Avengers Alliance - Part 1

[Jick]

Thanks. I'm really in need of CP. I'm working hard to farm.

Another Playdom/Disney game. Kind of a generic "word jumble" thing. It has team tournaments like MAA does, and about half the time its prizes are things from the other Playdom games. When you get past level 21 on the game, that prize will often be 2 Command Points. It's an easy way to accumulate extra points. I was only told about it about two weeks ago. To illustrate, I got a 90 CP hero three days ago (Black Knight), and am already back up to 50 CPs, thanks in large part to it.

If you want to always know which team has a CP tournament going, check www.ownyourgame.com. It keeps track.

That's interesting. I assume you have to register with the same email that u use to play MAA? Or in my case the same facebook account?

Assuming on Facebook you can just jump over and start playing. That's how it works on the Playdom site. When you win your points, wait for the green box in the dialogue section to read that you've won 2 command points, and to open MAA to find them. Open MAA, there'll be a little delay, usually a minute or two, then it'll say you've won 2 points from the other game. You'll have to then refresh to see the points in your account, like you would when you win on a regular tournament.

It's incredibly worthwhile. I've mined an extra 8 points today just from that.

 

[Bim]

I've been playing on facebook and i'm up to level 24, but i havent seen any tournaments. It just says "tournament has ended, but stay tuned for shields, tiers and prizes!"

 

[Jick]

That's a downer. I spent all of my remaining gold and CP to get Gambit today. I'm counting on this WoW to give me more.

 

[zeroapoc]

Yeah I'm trying that game too, and haven't seen anything.

 

[Bim]

Woa, i won 20 CP in the roulette today! t: I wonder, who should i get first: Angel or Squirrel Girl? Cause i dont plan on getting Red Hulk until they force me to in another SO, or i'm swimming in CP's and make it my mission to get all heroes lol.

But right now i have 101 CP and 36 gold.

This will show you what teams have CP at any time. Keep in mind that what level you're on in WoW affects how many points you can get. Level 1-4 lets you compete for 1 CP, 5-20 2 Shield Points (far less useful), and 21+ 2 CP. Playing to level 21 is easy and worthwhile.

Does the FB version have that sidebar where you put points toward a team tournament by clicking on stuff?

 

[Bim]

No, it doesnt . Guess it only works for those who play on playdom.com

 

[bored]

Ah, nerts. I stopped playing on FB when the game app basically stopped working for me, and at this point I'm further along and have more characters in the Playdom account anyway.

 

[Jick]

Does the CP in Playdom counts towards MAA on Facebook?

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Does the CP in Playdom counts towards MAA on Facebook?

I don't think it does since they're basically separate games.

 

[zeroapoc]

Times like these with nothing going on are really dull at level 300.

 

[Bim]

I'm keeping myself entertained leveling up my heroes. I want to get everyone to at least level 9 before the next SO. I'm looking forward to chapter 2 though, since i finally completed all of chapter 1.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

I'm keeping myself busy by trying for the Custom Only For Killing. Not getting as much CP but it's a quick energy waster that makes me not have to spend much time in-game now.

 

[zeroapoc]

Nice! Finally an Inhumans presence in the game. Black Bolt is the SO 13 hero.

 

[zeroapoc]

Thanos is the group boss and Thane is lock box hero.

 

[Jick]

Man, Thane looks awesome and I'm glad we'll finally be able to fight Thanos. I just hope he isn't as annoying as Black Heart was.

Also, I'm really hoping I have at least two of the heroes needed for the epic boss. I'm working really hard to farm CP but I certainly don't have enough for even two heroes.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Too bad I had already collected from my allies' maps and some of my gifts. Already on the 8-hr research item so I'm done until about 1 AM.

 

[Jick]

Heroes required are Psylock, Rulk and Wasp. Oh well, I have none.
Unless I get some mad CP drops in the daily roulette, I'm not getting Black Bolt in this SO.

 

[Raiden]

Unless I get some mad CP drops in the daily roulette, I'm not getting Black Bolt in this SO.

If this is like other Spec Ops, you should be able to skip final task with 25 gold.

 

[Bim]

I only need Red Hulk. I guess Angel will have to wait good thing i hadnt bought any heroes recently and was just waiting.

I hadnt collected gifts yet, so i managed some extra isos. As usual, i'm gonna wait a bit before i start, see how things go, and wait for someone to get a guide going.
