So I guess as long as you can beat the lizard 3 times you get Felicia.

Does anyone know if the Lizard is going to be still around when part 2 ends? I could see a new enemy in chapter 2, but i wouldn't put it past them to limit it to the current part.

And yes, you had until part 2 ends to defeat Lizard 7 times. Another hour and i could have beaten him the 7th time.

Anyways, looks like Mary Jane is going to be Iron Spider.

Once I got Ock, I just stopped caring about Goblin because I knew there was no way to beat him before the time was up, so I just concentrated in upgrading him, black cat and MJ as high as I could.

Please let Gwen just be a normal unlockable character.

The late-breaking box for cheap oscoins full of exclusives was a lifesaver. The setup for the Goblin fights was bullshit though - I think the 7 streak was all but impossible even if you're a pretty serious P2P.

Symbiote Spidey could one shot those, but he was expensive.

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
I didn't even get Ock. Dammit.

come at me bro
Even with Symbiote spidey, it was still 3 fights, then 5, and so on, and by the 4th streak you needed 11 to beat Goblin. Syringes were easy but the antidotes were so hard to come by free and even if you bought the 100ish crystal pack you'd still need to spend a LOT of money to come close to the 7-streak.

I wound up getting Goblin but no additional coins so I can't level him at all. Skipped Ham and Lizard.

I got everyone up to at least level 4, with Ham, Black Cat, and Mary Jane level 5.

Only item I missed was the Gargoyle statue.

Norman should be finishable in act 2 for me.

I'm certain at least one of Gwen, Silk, or Venom will be premium, sadly.

Gwen is on the splash page, and so is venom, so i doubt it, but yea, Silk or Miles or Mayday or whomever they add will be premium.

Act 2 is up, Carnage is the bad guy now, Miguel is in fact the premium, Electro and Mysterio are unlockable and Venom will be unlocked though tasks a la Groot and Bucky

There's also a new battle mechanism

And Gwen is a main recruit as well as dead in our Spidey's universe

I got Ock with an hour to spare. gently caress that particular process.

We're also back to the train up skills to fight wandering goons thing from the Guardian event.

This game pisses me off and is such bullshit, but I love it. These episodes are so short. Doesn't give you a chance to get characters like Electro without paying. I bought 2099 just to help me beat Mysterio to get Electro and STILL couldn't get it done.

Electro was specifically not meant to be achievable for F2P players. They just didn't communicate that.

There's only one thing in the mountains that leaves a track like this. The creature of legend that roams the Timberline. My people named him Sasquatch. You call him... Bigfoot.
On the upside, Venom doesn't reset to Streak 1 when time runs out, he just heals up. On the downside, it costs 150 shards instead of 100 to extend the time limit.

I think it varies on the streak. It was 120 shards for me to extend streak 4.

I'm just glad I exploited the airplane mode bug this week and last. Venom would have been near impossible with just Spider-man and Gwen.

I got Venom to streak 4 then he one shot my entire team before I got an attack in.

I decided to not bother after that.

I said i'd only spend money on Miles or Cindy, and welp, there's Miles.

At this point I'm just farming symbiots hoping I can level my attackers power and health while stockpiling sonic blasters to fight venom. Still have 4 days.

Does Miles seem, like, bizarrely huge to anyone else? I was always under the impression that he was a pretty small guy but he looks like he could rip most of my heroes in half here.

They only have a few base models for males and none of them are very small, except the Rocket/Ham one.

Actual game question, are upgraded costumes permanent or is there a way to swap them around? This event is the first time I've gotten someone close to rank 5 and I'm curious.

When you press someone to get their mission list, there's a uniform icon in the bottom.

Friend of mine had no idea there was an inventory for buildings and display items. He was really upset the game was stealing away all the cool stuff he got from lockboxes.

Was there even an option to upgrade Doc Ock in act 1? I'd recruited him but he never had a level up option at all that I saw, and Goblin and Lizard kept upgrading with message board items in act 2.

There was, but he gets recruited fairly late, I only got him to level 3
