it seems to be the logical place these things are heading and what the vocal part of the community wants.
I still don't get why they haven't ever done easy and hard versions of events where the easy one has progression like it used to be, 4* at very top and then 3* ect and a hard version with a guranteed 5* at top and then 4* like 3 star and 3* like 2 star but scaling starts at like a min assumption that your roster is at 270 or so to lock out new players from building up a high end roster.
but w/e. they promised with the alliance iso changes and the sell iso changes that there would be more changes coming soon. last time they started teasing stuff like that was after they introduced CP and then ultimately they introduced champions.
I got two 4* characters fully covered today.
First I pulled a Deadpool cover from the DDQ, which in turn gave me the last 4* Deadpool I needed. He's level 250 now-I'll start leveling him soon.
Secondly I pulled a Nick Fury from a Coversquirrel token-which makes him 5/3/5 for me.

first reaction to the new PVE style.
will be decent to get rewards randomly playing.
will be absolute horse crap for placement rewards.
placement needs to go if they think this is a good thing at all.
and while I can get the huge grind numbers, likely aim progression rewards at 3-4 full clears leaving lots of extra room for people to merely grind for extra rewards or to hit progression with mostly fully grinding out the easier nodes.
edit: also... hmmm to spend 700HP over the next few days chasing some jean gray blue covers or to continue saving for more roster slots

it's currently full, don't know if there is anyone who is completely burnt out to replace.
though we haven't gotten the full 2k in iso yet as someone keeps missing (not the same person
)More competition just means that there's more worthwhile targets to hit
EDIT: Bah, today's 4*s were lame. The cykes was the only color I actually had maxed, and the 2 tokens from the 25 CP were just carnage and HB

Kicked Rag's ass on the first try, got a purple Goblin cover. So he's now 1/1/0.

Hulkbuster being buffed right now is so good. 31k health and a punch that deals 10k minimum damage. Sitting in 5th in my bracket with 814 pts, with about 20 hours to go.

And had the good fortune to pull the Deadpool vault's Legendary token. Got my my third blue Falcon Cap.
PVE just seems like 3x the work and time now
actually there seems to be far more...
Screw this.
then just straight out constant rage.
most people seem to have just left understanding that there isn't any way the developers are going to change anything or even respond.
lol i go through once and I'm in 600 place...You got a great bracket.
Who's good to Champ next? I should have the iso for one in the next few days:
- Human Torch- 2 covers
- Grey Suit Widow- 1 cover
- Loki- 1 cover
All are currently at level 127, so it's just shy of 100k to champ them. But I'm working through champions slowly, The ones below are alreadychamped:
- Hulk
- BPanther
- Thor
- Beast
- Deadpool
- CAmerica
- Doom
- Blade
- Cage
- Magneto
- KK
I could wait for the deadpol daily to use the iso on IronFist or Falcon, just not sure who's best to prioritize.

IF is the answer to like 75% of marvel puzzle quest until you reach 4 star land.
IF + Cage + Falcon does great against most things, especially waves as you can just build strike defense and attack tiles up and murderize later stuff.
Message received! I'll save up. Looks like IF comes back on 7/4 so I'll have more than enough for him by then. Sadly he was one of my last 3*'s to even get one cover. I had a bad roster for a while
That's bad.
Looks like along with Moon Knight-they are showing screenshots of the MVP program in the background:
Jesus. I know it's F2P, but... come on

I'm a sucker for MPQ and with 1800 hours spent, I'll happily pay for more.

Man, I pretty much only play DDQ in this game. Tried to get some rewards in PvE and after doing a multi wave fight and getting 70iso three times in a row, I'm reminded why I stopped.
They do have some great ideas like DDQ and championing. But then they make you grind your ass off for peanuts in the rest of the game. It's frustrating.

gotta love the PVE test
MVP news time
so for 9.99 you get 25% faster healing (big woop)
and
aka 2 Legendary tokens, 6 Heroic tokens, 9500 ISO, 700 HP, 9 CP
so $5 of hp when it's on sale.
about $10 of iso but still basically worthless because iso is such a bad deal in general.
and some tokens.
I might bite if I need some HP sometime, but isn't all that exciting.
looks odd, but not terrible.

moon knight specs.

For $10 that ISO seems barely worth it. That's all I need right now, ISO ISO ISO. I can get that in what, three days of DDQ? The heroic tokens are basically free 2*s, not worth much. 9CP isn't as amazing, but better than nothing I suppose. Even with two month you still wouldn't have enough for a tier 1 CP token.
Major pass on this "feature"
even with that I am still only at 0/2/1 on GG.
at least a year away from him being usable. though at least he is the only one I pull from the classic tokens as I don't want IM or Cap to waste more roster space.
it is kind of nice to know I will never have to put any iso in them though. (since they have made it clear that there isn't a good reason to level 5* if you don't play PVP competitively)

Same here - denied black, followed by red & purple and it went pretty quickly (lvl 147 2/3/2). I pulled my first 5* Cap (yellow). I also pulled my final Fury today which I'm pretty pleased about. After HB he's my second covered 4*.

Championed Grey Suit Black Widow, got a Quake cover out of it.
Then got this season's 10 pack, and got a few 3-star champion levels out of it along with my 5th red Falcon Cap cover, bringing him to 1/3/5. That red attack hurts, especially with the yellow (which I have 1 of).

I know not many play on steam with me (and this might help people in general )
but if you want to support the VIP stuff with a small discount best buy is running a buy one get one 20% off on select gaming credit and steam credit is one of them (itunes and google play does not seem to be some of them)

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not actually spending any money on MPQ, but the steam sale is coming up. I guess 10% off is better than nothing, though hopefully frys will come through with another $50 for 40 or something
