Wow, no idea how I got into such an easy group. Your score would put you at 2nd place in my group. I must have completely skipped out on the first PvP of the season or something.

Yes. More than I should have, to be honest. I personally wouldn't on her, but if it is the last cover for her and she will make a strong impact to your team, then it would be worthwhile for you to do it.

I was really liking the combo of Hood/Iron Man/Cap during the Deadpool PVE, but only have 8 covers for 3* Iron Man and only have 3 for Hood's Blue power. Think I'll wait and see if I can get a handful more covers for those two and then level that team up.
Congrats. It feels nice when you start to see fully covered 3 stars. I'd fully level Cap if you have enough ISO. He is a very strong character that is useful in PvE or PvP. I think you would do better to focus on maxing out one 3* vs. spreading the ISO around.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

I got my Deadpool cover thankfully. I only dropped two places due to the crash which didn't change my reward. I was in a fierce bracket for that one, had close to 40,000 points and only came in 72nd! I'm in a cupcake bracket for The Hood vs so it looks like I've got a good chance at 3 storm covers. Not spending money on Hero Points to go for 1st.

!0,000 points ended up being a really low max reward ceiling there.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

Agreed. I hit 10,000 points on the first day of the Deadpool event and after that it was just about rankings.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

didn't get a deadpool cover. my grouping was ridiculous. i was at like 20k and the 1st place guy was like 60k. i think i ended up around 200. was too much of a grind to keep getting it. oh well.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

Users who entered the “Deadpool vs. Marvel Puzzle Quest” Event will receive 1 Thick as Thieves Recruit Token, which has a chance of Deadpool in the Event Pack. In addition, users who entered the “Lord of Thunder” Versus Tournament will receive 2 Unholy Outlaw Recruit Tokens, allowing for a chance at The Hood who was the reward for the "Lord of Thunder" Tournament.
Due to last night's outage.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

Earned my season 10 pack, but only got one 3* on the final draw. At least it was a Patch I needed.

Me too. I'm happy with their resolution since I didn't lose out on a Deadpool cover. At least when something goes wrong these guys try to make it right. Earned my 500th point tonight in the hood pvp event and got a widow 3* I needed. I've been getting so many cards lately that I'm looking at a huge iso deficit to level everything up.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

I made it to #1 in the Hood event just now in my group with only 715 points. I decided that I've beat so many people on my way here that I'll just throw up a 24-hour shield and let them retaliate all day. I'll decide tomorrow at 8am if I want to climb up a little more or just use a final 3-hour shield.

I really need 3* Storm covers.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

Got my three free tokens and pulled a Deadpool cover from one of them, so can't complain at all.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

This TaT event has a red Deadpool at 40k for individual. I doubt I'll go much past that this time as the final rewards do not give me a chub.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

So to get into less competitive brackets... do I need to just lose or place low in a few events I don't care about? I usually try to tank matches at the beginning of events to get some reasonable starting opponents, but that doesn't help too much when the top of the bracket are people who have way better rosters (and apparently a lot more time) than I have...

I pulled a Psylocke, a Hood, and a 2* Magneto from the sorry tokens, all of which I needed.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

Shielded up at rank 21 this morning in the current PVP, figuring I'd probably get pushed out of top 25, but knowing I wouldn't have much time to play today. People keep losing to my shielded team though, so now I'm up to 14. Nice for a change.

Unfortunately, my PVE group is much less forgiving. I've ground on the available levels a fair amount and am still outside of top 100 with 4363. Top in my group is 6817. People must really want those Spider-Man covers.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

Team Ups. I hate them. PERIOD. This "feature" was added while I was away on vacation so I didn't have much time to see how it played out in extended gameplay. Now that I have had time, I can't stand them! Some of my gripes:

1. Why does the AI get to fire off 2 to 3 teamups per match when I can barely save up enough for one?
2. I love that I'm stuck with a bunch of useless Moonstone Control Shifts and other crap powers that I can't even use (see #1 above).
3. Nothing like getting hit with 2 Supernova's in one match!
4. One strategy I like to use is to deny the enemy's main colors by matching them first. You can't defend against Team Ups.

Current PvE event:
Not going to do well in this since I didn't get a Deadpool cover last event. Hopefully, I can grind it out to get the 1 Deadpool award at 40k.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

I have zero 3* Human Torch covers.

I have a 2/4/4, level 18 2* HT build because my tokens seem to want me to start using him.

Yeah, I finally saw my first 3* Torch from a heroic token yesterday.
