I got a hulk buster from a token. Have to delete one of these 2 stars: Hawkeye, bullseye, storm, black widow or ares to add it if I don't buy the 400 hero points. Only have Iron Man 1 star left for the Deadpool game.

Delete bullseye or hawk. The rest of those 2* are pretty useful imo.

Hawkeye is required for ultron too.

Don't dump anybody, you have several days before the cover expires. I've been getting 25hp rewards almost every other node plus you can always win some in DDQ. I bet if you keep playing you will win enough for a roster spot.

Free purple Scarlet Witch. A little too late for me, probably would have hit 750k if I had her the whole event. I'll take her though, maybe I'll somehow score a Hulkbuster, with the extra tokens.

Happy to get the Scarlet Witch. Nabbed a Hulkbuster from a token too :banana:

Don't get too excited. I've completed the Scarlet Witch node 16 times and not won one single fucking shitty token. Another way the devs fuck us, turn the odds so high you get no success.

Grand total haul: Second Running of Ultron Destroys the Servers

3* Human Torch red - already maxed
3* Mystique blue
4* X-Force Wolverine yellow
3* Captain America yellow - working on a second do I used him
3* Scarlet Witch green 500k prize
3* Scarlet Witch blue 750k prize
3* Gamora red
3* Colossus red
hundreds of HP

It would have to be an unbelievably rare and wondrous prize to get me to grind this one out again. Mother of God I'm burnt out.

Anyone else getting a 'check internet connection' on cellular or wifi for that matter?

A little late on this but my Ultron outer node team was 'required" plus patch and daredevil. My loki isnt high enough level but DD's purple works great on all the enemy tiles.
I got the free scarlet witch. I got a hulk buster from a token.

Nice rewards for the server issues too.

I didn't pull any 3* from the four compensatory tokens but a 1000 iso is a 1000 iso and 100 hp is always nice. I'd have yelled like a drunken viking had I pulled a Hulkbuster.

fumanstan 05-04-15 11:01 PM

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 
Yeah, I didn't get anything from the 4 tokens either. Still, I think the event was pretty cool overall and i'm with getting rewarded for their server issues each time :p

With the ISO update, all characters that can be upgraded basically got a free level. All it took was 1 ISO to level every 3 or 4 star character eligible.

Someone from my alliance did a pretty detailed breakdown of the new iso costs. Basically, it is really cheap to level any 3* up to 120 and it gets much more expensive per level after that (it is significantly cheaper to max out a 3* from level 40 now). But, with the rotating buffs being a thing, you should be able to level pretty much any 3* toon you have the covers to do so up to level 120 for like 15K iso. At level 120, they will be over 166 buffed. Most decent 3*s are very usable at 120, so this is a pretty big boon for transitioners.

Yeah, it's dirt cheap lower levels. My Hulk is is 123 and it ups the cost per level like 200 ISO per level.
Check your characters that can be leveled up. All my 3*/4* guys were at 2024/2025 ISO or 46/47 to get to the next level. My friend's were too. Basically I got 20 characters up 1 level for 20 ISO.

I'm keeping my Hood at lower level. I want him to cover as few colors as possible while he steals ISO.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 
thanks to deadpool, i had nearly 300k iso saved up. i just lvl'd up nearly all my 3* characters to their max. many of them were already in the 80's and 90's. essentially cost only about 10k in ISO to get them to 120. perfect. :up:

fujishig 05-05-15 12:03 PM

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 
So you're saying that I should have maxed out the guys who were higher than 120 already before the update? Crap.

Deftones 05-05-15 12:07 PM

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 
no. you should've not done anything with them. now, to get from 80 to 120 is like 30k or so for most characters. i had characters with a ton of covers, but ones that i never dumped iso into. it was finally worth it to blast all my saved iso, because i could level up about 8 - 10 characters to lvl 120 for less than 40k iso each.

danfindlay 05-06-15 05:50 PM

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 
I've snagged three DareDevil covers in the last couple days, two blues from tokens and one from DDQ. Got him to 5/4/3 now. Love the way he works with Patch, absolute killing machines.

Just won a 3* Gamora from an Enemy of The State token. They are always kind to me, love eots. Got her 4/4/1.

I lucked out with a Kingpin and a Fury this week. Can't complain.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 
Looking for some opinions and advice on what to spend my ISO and HP on (I have enough HP to buy 2 3* covers).

Here are my heroes who are at or are close to max covers, though some covers may not be the ideal build config.

Hulk (153) 4g 3r 5bk – buy 1 green cover?
Sentry (115) 4r 5g 4y
IM 35 (104) 5r 5b 2y – going to leave y at 2
Falcon (95) 5y 5b 3p
Daken DA (85) 3p 5bk 5b – purple is only 3, ideal build is 5/5/3?
Hood (72) 5y 4b 4bk – buy 1 blue cover?
BW Grey (70) 5g 5r 3p – ideal build requires 5 purple?
Mags Classic (68) 5y 2r 5b
Punisher (55) 5b 4g 4r – not sure of ideal build
Capt Marvel Mod (55) 5r 5bk 2y
Deadpool 3r 5p 3bk
She Hulk (40) 4b 5g 4r – I read that she is pretty decent now

And, here are my 3* heroes who I have completed and maxed.

Black Panther
Capt America
Thor
Patch

Thanks

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 
i would definitely buy a blood hood cover if you are going to spend HP. outside of that, i think it's the kind of thing depending on what type of player you are.
