Heads up   Nod 2 is only 24 hours NOT 36 like the first one

also if you dont have the women  dont waste your time.  her nods alone gives out almost 2500 pts per playthough that is more then all of the other nods COMBINED.  Talk about fucking people who dont have her over

Really not having Elektra is a serious Handicap. Her nodes will basically propel anyone into a higher bracket. I know thats normal but her node in the 2nd sub is a survival node & worth a crap ton of points. At least double any other node.

So remember how I always say people grind so hard to get a cover that pretty much they can only use for the essential node on the next event? Also how grinding for something that can be gained in a token makes it feel even less satisfying?

This happened from a event token:

15480359313_f85a856473.jpg


One token pull, essential character. Also was on a purple streak today: Loki & Daredevil. Didnt need loki, happy for Daredevil. I know my pull luck is above average but damn I felt like shit being in the top 300 on prodigal sun. Not even top 150 for a blue daredevil & yes I grinded away on that pve too.

Im happy I pulled her of couse, since having her makes the current PvE much easier in terms of scoring. However all of you who gained an Elektra from hard work, grinding, and putting in tons of effort, well this is a slap in the face. I guess thats why sometimes I dont push so hard anymore, I know eventually I'll just pull what I want from a token. And usually with event tokens they give you a higher chance to get the essential or powered up characters.

 
I liked the wave of enemies but the skill set those ninjas have are crazy. Hammer that hits you for 1k. I thought the hand ninjas were fodder.
 
Nice pull Tigger!  No Elektra here, so that Elektra-essential wave in round 2 is hurting me.  I did manage to get another purple Deadpool from a token, and another blue DD yesterday I think.

Merry Christmas everybody!

Those are pretty good pulls too. More whales for Deadpool is always good and I still cant get a blue for daredevil worth shit!

My sub ends in 2 hours, so christmas grind for me today. Merry Christmas all, and may all your token pulls be gold!

anyone know a way to get this to play on a kindle
Yeah, I play on my kindle fire HD actually.

First off you need to root the Kindle

Then Install google play store

After you set it up just Download and log in, end reult:

If you're feeling extra bold you can install a custom rom. I use Kinology myself because it works with both amazon & google. Most other roms make the Kindle into just a tablet & it cant use specific "Kindle only" apps anymore.

Nice! I fell asleep at the end of Prodigal Sun and missed my final push for a second cover, but I don't feel bad about anyone getting a cover through a token pull. I'm fine with the structure of the game - you either work towards a clearly defined goal (progression/placement award) or you spin the wheel and get lucky. I have gotten great covers both ways, and failed both ways.

ModStorm black is great, wipes out the goons quick Merry Christmas!
Agreed. I actually put some levels in her so I could team her up with Daken and Falcon. Her black is a little slow, but a few strike tiles and some Inspiration really does the job. The nice thing is that a flock of birds flying through a hail storm can pretty much disable every trap on the board.

Right now my favorite Survival team is Daken, Spidey and Falcon. It's all about the match damage and denial. I don't even use Chemical Reaction, save it for the stuns. Spidey actually gets to use his yellow when things get a little tough! The only issue is making sure you put Daken out front as much as possible (especially when Wolverine pops in and gets to immediately Adamantium your spleen). I used this team through three straight clears of the bugged Black Hole without issue, until I looked it up and saw I needed to break the loop myself.

And Daredevil was totally not on my radar (ha!) to take out for a spin. I'll throw some levels at him and see how I like him.

I started playing late, so missed the first subevent, but I found a low population bracket anyway. When I finish a clear, I'm in the twenties. Hoping to break the 20 barrier for the yellow Patch, but I'll take just the red to get him finally to 13 covers.
 
Got an Elektra token. UNfortunately the next slot costs me 500 HP. need to figure out  who to sell off in order to make room. Possibly Capt marvel or even Invisible Woman since she's outright useless.

2* or 3* Marvel? 2* I would ditch, since you will be able to get her back through tokens and PvP drops. 3*, I would compare against any 3* you only have one cover for.

I am hesitant to suggest IW, only because they went crazy when they reworked X-Force. If IW ever gets a similar treatment, you'll be wishing you never sold her off.
 
It's the three star cap marvel.... I only have two covers for her.

 same for mystique and maybe colossus.  But I actually like their powers where as Cap marvel....

Only two stars I have left are Mags, OBW and Storm. Reluctant to sell those guys off. They still have their uses.

FWIW, I FINALLY sold off my 1* IM35. I needed room for Elektra & for this event glad I have her. Anyways, way I figure it, I get enough standard tokens that I can create a new one if they ever make another powered up 1* event. Plus when was the last time a 1* was powered up? If you have any 1*'s just go ahead & trash them. I think I saw you had a Juggs and a Im35, or maybe I was looking at someone else.

 
Wow  wrong big time about nothing next week

so the event starts on the 30th and ends on the 7th.  9 day event. Would that be one of the longest events they ever had .  (though maybe  with team picks it will push it to the  7th?

so far only  1 round did  i make the top 50 to get  50 coins.  Though i was going to make it at the end of round 3  (was rank 30 with 15 mins left  ended in 52th  :(
 

Luke Cage will make his in-game debut on December 30th and will be earnable on January 7th. Cage stars in his own Versus match on January 9th.

 
Good point n I could trash one star iron man. Forgot about him. Thanks
going to be dumping my 1 star iron man (last one star i got) then probally 3 star hulk that sentry person and maybe ares (so i can keep 2 slots open)

anyone think this wolv. patch is really going to be useful (Past the next event even if he is needed)

 
Got 50,000 points in the Elektra event One more progression reward to go.

Also got a black cover from the last tournament (why isnt he featured in the next one). Making my Hulkie 5/4/3. One more cover to max him.

Things are going pretty well.

 
Got mine last night and only got a Yellow MStorm and Black Hood which was better than then what I got last season which was nothing
I just redeemed a 10 Pack, 1 Enemy of the state, 1 Dance of death & 4 Standard tokens. God, luck is shit The best thing I got was from 1 of the standard tokens & that was a green Loki. The 10 pack only had 2 gold covers in it and both of those were blue spider-man. At least 1 useable 3* I needed in the 10 pack wouldve been ok. Makes me want to try not so hard on the season rewards. Yes I do realize I have better than average luck with pulls and need to shut it, but c'mon a 10 pack should give at least 1 thing thats useful.

Prior to the 10 pack I got nothing from 30 standard, 4 Prodigal Sun, and 3 Enemy of the State tokens. Only reason I like play Season is because I can normally get a decent placement while PvE depends on bracket and if I have the essential character.

 
does anyone know if this tablet would be able to play this game

HP Stream 7 32GB Windows 8.1 Tablet (Includes Office 365 Personal for One Year)

also question it says  WINDOW TAB  can you play games on this. doubtful but could you download steam and play steam games on this

or can  you play  google play on it

Nothing decent from my Enemy of the State token awards. I am only about 10k away from the final progression award.

The fact that Patch makes strike tiles for the enemy as well does not inspire me to use him.

No idea, personally, but it should. I can't imagine the game is all that intense (resource wise) for the Steam version.

He works well when you run someone to mitigate the tiles, or against a goon squad. If he's leveled/powered up and his teammates are not, his red can be brutal depending on the colors out on the board.

His best friend is Loki with a maxed black, but Daredevil has been making moves to take his place. And I guess Elektra, if you get enough purple covers. Falcon can get invited because of Redwing, but that's too slow against named characters, and Steve could replace the tiles you can't match away if you collect red and blue first. Spidey and Bullseye get nods because they can fill the purple tiles first, and offset any strike tiles you miss. And if you don't mind taking some damage, just don't worry about the tiles and throw max black Hulk out there to take the hit and get angry, since your strike tiles affect that damage, too.

But yeah, Patch is designed around doing a lot of damage quickly before your opponent catches up.
 
The points in this event are crazy.  I just played the last survival node for 11k points.

I would also think Doc Ock would work well with Elektra/Patch.  Make tiles for the other team, match them to make your own attack tiles.  Not sure since mine is mostly ignored.

 
Anyone else having point issues? I know this event has been more glitched than others but it's noticeable again.
Nothing worse than beating a survival node for 7k, it counts down when you beat it but then go to the main node & it not on the leaderboard. Then go back into the sub & the points degraded because you beat it.
I'd rather have rewards glitches than points, I'm in the top 20 but barely. I get kicked to 23 every so often. Points not counting are hurting my push!
 
I had a couple nodes for 10k. Helped push me up to 90k. Now that I've got all the rewards and am sitting just outside of 150, what's the point?

I haven't got anything good from my last token rewards either.

You almost have to do Elektra's purple move twice to have it be effective. (once to make enemy strike tiles, a second time to steal them back at twice the strength)

And of course the reward for the Storm tournament is Falcon. But purple Falcon only to the top 5. (I already have 5 yellow and blue)

I'm seeing issues too, beat a 10k node, and the points don't show up on the main node. Not sure if they do eventually?

wonder if you can play steam games on this. It would be very nice if you could and could play the steam verison of it on the tablet. having a handheld steam system would make it worth the cash

of course i would grab the needed superstar from a token pull on the last day LOL

dont think you would be able to. i think i just wait for a sale on a tablet

I've been letting the SHIELD goon that makes strike tiles finish countdowns just so I have something to do with Elektra. I'm not feeling her red, either. Trap tiles are too fragile, and on the color that gets overwritten the most by the Hand (nevermind other characters).


Unrelated (sorta), if you are having trouble with a survival node, remember that damage boosts last through the entire sequence. Throwing some ISO for a 50% damage increase on your primary colors is a good investment.

I would expect Patch to be required.

funny thing is i saw that 3 star wolv is powered up and i was like hes not a 3 star already forgot about patch LOL

 
Once against the points and progression rewards were WAY off. Top players in our alliance had 200,000+.

I had 125,000 and finished about #130. So, nearly double the final progression reward and still only the bottom three star cover reward.

Looking at Luke Cage's power set. Holy shit. He has a passive Red that makes a protect tile every turn?

Looking at the top player in my Storm Tournament (with 2100 points!!) it looks like he already has every character and every cover. So why the hell is he still playing? There's nothing left to win.

I don't like the simulator event as much. Points seem pretty low so far as well; and in the fact that I'm working over the next three days I probably won't  play much

seems that we are in the same bracket. Got my 300 pts and token for a 2* OBW.

Elder,

At least try to the 1k and 2k ISO nodes in the simulation

I think the points are always low at the start, usually the Simulator is a real grind. I was worried when I joined, I was #984 in my bracket, but I'm in the top 50 for now. Hopefully I can hang on for a Luke Cage. We still have 4 people that haven't started and the alliance is in the 150's. I dumped my remaining Iso into Patch so he's decent, but he's 4/2/1 and boosted to 179 at the moment.

 
It's way too much of a grind. I've been doing only the essential nodes and ignoring the ones on the periphery. (except for the easy round)

Hopefully over this weekend I can play more. I finished top 50 in Hard last time, and of course got nothing but another two star for my token.

Season placement + ISO/HP. It's the problem with seasons - anyone shooting for a top season placement (either personal or alliance) has to score well even in the events they have all the rewards for. The ISO/HP is a nice bonus, but I suspect the scores wouldn't be skyrocketing, as the return on investment quickly dies in a one-event vacuum. One could say they probably have everything the season has to offer, but they might be doing it for the benefit of the other alliance members or just to see how well they do.

Also, there is a new trend in trying to score crazy high in PvP by the top players. The 6000 barrier was cracked in the Storm event, possibly higher.

 
6000?  Wow.  I may have managed that in a season or two, but I'm under 4500 this time.  I could use another green Patch in the sense that he isn't maxed, but it also is the cover I'd least like.  Oh well, grinding the season is taking the backseat to see where I can finish today.

 
finished the season with around 3300 points not sure if that is good or bad for something with just 2 star players and only been here about 2 months . how do they expect people to move to 3 stars when they never give any good covers  :)

hopefully top 50 in easy and  top 10 in hard this time should be a lock (got 19k in hard  and  10th place only had 6k) with less then a day to go.

really no reason to grind for the major cover since  everyone rank 20 to 150 gets the same awards  besides the crystals (even the HP is the same) 

first 3 tokens i got  was  1 storm and  2 aries  (Is he worth ranking)   main team is a maxxed out thor and wolv 2 star.

friend is tempted to help me and  spend real cash on this game and start buying covers for  wolv x force  (it be like 10 bucks a cover) and goes  spend like 60 bucks in real cash and get a good person. Im like with  massive 4 stars coming this year  yea maybe last year it would been worth the cash to invest in him but i say within 3 to 4 months there will be tons better.  Love to get a 3 star thor i would max his butt big time with hitting like 4k to everyone.
