[PVE Test, Reward vs Participation] [Merged Topic]

Curiosity question - Will anybody actually grind and play competitively to get his covers?

I know I won’t. I’ll play for ISO.

Totally Awesome Hulk and Colossus…I’d be surprised if they can fill a bracket for this. To make matters worse it’s a 7 day event. I’ll play for CP progression and I 'm willing to bet that’s probably a top 50 finish.

PvE rewards as a whole have been pretty bad for the past 3 months.

Unstable iso is 4 days, 24/48/24

In honor of this post, I want to try to make Fertilizer Hulk a new nickname for Cho.

Looks like I picked a great week to go on vacation. I’ll pay the 20 Iso and SKIP this event.

Nah, it’s a 4 day. I agree that my Colossus covers will go straight to Iso. At least with the current Heroic I use Daredevil enough and he was close enough that I could justify championing him.

If y’all really do take the event off, and placement looks easy enough, then yeah, I’ll go for top 10. That plus a couple 3* hulk pulls gets me to 5 green, which is pretty much required for him to beat a 270 anyone in DDQ.

i really hope they balance TAH much like the treatment bullseye, IM40, and quicksilver got

Glad I don’t bother for PVE progression ever. This event would make me want to stop.

Somehow I had Cho at 5/5/0, finally at 5/5/1 and soon 5/5/2. Where are my IceMan covers to drop like this? 4/2/2 (and another blue in off-season, God Forbid it might be something like Balance of Power making 1K practically impossible) cries foul/conspiracy!

I think once you max a 4* the game decides it has taken enough Iso from you and drops down to 10 icon_lol.gif

I was thinking that at the very least he might be a good blue battery, but then I realized that power creates a countdown tile! Man O Man.

I never finish in top 10, so it really doesn’t bother me. I doubt I’ll put much effort in except for ISO and CP. It is a sucky top 10 reward, that’s for sure. I think he is the worst character in the game. I’m yet to see him in PvP, and only have one alliance mate with him on their roster. I’ve sold like five on his covers myself.

The sad thing is I think a few tweaks could make him more usable.

His black for example. Too many things going on. If they want to keep the stun, then there shouldn’t be a restriction on the minimum number of blue tiles on the board. If they want to retain limitation on the number of blue tiles on the board maybe he doesn’t need to be stunned or doesn’t need to be healed.

His Blue should generate blue charged tiles instead of converting them, which would allow cascades to happen. Or lower the countdown tile.

His green’s saving grace is its targettable, but it’s way too expensive. Maybe they’re overvaluing the value of specific tile selection…

His blue is arguably his worst power. It’s counter productive because it destroys the green tiles you are trying to match, not to mention it is dependant on a countdown tile. It only adds a meager amount of damage to his green, which you will be lucky enough to fire off more than a couple of times before the enemy team fires off some nukes. He is heavily dependant on getting a favorable board; you really need to pair with a green generator like gbw or mmarvel to reap any rewards, but then you are still in it for the long game which can get dicey fast.

I actually don’t mind the concept and I like his color match set, but at the end of the day he still needs some serious revising.

Simple fixes for CHulk:

Green - lower the cost
Blue - lose the countdown
Black - lose the blue condition and make it a true heal if it isn’t already (shows how little I have used the power that I cannot remember if it is true or burst)

I think it’s very telling that if given the choice between using a fully covered and maxed 3* hulk or cho l would pick the former

I’d pay 20 to never see the PvE event card.

…so, having HIM as the top price for the new scaling tests ( not to mention another dud in COLOSSUS ) is going to give them very ineffectual data."

Confirm Or Deny?

Confirm. I was already planning to half ass this event, before the test was announced. Doing a six clear for optimal for those rewards, is not happening.
