Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I hate when all these events at the same time. I can't decide which to focus on.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

i put a lot of effort into the loki PvP event and finished at rank 23 so i get two Falcon covers. That was my goal. i got to rank 16 about an hour and half before the event ended and threw on a shield. I was getting really nervous near the end; it would have sucked to finish 26 and miss the purple cover.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

More Simulator tokens, more 2* covers. Bah.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

What sucks even more is if you unshield to try to eke some more points out then get slapped back down. I get nervous whenever I'm over 600 and need to battle some more...

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I got pushed out of top 25 with about 15 minutes to go. I decided to try my luck and popped my shield to come back in for 1 match, but luckily didn't get attacked. Ended up at 24th.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Got top 25 for the Loki PVP, and the two Falcon covers made him my first 3* that I have full covers for. Have been keeping my 3*s at max 104, so I'm not maxing him out for now. He wouldn't be powerful enough to offset getting bumped into tougher pools. It'd also cost about ~130k of the ~160k in ISO I've saved to max him.

I had a lucky day with random covers, pulling 3*s from both my Sim covers and a generic match one. Ended up adding to The Hood, Psylocke and lazy Thor.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Yea, I've had good luck with standard tokens this week. Pulled a Mohawk and Sentry.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I've had terrible luck with standard and heroic tokens this week. no 3*s

so if you raise a 3* above 104, that bumps you into a pool of higher level opponents?

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Not really. Your MMR (Match Making Ranking?) is what puts you into a harder pool.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

How is MMR calculated?

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Screw this PvE on hard. My Torch keeps dying. And that accursed Spidey/Venom/Goon match is way harder than I'd have expected it to be.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

It is because Goon is granted free AP every turn, regardless of matches.

I don't even have a Torch so my options are limited in it.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Venom gets unlimited Devours from the goon's generated AP.
I got the Sentry cover so i doubt i'll work on the PvE anymore. I'd rather use my health packs on the Falcon PvP event

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I've had awful luck getting covers for the past 2-3 weeks. I can't remember the last time I got a good 3-star cover from a token.

Today I finally got my Heroic 10-pack and it was all useless 2-star covers (except for an X-Force Wolverine which is practically useless).

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I finally got a 3* Spidey today from a Heroic. I should get my 10 pack tonight, hoping its not worthless. It sure does seem like either drop rates for 2* is up and 3* down... or something.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I was thinking of keeping my 10 pack (if I get there) and other non-event specific rewards until they put 2* torch in the regular rewards. Or is that going to take a really long time?

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

2* Torch should be available in packs once the current PvE event ends.

I thought the reward packs/covers have a built in date so that you couldn't get a hero's cover if it was released after the reward's date (or something like this)? Or is that only for the rewards for the individual events?

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I'd think they'd wait longer than that. What's the point of making it a top reward if it's available right after, especially since he'll be boosted/essential in the next PvE?

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Finished Top 100, so I got a cover of Johnny Storm. Yay.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Got an Invisible Woman, 3* Thor, and Punisher in my 10 pack. Everything else useless. Better then nothing, I suppose.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

10 useless 2 stars for my 10 pack!

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Hot bullshit the 3 star Torch dosent count for the PVE event.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

That is almost always how it is.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I'm pretty surprised how much things can swing at the end of a season. I was 48 for S3 yesterday morning and thought I had a chance at getting top 50, but ended up dropping to 87. I was only able to get 613 points in the Ragnarok event due to constant attacks, but did pretty well in the simulator portion. I guess people must get clustered pretty close together where a small comparative point change can drop a lot of ranks. Anyway, got a 3* Thor cover and a bunch of useless 2*s from my S3 reward tokens, but picked up an Iron Man 3* from the last event and a 2* Human Torch from one of the PVE tokens.

I'm getting pretty close to transitioning to a 3* team, but am not sure where I'll want to go. I've been playing around with 3* characters in PVE, but don't like any of them as much as 2* teams of Thor/OBW/Daken or Magneto/Storm/Wolverine. Anyone who's moved to 3* want to give input on what I should be holding out for/concentrating on from the below? All of them are currently over level 100.

Falcon - 5/5/3
Punisher - 5/3/2
Thor - 5/2/3
Black Panther - 2/5/1
Captain America - 2/4/2
Daredevil - 4/2/2
Doctor Doom - 4/3
Iron Man - 2/4/2
Magneto - 3/3/2
The Hood - 3/3/2

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I like Falcon a lot. I team him up with 3* torch most of the time, but he's also pretty good with 2* thor or ares or 2* wolverine. His power to destroy other teams special tiles is great when you're fighting a team that relies on count downs to do most of their damage.

I didnt bother trying for 2* torch in that one event since i have a pretty good 3* version so I was also annoyed to see that he was needed for the current pve event.
I finished the Rags Pvp event in the top 25 so i got a couple 3* iron man covers i needed. Of the 5 heroic tokens i got this morning, only one I could use (sentry) and two of them were Bagmans
