Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
Actually squeezed into the top 25 for this last PVP at 24th. Twice now recently I've been shielded and pushed to 26th at the last couple of minutes. Twenty fucking six.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
back guys. sorry. been crazy few weeks. so they nerfed OBW's healing? how was it nerfed? anything else i missed?
|
Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
All healing that affects other players (ie: non Wolvie healing) goes away after the match is over, it's only good for temporary in-match healing. So the lowest hit points you have in a match, that's what your characters will be set to after the match. No more prologue healing.
|
Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
ah man, that sucks balls. she was the only real reason to keep using her, since her healing helped everyone.
|
Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
Yes, it does suck but I still use her and had to change my strategy. Before, I wouldn't go for the early blue matches unless I was denying an enemy blue match (if going up against OBW or CS) or if I was down hitpoints early. Now, I try to match blue early and use her power right away unless I haven't lost many hitpoints. My reasoning is I'm trying to keep my team's lowest hitpoint level as high as possible. It's far from perfect and definitely prefer the old healing mechanic but it seems to be doing ok so far.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
Since they nerfed OBW's healing, I've switched back to Magneto & Storm for PVPs. I have to break more often to let health regen, but forgot just how quickly those two can wipe out other teams if you can get purple and blue for your first 3-4 matches. Still using OBW for PVE, more for her timer delay than healing ability.
|
Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
Yeah, her steal, timer delay for PvE, and extra damage if she's boosted for purple/blue/black is all pretty useful still. She was definitely the top tier 2* character, but now she's really, really squishy.
For those who only got one Punisher cover, on the bright side green is his best ability. Maxed to put out three strike tiles, it's one of the best abilities in the game (I realize red is sexier, but trust me). |
Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
OBW is still okay in PvP when you're fighting a team with CS. You can steal her blues and if you start the battle hurt, heal yourself up. I've been using different team ups while i wait for health regen so thats been fun.
I got my 10 heroics for season 3, i had a few gold covers but mostly useless 2*s. I got my first useless (for me) 3* cover in the form of a Falcon blue power. My falcon is like 1/5/0 but i still get blue covers. |
Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
Ground my way up to #2 in the last round of the PvE event. Out of my 3x Heroic cover rewards, 2 were duplicates and promptly sold, and 1 was useable, an Ares cover.... finally! I need one more to level him up fully (2/5/5) but will still need 1 more green cover for the best build. Having said that, is 4/4/5 still considered the best build for Ares?

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
Apparently a leveling change is coming...
http://www.d3pforums.com/viewtopic.p...3c38b48f884cc9 We're currently planning on making a change (likely during the week of 7/1) to alter the starting levels of each of the rarities of characters past 1*. The max levels will be shifted according to this same amount, making the new top ends change accordingly. Characters will automatically shift the number of current levels equivalent to their rarity. This change will be retroactive, so all characters in the game will automatically be adjusted to the new levels. These changes are intended to make gaining a brand new rarer character immediately useful for those players topped out or transitioning from one rarity level to another. The changes to levels are as follows: CODE: SELECT ALL Rarity Current (Base) Current (Cap) New (Base) New (Cap) Change 1* 1 50 1 50 +0 2* 6 85 15 94 +9 3* 15 141 40 166 +25 4* 30 230 70 270 +40 Leveling costs are unchanged with those costs simply shifted as well. So a 3* character leveling from 15->16 will cost the same amount as a post-shift 3* leveling from 40->41. |
Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
That definitely will help push people into the 3* and 4* arena quicker. I'm on board. Good to know that I don't need to rush to spend ISO to level up before the change hoping to get a bigger bang now!

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
Fuck how they nerfed the healing. I don't have enough tanks and I'm losing fights left and right trying different combos of lesser powered characters.

My problem is admittedly minor, but boosted Punisher is tanking everything. Since he has the same colors as Hulk, Hulk is useless except on defense as a deterrent to stop the endless pain that is getting attacked in PvP. And Punisher takes forever to heal! Against my better judgment, I spent hero points on that fifth blue for Magneto. Makes such a huge difference, but I know he's going to be nerfed next... but I didn't really have a decent option as a third character for this PvP. Wolverine also has green and red (and won't tank), OBW dies if you look at her funny, and Ares also duplicates green and red (though at least has a yellow). |
Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
I'll be interested to see what happens following the levels change. I've currently got five level-85 2*s and six 3*s at levels 77 - 79. I'd been keeping the latter below 80 to try to keep my matchmaking against 2* teams in PVP events. Now those 3*s will be higher than my top 2*s, so does that mean I'm going to constantly be going up against 3* teams? If that's how it turns out, it may push me away from playing, as my roster is in no position to compete with people who've maxed out two or more 3*s and the PVP events are the primary way I'm getting 3* covers these days.
|
Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
looks like i'm going to have to drop a couple 2*s to make room for the 3* Dr Doom and hopefully She Hulk. I never use Moonstone or 2* Cap so they're likely to go.
the leveling change sounds good to me. My middle of the road 3*s can now compete with fully specced 2*s. |
Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
I couldn't quite crack top 25 here at the end for my first blue Doom cover. He's maxed on black, but that's very limiting alone.
|
Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
I ended up 31st.... so close. I did earn my 10 pack Heroic reward for this season. Got 3x *** and 1x **** and 6 non-useable **.
Question, the 4* reward was Wolverine. Is it worth keeping him? That is my only cover for him and I don't have any open roster spots. Also, what do you do with 3* heroes? Do you keep all of them or only the ones you want? I tend to keep them but not sure that is the way to go either. DaveNinja, I need to drop some 2* too or even a 1*. I don't use Moonstone either but come across her quite a lot in PvP so I've been leary of dropping her. I also have Bullseye and M.Hawk. I will probably keep Cap as I hear he is average in PvE. |
Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
They state that the healing nerf was to prevent prologue healing...but if that's the case, then it should restore you to whatever levels you were at before the battle, rather than reversing the healing at the end of the battle and retaining any new damage.
|
Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
Cap is actually really good in PvE if you max out some of his colors, because he can transform enemy tiles. He's not as good as 3* cap, of course, but still useful.
Modern Hawkeye should get a boost soon (I think the devs said 3* Magneto nerf and MHawkeye were the next two in line to be balanced). Might be worth keeping him to see what they do. X-Force Wolverine is also one that's supposed to be balanced (upward) eventually, and the level change is partly to make those 4* characters stand out. However, it'll be a while before you get a lot of covers for him (keep in mind, though that eventually you will get one of each color for him free from the daily rewards, around day 150 or so). |

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
Got 10th in the Punisher PVP, so 2 Doom covers. After leveling him up, he's now boosted to 116 in the current PVP. So far, I feel like having a PVP's featured 3* boosted to over 100 has helped me, as it seems like I don't get thrown up against the crazy 3* teams too often, but people shy off on attacking a bit.
