multiple times, where have you been?

3 in purple since its the quickest way to steal and honestly do you really need to steal 4 purple?

5 in blue because at that level you heal AND increase countdown timers, if no timers on the board you get DOUBLE HEALTH BACK!!!!!

5 in black gives you the passive steals of purple/black/blue & the most extra bonus damage.

QFE

Yeah I didn't even think that EVERYONE is playing this tournament : /

Dammit. Ugh. Crap. Poop.

I just want to max out my Thor... :' (((

 
I am almost to the single digits of this tourney. Ugh. I really don't want to deal with the crap that will likely occur tomorrow as it nears its end.

*EDIT*

Cracked the top 10 but am not throwing up a shield.

I am tempted to see if I can score the 1100 Daken Purple Cover progress reward

Ha, just managed a win against a maxed Thor/MStorm team with my 61 Bullseye and 85 Ares. Let's see if they act as a deterrent, shield, or neither. God knows I've had no defensive wins with Wolvie/OBW.

 
I seem to be doing okay with my level 77 Hulk and 85 Magneto. Together they cover every color but yellow. Both have a really nice board clearing cascade attack too.

And it's better than using the same OBW/Thor combo over and over.

In the top 50 now. If I break 25 I'd be thrilled, but to get at least one Thor cover would be nice.

 
I hate this tournament.

They need to start something else to alleviate this.

I literally can't move up at all. Every time I win, I lose while winning...

I went to bed at #5 with like 870 or something and I woke up with 650 at rank 50.

This is killing me. I need to get above 900 and then shield up but I can't get that high no matter how many times I keep winning.

This would happen on the effing Thor eventtttttttttt

UGH.

End rant.

Though I am sure I will have another one later tonight hahah

*edit*

Already back for more complaining!!!

I literally just lost ANOTHER 200 points in less than an hour... this is ridiculous. I really wish I had just shielded last night. I never would have guessed it would be THIS ridiculous. Plus everyone I am facing is 141.

I am tempted to see if I can score the 1100 Daken Purple Cover progress reward
I always look at those & the top progress reward of a 4* as basically the carrot they dangle in front of you to get you motivated. Only a very small percentage of people make it that far. My personal best has always been 800-900 points before I get too high that the masses collectively knock me down.

People are very bored with this tournament that no one has anything to do. Im getting knocked down in the simulator more than the tournament because there's more variety in the tournament. However the defending team issue really needs to be addressed. I forgot which I played last so I dont remember who my defending team was. I logged in today and saw multiple losses. I went to play the tournament & saw I had a Daken/Black panther/ Classic mags team there, if thats the case I see why I lost so much.

Well, did an experiment last night, got rid of 10 characters off my roster, devastating I know. Im sure I'll get more than enough covers back from tokens and rewards to rebuild most of them. Plus now I can be happy and say "wow thank you heroic token, I did need that Blue modern Hawkeye/captain america!" again. Sold them off to get the iso to raise my punisher to 141, and still had a good chunk of iso left. Not enough to get any one else to max, but I raised a couple levels up. Gotta say I thought having a level 141 3* would push me to godlike status, yeah that didnt happen. Still barely managed to scrape by against a OBW/Thor/Ares team. To make up for it, the game gave me a Yellow Hood from my Daken tourney token. *Insert broly joke about yellow powers here*

 
You do realize this is because of how bad you want those covers right? What do they saw about if you want something bad, life makes it harder for you to get?

Normally in this kind of event Id shoot for the top 50 at least. Even at rank 433 Im still having people constantly attack me. Luckily for every 3 that attack me, I win 1 battle, so 2 cancel each other out. Of course the 2 that cancel each other out are the low scores. :nottalking:

With this event if I were you Id get as high into the top 25 or as high as you can today and shield. Nothing else going on to take away the non tournament players so the last few hours are going to be a cluster. It was bad on the Heavy metal tourney, I lost 98 points in the last 30 minutes & that was due to the event ending & nothing going on. Even shielded Id epect to drop 1 tier since everyone else will be clawing their way up. Oh & dont watch the top 10 if you're shielded the last 15 min of the game, its maddening. I will never understand how there's always at least 1 person in the top 10 with a mediocre roster that unshields in the last couple minutes, never gets attacked, and manages to bump themselves higher. Tried that once, got my ass spanked so hard, I'll never do it again. I unshield everyone & their momma attacks me while I fought 1 guy. So how the hell do some people have the luck?
