I guess we got our act topgether and completed 90% of the last 2 raids, so I'll stick around.

But holy poo poo I hate how literally my entire primary roster needs Advanced MRIs to gear up, but I cannot complete the missions that give this out because I'd need to improve my characters that need it to the next gear level. Thing is, its not even something i can by with power cores, its just non existant. They're supposed to be in raid gear orbs, but lol Its been nearly 2 months and I've gotten one from then in that time.

Just started up. Once I unlock guilds I'll hit up a goon one.

The "New Player Offer" is now a 3* Deadpool + 375 Power Cores for $5. Is this a decent deal, or no? Seems like maybe it is based on the thread stuff, but not real sure so might as well check in before dropping the cash on it.

Yes that’s good for a starter. Deadpool is a powerhouse. Too bad you can’t farm him unless fox news gets their heads out of their rear end.

It's not bad. Deadpool's a solid B+ character that'd be hard to get otherwise and it's unlikely that you'll be offered any other characters at this price range.

I wonder if the deal they offer is based off some dumb age-based BIGDATA analysis since they ask the age when you start up the game.

Thanks for the quick response - got it in before the maintenance tomorrow in case it dispersal.

Edit: My latest offer is 4x the price (lol) - $20

45 kingpin shards
15 merc sniper shards
45k gold
4k basic orb fragments
20 L1, 10 L2 training modules


No surprise it went downhill so fast based on reading the thread.

Yeh sorry to all the GLGS 'fugees but I about hit my limit with this. I'm not necessarily in the "gently caress this stupid game" camp because I managed to get pretty far and stay competitive (fighting for top 20 in arena) without spending more than $10, but they have been making some baffling decisions lately and I just don't have it in me to keep logging in anymore.

His basic attack is more or less the same but boosts his turn meter when he crits.
His special now does some piercing damage instead of giving him counter.
His passive has him counter attack an enemy if they hit characters that are adjacent to him. There's no limit so you put him next to a tank and he's shooting everyone for a round or two. It feels nuts.

The biggest question is how he'll scale into the end game. I kinda doubt anyone's put serious resources into finding out.

Bitches love my tool time
It would have been nice to get a heads up that we needed Mystic heroes for a character we didn't even know was coming. I have a kind of OK team but drat their communication is terrible. Some of these changes are nice, like the UI theme and more information on the screen, hell maybe even some of the character changes are good. I just wish we had some heads up when new characters are coming out so I can have a chance to unlock them. Especially if they are going to do this bullshit 14 days event and only make certain characters available. It's like 1 step forward 3 steps back with FoxNet for me.

Edit:. Did that huge long event campaign post say anything about what Trait Ms. Marvel event will use?

Yeah I'm coming down on the actual worst part of this game, even worse than the abysmally ignorable attempts to monetize, is the loading after a patch. My favorite is watching a loading bar for a match stop at 99% and then a SECOND bar appears underneath loading other poo poo, as if the first bar was cosmetic.
