I have had some bad 4 star luck lately. My last two in as many days have been Fury and IW covers, which are useless to me.

due to the mags cover today I got a legendary token and got a red cover for red hulk.
I think I am taking most people's luck.
Dalek your PVP grinds amaze me. Maybe its the brackets I get stuck in since I unknowingly leveled up Silver Surfer like an idiot. But after the first three matches of any PVP I'm stacked against fully leveled 4 star teams. I just can't do the grind enough to keep up. So I stay in the PVE.
I don't remember who it was but someone in this thread posted a guide about how to hit 1000 in each event. It doesn't always work for me-and it depends on how many whales are in it-but if it's a cover I want, I'll do it. I know pretty quickly if it's a tough slice, and I knew the Captain Marvel one I was in was pretty tame so I took the risk.
The big tips I remember were that you get to 300-400 and then stop. When there's like 30 hours left, get to 500-600. And at that point you should shield. Queue up fights that are over 30 points - you should never attack someone under 30 points because they will retaliate and you'll lost points. When you get to 800 or so, shield again and wait for everyone to attack you. When the attacks cool off, queue up fights, heal your characters and wait for health packs to regen.
And of course my fully maxed Hulkbuster and Iron Fist help a lot.
And as of lately I always join the 4th or 5th slice. The Whales seem to take the 2nd and 3rd so they're brutal.

Once again you came through, thanks Zulux!
Nailed it first try....even if it was a little close.
Edit: that netted me my first red Deadpool bringing him to 1/2/3. The long long road to usefulness begins
30 hours? way too soon to start shielding. Float at 600-ish and make your first push at like 8 hours, for 800, and then go for 1k at 3 hours.
I should clarify, 30 hours is when you should start to push to 600.
glad it worked out for you. I only had 1 green cover so I didn't try at all.
with miles likely next I might have a chance with him since he has inviso and I think I have 4 total covers for him.

Ha, my strategy is still being used!
It doesn't work that well for me these days, though it's possible that I just haven't been trying for 1000 much lately. Either that or my brackets don't allow for that strategy much. Maybe I should give it a go again soon, with this Cyclops PvP.

Well that explains the 10 pack I won today having just one three star and all the rest were two stars ;'(
Me too buddy. I clearly nearly every node 7 times and I came in 175.
though I am going to bed now and will likely fall, and I work tomorrow so I can't do optimal clears but hopefully I can at least get a top 100.

I joined the event late this morning at number 27. Better than grinding for days.

I like Falcon!

Yeah mine is at like Lv 155, not far to champion him.

He's such a solid support character. Mine's at 169 and the Falcon/Cage/Fist combo is my daily "go-to" for the Deadpool Daily. Sure, you don't have an offensive red or blue, but both passives are very helpful.

My Jean is near Lv 150, almost good and usable. Hulkbuster still needs a bunch of red.
Though I did pretty well in that PvP with Cap and X-Force Wolvie. Currently at 800 in the Torch PvP now.
I will likely get 1 drax cover but that is most likely it as even though I started late and got into a decent bracket I am going to have to get near the 25CP progression in a little over 2 days in order to get a top 100.
wish they would stop making PVE competitive and just make it progression based.
new splash screen
also they haven't said what yet but there is going to be a civil war event.

The same thing JUST happened to me, and with most of my 2* Champs being maxed, it was incredibly useless. Also, MPQ if you want to keep fucking me, please use lube. Cashed in 20 CP...and got my 1st Nova cover that I don't have room for, and just champed SW...who gave my Green Goblin. It's a wonder I keep playing a game that I hate lol

I joined a decent bracket and landed at 49th. I'm happy with that, but it's yet another dip into the HP to buy a slot for a single-covered character I won't be able to use in 2016.
So there's that.
i should stop goofing around and just grind. I think I can make the 25cp reward if I focus, but I keep getting distracted. Maybe I will put back on Miraculous ladybug as it isn't very distracting and I am oddly finding it endearing despite basically being french sailor moon lol.
on the flip side on my path of inefficientness I championed 2 star daken today
meh to much effort, and the heroic event looks like another garbage roster, I will likely skip it.
Recently I've been able to finish championing various two star cards, I sell them on after getting all the rewards - you get 125 Hero points and a bunch of ISO for it. And you free up a space
Btw, what are 'whales'? I''ve seen it mentioned a few times, is it people who use Deadpool a lot?

Jesus, brother. That's really unfortunate. I'm really sorry.
Ah, thanks. I decided ages ago that if I spent any money on it I'd, in effect, lost the game.
Still winning!
I spend money on the game-just not as much as the Whales. I spend more time playing this game than any other so I have no qualms against paying the developers.
But the whales are spending thousands on the game-make no mistake. To get a fully covered Green Goblin from a Legendary Token means spending 100 bucks on a pack with a guaranteed token-which gives you SMALL chance of a 5 star-and the percentage of getting a SPECIFIC 5 star like GG is even smaller. We're talking insane amounts of money.
the biggest confirmed whale I know of in MPQ has been reported to customer support multiple times, they have cleared him multiple times and it is said they spend over 10k a month on the game.
that person has multiple champed 5 stars on their roster with at least one of them being max champed.

Could I see that roster lol
The whale to end all whales
they made it illegal to link his roster or post his name (well it's illegal to post anyone else's roster or name in MPQ forums in general) thus I don't have that persons info. when I saw his roster it was like 3 days after green goblin released and he had a champed green goblin halfway fully champed, as well as 3 different fully champed old man logans and at least 2 champed of the other 5 stars. he had a huge roster lol.
I did the exact same thing yesterday with the same result. Talk about going from high to low.

I think I'm in the minority of people who really like Heroic events. Quick stages, my team is always highly powered, and I can grind down a bunch and finish high.
Currently hovering around 20th, it's great.

they are okay when the roster doesn't suck, but the last one and this one have a pretty crappy roster unless you are using 4 stars. (this roster is slightly better than the last one because at least some of the 4 stars are useful the last one was just horrible)
is the team I am running which isn't going to horrible against the level 130-140s I am facing.
I am only planning on grinding enough to get 1 cp though, as I will be getting 25 cp tomorrow and am sitting at 14 so it would be fun to pull twice tomorrow. maybe 3 times if I can do the miles DDQ which I should be able to since he has an inviso move thus I might get 3 legendary pulls tomorrow, and then nothing for a while.
in other news
with the upcoming civil war event we might see multiple new 4/5 star characters. (as none of the new characters will be 1 2 or 3 stars) I wonder if this will be like when they introduced hulkbuster and the other character and just ran the same event twice back to back with different rewards. either way people might need some more roster spots and we might need to decide what side we want the alliance to be on

I finally finish the prologue! But I've moved on to story mode and I'm confused. In venom: heroic, rescue aunt may, and deadpool daily, most of my roster is locked out. Just says "this character doesn't qualify for this category of this battle. Of course its all my good 3 and 4 star characters. I'm only allowed to use 1 and 2 start heroes for the most part. The big exception is Black Widow. The 1 star is locked but I can used the 3 star. The only 3 star I'm allowed to use.
