The reason you failed your Sim is because you left Blade as a fortifier and Rachel as a skirm.
You are welcome.
We get it, you want to move on to Destroyer. So do we.
But frankly this Battleworld isn't fun or interesting enough to keep running on a weekly basis after this many times.
You clearly gave up on it when you gave us all the tokens early (speaking of, I don't think anyone could tell the difference in having them vs not).
I appreciate you upping the difficulty on the higher levels but that basically made the fights take longer vs being more varied.
I've made my feelings on your boss fights clear....there is nothing fun about punching a wall when you can't use most of your attacks.
To your credit, the absolute best thing you did was making Eternals able to be auto-d. I hate that fight with a passion and being able to set it and forget it was a godsend. That alone should tell you that there is something wrong with it, that not having to play it is the preferred action.
To get back to the point at hand though.....if you want to be done with it just give enough shards for the unlock on one last run, then cool it for a month or two and rerun the boss fight like Sentry and Knull.
No one is currently thrilled with Maestro's performance anyways. So lets just rip off the bandaid and move on.
"Great" deals for G21 came and went, and amazing Orange iso offers are being ended 6 days early just to prevent those of us who have Ultra cores coming from the Tower calendars from buying them.
They have never dropped a new progression and then immediately rescinded the best offers before.
I fully expect the Orange offers to be significantly worse when they return After we get our ultra cores.
They aren't being updated. There is literally no reason to hoard them. The meager amount of shop credits (or shards if you are newer) is all you will get from them. Better than the nothing you get by not opening them before they go away.

A couple months ago, some players were able to obtain more Ultra Cores than others.
Scopely's response?
"We care deeply about maintaining a fair experience for everyone in MARVEL Strike Force. When that experience is compromised, we will take action to protect the game and the community."
How are utterly fantastic offers that are only available to certain people what anyone would consider "Fair"?
Is it fair because this time You decided who would benefit from discounted offers at the expense of everyone else?
These players who were able to get these amazing offers will have a massive advantage over other spenders who did not.
Play fair Scopely. Do like you said you would.
Edit: yes this is my third post on the subject. Everyone who didn't get the offers should make a post as well. Keep this on the front of the subreddit. The 28k core offers go away in just a few days which limits how long they have to make this right.
TLDR they are hiding Microtransactions as well as Macrotransactions.
So yesterday, Scopley released a step up offer to only Some players which provided a significant amount of cores and gold, which if you purchased enough steps would give you enough cores to buy the 28k core Ultra core offer at a significantly discounted rate.
This offer was not tied to whether you completed the Tower, purchased any of the ultra core offers, spent x number of dollars over the years or any knowable metric by the playerbase as everyone unofficially surveyed was in a similar boat and the offer was given to some and not others.
When I reported the error in the offer missing to Support, they said (I'm paraphrasing) "We don't like money so only some people will get this offer. Maybe some other time we will want your money and you will get a good offer."
Then comes the kicker - The Iron Raiders team was revealed earlier today and their reworks are Crossbones and Yellowjacket.
Wouldn't you know it, there was an offer just put out on Sunday for $10 where you could get a 5 Diamond Yellowjacket plus a rank up token saving you millions and millions of gold and other resources.
Is that offer available to everyone? NOPE!
Why, you may ask? It seems like it would be a good offer for low/value spenders. Especially now!
Well the short answer probably contains a 4 letter derogatory word.
I don't have the longer answer unfortunately.
Do you remember when Silver Surfer originally came to the game and some people were able to buy additional offers and others weren't so Scopely (maybe Foxnext at the time?) Made it a point to make the offer available to EVERYONE for the same amount of times?
Pepperidge Farm remembers when this game had offer integrity.
Hopefully Scopley will realize that any money coming in is better than only some money.
$600m gold and 56k power cores for about $175 in a step up offer.
Maybe I wouldn't buy em all but I might buy the first step or two.
Just kinda funny, you banned all those players for giving themselves a discount and now you are selecting which players get to save a similar amount of money.
Perfectly legal. Shady as hell.
Does make me worried though....a fire sale does not indicate strength in the game, more like a last rush to collect all you can.
Because I can set it to auto and walk away instead of fighting that wall of boring.
Now I never have to waste my time with that stun team again.
* based on Datamine. Subject to change.
Iron Raider is the tag.
"Play Raids with Iron Raider" is the command center objective.
Jocasta and Wasp (Janet) have been mentioned recently.
Kestrel rework? Iron Man? Hank Pym and or Ultron?
What are you hoping for?
Unless otherwise noted, my toons were mostly 110/G20. This week is a little harder than previous weeks.
Note: you can also swap 31 and 32 and use Odin with Brimstone.
Undying. Exploit Greg rewind. Especially on Ikaris.
Brimstone minus Elsa plus Phantom Rider
Dread w/ Sable
Superior Spider-Man, Hobgoblin, Vulture, GGC, Mysterio. (My GGC and Mys were g19 105. Heavy RNG. Mysterio is there to speed up Vulture when his mirrors die and to prevent immunity. If he lives long enough to AB Apoc with his special, you have it.
New Mutants minus Sunspot plus Mighty Storm. Save her ult for second wave.
Franklin, Sue, Johnny, Quasar, Mephisto
Omen minus Cull plus Executioner
Sym6
AA
Exalted minus Morph plus Spidey. (AA and Exalted reset and are able to be used on 40).the extra Scorpion that spawns is just a minion, dies easy.
Looking at the Epic Campaign photo, the next breaker is hidden in shadows but there is no mistaking the fingernails-of-a-bag-lady having fuzzy neckerchief having Sabretooth.
Hopefully he is worthy of a nickname. Surfer Breaker is just Breaker and Scorpion Breaker is just called Scorpion because he isn't good enough to have a nickname.
Unless we take them into super vanilla opponents with very minor punch ups it is way too easy to take them so low that they can't bounce back.
They have no sustain even at g20 110 3D (even Scorpion, I worked hard on that scourge)
Throw one single toon on the teams they are kinda good against (Exalted) like Executioner that goes early and boom it doesn't matter how big your dread is.
They go from being able to kinda being able to beat vanilla teams to the clean up after a sack.
No one wants to invest in the follow up to the sack team and it really makes all the effort that was put into the Scorpion Scourge feel like it wasn't worth it.
Here is who I used. Most are G20 110. Some need the size, most don't. I gave suggestions where I could.
Immortal Weapons minus IFWW2 plus Mephisto.
Retcon minus Deadpool plus Odin. Jeff was useful on this, you might be able to pair him and Odin with someone else not used below.
Insidious 6. I used GGC over Shocker but I think Shocker would have done fine.
Symbiote 6 minus Knull plus Carnage.
Fantastic 4 plus Quasar. Save Quasar and Sue Ult til Odin drops.
Shadow Conclave
Omen minus Cull plus Knull. Chunky team helps.
Phoenix Force plus X and Darkstar.
New Mutants (super easy)
Exalted. Storm ult, otherwise use all specials on X, Jubilee special should delete him. Then its just clean up.
Most of us finished the event the first week, a lot the first day. It is a fantastic event with great rewards and I applaud you for giving new players a longer opportunity to get those rewards.
But remove the red dot if we completed the event.
The intention of the red dot has always been to draw attention to an event that has yet to be touched, rewards that need to be collected, or new information that needs to be read.
Once complete, this red dot falls into none of those categories.
Please remove it.
The whole idea behind reinforcements is great, an unknown threat lurking behind a seemingly straightforward defense team.
But when simple arithmetic says this Retcon team should be about 15k but the room power shows 35k.....hmmmmmmmm I think there might be reinforcements there.
Figured it out when I didn't points for using the Symbiote version but I did when I used the regular one.
The entire team is way too slow.
For his entire novel of a passive, only the first inconsequential line matters outside of crucible.
All of his kit is tied to having his team.
His team isn't that great so you can't even put him with Good characters to make him worth it.
He very well might be the worst legendary we have ever had.
The worst part is on Crucible offense his big Contagion move doesn't land because it is a negative effect. And you know what prevents negative effects? Immunity!
Do you know what *might* fix him, at least in crucible? "ENEMYS CAN'T GAIN IMMUNITY ON SPAWN"
Unlike most posts (which I agree with), this post isn't about how they are terrible outside of raids, its how they are terrible in the game mode they were designed for.
Spider-Man gives himself energy on dodge, great. Hope he dodges. He seems to enough.
Blade gives 1 ability energy on enemy death to whomever isn't full. Oh he isn't full? He gets it all. Selfish.
Meanwhile Rachel and Julia are sitting over here looking like bumps on a log with huge cooldowns on their ults just hoping that maybe, POSSIBLY, they can get their cooldowns back before the next node.
I understand they don't want the energy flowing as much as before to reduce us being able to sim with them but come on now, even in manual play they aren't ready for the next node even if I spend the last minute or so trying to build cooldowns.
Played the 2nd node of Scorpion Breaker and was fighting X-Factor.
Man that used to be a fun team, especially the Dadbros.
Same with Weaver and 2099 on the Blade Tower.
I get that they have to keep bringing in new characters to keep the game live but it would be nice if they just updated whole teams here and there as a "Bonus" team. Like Brotherhood. Just give us the OG or even the updated version with Toad and Blob.
Don't make em required for anything but maybe we cn use em as War reinforcements. You can even monetize it by selling upgrade packs.
Point is, sometimes we just miss using old teams how they were introduced.
With the removal of the Annilius and Spotlight raids next week, we will no longer earn Spotlight Orbs.
Scopely flat out said the Orbs will be gone in 30 days in the upcoming blog. Don't wait until the last minute and then complain you forgot or be mad at Scopely for doing what they said they were going to do.
They will update one last time to add Captain Britain (sometime next week). Once that happens, just open them all. You will not earn more, they will not change, there is no incentive to keep them.
There will inevitably be people on here going "they didn't warn us". Yes they did. And now this did too.
