And how do we do that? We hurt a lot of people...

Hmm gonna have to change my energy management completely with these new tracking missions, 4 * 10 bios daily, at 4 energy per run, not reduced during hot time.
Between dumping uru story missions and WBI I'll probably have to dump WBI since I love me some uru. That's really gonna hurt my gold income though... any thoughts?

I'm definitely cutting back on WBI. I've been dumping a ton of energy on it for months because I didn't have anywhere useful to spend it otherwise. I'll probably still do it 4-5 times a day.

Also: uh

So the Gwenpool uniform is super OP

That is correct; the proper price for Douglock is 10K crystals and not a drop less.

I already hosed up a little. Spent all me event mission tokens on Rogue, should have saved a package or two for Beast and now I need to 3* him to continue the epic quest. Woe is me.

Gonna Stark again, then I can get magneto next week or so with my crystals already hoarded. I'm only VIP 3 so I don't feel the shame too badly yet. I think I've Starked 4 times, got the monthly bio once, and straight bought $10 worth of crystals on black friday.

Not sure what to do with Shadowlands selectors now. All unfarmables are at 6*. Guess I could spend them on the warriors 3 because it looks like I'm gonna be dumping most of my energy into x-mens. Hm.

you can get Rogue, Beast, Storm, Cyclops and Wolverine by doing the epic quest for free

Magnemite costs 6600 crystals, which is a lot, but it's not a straight up you have to buy this for money type of thing. You can hoard crystals for him.

You need 5 T2 X-Guys as a requirement to get Jean

Crush me like a Blorknorg!

It's also good to note that if you aren't burning any of your rank up tickets it's going to take 63 days to get your x-mens enough bios to get them to six stars. The epic mission 'only' requires you to get five stars which would be 31 days after you unlock Cyclops' mission. The Phoenix unlock however requires that you T2 all of them, that's another 30-40 days of bio grinding to get all of them up to 4/20 gear rankings, and then another couple weeks for the T2 conversions. In short only the most eldritch whalegods will be showing up with Phoenix anytime soon.

Much like all free to play mobile games you have to be satisfied with the long game if you're a free player.

Also calling it pay to win is kind of a misnomer. Jean may be queen of Timeline shortly but I long since stopped caring about Timeline wins. Alliance tournament I guess? But no one really gives a rootin' toot about that either.

Personally I'm wondering how this is going to scale with other x-mens when they inevitably come out. Are we going to get a way to grind generic x-genes at some point? Probably a new batch of special missions or something.

Gonna give it a couple days but I'm thinking it's probably time for a break. I was pretty burnt out after finishing 6*ing the last of the roster. Was kind of counting on the X-Men patch to get me excited about the game again.

Instead the treadmill feels super blatant, paywalling the only character I cared about blows, and little stuff like being lovely about bio selectors/stockpiled BAM/Chaos Norns feels bad. With access to a billion X-Men and FF characters they really could have thrown in a couple story missions with Speedball and Strong Guy or something.

If you were having fun before the patch you're probably still having fun now. It's still probably the best mobile F2P title on the market and I don't think this patch changes that.
