Avengers Alliance - Part 4

[zeroapoc]

Well if you're at home I'd run 1 hour missions. And longer ones when you're away or asleep.

I've done 20 minutes ones for awhile before but that can get irritating.

Are we allowed to discuss external tools for the game? (that can automate the flight deck for example?)

I wouldn't use them since PD has really cracked down on stuff like that and has banned numerous people who use them.

PVP Beta patch notes are up but there doesn't seem to be anything yet. Wondering if nothing will show until the server reset:

Things I'm sure some are happy with are no more UIso drops from allies (hopefully they'll be back in time for the next SO) and better silver returns for agents that are LVL 100+ on allies' maps.

 

[zeroapoc]

Finally something.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Just checked again and Beta starts within the next 10 minutes.

 

[zeroapoc]

And... it's all jacked up. Did my 5 and got no spin.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

After a month of supposed testing, they basically just broke the game with a simple PVP release. It's looking like another PD "release and run for the weekend" since people are complaining about numerous bugs. And in another typical PD manner, they acknowledge said bugs and will try to fix things as fast as they can. The biggest thing I noticed before the Beta tournament started was my PVE were taking longer because of the reduced damage they implemented (which sucks because that is really going to slow me down in getting through my full energy bar.)

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Looks like I lucked out and will not have any heroes needed for a SO or new chapter stuck in training since I'll be done getting everyone to LVL 14 tomorrow morning.

I still can't even win a single practice match in PVP. I can't even make a dent in my enemies and they can take me out with one single shot.

I'm on level 176 in the proper game but somehow only on level 60 in PVP. But I'm fighting other level 60 opponents. Before I could actually win. Now, no matter who I use, it's like firing paper pellets against someone with a rocket launcher.

How can I possibly even play the SO when it asks me to win 3 or 5 PVP matches without having to spend gold now?

This PVP is even worse than the last one. Agents is downgraded to level 60, but their weapons make the same damage as they are in level 300, which one hit everyone. What a joke. At least I could put up a decent fight last time.

it's a pain, especially when I get hit by weapons that usually don't do so much damage before but now kills my agent and heroes

But I can usually win my 5 battles, I try to use weapons that give me a edge and block the others from using healing abilities

 

[Webfoot Hero]

The new PVP Beta is going to need some serious tweaking since higher level weapons that are supposed to be depowered to LVL 60 levels really aren't. It's a good thing this is only a Beta tournament because if this were an actual hero-reward tournament, PD would be in much worse shape with the players. Hopefully they'll get things ironed out within the week and things in both PVE and PVP will work as intended.

I can't win any battles, either practice or real. I don't know if any of my weapons can do any kind of damage or give me any sort of edge. It's like the opponents are just being bothered by a small fly.

Yep. It's broken. I had my whole team one shotted.

 

[Dark Raven]

Why did they have to change it at all? What was wrong with PVP back at the time of the last SO and before? Ever since this pre season tournament I haven't been able to make even a scratch against my opponents.

 

[Bim]

Oh boy, sounds like PVP has gone from bad to worse lol. I guess i'll be using gold to skip those missions in the next SO, cause i refuse to get all frustrated trying to play it.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

MAA Insiders showed off a boss coming for SO 21, the High Evolutionary:

Also, they said SO 21 would be released shortly after getting PVP Beta fixed, followed by CH 7.

 

[zeroapoc]

Cool.

And yeah they did say they are aware of the issues and are working on them. It did seem much better today.

It better not be 35 gold or something.

I thought I was at the stage where I wouldn't have to use gold anymore to skip tasks. Now that I have a stock of CPs, suddenly I find that I still have to use gold now to get through the PVPs.

Ka-Zar and Adam Warlock both appear multiple times in his wiki article. I'm leaning toward Ka-Zar, since Shanna was the most recent covert task character.

 

[Dark Raven]

Maybe the mission will be set in Wundagore, and the SO hero will be Bova the cow, who fits in with the High Evolutionary.

What are the chances?

 

[zeroapoc]

Slim.

Get hit by hotshot too? That weapon usually takes out my agent and heroes

Same here. That and an opposing agent using the Combat Communicator and Warhammer and then getting Star-Lord's passive to proc so they get another turn. Have had both happen a couple times already, which accounts for all my losses when I've attacked.
