Howdy, I am relatively new to the game, about 6 weeks in? haven’t even gotten my 1st doctor doom from the resupply award yet, tomorrow IIRC.
IMO, this current heroic mode event is way too roster limiting. I have a pretty solid roster for a noob, and I don’t find it fun to NOT have 90% of the tools I’d normally use at my disposal. I don’t mind a few chars here and there being locked out, but I think they went too far with this one, not fun.
yep, I’m bitchin/QQin, whatever, it’s my feedback for my idea of fun vs not fun, so there ya go.
Heroics were meant to be the most challenging PvE content in the game. I’m guessing that a 1* roster can still do okay in normal mode, but you shouldn’t expect to do well in hard mode since it was meant to be hard. If you’re having trouble in normal mode too, then the devs messed up big time.
Except the game isn’t difficult, literally all they are asking is ‘do you have these (useless) characters levelled?’. It has nothing to do with how goo you are at matching 3 coloured blocks.
Yes he is. He hits like a wet blanket and his skills are too costly to be useful for PVE purposes. Sure he can maybe helpful for the first round of tiles that come out. Then two turns later a goon drops a tile and you’re SOL.
I’m still a big fan of Heroics and limited rosters. For 90% of the events in this game, you generally use the same characters over and over again. I find that limiting rosters adds a little bit more of a challenge and is a totally new experience. Stuff like finding out that MN Mags is a badass is only really emphasized when these things start popping up.
I think as opposed to being hard (although it definitely can be that) heroic modes challenges you to use different character combinations and perhaps think of strategies that you wouldn’t normally use. With that said, I can understand your frustration OP. Don’t give up and if you’re a new player, work on the prologue to help you level your characters.
Yea! Take that HAMMER Goons! Snarky Remark so I can have Modern Hawkeye light you up with his…Wait a minute, why is Hawkeye’s tile at 4 now!!! (assuming Snarky Remark is still broken of course)
DAMN YOU BAGMAN!!!
I have never done this, but I can definitely see it happening a lot in the next week.
For me the biggest issue with the roster that we can use is the lack of variety with the colours…
characters we have:
Torch: red / green / black
mStorm: red / green / black
psylocke: red / blue / black
panther: yellow / blue / black
mHawk: red / blue / “purple”
IM35: red / yellow / blue
wolvie: green / red / yellow
bagman: yellow / blue / purple
yep so to ensure we have full coverage of all the colours we are forced to use Bagman… “joy”
And let’s not forget that you get tons of team variety in the simulator, too, but you’re allowed to use strategy and self determination at the same time. Here, it’s just trying to put together the same jigsaw puzzle of a superhero team when several pieces are clearly missing from the box.
no way I’m keeping Bagman just to have a purple power. At least when purple is a dead colour you don’t match it as often and have a higher chance of matching away pesky Pistols and what not.
Not mention it keeps you from powering the enemy’s Bullsye
did the missions with torch, mstorm, and awolvie.. No blue, purple user and no active yellow skill and no matter
I have a fully covered lv6 Bagman. Snarky Remark costs 7AP and can target two selected countdown tiles. I’ve used him on goon missions with Torch tanking yellow for him. This is the only time I’ve found Bagman to be of use.
I play this game to have fun. Heroic Events are not fun. I think I’m done with them. Why are they not fun?
The current Venom event:
Rosters, first and foremost. How in the hell am I supposed to defeat scaling enemies that reach 200+ level with a roster of characters that includes only three 3* characters (who don’t play well together), two 2* characters (I don’t recognize the existence of Bagman), and two 1* characters. And by the way, just to stick the knife in, none of them are buffed accept the Human Torch who no one has covers for yet. Iron Man, Storm, Hawkeye, and Bagman are basically useless here without buffs, leaving us with Psylocke, BP, Torch, and Wolverine - and they all have basically the same offensive colors, severely limiting our damage output against ever-increasingly difficult foes. Not fun.
I’m actually fortunate in that I have a maxed BP, lvl 120 Psylocke, maxed Wolvie, and a 1/1/1 Torch. But after a single fight against enemies who have goons generating AP for them (completely eliminating the strategy surrounding match-3 games, btw) my team is decimated. I can fit in one, maybe two fights before I’m done. That’s not fun. I just shrug and go do something else. In other words, THE GAME IS CHASING ME AWAY.
I realize these things are supposed to ramp up the difficulty compared to the prologue, but this is insane.
