wont be a new pvp until the new year since one every 2 weeks. unless im not understanding what they are saying, but i dont expect anything PVP wise until janFrom that Piecing Together MPQ article...
So there's another PvP right after where she'll be a featured character. Don't finish in the top 50? Enjoy the Christmas grind-fest. Thanks D3..

Yeah, I meant PvE. Edited my post. However, they won't take a break in the middle of a PvP season. That's not D3's style at all. So whatever break you're expecting, it's not happening. Elektra story event starts on the 23rd and runs through the 28th. PvP will be non-stop like always.
You're mixing up new characters and events. There are no new characters until next year, but there will be a constant sequence of both PvP and PvE events. At most, you'll see a day or so break between PvE events. With the new time slicing, maybe not even much of that.
we saw almost a week break between the last one and this one . (unless cause a new season was starting and that is why there was almost a week break)
at least the game lasted around 7 weeks for me. I used to pop on around ever 5 hours to keep up. after today though i mostly gave up on this pve. I doubt i will even make the 100k. Just hit 40k at the half way point. If i can get loki in the pve maybe i make it but really no longer care

Okay. Wasn't working when I woke up at 4 (dear god why) with one kid. went back to bed at 6. Now off to work at noon. I'll try again later.
I've played roughly 3 hours total in the PvE, and am sitting at 191. Trying to sneak into blue DD territory before the end. Would've liked Elektra, for sure, but really wasn't looking forward to grinding this event. Definitely won't be able to grind the next one. I hope the rewards are brown and smell funky.

I don't know what's up with this event. I'm not even getting anywhere close. Even letting the nodes recharge every 3 hours. I'm lucky to get into the 200s. I must've really picked Hell bracket. Our top alliance members have 100k, top folks in my bracket have 130k. 30k over our top guys, I know our Alliance worked hard so those guys must be insane. Which of course hurts me too.

Usually about 24-48 hours from when you left.
Supposedly only thirty minutes to an hour, based on the forums. But that was from March.
was able to jump back on the team thanks again. need to stop doing fast clicking. i was little shock that they did refund me the 100 i wasted on an upgrade. ended 72 in my loki ladder so finally can play in the loki topics
then again maybe not they jacked up the AI so high its pure luck getting past the first nod

i got almost 10,000 points just from the hells kitchen sub event. Seems like the sub event are splt into an easy and hard categlory. The other one barely featured characters over 100 and points less than 1000.

Cracked the top 100 even top 50 easily in the Loki tournament. Breaking top 25 seems impossible without 166 guys and an x force

Pulled a Groot from the tokens. (Standard token even). Now just to wait until the Sentry event is over so I can dump Loki and switch him in.
And of course, I also got a Blue daredevil from the tokens. Giving me 5 in that color. that also makes the reward for this pointless. (I'm stuck in the 70s. Can't seem to climb up to the top 50 for Elektra)

I didn't think I would, but I really like Loki's green - it actually feels fun, and you get some decision making in the gameplay. Should you protect the tile and potentially steal some AP, or should you match it because it's in the color you need? The interesting bit is that since you get the countdowns on the color matched, you have a good shot of getting that color back in the early game.
I couldn't crack a top spot in the Loki PvP, but I did manage top 25 for the two covers I really wanted. Now my Deadpool is 4/4/4. I don't find him much of a threat when I face him, so probably won't invest yet.
I am trying to finish top 10 in the PvE - fighting it out with like four other people for 8-12th place. Hoping the rubberband grind will help as I'm closing in to the end, but the scaling on the previous subevents was getting out of hand.
The token gods have been kind lately - been picking up a decent selection of recent character covers. Blade seems to be the most elusive for me, but I've been pulling Gamora and Rocket/Groot covers even from standards.
Oh, and yesterday I hit a new milestone - got X-Force to level 270. I feel like I've paid off a car.

PIECING TOGETHER MARVEL PUZZLE QUEST: ENEMY OF THE STATE
Quote:
"With D3Publisher releasing an all-new, all-awesome episode, Enemy of the State, and a brand new Survival Mode on December 23, you’ll have plenty to celebrate while sipping on eggnog in front of that open fire.
Marvel.com: Hey Joe, what do players need to know about Enemy of the State?
Joe Fletcher: Enemy of the State—the episode starts on December 23—is the 'Marvel Puzzle Quest' take on the classic story of the Hand’s brutal kidnapping and reprogramming of Wolverine. Of course, things work a little differently in the Iso-8 powered universe compared to 616, so the details are a little changed. But expect to see the likes of Elektra, Gorgon, Hand Ninjas, and an assault on the Xavier Institute in store for Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. to handle."

Just opened 47 standard tokens because I wasn't going to be able to reach top 150, and didn't care to grind for a useless progression reward. Here's the breakdown:
39 useless 1*
5 useless 2*
1 useless blue Steve
1 useless red Cap Marvel
1 green Patch that I could actually use
They might as well just stop handing out tokens for me.

you know i wanted to do that as well but then i end up opening them as soon as i earn them
always go i going to wait till i get like 50 tokens and open at once. but never make it pass 3 those who i have close to maxxed out what order should i fill if any all 2 stars (some will be longer fills since never gave them food)Dakken level 60
magneto level 54
black widow level 42
cap. america level 20
cap marvel level 40
is there any reason to really MAX out people if i have them high enough for me (thor and wolv) both are like level 85 and they take tons of Crystals to move them to next level

Barely making top 100 in the last events since leveling up my Xforce Wolverine to 147 and putting me in the next bracket. Once I get past 500 points in any PvP I'm seeing maxed 3 or 4 stars unless I use 1k ISO to skip and find a decent matchup.
I like his green cover specially when the CPU decides to cascade like hell on you. Sold my bag cover for the nth time to make room for raccoon/groot.

Yeah Im at that point too. Progression rewards are total crap. Not even a chance for anything really great with the event tokens. Prodigal sun revolves around powered up dark avengers. Thats just waht I need more of an even better chance to get a 2* Daken, Ares, or Moonstone. The only 3*s that you have a good chance of getting are Sentry (dont need) Doc Ock (not sure if I care).
This is almost as bad as the last PvE where top 50 got 4*. I didnt want/need her then. Didnt have the hp for another spot & didnt have anyone to trash. Although she was needed for the next pve, I still got Gamora from either a token or progression rewards or pvp. Then on top of that I got a 4* Thor from a heroic token, so she's already put into rotation.
Anyways to sum it up all this work for something I can eventually get in a token with some luck? I think I'll go with the luck.
and No Ltrain, you just need to open more tokens, eventually you'll be getting some Gold & that 1 x-force you get that you need from a standard token makes all the difference. Im sending you some luck right now! :bow:
(really theres no 4 leaf clover or something irish related?)
All three Wolverine variations have new art, except for the actual cover.

I could use both of those myself. To me I feel like patch is like sentry. They have moves that everyone uses or loves, I have mine leveled up to 100 but he just isnt as great as some of my other characters. Stormhawks implementation got screwed up somewhere. She's great at the 1* level but got lost in translation when bumped up to 3*. Out of all the lazy versions she feels the worst.
As for Deadpool, yeah we wont go into where he was a week or so ago, just scary....
sadly this new mode i think will kill the game. It will turn off alot of people and many will say to hell with this and just quit.. Hey it really screws over the people who just joined in the last few months (Like a post just said a lot of players just joined in sept - oct) if you dont have healers and the right badges your ed major
just another thing to allow the people to spend real cash and the vets crush the little guys .

like the storm nod you have to fight 7 AI people one after another after another. seems they have unlimited Red stones that allow them to cast a thing that does 200 to 500 points of damage if you dont match them within the countdown turns.
then the 2nd normal bracket you have to fight 12 AI people one after each (each stage has 3 people you have to kill all 3 people and then another 3 people come until you clear the 4 stages (12 people)
There is no healing between stages unless you have healers on your team your mostly
edthe 3rd node i opened looks like a normal 3 on 3 nod but only gives 135 pts. but by this time i was out of health packs and people since i just started in nov im mostly screwed on this event.
one nice thing is the nods seem to give you some exp even if you dont clear them BUT once you clear then if you go back and replay them you MUST CLEAR THE ENTIRE NOD to get any EXP.
got like 3000 top person has 8900 im in 98th spot blah i dont have elektra so that is going to kill me big time
my time is monday 6 so if it is every 36 hour
1. ends weds 6pm
2 end friday 6am
3 ends sat 6pm
4 end who know cause it should be monday 6am but that would only leave 12 hours in a 5th bracket
i might be able to get some pts in the first bracket but not playing much Xmas eve or day and that means round 2 is mostly
ed with 0 points . since you must play christmas to get any pointsand forgot got to love the force crashes where the game just closes and you lose all your points and hp

To clarify, each survival node has a set amount of waves. Each wave has a set amount of opponents you need to defeat. They can still only have 3 that you can target each turn, but there's a little counter by the enemies that tells you how many opponents are left in that wave. When you defeat one, another jumps in, until that counter is at 3 or less (since you can then target any of those 3, and no more will come in). When you defeat a wave, that counter resets to the new number of enemies for the next wave. The board does not reset, so any countdown, strike, attack tiles that are in place remain from wave to wave.
The red CD tiles Slide is talking about, they do X amount of damage, plus X amount of damage for each remaining enemy. For example, there was 1 wave that had 7 enemies. If that countdown tile went off before you killed any of them, and X=100, you would take 800 damage (100 + 7*100). They're cheap, so they lay down a new one every turn in the early stages, and it's a 4 count. Once you down a couple Hand jobbers (<---- that better stick!), those CDs are easier to deal with.
I don't think these sections are impossible without healers, because it is possible to get through them with only taking a minimal amount of damage
from the couple matches that Wolverine can make against you when he gets bumped into the rotation

My DD is now 5/5/1. I'd much rather a higher power count in red. I guess we'll see if he's actually usefull now. I had to sell of my Blue cover reward for the sentry event! Those last sentry nodes were tough. [SIZE=13.63636302948px]Once Steve (Cap America) gets his blue and red filled he's nearly unstoppable. It's just those two skills have such a high power cost.[/SIZE]
I dont think I finished all of them. I did get 70,000+ in the event so not too bad. Even though my standard tokens actually gave me more gold than the reward ones.
I picked the latest end time for my event. We'll see how that does me.

I played this on my secondary account and I have to agree. Playing on my normal account with high level roster yeah it was no problem. But my secondary account is on the 2* transition shuffle with many 1 cover 3*s that I just cant carry. I think I used obw/hawkeye/and thor or ares? I know 2* cap was powered up again & so was daredevil (who didnt see that coming? Lol "see that coming" cause daredevil is...moving on....)sadly this new mode i think will kill the game.

Anyways having the constant barrage of enemies was terrible, even the first node I had issues with. I guess for people with solid rosters or the old school gamers from day one will have an easier time but I do feel sorry for new people coming in on this event. It really does have the potential to turn them off.

I played on my main account. If you have a diverse and high level roster its not that bad. Its actually kind of fun. Once again MPQ takes the people that you hate or never play, boosts them, and reworks them to make them useable.
The point Im making is these survival nodes, where you face wave after wave of enemies. So looking at who's powered up: Daredevil, Modhawk, Stormhawk, Ms Marvel (AGAIN!!! Yes we freaking get it the devs have a chub for her!), and just so you dont forget him 2* Cap, which even powered up still sucks compared to Steve.
Moving on from 2* Cap who's getting more and more meaningless; try to put in ModHawk and Daredevil into your teams. I know 2 people that you would never use ever, especially together. Now to make it even more exciting, have their purple powers beefed up. Yes so you want 2 guys with a power color you never use aside from maybe OBW & Falcon, oh and that Loki crap that was forced onto you last pve. Makes the Survuval nodes even easier! Oh all those Hand ninjas making attack tiles? No Problem, Daredevils purple makes them disappear and kills hand ninjas in the process. Modhawk gives you extra attack when you make a 5 match. If you protect those countdown tiles; speed shot can take down at least 2 enemies per wave if not more. Oh and those reworked "trap" tiles? Lay down some of Daredevils reds and just match em. Its like a super attack tile for free, then it makes another one after you match it, rinse and repeat.
I hope that helps some people, I just gave it a whirl for the hell of it and damn it worked out. Still thats what MPQ does, they usually beef up someone to show how they really are useful. Its like Daredevil came full circle. He was released with trap tiles against goons and it was a disaster. Now he's reworked and is really useful against "Hand Jobbers" as Ltrain wants to make a thing.
I like the new event so far, but I have enough of a roster at this point to work through it. It's interesting having trap/strength/defense tiles carry over between waves, and makes having those around that much more useful. Like Tigger said, the updated DD is good for cleaning a board and doing damage in the process. Stormhawk is good for filling the board with attack tiles for extra damage round after round. I've been using Spidey some to throw down some defense tiles fast. Against the lower-level Hand, he can keep you from taking any damage at all, which is nice since they throw out so many countdown/trap/attack tiles that you can't really keep the board clean. Of course I've been ignoring all three of them and spent my Iso on Deadpool before the last tourney, so they are all under-leveled.
From the one match that I used Elektra, her red seems pretty good, the purple was useless in that match for me (no enemy strike tiles), and I don't think I activated black. Not too upset about not having her atm, aside from the required nodes, but it seems like not too many have her at this point.

Well, I do have 5 purple in my daredevil. So I guess he'll finally get some use.
Should hopefully get a red cover for him from the tournament.

Yep, I was shocked about it myself; until I remembered the description of the new purple and how it destroys enemy special tiles.
Fell asleep or forgot about the Deadpool tournament, ended up top 200 and got an Ares. Damn that sucks I was at least top 100 & was about to get a Red Daredevil, to which I have 5 already and thats pretty much meaningless to me. Why did I have to miss out on that blue?!?!?

and I cant forget my fun shits n giggles team apptly named the "Green Team" Hulk/GSBW/3* Torch. Hulk gets angry, GSBW uses deceptive tactics, Torch lays down Flame jet & let the fun happen.

- Daredevil- new red actually good. Decent damge (when boosted?) when you match it yourself.
- Rocket & Groot- Good for potential cascades, may destroy special tiles.
- Daredevil- Stun capabilities
- Black Panther- Defensive tiles
- Rocket & Groot- Offensive tiles
- Black Panther- Strike tile generation
- Rocket and Groot- Passive true healing
