I'm starting to get huge gains today with the essential character nodes. 1,000 - 1,600 each. I've got like 8,000 left to go for the final progression.
In the beginning I was getting 3-500 max for the big ones, so I was worried.

I'm sitting 19th with 107k points, about to call it a night. I have just under 9 hours to go, and I'll get to do a run through in the morning before work. I'm really hoping I don't come home to find out I'm 51st in the event...
don't worry, with how events usually go on the last day it would be shocking if you were 51st after work.
more likely 151st >.> as the last 4 hours or so tend to be the most important time to play an event.

Yeah, it sucks that he is still in the vault next season along with half the 3 stars I need covers for.

Got up and ran some nodes into the ground, specifically the ones with goons. Got up to 23rd, and that was with an hour left. I should be okay. I'll find out later. And all 5 of my season-ending Heroics were two-star garbage. The usual.

Hooo!! Got myself a Mystique finally
I am gradually collecting more covers and have enough ISO to raise the level of another of my characters from ~110 to 140-166. So far, I only have one level 166 character in Lazy Cap. Here are my candidates for next character:
Hulk
Punisher
Iron Man 40
Falcon
Lazy Storm
GSBW
Psylocke
Daredevil
Sentry
Human Torch
Who would be best to level up?

Those are all pretty B-tier or less characters. I guess....punisher? He's been pretty power creeped into obsolescence though
The only 2 I've gotten were from standard tokens, crazy enough.
I really like using Falcon-he's a great support character.
As far as support characters go, Falcon is a great deterrent against countdown and special tiles with a maxed out blue power. My level 114 Hood is nice for the steal ability but I lose big time if the enemy team lucks into a never-ending cascade, which happens too frequently. Then there's Loki, who I won my first green cover today. He's currently at level 96 but I can level him up to 130. That green would do great against those cascades, but is it worth it at the first cover where you get 2 4-countdown tiles? I also have a Lazy Daken I could bring to 102, but I don't have any purple covers yet.

43rd! Star-Lord is mine!
Now the new PvE only really excites me about the blue RockyGroot cover at the end of the progression rewards. Otherwise meh!

Probably not a popular opinion but I love it when I get the chance to use GSBW. Her purple is great.

No! Not blue! I need yellow!
GSBW is my main character. Very little survives her sniper rifle, especially since it so often triggers cascades.
Dr Campino
Member
I need a yellow, too, but I wouldn't complain about a third blue...

This is an excellent point. As much as I enjoy her skills I can't get more than a few runs out of GSBW (lvl 127) before she is done. My 102 Falcon is worse.
ZackieChan

Yeah, I have a pretty high level GSBW, but I don't use her often for this reason. Not sure who could tank purple for her, though. Or who produces enough green to get her to 19 for the triple-kill.

Roster spots get expensive so quickly, I need to IAP to be able to recruit Starlord and Lazy Thor
Worth the $2 or whatever, IMO. Esp for LThor!

Looks to be full at the moment, though I'm not sure everyone is active.

I haven't gotten the full "all 20 members played" reward in months. It is usually between 13-17 people playing.
yeah, I can't remember the last time I saw more than 16. most of the time it's 14-16 thus I believe there are 4 members that just don't play anymore but I haven't cared enough to pay attention to who.
but I hadn't got my daily today thus I can at least do this
so we get kidInsomnia, shaowebb, xenocide, anilones19
sadly all the season data is already removed so we can't check to see if they played in that... same with the last story chapter.
we can look at the current events though and see that those 4 plus myself are the only ones that haven't done anything in the pvp about to end
they haven't done anything in the new pve but that should be expected as they didn't log in yesterday.
I believe shaowebb just randomly plays because he got a job that requires a lot of focus, he is the only non commander of the players I mentioned though (he was one then left for a bit, and then when a character he wanted came we let him back in and he got a higher score than anyone else in the guild

Sorry. I'm KidInsomnia. I haven't started the PVE yet, I was waiting for a sweeter bracket.
EDIT: Racking up some Divine points now tho.

I went hard last season. They actually had heroes I needed and because I took it easy the previous season, and my brackets were cake. I think I got the top 10 on three different occasions, and #1 on two others. This might be a lite season though, since the prizes are heroes I haven't already started, and it's hard to get new spots at 450 hp a slot.
it's all good, I wasn't calling anyone out just showing what little data I could in regards to why only 16 people had logged in
the changes to daily rewards will help with that, but I get not wanting to go after heroes because you don't have slots... I only have like 1 more 1 star and 2 two stars I can get rid of to make room for other characters.

16 daily players is actually pretty good. There are lots of alliances that only get half of that. Mine usually varies between 14-18.
So is it just me or does Starlord seem...not that great? I like that they were trying to do something diffrent with him, and I like the idea of his abilities making your abilities cheaper or your opponents abilities more expensive, but with everything revolving around countdown tiles it just seems....sub par. This is the type of ability I would think would be PERFECT for trap tiles, but this just seems....mediocre at best.
I haven't played with starlord yet, but I have to have two questions answered before I can even remotely form a thought on him.
1. Does his abilities effect himself, aka does his yellow move make his other moves cheaper.
2. Can his yellow move or his red move stack, for example if I have the red move activated twice at max level do all of the enemies moves cost 4 more to use?
As far as I can see and from what it seems to me, with it worded as "with at least 1 such tile on the board" I would say that they do not stack for the effects. His abilities deal decent damage but even with that it just doesn't seem like enough to be worth it.

Anytime I use countdown tiles, they almost always get matched up miraculously by the AI.
it does seem that way which in general would make him just ok.
I'd maybe goof around with him, spidy and someone else maybe psyloche if I ever got the covers, but nothing amazing seems like it will come from him.
the big plus with spidy is that the purple matches would double up as defenseive matches, and then with the yellow move triggered the web move would only cost 3 which could do a good amount of lock down. I was thinking psylocke with them because she has some cheap moves that would benefit the most from cost reduction. but yeah, he much like electra feels like a 3 star that was just made a 4 star because it's their goal to add a lot more 4 stars this year.
That is pretty much exactly my thoughts. At least they increased the amounts of HP/ISO you get from the daily rewards which will help with getting slots etc.
The new 8 hour refresh on PvE has been just what I needed for that. I can log in 3 times a day, do the one or two good paying nodes, and still pull a top 50 finish which is good enough for me most of the time. Makes the game a lot more relaxing.
