Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
I'd be up for joining if the extra spot is still available. This stupid little game is just SO fun and addictive. I haven't felt the need to spend any money yet, but I could be talked into it soon.
ETA: I found the group and see the spot is open. Just want to make sure it's cool that I join before doing so.

As long as you continue to participate, I'm OK with you joining.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
Well that sucks. I was #8 on the regular Venom challenge with 4 minutes left. I picked the level with the highest point reward and beat it right as the event ended. And only ended up in the top 50. Anyone know if the points count towards your total as long as you start a round before the time is up? And it looks like our Alliance only ended up top 1750, even though we'd been hovering between 600 & 700 for the past day. I've played most of the events for the past month and the only time I got top 10 was when I was #1 a couple minutes before it ended and closed out with a round.

Yeah, the whole rubberband effect means the last hour and especially the last few minutes are a free for all. This event was a bit of a pain: the roster was limited, which was good for me since Astonishing Wolvie is one of my leveled up characters, but unless you got a bunch of Psylocke and/or Panther, you're stuck with a 1 star or Hawkeye. And then you have Daken, Bullseye, and massive damage dealing thugs.

that venom event sucked. too limited roster. these pve ones are usually pretty good for me, as i have a pretty built up roster. my hulk isn't great, but should be enough for me to get top 50.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
If anyone else skipped over it, the S.H.I.E.L.D. training under prologue is a fairly easy way to pick up some ISO, Hero Points and low-level covers that can be used or sold. I was poking around and found it after getting my ass handed to me in the Hulk event. Unfortunately, it looks like the really good rewards (3-star covers) are only for hitting milestones that are pretty much unobtainable. I'd really like to get up to 2,600 for the 3-star Spider-Mans, but I just hit 1,000 and almost all my matches at this point return less than 10.

I'll join up if you guys are still taking members. I've only been playing for about a week, so I haven't progressed too far. But I'll pitch-in the cost of opening another slot.

I say we let him in, and he's gotta buy the next spot. That's the best way to do this from now on, since we'll have to keep buying a new spot.

Yep, agree, the more the merrier, especially since alliance ranking is based on aggregate and not average score. I'd also say for now, it's fair that the person who takes the currently open spot springs for the new one. Not sure if we'll want to revisit that if we end up with a lot of people, as it'll start to get more expensive at the higher numbered spots.

Damn, i wish i would have seen this thread sooner when there were open spots. I've been playing the crap out of this game. I have a few 50s. I was doing great in the venom event with human torch (event boosted to 105), astonishing wolverine and modern hawkeye

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
If a DVDTalker is really active in the game, I don't mind pitching in for the next slot as it becomes prohibitively expensive for a single new member to pay for it all, especially if it means we can creep up in the rankings and get more Hero Points anyway. Of course, I have no idea if that's even possible, I think only one person can buy a slot at a time.
Just picked up a Hulk cover off a random draw, but ran out of purple stuff to level him...
Also, I'm about to get attacked and killed by the level 140+ people as I get up in ranking in the last few hours, but I'll try to keep up.

I just joined (TBDave) and it's currently Pending. Once it goes though, I'll buy another open spot.

I think TheBigDave got promoted to commander and opened up that slot. I think DaveNinja just has to search for us and apply. Wait how many Daves are there?
Yeah, that Spiderman cover in the Shield battle tempted me (it would be my first), but I gave up long ago. Now I just field a weak team and hope people hit me there, since there's some kind of ranking effect it helps with.

I wish they'd add the ability for people in alliances to trade covers. I've gotten quite a few 2-stars and 3-stars that I feel guilty selling, but can't use due to either already being maxed out on the attribute or not having enough hero points to open another slot.
I just opened up my Facebook profile privacy settings to allow friend requests from anyone. I think I've sent Deftones ~1000 ISO and some boosts and probably gotten close to the same back from him, so it definitely pays to connect with others. If anyone wants to send me a request on Facebook, my profile is at

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
I don't think they'll implement trading because of abuse and because of $$$. Abuse because you can probably start selling covers and/or creating dummy accounts to use the extras, and $$$ because then people have to buy/win their own covers. I've had to "sell" countless 2 star covers that I really really could've used when I was starting out... the Original Black Widow ones alone are awesome for those just starting out.

Yeah, I think the current set up also helps them control the economy a bit forcing people to dump covers and characters.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
Rewards for this new event are unexciting, but so far the levels are low enough that I think that as long as you have some of the buffed characters, even lower levels can progress, so that's cool.
