Marvel Puzzle Quest Discussion Thread

There is some element of sharding in PvE. I have a Steam account which barely has anything so I can look at events without joining them. I joined a PvE with that account, saw the bracket was mostly empty, and tried to join with my main account. My main account ended up in a mostly full bracket with the leader significantly ahead of me. That was painful.

That being said, I think the bands are large - new or casuals in one, everyone else in the other.
how can you look at events before you join them.

 
I've somehow started a Heroic 10pack streak.

Last season, I pulled four 3*s plus Fury.  Just now, I pulled six 3*s (2 usable) plus a usable 2* Ms Marvel.   :D/

Just wish there was someway to share those extra covers!

Have a second account. Usually I only use it to see subevent information.

Nice. I may despise you for eternity, but nice pulls. I've had too many 2* ten packs.
 
I just got my heroic 10-pack. 1 gold and it's a yellow Falcon, which I already didn't need as a progression reward. I wish we could share them within the alliance. It seems like such a waste for 500 iso. The only usuable cover I got was a yellow Ms. Marvel. Now I have more Iso to use on somebody.

Also, I finally set up a fake Facebook account to share the rewards. Who do I need to add?
Of course me too. https://www.facebook.com/downsouthtigger

I must say Im actually going to get a 10 pack this season, after not the past couple; but 3* drops or higher have been better than average. Im including tokens, standard, heroic, and event also from daily deals. Sure I get my fair share of crap 2*s but its noticeable how many gold covers pop as well.

It also seems like I go on a color kick as well, if I get 3*+ covers they run in a particular color. Deadpool & Nick Fury were both purple, Colossus, X-force, Groocket were all yellow, Hulk & Doc Ock (yes I finally got a 2nd cover) were green. The powers at be are also telling me I need to work on my MN Mags. Anyone else getting his covers (usually purple) as much as me? He's like the new Moonstone. Im not just talking about from pulls either, I get him as battle rewards A LOT!

 
why are we giving each other facebook anyways  (might of missed the first topic) not sure whats going on :)

Man i really need that thor from last night. when the nods being locked its going to be 99.9% chance wont make it into the top 150

You can send stuff to people on your friends list on Facebook if your game is linked. Even on days I do not play Puzzle Quest I usually log on and have a couple batches of ISO or recruit tokens or boosts from everyone when they were playing.

 
I already have my account linked up to the real Fb account. It seems to pick fb friends randomly.

Pve essential nodes are Thorina and Blade.

Yeah mine is linked to my real account which sucks because I have friends that don't play anymore but I am not about to remove them from my FB because of a game haha I wish there were a way to not get certain people as options. I tried always unchecking them but I still get them as options unfortunately.

Do I have to claim the rewards on Facebook, or do they show up in MPQ somewhere. Sent requests to everyone I think. Blank profile under the name Jim Lahey. 1 friend so far! :D/

They pop up right when you get them in game and you just click accept. Super simple. Just saw your request haha accepting now

 
wow went to bed last night rank 88 got up 229
I'm hanging around 150, but I only joined this morning. I was hoping for a miracle Thor pull when I got to the event token, but no such luck. If I can stay in the top 150 after round 1, I'll be happy, but then I need to focus on the Psylocke tourney until that ends, then jump back in to round 2 of PvE when my health packs are replenished. I'm hoping Thor isn't required all the way through. The token features Thor, Blade, and Beast, so I'm hoping he's required somewhere instead of her, but I doubt I'll be that lucky.

 
I'm slightly above gravel in the mid 100s.  (Top 15 in Psylocke tournament though. Havent even needed to shield yet)

My first Rocket/Groot token gave a MN Mags (Minnesota Magneto), so that was disapointing.

Gamora doesnt even seem like that exciting of a character. She has a green stun which seems nice, but her red is just a basic attack. This is the first new character in a while whose moves have only one function. Guess they're running out of ideas.

 
Got my season 10k pack - afraid to open it. 

2* Red Thor

2* Red Cap

2* Red Wolv

2* Pink Bullseye

2* Black Torch

3* Red IM

2* Yellow Wolv

2* Black Daken

3* Red Colossus

2* Red Hawk

Beast is essential for the next event node.

My Rocket and Groot token from the sub-event gave me a yellow Colossus.  First usable three star in quite a while!  I haven't shielded in Psylocke either.  Been attacked a couple times, won one, lost one.

Are we in the same bracket elder?

beast replaces blade but 2 thors in round 2.

was rank 140 when i got home (guessing that was the finish at round 1. what i could live with, but i think my hopes of top 150 are over since round 2 i dont have any thor or beast meaning no nods and those nods give almost double what the normal do. hopefully many dont have beast in mine but that is holding out massive hope. Think im just mostly wasting my time.

 
Man, this is a tall order with just using Beast.

Holding steady in Psylock @ 80. Going to wait for more time to to push. Definitely want a blade cover.

Nah. I have 599 points, and you have 600. (As of 1335). I don't see you in my bracket. Holding steady at #15.

Using Psy, Falcon (really wish I had a Bird Strike) and Hulk.

 
looks like a lot have not got home to play yet or something.

This is what my rd2 look like so far   140-64-87-67.  im sure i be under 200 before morning.

Cant remember does the last nod require certain people or only the first two (I think only the first two.) 

Meaning if  im around 150 at the end of nod 2 (LOL YEA RIGHT)  if i play like hell i should make it into the 150 at the end.

I'm using the same team too. Up over 700 points, which put me at 20. I'm assuming I'll finish top 100 at least, but top 25 doesn't look great at this point.

Can't break 500, everytime I get close, my team loses and lose around 50 pts.

Next PVP is Thor with Doc Ock as the prize.

Mine closed last night at 10. I had 717 points which was 30th. Once I hit 700, I was seeing all 166/166/200ish teams, so that was about as far as I was going. My Blade is 1/1/0 now and level 43!!!! :whee:

 
right now  ranked  74 total  and 112 in 2nd round in story. If the  Total is around 160 or so at noon and there is no required im going full out on the last stage. if there are required  i may  just give up

I didnt shield over night and dropped 100 points and about 30 places. Climbed back up from 90 to 30th place.

But the big boys definately came out to play. Top 10 in my bracket all have 1100+ points. Nearly every team has a 160-200 level X Force Wolvie. (Who, if he doesnt get off surgical strike isn't that dangerous)

Maxed out 166 three stars on every team as well.

At least with the purple Blade cover I'll have all three. I'll work on leveling him and Black Panther up now.

Blade's back to being required in the final sub-event for Gamora.

 
New PVE node is up. 1d 10 hrs

Blade and Thor Essentials.
would of loved to got the 3rd nod bracket as my main bracket. 4th place so far that is until people get home and crush me.

Just noticed this. Like they didnt screw up the VS side bad enough now its going to story mode.

AND What even more sucks no time off. since a new story starts FRIDAY BLAH

one nice thing is now maybe i can get an end time around 7 or 8pm est instead of having to get back up at 11 just to play

We wanted to give you a heads-up that selectable Event end times testing for Story-based (PVE) content is set to begin with Iso-8 Brotherhood, arriving Friday, December 05, 2014

Man, my PVP ends @ 4 EST, been keeping on eye on the ranking.

I am shielded...in the past 5 min, been going from 88 to now 85....are people being greedy and losing matches?

 
So the 1 hour PvP thing was a disaster this time around. Was 318 to enter my bracket, but I only got one match against the seed teams before hitting teams that are equivalent to mine. In other words... teams that hit one good cascade and cause me to use half my health packs after one match. And the climb was slow... so I got to 300 for my token and called it a day. Sucks because I really wanted more Blade, but I'll take the black Colossus I pulled instead (for leveling at this point, but... YES!).

MNMag and Johnny Storm are great in this PVE

Yep, I saw the 6am end time was only 30 minutes out and took a shot at it. Basically nothing but seed teams & after the 1st battle I saw no movement I knew I was screwed. Top guy already had over 1k points, not happening in 30 minutes I know that. I barely squeezed in the 300 points for an tournament token. Seed teams are great for an easy 20 pts with no retaliation, but it racks points up slowly.

So I guess everyone really was focused on the PVE last time around so that took emphasis off the PVP. Looks like we'll have to come up with a new strategy. Maybe back to the coming into a pvp with 12 hours left? All I know is it was rough & I shouldve just stopped at 2 standard tokens than get the MN Magneto I didnt need. Oh as for my tournament token? MN Mags, He's now becoming my new bullseye.

Also with the luck Ive been having I just want to say if anyone is new & looking to build up their 2*s, play pvp. Whether it be an event or the simulator I get a lot of 2* covers from pvp. Everything from Johnny storm to Bullseye Ive gotten them all. As Ive said Ive been drowning in MN Mags lately, I actually have gotten enough from PVP drops to make a 13/13 MN mags. Although they have switched up some when I see the silver shield icon, Ive been getting iso now instead of covers.

 
Seems to be a common sentiment, so I'm starting the Thorina PvP now.
I've said it before, if the last hour/minute tactic works, it's great, but if it doesn't, there's nothing you can do to fix it. I generally prefer the guaranteed one cover I can manage, and the outside shot at 2, which is better now that they've allowed multiple end times. I'm at 30k entering the last node, so I should be able to grind out Blade. I was also sub-100 at the end of node 2, so I might be able to get Gamora without Thor. :pray:

 
Is it me or is the PVE going by pretty easy?

Currently ranked 69 and the Alliance is 149

I'll post my full 10 pack pull here to make others feel better about their pulls.

3x green astonishing wolv
2x yellow astonishing wolv
1x red astonishing wolv
2x black obw
1x black bullseye
1x red 2* ms marvel (the only useful one)

I really need some 3* covers, preferably for characters I already have. I feel like the game is trying to bait me into buying powers at 1250 HP a pop. Joke's on you MPQ.

seems they jacked the points up early as well. usually its not until the last few hours. that last nod yesterday when it first started was like 690 now its almost 1000 so far 46 overall and 24th in nod 3 i doubt our team makes it to the top 100

I though someone said before this team always made it to the top 100?

and what the hell is deadpool points for

Yeah like HuBU said we lost people and then my scores lately have not been helping at all. I have had a shit ton going on and then on top of that I have had a terrible virus all week and just feel like absolute garbage. Plus then this event I started at the total wrong time and screwed up my rubberbanding horribly and am not getting nearly enough points per node. I was so pissed that I was like eff it fine, $20 with this promo gets me enough for a 10-pack for Thorina maybe I can get her and at least use her nodes. WRONG WRONG WRONG. I got ANOTHER Blue Psylocke which I have had maxed about 3 blue covers ago and then a Red 3* Marvel, who I never use anyway. Awesome.

Plus if the new PvE timing thing happens and completely screws with my rubberbanding I very well may just be done with the game unfortunately because I just do not have the time to commit to this game like I had before and so rubberbanding and getting the timing right has been the only way I have been keeping afloat.

All that crap out of the way, Deadpool points are the best. When you do Deadpool's purple, it asks if you want to use your Deadpool points (if you have enough). If you do use your points you instantly kill everything on the other team regardless of health or anything. It is literally an instant win button. Best to store up those points throughout the weeks and then use those in conjunction with your boosts to start out already with 6 purple AP and so literally a few matches in you can win even the hardest of PvE nodes. Or if you save enough up I suppose you could literally just annihilate your way to the top of a PvP event too.

yea i dont see why the hell they even put rubberbanding in a game like this. I Mean if someone logs in and plays like crazy for the first 2 days of the event and then gets sick or cant log on in the final day they go from top 10 to 150 or lower. That last story thing with THOR as the reward i played about every 5 hours or so and was ranked 21 in my bracket total with 6 hours to go Fell alseep sunday night to wake up around 2am just to find out people got ruber banded and i eneded up in rank 59. Boy was i pissed.

That and they push way too much crap. A story event right after one another and the VS thing. I was hoping after this story event They would give us some type of break but NOPE new story starts friday.

Well...what if I was sick the beginning and got better at the beginning. Rubberbanding is my friend no?

Yeah I am all for rubberbanding obviously. It is part of the game and has been for over a year and so to take it out now it bullshit.

If you want to start early great go ahead you get to play with everyone else who started early. You can play a lot and earn all of the progression rewards as well as all of the boosted ISO possible rewards for each node. You however have to really work for the overall rewards because you are playing against others who are playing a ton as well. You want to start later? That is also great. You have to have a crazy amount of time then as you start later because it is like compiling it all at once. I think it is a common misconception for those that don't utilize rubberbanding. I start late yes but then those days I start late, that is like all I do. If I start the last day of the event, you can guarantee I am playing for about 8 hours that day probably to make sure I can get a high score. This way also you run the risk of not getting the progression rewards and losing out on the sub event rewards and everything.

There are pros and cons to each and we have all of that information up in the OP with all of the links. I am bummed you got screwed slide, but that is just the game hah But now who cares because it clearly wont be 'the game' anymore once they finish with all of these custom end times and shit.
