Rats. Next spec op will probably be something Secret Wars related, or maybe just one of those filler ones because they don't want to have two huge ones in a row.

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

They've made a load of actions Free Actions. (Most important ones are BP's Panther Stance, Enchantress two quick actions, Squirel Girls Nuts to this and bizarrely only one of Loki's actions.)

But amazingly enough they have made Colosus Steel Curtain a Quick Action. So if you have his A-Iso and his E-Iso he's an absolutely amazing tank. Thing still sucks.

Oh and they've also released Angela for sale. No sign of an AoU costume and Widow runs out tomorrow.

Also known as Hawkeye, unless you're in Jersey. Then she's "Lady Hawkman."

Playdom being Playdom they haven't worked all the bugs out yet, my Tac suit says it's both a free and quick action.

Edit: OH SWEET they changed Stalled so that it makes quick actions normal actions instead of locking them out.

I cannot loving believe I just paid CP for Angela, the gooniest wank fantasy that was introduced to the Marvel universe like a goon would introduce his wank fantasy into his lovely D&D campaign.

So currently there is a gold sale on. And the gold item is one of those items that would work perfectly in the set which gives your Agent debuffs.
And that set is also on sale.

On a completely unrelated note the rumour is that you will be able to buy a fifth item slot.

So begin with the conspiracy theories.

The smart thing to do would've been to release the 5th gear slot, wait a month, and then do the Quick Action changes.

No then it would have lead to all manner of janky/broken combos (five QA item agents etc...) for a month before the fix.

Like in WoW whenever they release new talent trees before they balance stuff out for new expansions.

Heh... Spider-man... Web searches... That's funny. I should've trademarked that one. Could've made a mint.
I would like if the new gear spaces are used for custom counters, like a guy said in The Helicarrier podcast half a year ago.

Other good use would be to get weapons passives, like the cube 20% dodge, finally leaving one of the active slots free.

AoU Widow and Hulk have worked pretty well for me. Widow counters the poo poo out of everything you do and Iron Fist can't stop her.

If you're using Age of Ultron suits for one hero you want to use them for the other, too, so AoU Hulk as well.

Yeah that's what I'm going to try. No fear of IF, and no worries about using a tactician Hulk since Widow makes it so nobody can counter. I just need to finish research on the rifle and I can start bashing some heads in

Nul and Kuurth are immune to a bunch of things, counter a ton, and Nul's 'nerf' actually made it easier to get stacks of Meteor Swarm, which when fully stacked and combined with a signpost means you can do nothing but drain their life and recharge through the second half of a fight and still win. You'll have to have completed the chapter masteries though.

I'm experimenting, and found AoU Widow and Hulk work really well together, and switching over to the newer tact suit with the widow iso to make his attacks stealthy and the tbolt love/eugin's eye combo still works great.

Since Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays are the days when Playdom release most of their new content, I'd say that we will get AoU Thor tonight.

Man, gently caress fratricide on IOS. I'm fighting Selene and Sebastian Shaw for task 23, and it keeps freezing during the second phase. I have to hard close the app, and I lose my ISO points.

Also, I haven't received any gifts for a week, and it's letting me send more than 10 per person, so some sort of communication is broken. It also won't let me send out ship upgrade help requests.

Hopefully Hawkeye's AoU suit makes him much better. I want to use Kate but if a lot of her utility comes from pairing with Clint, well...

Hawkeye is really good with the recent iso. So hopefully his new costume can make him top tier.
