My nephew noticed a few days ago that we had different Pursuit: milestones (mine was QSS, his was storm:Mighty). Has there been any official communication on how they select who each person gets? Because it's been kind of annoying that this is the second one i've gotten that was already very close to 7 stars (my QSS only needed 10 more shards when i got his milestone event, and now i have toxin despite being 10 shards away.) Literally 2 purchases from shop and i would have had him maxed, but scopely decided to make me waste an entire pursuit: milestone on him

So i'm struggling with DD8 node 7 because of the overtuned sentinels (seriously, 40M+ HP base, with healing every turn and huge barriers? where else you can do 118M damage and have all enemies still at full health at end). I have my daimon as high as i can take him, including level 1 orange iso, and he's the bulk of my damage, with QSS coming in second thanks to his % health steal (and striker to double it up). The rest of my team is mostly support, living mummy for tanking, hellcat to help with brimstone buffs and heal block (when they don't have immunity, which is the first set or two of rounds), and my 5th changes some though red guardian has been good for defensive buffs on the team, and mine is my highest combat power unit in game anyway. Is there any other global heroes that really shine against this node? Like that strip buffs easily, or do reliable % based damage, or clear barriers effectively? I'm not high enough to have some of the more special champions leveled up much (like storm mighty, only a few stars on her so she's weak AF, and my eclipse is only 3y3r)
I see nightcrawler in a lot of the first one-shot teams, is he still viable to bring up for this? (mine is still low stars, but wondering if his utility would make it worthwhile, and if he would still be useful in other modes too)

Just noticed, they updated the ISO8 hard campaign so they now include T2 iso8 credits (the "choose your own ISO crystal" ones). That's HUGE, considering how often you can spend 120 energy and get 0-3 crystals you need. Now you can manually build up over time no matter which node you play.
Much as i complain about them, you have to give scopely credit where it is due, and this definitely deserves credit.

So i've noticed for those of us who stay on top of the strike and battle pass objectives, we finish around a week ahead of it's end (i usually have 6+ days when i max it out). With the strike pass, most of the points from objectives are automatic from doing other daily stuff, but the battle pass in specific there is zero benefit to completing stuff after it's maxed but we keep getting that little red light saying "rewards here". Would it be of enough benefit/interest to players to ask scopely to add in bonus tiers, so when you max out you get some small reward for going above and beyond in those final days?
i.e. battle pass hits tier 100, but you keep getting more points, so you have bonus reward stages for 101+ that's something small but still nice to have, like 40k gold or 20 purple training mats, for each tier above 100. It would probably be all the same thing just because they aren't going to want to waste time balancing what items should go in, but just a little extra reason for people to actually do those additional tasks like daily/weekly arena, core spending, etc. I know scopely wants people to play more, so this might give players a little bit more to do each week just because we aren't likely to do something for total zero reward like it has now, but it should be a small enough impact that it won't hurt the economy (even if we got an extra 200k gold per day, that's not going to end the bottleneck).
So discussion is, given how they can only do so many things, and the high chance anything they do will be buggy, would it be worth them putting in a little time to just add those extra bonus tiers to give people who max their passes days early something to reward their continued participation? Or is it too small of a benefit to warrant asking them to dedicate any time/company resources towards it?

Today is the final day, 22+ hours left, and instead of giving a final day of daily "fight 5 times with golden age" for those who don't have GT19 yet, it instead says "event complete no more objectives remain". It doesn't even have the option to complete the GT19 with scorpion objective anymore (if someone happened to reach that GT on the last day). So i'm at 75 points, missing out on that last set of rewards including the 6M T3L5 ions which would be really nice to have. This happen to anyone else?

Edit: There we go. They gave the final reward tier out even though i was at 75. Looks like their community crew that reads reddit is actually doing a good job at keeping up on things and passing it up the chain. And in this case, those up the chain accepted it was a mistake and fixed it quickly. THank you community crew for getting that report sent to fix the issue.

Just finished mine, and noticed for some reason, i got thor shards instead of gold. Because yeah, really love getting shards of a character i've had maxed for 7 years instead of that 1M gold that's desperately needed. I'm guessing this has something to do with the people who weren't getting credit for it on the command center, and they just screwed it up even worse trying to fix it. Classic scopely!

I was stupid and brought up vigilantes for it, and once i got them to GT18 i finally whittled my way through the first city hero node, but the second is impossible at this point with them. (i think you need them at or mostly at 19 to have a chance to whittle it down). I found out that spider society is the go-to for it, but since building up new teams is such a strict choice due to massive lack of resources, i was wondering if the 4 city heroes from amazing avengers would be capable of doing it (preferably at no higher than GT19. I'd be fine with getting one enemy kill per day average if it was doable at GT18). Has anyone tried them out to see how they perform, and if so who is the best option for a 5th member to replace hulk? I know i'm jumping the gun trying to do DD8 when my cap is GT18 (only lvl 96 so far) but i managed to get this far in. I'm just concerned because amazing avengers are needed for so much stuff i feel like i really should be bringing them up, but still want to make progress in the DD.

I'll be hitting level 95 soon, which will give me access to DD6. First restricted nodes are global, and my best global team is winter guard (minus yelena, i've neglected her because...she's not great lol). But i realized if i took the whole team up to GT18, i could get more stars on my eclipse too. So while i would normally bring my daimon up for global, i'm wondering if it will just be better to start with the full WG team. Or will they be lacking in DD (since they get a lot of war bonuses) and not feasible to clear DD6 global nodes?

On the most recent ended event, i checked yesterday and was rank 11k. But my rewards were the 50%-100%, meaning less than 22k players. But other events seemed to indicate the game had closer to 80-100k from what i had heard/seen myself. I was really expecting to hit top 25% with that rank (i maxed my points, which was highest F2P could get, plus the points from daily store rewards on website, which got me a premium tier milestone too). Only possibility i could think is if this was one of their first "multiple groups" events so that somehow despite reaching a premium milestone, i was still near the bottom. Anyone else notice funny stuff with their rank rewards?

It's showing up on the main screen's alliance raids, then again if i go into annihilation raid 2 (shows up on 'details' under difficulty), or on "view" under the annihilation raids tab off to the right of the active raids. I've gone in and scrolled through every possible section in each of the areas. Can't seem to get rid of it, or find the actual source of the notification dot.

Just looked at the sentry event rewards, and i noticed it gives individual orb fragments for the thunderbolt diamond orb. If you get all milestones, it's 10 orb fragments. Clearly that's supposed to be 10 ORBS, not orb fragments, right?

This was a few years ago i think (maybe quite a few) and i can't recall which character it was, but was having a debate with my nephew who has also been playing a long time. And i know it's hard to recall one controversy out of the hundreds scopely has done, but in this case it was a paid-only character, which was supposed to be limited to iirc 5 purchases, which would take it to like 4 or 5 yellow, which was supposed to be the hard cap at launch. But some people found a glitch that let them purchase unlimited number of times, and it was painfully obvious when some people were using a 7 star character in arena that supposedly was impossible to get to 7 stars. It's bugging me that i can't remember, and feeling like i may be remembering wrong because i can't figure it out. Please help >.<

As the title says, did scopely ever state why they were skipping a DD so you had dormamu at 16, then the next one wasn't until super skrull at GT18? That's a pretty massive gap, both in the time it takes to grind from 85 to 95 player level, and the resource investment needed. Unless i'm missing something, it seems there isn't any new content really at GT17, so you just have to suck it up and go a few months with same content.
I did discover i was able to start DD8 already, and with GT17 i cleared 2 nodes, but node 3 is impossible because the insane amounts of healing that require you to be able to knock off at least 20-30% of an enemy's health per hit to whittle them down, and GT17 city heroes aren't capable of doing that reliably.
So again, was there any official statements from scopely at that time as to why they skipped adding content for GT17?

Log in, get an in-game mail from customer support giving me 3k power cores, and like 2.5M purple 4 and 5 ions.
It's like coming home and your partner bought you a big bouquet of flowers, or made an extravagent meal. You start to be excited and happy then stop to think "wait...this almost surely means they are buttering me up because they did something they know will upset me.
So did everyone get that mail with all the bonuses? I was surprised to not see a post about it already, since it naturally doesn't actually say what it's for i'm guessing there will be lots of speculation

my nephew (who has played much more than me) has told me that green goblin (classic) is a proper slot in for insidious 6. Is this true, and if so does he replace shocker or vulture? Seems like him plus vulture would probably be best for rewinds and controlling the battlefield so to speak, but not sure if there are downsides to putting him in.

I'm still only capped at GT17 due to level, but realized i can start working on DD8 for Odin because it doesn't have a GT requirement, just the Iso. Got one and a half nodes down on first day, so i'm looking ahead to what teams i'll need to build out. City hero is the first restricted node, and marvel church site recommends vigilante plus gwenpool. My gwenpool is still low level and low stars, so i was wondering if it would be reasonable to use my 2 diamond spiderman.

Also, side note, if anyone has suggestions/tips on how to farm blue isos effectively it would be greatly appreciated. Looking it up online gives some outdated results, like to do raids but from what i can tell all the raids that gave iso are gone now, so seems the only options are farming iso campaign that drops an average of like 0.5 or less per attempt when you need 81 of all 5 types for each character, or buying from store when one you need shows up but that is expensive and can deplete your ions really quick.

The content creators of course are all going to be max level, so even when they do "F2P friendly" guides, they are often using characters that you simply can't get at lower levels. I'm currently 91, which means it's impossible for me to get prof x, super skrull, mephisto, odin, etc because their GT requirements block me out. And naturally, they generally have their characters at GT20 or 21, so even when it's characters i do have the power level differences are staggering.

So i figured i'd ask here, where we have a lot wider range of players. Has anyone that's currently limited to GT17 (or even 18) been making progress on the hard tower? The first cell, even with my best team, i just can't do damage fast enough to clear through their huge health pools before Iron man gets his turn and just wipes the floor with my whole team (1.8M total power, fantastic 3, cul obsidian and a 664k thanos). Meanwhile i don't think i've gotten any enemy below 50-60% health. So if anyone also at a lower level has had success, could you tell us what your build and stats are to that some of us similar level people could benefit from your guidance?

This is something i've run into repeatedly since i took a multi-year break and came back in recent months. I'll be up against some PvE fight, go to do an attack that either hits all enemies, or just a long chain of them, and even though i don't have debuffs, and none of the enemies have evade, they will all make a dodge animation and it shows "missed". Right now i'm in the lowest of the symbiote towers on cell 18, and it's happening frequently. I'm not sure if it's a specific enemy that can do it (though i've looked through all the ones i would suspect might, and found nothing), but in particular my storm (mighty) ult has missed 5+ times now even though it's supposed to be unable to be dodged. Emma frost's 'slow all enemies' keeps having it happen, and sometimes single target attacks do it to for no reason. It's happened in so many different fights (like in other towers, in apocalypse levels, trials, scourges) i'm not sure if it's just some massive bug or if i'm simply missing a standard mechanic that was added in the years i was gone.

Edit: finally got through the node, after much struggle and my smart watch flagging me for 'high stress' warnings lol. Came down to just beating my face into that wall until luck was on my side, wolverine and apoc both had a sure hit ability, and had jubilee prime wolverine's second turn up with offense up, so i saved his special and it tore through their team pretty good, especially after apoc softened them all up with his ult. So at least that node is down, though due to depleting so many of my better units i couldn't clear cell 20 (had enough for 19 though). So at very least, i have a 2 star quicksilver symbiote now.

I loved the TOTA when it first came out, but i remember by the end of that league the drop rate on coins seemed to tank (i went from getting enough to be able to spend 90% of my time in ancients battles, to being lucky to find enough coins for 2-3 per day). What has the drop rate been like since they launched yesterday, is it abundant or terrible? I checked with faustus and he doesn't seem to have any for sale so i'm afraid it's low rate and don't really want to waste my time coming back into a league i already dropped for an event that would be more time farming than enjoying the content, so let me know what kind of luck you guys have had, and if you found any sweet spots/tips for getting plenty of coins

So i am online a lot, i play through browser, and only came back a month or two ago after a long break so sometimes i don't understand some things going on. But yesterday evening, i just happened to look and had 1200 teal gear orbs. There was no reward e-mail, no message about a mistake or something, just...1200 orbs in my inventory. My nephew who plays a LOT more than me happened to walk by and just looked confused and said "Well open before they disappear!"
So did anyone else have this happen, or have had it happen before out of the blue? And it wasn't the 'hidden orbs' thing that can happen with leveling (i hit 90 last week, and had a huge amount of 19 and 20 orbs stored up that were invisible until i hit 90). I was just afk for an hour or so, came back and found 1200 (exactly) orbs.
