Marvel Puzzle Quest Discussion Thread

I have been super swamped. I called in sick Thursday and Friday and have been literally working on my finals non-stop like a madman for three days straight stopping to eat and workout pretty much and that is it o_O

That being said I have missed most of the event. Womp womp.

I can use the same as you Gravel this week. Nice to see them putting in Cyclops, wouldn't have expected that so soon! He is still completely unusable for me even with that cover but nice nonetheless! : P I don't even have any Red either for him so that is an extra bonus. I had to look at what my Doc Ock was even at because I never have touched him. After that Yellow for Colossus he will be just 1 away from being power maxed for me. He will be sitting at 5/3/4. All of his moves seem pretty strong but looking at it now I did not realize his Black hurt the teammate? I do not remember that. Seems like maybe 5/5/3 since his Black is good but is largely dependent on who you have him paired with to throw. What do you guys think?

I was thinking 5/5/3 too. Red and yellow work well together, and while the black is good, it depends on who you throw and what powers you activate. It looks like the extra black speeds it up, but doesn't reduce the damage you take or increase the additional damage on the other team. I'm still quite a ways from having to worry about that though.

 
I tried reading through the PvE guide and I'm confused.  Can someone who understands better answer this?  I figured since I don't care much about the rewards from the current PvE, I would try and play that way to see how it turns out.  I jumped in this morning around 5:30 AM.  Played through each node once.  8 hour refresh would put my next playthrough around 1:30 - 2 PM based on the node timers.  From the information in the guide, it sounds like there is some more points that waiting a little longer on the nodes will give me.  The sub closes at 6 PM, so there isn't time for another refresh.  Am I better off doing another one-hit clear for each node around 2, and then grinding near the end of the sub, or waiting until around 4, and grinding everything down at that point to maximize rubberbanding and whatever else is in effect?

 
Good question that has no one answer, in my opinion.

The key piece of a PvE optimal strategy is that last grind in each sub (how long is up to you - an hour is usually sufficient for anything other than top 2 for a 3* repeat or top 20 placement for a 4* intro). If you hit the refreshes at the interim 8 hours, you have the maximum starting point for the grind.

Rubberbanding messes with this strategy, but only if you aren't already placing well or the community as a whole is doing much better than your bracket. Lately, I have not seen the crazy points unless I have a large gap of play time after starting.

The choice sort of boils down to that last refresh cycle before the sub closes:
1) Hit the refresh at the 8 hour mark, and then grind in the last hour(s) after letting the points recharge as much as possible.
2) Skip the last refresh, and wait until the last x hour(s), with the plan of rubberbanding increasing the value of the nodes.

The only thing is, it's pretty much impossible to predict which one is better, because it's hard to gauge the community performance and how aggressive the rubberbanding is for a given event. However, depending on where you hope to place and how much time you have, gambling on having boosted values will probably be sufficient for a mid to upper tier placement award, depending on the other players.

Me? When I can, I use the first option. If someone is doing better than me in the bracket (and I didn't screw something up), it's usually because they kept the refresh schedule better than I did and/or started the final grind before I did. I can't remember the last time some random player leapfrogged over me from below the line.

Note also that early grinding before the last refresh doesn't work as a placement strategy, it's only of value if you know you are going to miss the next refresh by hours and don't expect to get a good boost when you can play next.
 
Next round of DP daily rewards are up:

"Covers for this round will be Black Panther (?), Captain Marvel (Red), Ironman (Red), Magneto (?) and Thor (Red)"

Bad week for me, since the only usable cover will be Magneto.  He's 4/4/4, so whatever color will max his covers for me.  Not enjoying the heroic dark avengers event right now either.  I hate the limited rosters.

They also announced a new policy for Iron Fist buyback.

Hello everyone,

We wanted to let you know about our new buyback policy regarding newly-released MPQ characters.

If a new character has been added to the game, and changes have been made to that character's abilities within 30 days of the character's initial release, we will be offering a full Hero Point and Iso refund for any covers that were purchased directly or gained through Comic Packs.

*Please note: The increased buyback goes into effect only after the changes are live in-game. If, after playing with the newly-balanced character, users are unsatisfied, they can contact Customer Support. After verification and the player has sold the character, CS will refund in-game any additional Hero Points and Iso that was spent on the character.

*Also note: This additional refund does not apply to progression or placement rewards earned through PVE & Versus Events. The normal increased buyback, set up for any updated character, already takes these into account.

Using Iron Fist as an example; after the changes to Iron Fist go into effect (planned for 3/23/15), play with the character for a bit and try out the updates. If you are still dissatisfied, submit a ticket to Customer Support in-game (gear icon/Help/Contact Us) or here and be prepared to sell off the character. CS will provide you with a full Hero Point and Iso refund for any covers that were purchased directly or gained through Comic Packs and used to level the character.

I didn't buy any covers and wouldn't plan on selling him anyway, but they are doing something for the people who complained since he was so new.  Looks like the others will be the usual boosted price, but no more than that.  Not sure if it's just a coincidence, but I haven't pulled any MN Mags since they announced the nerf.

 
Yeah this week is lame for covers. Bound to happen some point though haha

My new goal is to bring all of my floating average 3*s to 140. I have my A-Team of 8x 166ers and then now I want a full 8 man B-Team of 140s. So far I only have Dr. Doom at that point and am now focusing on Falcon who is I believe 123. The others will likely be Torch, Colossus, Punisher (eh maybe he sucks) Daredevil, Captain Marvel and Psylocke.

Also elder, it has been over a month and a half since you have logged in even... The casual alliance was to play casually like we said, not stop the game for months and still get a poop ton of rewards; that isnt really too fair. We cannot boot you since DS promoted you so if you are done playing please make room for people who do play still!

Apparently, the (?)s are the second cover that will be given away for those characters, so they might be the actual second color for each, a second copy of the first color, or a color determined by the usual random number generator. Also, Iron Fist and Ragnarok were the only 2 three star characters whose first covers weren't given away in the DP dailies, so a lot of people are waiting to see if they are added in the next cycle.

 
Holy Sh!t!

I finally loaded up the PvE and played on that node with Prof X and he is AMAZING. He just murders from behind the lines. Too bad I probably will be bored with this game before I ever have a remotely usable one!

My Xavier is 1/1/1, and even that is pretty good when he's boosted in this event. A few more purple would make him more Falcon 2.0, but even yellow and blue are pretty decent at one cover. He's probably top tier PvE, but crummy in PvP because the AI won't benefit from his match 5 or use his invisibility right.

I doubt I'd pay for covers, but I will definitely go for PvP 1k progression awards for him.

Speaking of, I gotta figure out how I can get the 1k progression in the Punisher event tonight for that Thor cover, having not actually started yet.
 
Koju and others,

How did you guys get your 4* covers? Other than lucky tokens and daily rewards, were most gathered in PvE or PvP? I know I shouldn't really be expecting 4*s when I've yet to cover-max any 3*s, but I've been maxing myself out on PvEs and haven't managed to top a bracket. Is the general strategy to gather a good team of 3*s who can compete in PvP and possibly get to the 1000 point progression reward? Should I tank a few events in a row or almost exclusively join late in both event types? Any advice or personal experiences are greatly appreciated? I'm currently on day 142 with 8-10 3*s around 100-110. In PvE events without a new character release, I get top 10. When I try, I finish with 500-600 points in PvP which lands me an occasional top 100.

It's a combination of various methods. While I have gotten a few through tokens, it's just not common. Also, you will eventually get one of each color through daily rewards - I have already gone through Invisible Woman, X-Force, Nick Fury, and Devil Dinosaur, and I've gotten one Thor so far (expecting the other two within the next few weeks, yellow is in 8 days).

Right now, the "easy" way to get a 4* is through the top progression of a PvP event. I put easy in quotes because it's only easy in that you don't have to place better than someone else, you only need to play the game and possibly manage shields (although I managed without the last time). The down side, obviously, is the 166 and 270 walls - if you don't have characters that can consistently beat the top tier PvP teams, it is not going to be easy. I started being able to get the progression award once I had some of the better 3* characters maxed. My original progression teams were LazyThor/Daken or LazyThor/Hood, now it's pretty much X-Force plus Daken/Hood/Goddess.

The other side is placement. For PvP, back in the days of no time slices, it was easier to jump in with about an hour to go and place really well. I used to do that, and about 25% of the time managed to get a clean bracket and manage a top placement. Now with the slices, the odds are worse. If I try it on an event I don't care about, I typically join around #400. I would say one in ten I still get lucky and manage a relatively empty bracket and can manage it. But again, this usually requires a fast top tier team.

So, PvE. This is probably the "easy" way for anyone without a strong PvP presence. Again, easy is in quotes, in that having powerhouses isn't as important as playing on a schedule and grinding those nodes at sub ending times. There is obviously a huge time investment, but this is the only realistic path for someone who can't break 600 points in PvP. It's time consuming and can be a slog, but I have done it a few times - usually to get the first cover of a color, or for one highly desirable. Not very life-friendly, obviously, but the 8 hour refreshes certainly help.

Last? Cover buys. Once you have at least one of each cover, just spend the HP to outright buy them - either through your banked HP or spending cold hard cash. In general, I reserve this option for when it means the difference between 'good' and 'awesome'. I purchased one X-Force cover with HP just because going from 4 to 5 in black was a huge jump in power. I haven't outright bought HP with the express intent of buying a cover, but I have purchased HP in the past during sales, so perhaps it's pretty much the same thing.

In the end? Luck plays as big a part as skill and effort. Being on day 512 doesn't hurt, either.
 
Thanks Kojubat!!

It's going to be a while before I can get them the "easy" way. My Lthor and Ldaken are only 4/2/2 and 1/3/1, respectively. My patch is starting to get there at 3/3/2. My only other decent 3* is cMags who will hopefully be 5/4/1 if DDQ transitions to second powers.

Finding a bracket in PvE without a top tier character is my main problem. Unless I get really lucky, I'll finish 3rd this event (my highest ever finish), so maybe I just need to give it more time.

Maybe in a few months, with DDQ and good PvE placements, my team will be ready for PvP. I'll work on trying to get to 800-900 for those progression rewards, not expecting much more than that. Though only you and gravel ever reach 700 or higher in the alliance.

Thanks again. I kind of assumed a decent bit of that but it's nice to know that's the way and there aren't any tricks I don't know about

This is what has worked for me Sean. My X-Force is 3/4/3 and my Invisble Woman is 4/4/4. I'm pretty sure the only 4* placement rewards I've won have been for being top 50 when a new a character was released, so neither of those characters. The rest were extremely lucky tokens (well the X-Force covers at least) and daily rewards. While I'd like to think I could win some at some point, I definitely hit the level 270 wall in PvP, generally around 650 points.

Yeah I've managed two purple Furys, one red Electra, one yellow 4hor, one purple Star Lord, one yellow X-Force, and one green X-Force. A yellow and green IW too, the latter of which I tossed a while back to make space. The former was the other day; I'm holding onto it to see if I'll have room. At the end of this PvE I'll have enough hp to add Ragnarok, and depending on whether or not a new character will be released next event, I'll hopefully gather enough to add IW or Gamora; otherwise I'll get 1500 ISO haha. I've tossed at least 2-3 gamora covers already

Yeah as usual Koju pretty much nailed everything perfectly there haha

I myself have been playing over a year and still am yet to really have solid 4*s lineup; my IW is maxed I think or close to it but she is useless and X-Force is getting close whereas everyone else is basically 1-3 covers or so. I have a crap ton of maxed 3*s all over the place but my 4* line up is severely lacking. This is largely due to the fact that once 4*s became much more prevalent and they patched X-Force to be amazing, I was already starting to put this game on the backburner where I still play a good deal but not as crazy competitively as in the past. Like Koju said any of the 'guaranteed' methods of nabbing 4*s are all pretty time and effort intensive but as you have seen probably, getting them through random pulls is not going to to get you squat in the end so if you want 4*s you have to work for them!

been jumping in PVP last hour for the last 2 months and hit top 100 everytime. few times hit top 25..IF i waited 20 mins today and jumped in at 920 (not 9am) i would of got top 25 easy. I jumped at 9am today (1 hour to go) 485 people CRAP

389 pts was good enough for 86th

im 96th right now in PVE with 1 hour to go. No reason to play i know i will hold top 150 and know i cant make it to 50th so why even play.

PVE really sucks i used to love PVE when it was a 3 hour refresh, 8 hour refresh killed it for me since all the points are very close and you have to always be on

Yeah, I should clarify - a last hour join where you can blitz the leaderboard is still a viable strategy for earning 3* covers.

It's just the "lucky join" of a new bracket that has been harder to find last minute, where that same blitz could get you top spot and a 4* cover.

Yeah I can easily manage 350-400 points i an hour but usually when I join im over 300. There was a patch PvP a few seasons ago that I managed two covers. That was probably when i first started playing PvP so I was in an easy bracket because I definitely didn't have over 400. I'll probably keep attempting late joins and hope for the best. Already have my 10-pack so I may risk really late entries
 
New Gauntlet has pretty lame rewards for me. Blade has been maxed for a while and frankly I dont give a damn about Squirrel Girl. I also plan on getting my 5th Blue Daken from this current PvP so..... I guess I will just be barely playing for some ISO and stuff. Took last event really easy too.

I am still just enjoying jumping on and doing all the Deadpool stuff every day and still being able to strengthen my guys at a fairly quick pace now.

The rewards are great for me this time. If I can get one Daken from PvP and one from PvE, he'll be at max covers. That green Blade would be great, I only have one cover there. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get to it, but it is quite the incentive. The Deadpool dailies are great, for the covers as well as the Iso. I also managed 250 HP from a taco the other day.

Yeah Blade's green is amazing so I hope everyone is able to get that cover that needs it, though as always it will be a tough final one to get.

I actually just scored a 1k HP from the Taco Token! I was so stoked; I immediately bought another slot just so I didnt have the HP sitting there and tempting me to buy random packs hahah

 
Upcoming patch notes

Greetings everyone!

We're getting closer to the release of our next update, so let's take a peek at what's on-tap...

R73 Patch Notes Preview:
(As always, anything listed below is subject to change before release)

This month we explore the chaotic qualities of speed, crime and brute force.

UI, Tweaks & Bug Fixes

  • - Fixed a bug where the mission points tally screen was displaying an incorrect amount of points.
    - Fixed a bug where players weren't returned to the Chapter Selection screen after completing certain missions.
    - In-game announcements can now contain links to external websites.
Team-Ups

  • - Team-Ups scale up to a player’s average level when receiving a Team-Up from a player.
    - Team-Ups received from PVE Events no longer scale above the character’s max level.
    - Fixed a bug where the “On Patrol” timer was overwriting the "Injured" timer on the Character Select screen.
Characters

  • - While Star-Lord is stunned, his ability Oldest Trick in the Book will not increase the AP for enemy abilities.
    - Doctor Octopus’s ability Armed and Dangerous now correctly does additional tile damage.
    - Ms. Marvel’s ability Photonic Blasts now correctly does additional tile damage.

So two fixes for team-ups, one good, one bad.  Speed, crime, and brute force?  If they try to tie-in with upcoming Marvel events...Quicksilver?  Kingpin?  We didn't get the shapeshifter yet either, right?

 
Next round of DP dailies:

Covers for this round will be Luke Cage (Red), Rocket&Groot (Green), Spider-Man (Blue), Storm (Yellow) and Daredevil (Blue)

I'll be glad to get the Cage and Rocket & Groot covers, and I could use Spidey or DD for re-specs if I wanted.  I might go 3/5/5 with Spidey, but keep DD at 5/3/5 and just take the iso.  Also, I finished the Gauntlet this morning.  Green Blade at 2!  First time I've made it all the way through.

This is very very interesting due to the gaunlet ending friday and season ending sunday, Usually the last item in gaunlet is needed for the next PVE but Blade will be benched. Wonder if they make RAG the ess person or make no new PVE until the new season They might make RAG the ess and make a NEW person as the rewards

Wonder if they make RAG the ess person or make no new PVE until the new season They might make RAG the ess and make a NEW person as the rewards

I'm assuming the next PvE will feature the new "shapeshifter" as the reward. As far as featured characters, I don't know if they have required a character that wasn't in the season rotation, or had someone available in event tokens, but not in heroic tokens. I guess I'll have to save my iso for now to see who I should bump up for PvE. I'd like to level Blade, Daken, or Cage (when I get the red from DP daily), but I'd rather not screw myself over for PvE.

 
Thanks for the reminder Broly. I haven't played in at least two months now. Dropped myself from the alliance. Now I just need to delete the game. It was fun while it lasted but I don't have the patience or time for the grinding for so little rewards.

 
wooooooooooooooooo  just got my 2nd 10 pack  (not going to open until i get a single token pull of gold--- someone said golds come in groups so might be best to do it that way--- first 10 pack i did this with i got  2  dead pools  purples) 

could of got one last season but forgot to do shiled  (had 3400 in season without putting a point in the shield event) 

sheild is coming off  Friday  PVP   ranked  5th right now  I  be  happy to rank top 100

Congrats slidecage. I ended up with a yellow Fury, purple Doom, and a yellow Hood. Couldn't use the Hood, but the other two were good.

 
I know the feeling elder, I still play but not nearly as much. I do not grind for anything anymore I just enjoy random PvP stuff and the Deadpool Daily stuff primarily. I went from a couple hours a day to like 30 minutes a day and I am actually enjoying the game more this way now.

And yeah Gravel I had the exact same reaction with that new character : P

Playing the DP dailies definitely gives you the best immediate return on your time. Picking up 4-5k iso per day and potentially a 3* cover you need is great. Combining that with the daily rewards (I'm 2 days from yellow 4* Thor) and it's definitely the best return on time in the game. The downside is the lack of new character rewards (unless you can get a lucky late bracket), but those are generally only useful when required or 6-8 months down the road. I can definitely see becoming burnt out on the game, but I've been the opposite the past two days. After I beat the gauntlet, I was looking for something to do in there. I didn't want to start Daken PvP that early, but I wanted something to do in there. I ended up messing around in the PvP season simulator then started Daken earlier than I had planned. Hood and Lazy Thor boosted to 280 are crazy. I can't use the lower level rewards, so I was going to try to push in it, but seeing those 290 dakens paired with 280 thor/hood and/or 270 x-force and it's probably not worth it.

shield came off and was attacked once but was knocked to 32th. Jumped back on around 930 and played to 10am (end time) right at 959.55 i hit the final ARES blow pushing me to 509 pts and pushing me back to 5th. All 3 covers .

starting to think it might be wiser to start sooner then jumping in the last hour. When i jump in the last hour getting 300 pts when i jumped with 18 hours to go ended with 500 pts. (then again this is with ares boosted and if you used Cheats you could kill ares very very easy if you had to fight him) (start with +3 green + 3 yellow and + 3 all ) (had stockpile of 30 +3 all) started with 6 green and yellow. 2matches allowed ares to do massive damage. was taking down 15k ares in matter of moves

now im worried about opening the 10 pack LOL going to wait till i hit a gold on a single pack and then open the 10 pack someone said golds come in bunches so going to try this

New round of Deadpool rewards, still no Iron Fist or Ragnarok in sight:

Covers for this round will be Black Widow (Red), Deadpool (Purple), Gamora (Red), Loki (Purple) and She-Hulk (Green)

She-Hulk green today.  Gamora is the only other one I can use.  Glad I'm in the one sub round of the Kamala event, but those essentials aren't easy to make it through without substantial damage.

 
I have no idea thinking about it what I could use from this week's DP rewards. I know I don't need Deadpool but the others are all characters I never use so maybe? 

Hell I just did the last Rags PvP just with a quick last 14 minute join and was happy to score another Captain Marvel only to realize I already have 5 of that color. Oh well haha

That being said I know I wanted to boost a bunch of guys to a B team of 140 but really I don't want to. I got Doom and Falcon to 140 and now I am just sitting on about 50k ISO not knowing what to do. Could you guys take a look at my roster back on CAGvengers and recommend my next course of action? Nobody I have right now seems good enough to really level up hah

Also I have some spare HP that I could buy ONE 3* cover if need be as well.

I would vote HT or Daredevil. DD is probably a little more versatile but I don't know if it's worth it to level either of them. You'd probably like to level Laken but you don't have enough covers. I'd probably just hold onto the iso for now, but there are better opinions from gravel and koju out there haha. I personally like HT but I only have 3*s around level 110 so he's good compared to most of my roster

Yeah Daredevil was on my short list of those to level up but I just don't like using him enough when it comes down to it. He is decent but just meh. I use Hood, Doom or Falcon as support and rarely need another. I consider BP to be a support as well even though I know some guys here would argue that. Either way I am still on the fence with DD. Torch is great but terrible. His super low health pool and AP draining moves makes him a noticeable step down from all of my mains. I do love his red however.

Before I always felt like I had someone really worthwhile to level up, but now that all of those are the rest are all just 'eh.'

Also have you guys tried the new Marvel game they finally released today? Looks pretty lame but I will give it a shot, Marvel Mighty Heroes. I can't find it on the Google Store but it says it is there who knows.

Daken is likely coming up at the start of the next DDQ set, so that would put you at 3/3/5. That's workable at least and that might make it worth it to level him.


And Marvel Mighty Heroes is on the Apple App Store but I don't know if I'll give it a try. It seems similar to other games they've put out like Avengers Alliance and the like. An X-men Legends/Marvel Ultimate Alliance-type. I'm not sure about the mobile gameplay on stuff like that. Might be worth a shot though

I agree with the talk on Human Torch. I haven't invested much, mostly due to the AP drain on his moves. When he is boosted, that green move is good, but I'd prefer Thor or Hulk for green and their health. Also, you have a max Blade, so that's a bit of a waste. You could save it for the next event you plan to go hard in, but Daken or Daredevil might be the best choice. I do love Cage, but you don't have the covers for him yet. I'm not a huge fan of Daken, but now that mine is partially leveled, and since he was boosted in the last event, I can see the draw. Of course, he was just boosted, so he probably won't be featured again soon if that matters.

 
I brought Daredevil to 110 (and Psylocke from 99->100 just because it was bugging me)

My Daken is 70 at the moment and I think I will just pour the rest of the ISO into him and use my HP to buy a cover to make him 3/3/5 and just go from there. If I like how he plays at a usable level then I will continue to 'invest' in him. I know on the forums he is ranked as one of the higher tier characters I just never have really given him a shot. Thanks guys.

*Edit*

Daken is now 3/3/5 at 102

I will play around with Daken and Daredevil and see which I like playing with more and they will get all my Deadpool Daily ISO

Buying purple might've been a little more pertinent. 5 purple generates two strike tiles. In the end it doesn't matter a whole lot. I wish my LDaken had that many covers haha
 
We get Hp at a fairly decent rate now with the DPD possibilities as well as PvP and PvE events so I am sure I will have enough to buy another cover soon. I have quite a few roster slots with filler characters for now so I shouldnt have to buy any of those in the near future.

Oops! Sorry I thought you had him at 3/5/5. 3/3/5 for now is good especially since he'll be 3/4/5 next week. Maxing black when you would be getting one next week didn't make sense, but that's not what you did :D

Ah yeah I made a typo and said 3/5/5 that second time!

Yeah 3/4/5 will definitely be a decently usable Daken. Not a big fan of his Blue either way though so hopefully I can luck out and score some more covers in some pulls!
