Avengers Alliance - Part 4

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

If I had hotshot, signpost, quantum jumper and scroll of Angalob, I'd be goddamn invincible.

Yep. Apparently the problem was the Agent wasn't properly scaling down.

 

[Dark Raven]

I still can't make even a dent in my opponents in PVP and they're still basically one-shotting me. It doesn't matter which weapons or pieces of equipment I use. The damage I make is negligible and theirs is maximum. I don't think it would even matter if their agent had a simple nail gun. They would still do more damage than mine with my most powerful weapons, because they seem to be at a far higher level and can inflict more damage by default. It is completely unfair now and unplayable.

 

[Dark Raven]

Either PvP needs to be fixed before the next SO or they can't include these matches as part of the tasks. If they do, it means that only a select few can actually win them, otherwise everyone else will either be stuck or have to use precious gold. It can't be that only the lucky ones get through this particular task because then it's extremely exclusive. How many people can actually even win a match without any difficulty? I can't even touch my opponents. At. All.

I can win pretty easily in most PVP matches under the new system. Even under the old system, wins were pretty easy to come by. I have good hero and armory bonuses so I can survive the new system's quirks/bugs.

How do you win though? What do you use?

I could win fairly easily under the old system before they started fiddling around with it. Now it is impossible. It's like me at level 176 going and playing Season 1 Ch 1 Mission 1 against Viper and not on Challenge mode. The opponents' fire can't touch me, and I can zap them with one shot. Or not necessarily Ch 1 Mission 1, but any of the earlier missions really in normal mode, no matter what powers the enemies have up their sleeve, they just can't damage me at all.

That's what it's like with my opponents in PVP against me where I can't even touch them.

I use the sign post, cube, brute and combo breaker, that along with Iron Fist blocks most trying to attack my heroes

 

[Dark Raven]

I use Iron Fist. He can't even get a chance to do anything and his heart of shou lau has minimal effect before one shot from the enemy takes him out.

I've been using Sign Post, Cube, Psychic Amplifier, and Custom Only for Killing. The new weapon scaling system for Agents is so screwy that I typically one-shot people with my Custom OFK. It's rare for me to have more than 2 rounds in a match with how powerful my team is (HA Iron Fist and Havok.)

Finally got all the E-ISO. Now I need to focus on farming CP and A-ISO.

Been trying to get that only for killing weapon for a long time, I think I'm at the 60+ mark tries to get it

 

[Dark Raven]

Where does this only for killing weapon come from? And are people saying that with all these weapons in my armory I'd be able to simply one shot the other side? Or would it only put a small dent in them and they'd still be able to obliterate me even with a nail gun? I don't really have gold to spare for all of that.

Chapter 9 part 4, you need certain heroes to unlock the bonus boss battle

I see. Rogue will have to wait though, because I don't have enough CP to spare yet until I see who is needed for the SO.

Another day and another day with no releases and limited interaction from the development team. If they don't release or fix anything by tomorrow, then I doubt we get anything until next Monday or Tuesday. Can't remember the last time they had almost a whole month without a new hero release.

Edit: Looks like they're finally communicating again but still not really answering anything, just saying the patches to PVP and other things in the patch notes are more complicated than previously thought. Sounds like we'll be lucky to even get a new patch before the weekend. They haven't exactly been inspiring a lot of confidence since the end of SO 20 and GotG CO.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

From an exclusive interview, producer Justin Woods revealed SO 21 to be taking place in the Savage Land and Ka-Zar as the hero. Sounds like Ka-Zar will be a pretty intricate character since his pet Sabertooth Tiger, Zabu, is a part of all his moves/skillset. Hopefully this reveal means it'll drop today. Even if it isn't, they did say on MAA Insiders that SO 21 will now release before the PVP Beta patch is fixed because they have to stay on schedule.

[zeroapoc]

Cool. I think there's a shot at it dropping today. We'll see. Woods did say it would happen during PVP Beta though.

Edit - Wow. Your link actually says it goes live today.

 

[Dark Raven]

But they haven't fixed PVP properly! How am I supposed to get through those tasks?

I suppose Medusa will have to be one of the required heroes? But what about Shanna? What if someone never got her if they only started round about now? How could they possibly recruit her? Not that I am in that position.

 

[zeroapoc]

They won't use a CO hero. They learned from that mistake when they released Chapter 6 and Squirrel Girl was required.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

From the article, we at least know who the villains will be: Stegron, High Evolutionary, Doctor Octopus, and the Lizard. That means that Spider-Man will likely be a team-up for at least one of the boss battles.

 

[zeroapoc]

We know nothing about the lockbox hero though. High Evolutionary is a Group Boss. Those have always come in conjunction with a lockbox.

What happened in that case when people couldn't recruit her?

 

[zeroapoc]

They removed her and made someone else the required hero.

 

[Dark Raven]

Squirrel Girl still appears in one of the chapters in Season 2 though. I forget which one.

Who else usually visits the Savage Land? The X-Men? I wonder if they will feature heavily. Sauron normally is there, but wasn't he just in an SO recently? I don't remember which one he was in though.

I would like a Savage Land MCU movie. It would be an excuse to have a hot blonde as Shanna in a leopard skin leotard or bikini.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

SO 21 is now live. Also, the new lockbox hero is Kang.
