Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

I don't see a "Enemy Teams cannot use team ups without sufficient matches" fix in that list, or is it included in one of the other fixes?

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

I figure they fixed it when they limited team ups to 1 for the computer

Did we lose 2? Says we are still only at nineteen despite adding someone.

I see 18 now. Seems like Cleptic left, not sure who the other is.

Yeah, I jumped ship too, but I still plan on hanging around the board. This place is awesome.

I'm guessing it's worth saving enough HP to buy covers and maxing blue for Hood, assuming I don't get them from draws in the meantime?

Edit to add: My Thor is 5r/2y/5g, so I figured it'd be easier to get the two covers to optimize Hood than the three to optimize Thor. I'll probably save up another 100k ISO, see where my covers are then and push Thor if I haven't gotten enough to make someone else more attractive.
Have you gotten to play around with Cap and Hood yet? How do you like them?

The other is me. Left for pretty much the same reasons as Pinata. Getting a little burned out and frustrated with the slow progression towards 3*. Want to see if new rewards will re-ignite the flame.

Been using them in the Widow PVP and enjoying it. They definitely dominate any of the 2* teams I've gone up against. I've played a handful of higher, ~130 level 3* teams and won them all, though sometimes with a pretty good beating. Have been passing on any 166 teams, as I figure at a minimum, they'll probably just retaliate and beat me.

Oddly enough, I tried using them for a couple rounds in PVE and got my ass relatively handed to me, as compared to the pairing of MN Magneto & Classic Storm. Not sure if that was just bad luck or something else, but lost one or more characters on several normal or easier rounds with them.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

I think they must use alliance rank to determine how often you're attacked in PvP. The alliance I joined is ranked 47 right now and I'm getting attacked left and right. Went from 620 points to 350 in two hours!

Yeah, the only drawback to Cap is he takes a little while to get going, but once he does, he is brutal.

I think that some of that is the fact that it is the last day of the tourny and people have been focusing on PvE for the majority of the PvP for the Fury covers.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

Knowing that there's an incoming patch that's not out yet seems to make me even more angry when I get hit by consecutive team up powers, followed by enemy powers.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

So, I know I'm not the biggest contributor on the team, but I've been playing every day for awhile...until my Nexus 4 took a rather unfortunate dive off a counter yesterday morning. Might be off the game for a week or so until I get a replacement unless I get it to run well via Steam on my Win8 tab. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up at least.

Only a usable Invisible Woman and Hulk in my 10 pack. Blah.

Got the 3 10x hero pack for season 4. Only 1 three star cover that I can't use. May be time to quit this game.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

Well, I just lazily played through the PvE this time (I didn't need it, but I hope that green Hulk cover helps others in the alliance), and then I completely forgot about the Spidey PvP until the last minute... all that basically means is that you guys are stuck with me, since any other alliance worth their salt would've kicked me out by now.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

Unfortunately, the hard, cold truth is the only reliable covers come from the pve/pvp awards. Individual covers and packs are just too random.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign

Got five Heroic tokens for Season 4 and pulled one of the Blue Hood covers I was planning to spend Hero Points on! Now the question is whether to drop 1250 in HP to take his blue from 4 to 5, or to just play with my 5y/4b/4b build until I get lucky or a blue cover is offered for an event reward. I'm at 900 HP now, so I'll probably have a week or two to make up my mind.
