Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Mod Edit: why not join the dvdtalkers alliance? There are plenty of slots left if you are willing to pay for additional space (cost will be somewhere between 1100-2000 hero points depending on when you join). The benefits of a big alliance are worth it, imho. Reply below if you are interested. -Groucho

I am and I'm addicted as hell to it. I know they nerfed a bunch of shit and people are pissed off, but I'm still playing it. I'd like to add some friends via facebook so I can get more gifts and send gifts. I've only got 1 friend as of this point. If anyone playing it and wants another friend, feel free to PM me so we can link up accounts. Thanks.

I was so stoked till i read it was "free" to play. Really wish they'd offer a pay version with everything unlocked. I'll just stick with PQ2

re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I'm playing. I'm on the second mission, with Juggernaut still. Been playing for a couple weeks now and enjoying it quite a bit in my spare time.

re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Dont' let the F2P scare you off. I've progressed quite a bit without paying a dime, but you have to be willing to grind the hell out of the game. I have some pretty solid characters.

fumanstan, if you want to link up, PM your facebook stuff and we can send each other gifts when you get them. it is helpful to stock up on iso and boost.

re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

It's pretty fun. Beats "Candy Crush Saga" and the like.

Seems to me that the F2P element only becomes necessary if you want a big roster of heroes, but maybe I'm missing something.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

if you want a big roster quickly. i've got 18 different guys and that is from not paying a dime. also if you want to level up quickly with their skills, then pay. grinding away allows you to slowly build your characters.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I reached a point where the cost to expand my roster exceeded the amount of hero points I was getting for free.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I'm only at 8 guys, and so far it hasn't seemed that easy to earn points to open new slots. I've spent $5 on the game that I used towards new roster spots, but that money was thanks to Google Opinion Rewards which has been giving me free Play credit over the last few months. I feel bad having to sell off guys that I want to keep, even if they were kind of lame versions of other heroes (Dark Avengers Hawkeye and Dark Avengers Black Widow).

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Dark Avengers Hawkeye is actually Bullseye, is he not?

Yup.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Is this on the iPad or just Facebook?

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

It's on iPad. It's also on Steam.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

And Android. :p

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

if you opened up all "quests" make sure you go back and replay all the ones that have hero points. also, grinding some of the events will get you some decent points as well.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I take it back. I lied. I don't have 18 characters. I have 12 and have enough hero points to open up 2 more. I thought I had more, but if I were to open up the characters i have not recruited yet, it would put me at 16.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Downloading now. Hopefully I'll be fine.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

If we don't hear from you then we'll know something terrible must have happened due to downloading the game :(

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Downloaded and have played a few times. Pretty fun. How do you earn gold coins and purple crystals? I've done 4 battles and didn't get any coins from winning. What do you get from winning battles?

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

So are people still playing this? I noticed that they've started having events where alliances can rank and earn rewards. Any interest in one for dvdtalkers? Was thinking about starting one if people would participate.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I'm still playing it a lot.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Hey, I'd be interested in an alliance! My roster is basically two stars that I'm trying to max and getting more 3 * packs (so I'm not that high level).

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I still play it. Quite frequently. I'm all for a DVDTalk alliance. I'd ditch the one I'm in no problem. I'm the one who is getting those other assholes free shit. :lol:

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I'll join if the extra numbers will help you all, but I'm pretty much done with match3 games. I'm trevor88 in gamecenter.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I'll join a DVDTalk alliance. Are alliances cross platform?

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Can this be sideloaded onto a Kindle Fire HD?

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Ok, I created an alliance 'dvdtalkers' for anyone who wants to join. Apparently they only allow 5 members unless you want to use stupid numbers of gold coins to upgrade it to allow more. If we get it going, are actually getting rewards for it and more people want to join, maybe I'll drop a little cash on coins to expand our roster, but I've been not spending any real money on this, so for now we'll stick with the default.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Just joined. I would toss in some cash for coins to build the alliance larger.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I also joined (as "Mister Hand"). You may want to make it private too, if that's still an option.

How much does it cost to upgrade? If we fill up and more people want to join, I will also kick in some coins.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

FYI, anyone in the alliance should also link up facebook accounts. that way you get a constant stream of gift ISO from other players.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I just made the group private. I wasn't sure if that would make it so people couldn't find it, but I don't see any way to invite people, so hopefully it still shows up in searches.

It's $5 (600 hero points) to add a sixth person. I'm not sure if that per-person rate goes up or down or stays the same as an alliance gets larger. If we hit our cap and people are still wanting to join, we can figure out the best way to handle it.

I've thought about linking my Facebook, but don't want the app spamming my friends with 'maxfisher77 just defeated Loki! Download this app now!' crap. If it doesn't do that, I'd be happy to link up on Facebook with everyone in the alliance. I really enjoy the game, but at least on mobile, it sucks at providing info on things like alliances & Facebook linking.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

You can change the settings where it doesn't spam your friends. Also, it's just linking accounts of people who play the game, so when they win ISO or other sharable prizes, only the people who play the game get those things. And IIRC, the notifications are within the game only, not on facebook.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I'm definitely down to join the alliance if there's room.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Requested to join too.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Requested too. I'll throw in some coin too.

Like I said before, though, my team isn't the greatest. I learned too late that it's better to concentrate on leveling guys with full covers, so I have no maxed out characters at the moment. So if you guys are leagues ahead I don't want to lag behind. Also the hero restriction on this venom event is pretty crappy. I'm not leveling up Hawkeye just to use him here (they really need to boost him or at least allow you to pick the placement of his countdown tiles).

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I can agree with this. I have many of the 3 star characters for this event (Psyloke, Black Panther), but they aren't leveled up very much. So I have to rely on my some of my most crappy characters I abandoned long ago, like Iron Man and standard wolverine to even fight. I've got like 3 guys who are 80 and scores more above 50 and I can't use any of them. :lol:

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Ok, I promoted the four of you who'd joined to commander and paid 600 to open up a sixth spot for the next person who wants in. It looks like the price for each new spot goes up by 100. If you're in the alliance and want to join up on Facebook as well, send me a pm and I'll send a link to my profile there.

I flipped through everyone's rosters, have you guys been paying cash, or have you just unlocked that many spots with hero points earned in game? I've been playing just about daily since the day this thread was posted about it and thought I was doing good to have unlocked 18 spots. Seeing as how I finally plunked down some real money to expand the alliance, I went ahead and opened another spot with some of the leftover points, but am still way below some of you in terms of roster size.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

Onlypaid once for is. All the coins i have earned are through the game. It is a grind but it shows you can succeed at p2p games.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I just paid 700 to open up a 7th slot.

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

I opened the 8th slot.

Yea, I paid money, after it sucked me in. Because I started super late, I'm way behind (I just got to the Ragnarok daily prize this week). I'm at the point where I see the top end as almost unattainable, so I don't think I'm going to sink much more in (but we'll see when the next sale is). They seemed to make it much harder for newbies a few weeks ago when they stopped giving out two star rewards at relatively low point levels for events.

I wish I at least did a bit more research before I spent the gold like candy. Man it's tough to level up after around 70 or so...

Re: Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign
 

The good news is if everyone plays regularly, the alliance rewards are usually pretty good. You can build up coins and is quickly.
