R their waves in this

[StevO-J]

My favourite time slice starts in just under 7 hours and I’m kinda curious too. Can anyone say what’s in the first sub, presuming there is a first sub? Any wave nodes in there and nodes that give out tokens like the most recent new events (Enemy o/t State, Hearts of Darkness)?

Hopefully this is not just another ‘beat the Dark Avengers for the Nth time’ (for N → infinity), but recent additions have been fairly diverse so that’s a positive sign.

Thanks I was going to write a similar post describing the event.

As of right now there are no Survivor nodes but with the new goon type I can see one occurring. I am happy there is a new goon type. They are similar to Ultron Sentries as they place a lot of special tiles except it’s by CDs and they cannot move the board. So far, they are not too dangerous. I find using Mohawk to work really well because she can flood the board with her Attack tiles.

I also want to thank the devs for making Venom
the T100 reward. We have all agreed that yellow is his best color so it’s a huge surprise to see this one as his T100 as opposed to the expected
cover.

Enjoy everyone! Don’t grind too hard, it’s Christmas

Event is awful good luck geting final nod done at level 285+

Event is awful good luck geting final nod done at level 285+

I have a bunch of 166 and a 270, I have no difficult getting to the final nod and, with Luke, a boosted character and a character who could make use of enemy special tile(such as Dr Oct), it is not that difficult to finish the final nod.

the problem is, I completed the final nod around 10 times and still couldn’t get the CP. and without the essential 4 star spidey, plus it is Christmas that I can’t spend much time on games, it is not possible for me to get the leg token or the new venom.

Finally there is a new story event with new goon, it is interesting, well, but during the Christmas…

Thanks for the work on this MrCheddar. I will add it to the original post

[Roopesh80]

This is great…finally some new goon types…

And including Doc Ock as a villain was good too…better than seeing the regular mash up of Dark Avengers…

Good Job D3…am looking forward to playing the rest of the event…

Your Cage is level 119, that’s what’s wrong with your game.

Maybe you REALLY should level your chars one of these days.

tell you what you pay for the ISO and i level them..

lol Final stage on stage 2

4 star vemon 280
and 2 goon monsters

and what is better those goons feed VEMON GREEN meaning hello to be hit for 4k of damage every 2 to 3 rounds

Thank D3 for making this stage 2 cause now i can flick off the remanding of this pve and enjoy my holidays… best of luck to the suckers to put themself though this

You know, I should try Mohawk. If you’re stuck w/ a lousy board, the strike tiles will easily flood the board.
Either that or use Cage to reduce the passive damage.

and I agree that Venom yel is easily his best power. Brock is not great as far as



characters are concerned, but he will be needed for an essential down the road.

Here’s an upvote for your comment. Congratz.

Okay, now to direct our attention to your comment re: Ock. The problem w/ having ock in a node w/ green spammers is that he can quickly use his aoe against your team. And while the board is flooded with enemy tiles, you can’t use Ock on YOUR team to get rid of them. So while I appreciate how D3 wants to use a different villain to move the story forward, in this case the inclusion of Ock means the player has one less effective character to bring against the symbiote nodes.

i wonder how many would play PVE if

a.. they would take away the 4 star needed in the Ess node

B.. they would offer them for sale with the cover for enter amount here

i will keep pushing but if i fall below a certain level i think i will quit.

after stage 1 was 34th

also they said they are going to replay this… I wonder if they are replaying the PVE or if VEMON will be the sim reward

pts went up what 10% from stage 1 to 2…

I played MPQ long enough to remember when the required 3* is a 10% draw in the cover pack. If D3 decides to bump up the essential rates to at least that, I think more players would participate. On the flip side though, if more players can clear essential then it would make placement even more competitive, and this could in turn lead to greater burnout among pve players. So it’s a glass half full, half empty situation imo.

[Akari]

These new goons are pretty cool! They’re annoying attrition-wise, and things can very quickly spiral out of control, but I’m just happy to see things other than 7000 damage sniper rifle/deadly shots and threaten/tommy gun death combos.

[DanBenZvi]

First node of Empire State is a bad joke. Board filled with green and black (neither of which the mandated heroes on this node can make any use of), goons that hurt you when you match away enemy special tiles, said special tiles getting boosted every turn…
