I think it’s almost time for another Duck Season.
I loved the PVE it had a great story line and a nice mix of enemies, and Howard’s Crash of Titans is (/could be) just around the corner.
I’d be a great to try it out with the new system and would be a good way to delay another new character release (feeling inundated).
He’s for sure not a top character but I think that fully covered and leveled he can be an awesome support character.
He’s got invisibility, stun, Special tile control, green control/shake up.
His invisibility can be pretty deadly, I learnt early on in his pvp to get rid of him first even if he was the loaner for that very reason.
and if you needed a break, duck season provided it since Howie would never be essential or required for anything meaningful, and wasn’t a great, overpowering character.
What's the point of a character who is only available at certain times and isn't all that good to begin with?
Aren’t they all kind of only available at a certain time? Yes there is rng but really the only reliable way to get a specific characters cover is if it is given as a reward for something. With close to 40 4*s now that sometimes means months before that specific reward comes up. Plus probably a third of the characters are not all that good to begin with. I would rather have another Howard cover than a TAH, Elektra, Punisher, Reed, Kate Bishop, Winter Soldier, etc; not to mention all the other good characters where rng gives me a 6th of a specific color that does me no good.
We play the same things over and over again why not put his event back into rotation.
Or why not have 2 events going on at the same time. The other day PVE had a 48 hour sub and I hardly played for a whole day. I hit PVP a few times but that was it. When that happens why not put 2 events on at the same time? Especially with the new PVP timer set up. I bet even without the 48hr sub if there were two events at the same time I could run Slice 2 in one and Slice 4 in the other and hit max progression in both.
OK I’ll be quite now since I turned your one comment into a rant about something else all together…
“Howard the Duck confirmed as returning in Story and shortly after, Versus. Not technically Duck Season as there will not be an overarching Vault and there won’t be a Howard DDQ.
(*Disclaimer: At least, that is the plan as of today.)”
What is funny is their “Joke” characters are some of the first ones on my to-do:champ list since they apparently are the only ones that will see repeat use as PVP essentials.
I use him every day in the DDQ. He’s pretty damn fun to play with.
I’d love to see another run of any of the so far one time PVEs. I didn’t get to play Growth Industries when it was first run nor the Cho PVE. My dream would be a whole month long of just those events although I know that means no new characters so not even a remote possibility.
Agreed – And the PVE introducing him was hilarious! I don’t think I’d ever LLOL’d (“literally laughed out loud”) that much at MPQ-dialogue before that. (I believe I read at the time that Howard’s comic writer Chip Zdarsky contributed?)
