Am I the only one that has to redo the main event nodes?

It wiped all of my completion and now I have to redo all the nodes for zero points... wtf

Don't redo them! Just do the middle one, and your next sub will unlock. Same thing happened to me.
 
Also to add onto this there are issues as to what can and cant disarm a trap. When daken makes strike tiles that disarms a trap. I forget if a move like Hulk or Juggs green which breaks random tiles disarms it or not. Its always very iffy as to what can set off a trap & that also hurts his useability.
Anything that overwrites or removes a tile disarms a trap. If the trap is removed as a result of a match (even if it's a row clearing match 4 of a different color), the trap goes off. The first part is the really aggrevating part of his red - too many characters make specifically red special tiles (Wolverine (twice), Daken (twice), Psylocke, Punisher, Doom), or outright destroy red (Human Torch (twice), Sentry). Add in special tile spammers like Storm or Falcon and the fact that goons don't make matches, and Matt just gets the short end of the cane.

I prefer Nick Fury's trap version - if opponent matches, every trap created goes off. If you match, do half damage with the one trap you matched.

Suggestions?
3* Daken is worth leveling. 2*, not so much. Not only is he significantly weaker, but 2* Daken is all over the place in PvE, so you end up not being able to use him even if you want to.

If you have the HP to spare for shields, it's worth getting some Steve covers if you're doing well in your bracket. Be aware, though, that you lose placement by people scoring more points as well as being hit. Shields only prevent the second, not the first. You're in the part of the game where gambling HP is a serious decision, so make sure you're factoring in all the possibilities.

I would say focus on your 2*s, but there's no harm in trying to add covers to 3*s you already have, especially that higher placement gives you more ISO/HP.

Since I only have 1 cover in Cap**, should I just go ahead and sell him?
As for 2* Cap, I would say he's okay to send to the chopping block if you only have one cover. Again, I would only sell him once you need the roster slot - no telling who gets boosted in the next PvE.

This did not happen to me. Just double checked. Haven't started the current subevent yet, though, either.

The node that opens the subevent is called Special Equipment. It's the bottom right node of the upside down U in the middle of the main map.

"Special Equipment"? Upside down U in the middle? Are we still making Daredevil's junk jokes or are you for real?

Anyways, you leave Daredevils "node" out of this mister! You're about 2 steps away from setting off a trap tile!

I definitely dont want to hear about how his node opened up anyone's "subevent" either....so dirty.....

That happened to me too yesterday, so I redid them. It's happened to me in other events before, where the game suddenly forgets my progress in that first event tab.

 
Ugh yeah I had to replay all of the initial event's nodes. That was BS. I barely have time as it is to play right now and so that was wasted time I could have been accruing actual points. Dumb.

 
Hey man... I recall a time back in the day when another certain someone missed a subevent....
This is going to be the first PvE in a while where I'm not going to finish in the top 3 for our alliance (thanks to some randoms, it looks like).

But you are correct. I miss subs from time to time. I am much more likely to miss a PvP altogether. This happens far too often. I try to Broly it, and end up Gilbying it (Steam/Bundle thread watchers know what I mean).

Haha same, I have missed probably like 10 PvPs completely in the past 5 weeks or so. Multiple times I randomly remember like 20 minutes AFTER it is over. Oh well!

 
Good point.  I could have had nothing but 2*s and chars that are already cover-maxed.  Was still hoping for maybe *two* usable covers.

Before they patched the drop rates/ guaranteed 3* from 10-packs there was a point where I got like 3 different 10 packs over a set time and each one ha at least 3 3*s!

 
Doc Oc skillset seems very promising.

Am a bit bummed about this event... in the Deadpool event, I was able to do really well in my bracket, pulling two covers for Punisher by being sub 25. And then I pulled his green cover out of a Heroic token from this event (the 4000 pt reward), which was very cool.

But I have not broken 100 once in this event. I am thinking it is because it is a brand new character, and everybody (or, at least, those who care), are frothing at the mouth to get him. That, and they raised the 2 cover bar from Top 25 to Top 20, and removed the second 2nd-cover reward rank altogether. Hopefully, we as an alliance can pull together to get under 100 to get the Green cover for all, and hopefully I can stay under 150 to get one on my own. Then again, that would be one more "useless 1-cover 3* char" on my roster. Although I have a sneaky suspicion, and you all would know better, that he is going to get powered up sometime next week...

In this regard, I am happy that the "3rd place" Ock's cover is an attack skill, since it sucks have a black 1-cover Hulk...

"ARRRGGGGHHHH!!! Here's a single green tile! Take THAT!!!!" :boxing:

I would have been thrilled to have at least gotten an X-Force! Especially now that he is relevant and usable!
I was actually going to mention this today. My Sex-Force (Hey I cant help it they used the cover for the Sex + Violence run!) Is steadily reaching the 150s. You talk about nerfing for the best. Can we even call it a nerf? Whats the opposite of nerf?

Anyways, I usually pair him up with Steve Rogers and you talk about a good couple. Only overlapping power is yellow and hell Id prefer that for Wolverine any day. I mean its fun to make the opponent choose. If I destroy the countdown I lose health, but if I dont destroy the countdown then Wolverine gains all his health back. Its like a lose lose for the enemy. Somehow my yellow is at 5, so I get the Max damage and tiles destroyed, which may make a difference.

Only issue I have is I wish he made strike tiles. When pairing him & Steve up I look for a useable purple. Naturally I go to falcon, which usually balances things out. Falcons yellow mainly strengthens his purple & steve's blue defense tiles. Gaining blue for steve helps set off Redwing which is super helpful too. Then again I use Falcon a lot to pair with Punisher and Black Panther, as I feel he's a great support character.

I am really happy they changed X-force to being useable, for a 4* he deserved better. I mean hell he couldnt hold a candle to patch, now I wonder if he's on par if not better. Mostly now he's not just something to have bragging right on, which makes me wonder if they'll change bag lady?

 
Oh, and have you seen the Heroic Lightning Rounds going on right now? Sheesh! Brackets of 100,000??? I was thrilled when I pulled Top 2000 out of the BSGW one. 140 ISO... yay! Same reward as doing one round...

Do they usually have x3 LR tokens for the top spots in lightning rounds, or is that better than normal?

Ugh lightning rounds. Dont even get me started on those. These are things that Koju supports because of MMR or something so he can explain the benefits of them better than I can.

I'll stick to what I know and bitch and complain! :p

I just play them for daily rewards; if Im not at a point where I want to enter a pvp or event. When I do play I usually play enough to get the standard token as well, so 50 points. I did attempt to try to play a lr one time it was 2-3am cst. So no one was really on, but it was still highly competitive. top rewards are always multiple LR tokens. Even though I kicked ass I think I only got as high as winning a regular heroic tokens. IN the end to me, lightning rounds arent worth the effort you put into them.

 
Although I have a sneaky suspicion, and you all would know better, that he is going to get powered up sometime next week...
Absolutely. Next PvE will have required Doc Ock nodes. And there will be a PvP within the week, too. If we can pull off the top 100 for the alliance, a two cover version will be better than the loaner one cover version.

Stabby.

(Technically, buff.)

X-Force is considered top tier in the official forums. He's crazy powerful when maxed.

Actually, it doesn't affect your MMR much. There is really only one benefit to Lightning Rounds: ISO farming. Typically, I'll play any given LR to 109 (five seed team matches), which gives you two ISO progression awards, a standard token, victory ISO, and whatever ISO you get in placement. This is easy to do if you get the seed teams right as the event goes live. If you wait too long, you can usually get to 100 in three or four real matches.

The top tokens are kinda pointless in advanced rosters, and out of reach for the players who actually could use them. I fought my way to first place once, and the tokens gave me 2* covers. Won't do that again. I don't think LRs really have brackets - so top placement is hard to get and requires grinding fights nonstop.

Still, it's fun to roll with three 249s and wipe the floor with level 1 Iron Man with a simple match. And if you're looking to play for an hour and a half straight, it's a low risk way to deposit about 100 ISO per win.
 
Haha I love how this thread is at like 300 pages and then you look at every other thread here in the Android subtopic and it is a ghost town. : D

 
Looks like there are no more sub events but all the nodes in the main event have their points boosted. 2200 for the essential nodes.

Hopefully I should get that 80,000 token reward.  The Psylocke progression reward seems a bit out of reach.

Edit:

Man i regret selling my x-force since the "buff"  pretty sure I had at least one of his powers maxed! But he was totally useless before!

Huge fan of the special nodes in the final part of this event being goon nodes. Should be able to grind them down tonight as the event ends.

Wow, not sure what happened to yours, but my highest is only 1863, unless there is a 2200 hiding behind the Venom/Daken node.

And I was also hoping to snag a 3rd blue Psy cover, but with only a little over 11h left, and still 32,000+ points away, that is a pipe dream. My time-math was off, and I thought there was going to be more time at the end. Oh, well...

Here's hoping! Glad no more Sentry nodes. Ugh. One bad play on my part (not going for black for Hailstorm first and not targeting Bullseye to stop them protect tiles),and I got defeated twice during the run due to not getting in front of World Rupture and the eventual Sacrifice.

I only played one match last second in the Psylocke PvP but still got #125 so not too bad.

Great that the new PvP is Steve with Doc Ock rewards since I haven't done too well in this PvE I should be able, since I have a near max level Steve and already have the seed teams, to at least have a move of each for Doc by the end.

I played for 18 minutes, and was in 38th place. 3 minutes left and I started another round for 42 points, but my boss came around and had a couple questions on a new fee schedule, so I had to put it down. Would've moved me into the top 25 for a Blue Steve, which I needed. Oh well. I'll take the 4th yellow for now.

 
This game hates me.  Tried to sneak into the top 100 but was greeted by a Modern Storm and OBW that started to spam Heal/Recon/Hailstorm on turn 2 and every other turn was Heal/Recon.  Couldn't figure out who the hell they got enough to pull that off.  Should be getting my 10 pack after the next PvP.

Womp womp that stinks. I have actually ended up using his Yellow far more often than I ever did with his 2* counterpart however and when you do that you are like invincible hahah

I got to 66 after about 45 mins of play. Well, I think I was to 53, and then started to fall the last 15. Decided not to stress over the ISO and hp and be satisfied with the cover. 2nd Steve cover! w00t!!!

Would be nice to get two more Doc Ock covers, esp since they put his 3rd place green as top, so they got evened out, but I feel it will be another rat race since he is new. Crossing fingers!!!

18 mins only to #38?!? Dayum... :applause:

But isn't his yellow at 3 covers strong enough to knock most attacks down to 1? And at 19 AP, it's not feasible as a countdown stopper. It is a great yellow move when you can fund it. I'll give you that, because I love it, too. Just that blue at 5 is far more useful in a lot more situations.

OT - Anyone play Diablo 3 UEE for PS4?

It has a lot to do with what bracket you get stuck in. Sometimes you get lucky with placement like I did this time, and sometimes you get in the last spot of one that's been around a day. Them's the breaks when you gamble on late entry. I've found that if I start with 30 minutes or more left, I usually get screwed, and anything less than 20 (if you don't get the seed teams) doesn't give you enough time to compile enough points to win anything good.

Also, since I missed the seed teams, I went in with about an hour to go and cycled for teams that had beatable characters with low health(CStorm/MNMags teams) and worth lots of points (40+). That way, when I started to play at 21 minutes to the hour, I could score max points in minimum time.

Oh no totally having 5 Blue is priority and yeah at 3 you pretty much stop everything already at that point. I just mean that having it at 4 is at least beneficial in the interim whereas like how my Hood currently has 4 Black as I wait for another Yellow it does not difference for me ever since I am never effecting more than maybe 3 or so countdown tiles anyway with Intimidation. At least with that Steve Yellow yes you block everything when you initiate the move at only 3 covers but if one gets matched away at least then at 4 or 5 you STILL are fully protected since each one is that much more powerful.

And yes I played UEE a poop ton when it came out a bit ago but have not had the desire to play any game but Destiny since its release hahah Funny that I have owned Diablo 3 on PC release, then I picked it up on the PS3 a bit after the console release and then again on the release date for the PS4.

You can add me on PS4 either way though because my friends list could definitely use more people. I always used my ps3 for exclusives and then the 360 for multiplatform titles and so my friends list was puny. Now on the PS4 it is still just as puny haha I am sure I will hop back on from time to time.

I'm assuming Destiny isn't as friendly in Multiplayer as D3, in that lower players get scaled up to be competitive. Was considering renting it, but then I remembered that I'm horrible at FPS (well, not counting Counter Strike pre-Source and Halo 2 MP... I rocked those, and mostly because I logged 4+ hours a day with my roomies in college).

Wondering about Diablo because I want to level up faster. I'm at 32 with my Crusader and nearing the end of Act III on Normal. It's a cakewalk. Ladies Aid Picnic. Short-skirt girl at the bar after 5 drinks. Too easy.

 
Have you maxed to the highest difficulty you can be on ltrain? Levels you up faster and makes the game far more fun. Plus more gold and loot.

I honestly dont even remember what levels my guys are at. I have like I think a near max Monk and then a fairly fresh Wizard.

And yeah the multiplayer in Destiny scales in the sense of the PvE stuff because you grow as you play obviously but then you can always have high level friends help you on tough missions. The kicker is PvP stuff because while the guns and armors are all normalized, their effects are still... in effect haha. And so higher level weapons still have an overall advantage over lower ones. You can remedy that though by just waiting to play PvP until you are a higher level. As you guys know I have been playing the shit out of that game and I am in love with it. Like as I am typing this right now here at the office I am just counting down the hours until I can be back at my place Raiding it up with friends.

 
Ugh how can you guys play any new games?  Since joining this site & all kinds of contests I used to win; I have a huge ass backlog.  I think I have 10 years worth of games. I was looking through some old pics and this was taken (I cant believe it but) 3 years ago about.

392471138.jpg


A lot has come and gone, traded in and bought/won new.  Also thanks to games with gold I have too many digital games now. Havent played the discs and now I have a digital edition....Alan wake SE was sold off long ago when I won a GoD versio, I do know that. 

Just like look at my sig, Im playing Assassins Creed 3...Finally! Only played an hour of 1, have 2 from Games with gold, won revelations from a contest, and got 3 free from a glitch in China (dont ask).  I dont even know if I like the assassins creed series & now theyre at 4 and rogue is coming out? I have so many games in the backlog I think Im busy until the next xbox comes out.

Its just so weird to hear about games like Destiny, when I know I have Halo Reach & Halo 4 unplayed. I feel so outdated sometimes and it sad. Plus being unemployed you'd think Id have tons of time to catch up on the back log. You know when you CAN do something is totally different than how you feel when you CANT.  So I mostly read comics and watch Anime on Crunchyroll. I live a sad life.

 
I live a sad life.
I used to have a substantial backlog, and hell realistically still do especially if you factor my Steam's like 400+ library haha But no, recently I have been just trying to mass get rid of games since I, one don't have money (funded my PS4 and initial games all through selling crap) and two, plan on moving across the country so less shit I have the better. I figure if I havent played them by now and with how busy I am they just arent going to get played.

So now I am just REALLY focusing on only picking up games that I know for sure I will play right then, not have them sit. I really wanted to get Shadows of Mordor through Best Buy for the RZ cert and the discount and the preorder... but I know I wont get to it for a while so I resisted. It has been tough honestly only picking up the games I know for sure I will play, especially because over the many years here at CAG you learn to nab what you can at great prices but I have been strong!

I guess I haven't checked if I can play on any other difficulty or not. I just continue playing through the Story on Normal when I start it up.

I don't think I have the time to start Destiny. My single player/online console time is limited to 10-12 hours a week - after the kids are in bed and while the wife is at work. Definitely not enough time to invest in an MMOFPS.

Surprisingly, this thread has helped me in that regard. The less time I spend in the bundle threads, the less tempted I am to buy crap I know I will never play, or play for a few minutes and decide it sucks. Easier to save money for the games you actually want to play.

I feel like you could easily pick up Destiny though and just play an hour here and there. It doesn't really punish new players and it is not really a true MMO in the sense of a substantial time sink each sitting and getting past the initial hump. Only thing it may do, is you might absolutely love it like me and then you will just WISH you could be playing it more ; P

AND YES I agree. I pretty much check the deal page now in a broad check every morning and night to check for anything crazy but then focus on here and the Destiny boards. Since I am not hanging out in the deal threads as much I too feel like it is easier to stay a bit less tempted to buy everything haha

This is what I need to do & honestly Ive tried. I keep looking up trade in prices on Amazon and didnt realize the bottom has tanked out so bad. Although Ive got a lot for free or next to free, Im giving up a high end game for $1-2 of Amazon credit. Also not going through ebay again, thats how I ended up with enough money for a 360 way back when.

Just looked at my backlog again, You'd swear I was an assassins creed fan. I forgot that I won a copy of Assassins Creed Brotherhood as well as I won an assassins creed backpack. Of course playing Assassins creed 3 Im finding why I take so long playing games. Im running around the rooftops of Boston jumping around saying, "Im batman!" Then randomly killing people.... IDK it makes me laugh.

To be honest though, I had a PS1 & a PS2, somehow I just ended up with so many free xbox games I bought an Xbox 360. That and it was cheaper than a PS3 at the time. I really do miss my God of War and Ratchet and Clank games. Those are series I loved,

And yes I dont think Steam counts. When they offer 50 games for under $5 I mean everyone would end up with a backlog. My Steam is filled with games I'll never play. What do I use it for? My secondary MPQ account. Only because the bluestacks app is funky and wont play my main account on the computer right.

PS.How long before I can play the main character in AC3? I thought it was a native american not an englishmen.

PPS. Moving? Hey I am too! Just one state over, the south wont let me escape! At least I'll be back on the beach, kinda.

 
Just like look at my sig, Im playing Assassins Creed 3...Finally!
You've got me beat. I'm working my way through Revelations now.

I generally have a Pile of Shame of about a dozen games (gifts or bought on sale) waiting to be played.

As a rule of thumb, when the CAGCast guys all agree a game is amazing, I'll probably be playing it about 1-2yrs later.

After this one, I'll probably try Tomb Raider before moving on to AC3. Ah, the life of a cheapass gamer. B^)

Pft, hell if I know. I got so bored trying to play through AC3 in the beginning that I gave up. My gaming time is so limited and I was bored as hell with that first guy that I just gave up and havent played it since. Black Flag however was a HUGE surprise to me seeing as I havent truly enjoyed an AC game and played it through to completion since the original AC. I love Black Flag and will go right back to it once/ if I ever can pull away from Destiny.

And hell yeah! I plan to be right on the ocean in San Francisco : D

Lol tell me about it. I think if I had Tomb Raider Id jump on that. I played AC 1 years ago & after the first couple of missions I dropped it. Ive heard 1 is the worst & 2 is where I should start. Only reason Im jumping to 3 is because its on my HD & the profile I used to DL it Ive forgot it. So if the game ever gets corrupt I wont be able to DL it again....May make a copy & save on the computer hmmm.

I FINALLY did a run through on Resident Evil 5 and all its (Story Based) DLC. For some reason Assassins Creed is just sitting in my backlog, a whole damn series & I just dont care. Same with Mass Effect 1,2,3 just there. However Dead Space: 1,2,3 I wanted to play that & need to do a second run through on 3 for cheeves. Its just hard to know you have good games in the backlog that you do want to play, just not right now.

And hell yeah! I plan to be right on the ocean in San Francisco : D
Now thats funny. For so many reasons. I used to be on twitter a lot; so Id actually talk to some of the guys from Ubisoft in the marketing department. Ubi always has openings and their office is located in San Francisco. If housing wasnt so damn expensive Id go over there since I think they'd squeeze me in. So its crazy how coincidental you moving to San Fran & we're talking about Assassins Creed which is by Ubi.

(Just had to double check, didnt realize thats where Ubisoft NA was headquartered, now it makes sense! DERP)

Anyways MPQ must be boring today, we need to get back on topic!

FYI, I think AC3 will change protagonists after a couple hours.  From listening to the CAGcast the whole game may be a bit tedious.  If you can, might be worth skipping ahead to Black Flag.

Or if you want a cheap option - AC Brotherhood is well worth it for $16 on amazon.  Hearing the podcast guys talk about Brotherhood finally got me to try this series.

 
PS.How long before I can play the main character in AC3? I thought it was a native american not an englishmen.
A couple of hours until you get to run around however you like as Connor. Once you're done with Haytham, you get to play as a kid for a while. Then the game gets more funner.

As much as I had fun playing it, I was most disappointed with the historical portion of AC3 compared to the others. I've played each of the main games since the first one, including DLC. There are a lot of little issues that get in the way of enjoying the whole experience in 3, and most of that is corrected in 4 (which I consider the best).

All that being said, I finished all of them and felt like it was worth it.

Okay: Don't forget to play the new nodes in the main PvE! We are bouncing in and out of top 100 as an alliance.

BUY?!?!?!? Whats wrong with you man! Seriously though I have AC brotherhood as well, I just looked at the trade in Value ouch: 21 cents! I guess Id be more upset at myself if I actually bought any of these games.

I feel like AC3 is Metal Gear Solid 2-ing me in reverse. Oh God, does this mean Haytham is going to come back as a cyborg and have his own devil may cry/God of war style game? Assassins Creed Rising: Vengeful Revenginations!

*Edit* Once again its weirs how I do things. Ubi is having a sale on Xbox right now, seems like Im not the only one starting on AC3. Lots of other people saying AC3 sucks cause of the x amount of hours you spend as Haytham. Yep such hate for a character only leads them to become cyborgs in later games. *cough* Raiden *ahem* excuse me.

For the record though Kojima made Raiden as a huge FU to the player really moreso than anything and THEN people enjoyed him. You the player of the game wanted to be Snake in MGS2, you wanted to be like him and really be a badass. What they did instead was forced you to play as Raiden, who ALSO wanted to be just like Snake, thus personifying the actual player of the videogame within Raiden. They pushed it even further then by making Raiden in that game a pussy little bitch, whiny and weird and just overall a mockery of the players of the game itself. Yet despite that the game was of course still amazing and rated so highly and yet the very nature of the game was a middle finger to the player.

Almost like how Superman and his alter ego Clark Kent. He views humans as weak and ineffectual and so that is how Clark is portrayed. Kojima then saw the average gamer as just a whiny complaining shit and so he literally put that player in the game as Raiden who you were forced to play, experiencing the very personification of yourself in a game.

Truly brilliant.

 
Words were said, cocks were hard, lives were change, people cried.....
Broly for what you just said in the last post....all I can say is this....

So Thunder Chief, about that push for top 100. Hopefully we have that in the bag. What we're doing is basically kicking out the lower ranking people to get better ones. We let Broly be in charge of that mostly since he gets a "kick" out of it! <-- heh if you're a commander look what I did there!!!!!

Ovekill is on Business and Nm8or is Broly's friend, so the lucky winner tonight will be RAGNAR! or something like that Im not looking right now. They had a good run as a CAGvenger but their points suck.... To be really pissy Broly waits for the last minute when they think they're guaranteed to get a alliance cover, then kicks them! He's such a sadist! (True story folks, are you sure you really want to be a CAGvenger?)

Now can we get back on topic? Back to the issue at hand...
