Avengers Alliance - Part 4

[zeroapoc]

Is it playable for you?

I see the new U-Iso and Lockbox slots, but nothing playable yet.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

It's up but as soon as you start the first combat it freezes. I've already lost 20 UIso due to this so I'd hold up on starting since it's bugged (just like most of PD's recent releases.)

 

[Dark Raven]

It doesn't work yet?

Is there a task list for this somewhere?

Why is Kang a lockbox hero? Has he even been a villain in MAA yet?

 

[zeroapoc]

Kang has been around in the game for a while now.

And yeah, I still have no SO available.

 

[Dark Raven]

I just realised I have no U-ISO at all. Are they supposed to give us some to start off with? How am I supposed to play? I did receive a couple of emails saying to claim my daily MAA bonus but when I clicked on both of them they said the tickets had expired.

 

[Dark Raven]

Ok, well now I have some U-ISOs. And the task list is here:

http://avengersalliance.wikia.com/wiki/Special_Operations_-_Savage_Lands/Tasks

But who is/are the required heroes to unlock the Epic Boss? It doesn't say.

EDIT: The heroes are Groot, Drax and Tigra!

None of whom I have. Why couldn't it have been Medusa? That means spending CPs instead of already having a hero for me.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

The patch notes on PD's forums say they know SO incursions are bugged and to avoid them until they are fixed. Also, if the game freezes up, sounds like clearing your browser's cache will solve it.

 

[zeroapoc]

I cleared my cache, and still no SO for me.

Oh well. I'm going out for the night.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

They must be slowly rolling it out so it doesn't overwhelm their servers. So far, I noticed that gifts actually worked within the first couple hours.

I just sent out my 8-hour research so nothing for me to really do until about midnight.

Task 9 is interesting. While you don't have to use deploys in the special op to complete it, you'll need the cybernetic tech found in special op deploys for task 10.

 

[Dark Raven]

How are you supposed to complete those then without doing the spec op deploys, which are no guarantee of getting the cybernetic tech anyway? You could still end up with a shwarma, or worse, another damned ISO crystal.

 

[Kanon]

If you are having problems to load the game, try different languages

 

[Webfoot Hero]

You're almost better doing some SO deploys since you can get UIso or Cybernetic Tech, but I only did 2 SO deploys for the task and finished with a couple more from a regular Season 2 chapter.

 

[Dark Raven]

How am I supposed to complete task 11? It says "Create the Nascent Blade in the Lab" and to do this, I need to "Research Nascent Blade". However, it requires 1 piece of Cybernetic Tech which can be collected from Bosses and Deploys in Spec-Op 21. I did these deploys in Mission 2 as much as I could and also fought the boss (Sauron) but wasn't able to collect any cybernetic tech. Therefore, the Nascent Blade remains locked and I can't even begin to research it.

Does that mean I have to keep replaying all the missions (1 and 2) until I actually collect cybernetic tech? But if it is all down to luck, then I will be wasting precious U-ISO playing these several times over in the hope of picking it up but with no guarantee I will.

 

[zeroapoc]

Well, you would eventually have to play them again anyway to gain stars in them. So it's not as bad as it sounds.

I just need to get Groot t:

How can you possibly avoid the Mental Anguish after you attack. That is bul****, man! Not all of my characters have stealthy attacks.

 

[Dark Raven]

I've been stunning those Mentalists, but they can still sometimes give you anguish even after stunning. I try not to attack if I'm only at half health.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Sent off my 36-hour research for task 21 an hour ago, which means it'll be done Tuesday morning. I already 2-starred all the missions so all I'll really have to do is one epic run of Mission 3 and Ka-Zar will be recruited. When I get him on Tuesday, it'll likely be the fastest I've ever gotten a hero (about 4 days.)

 

[Dark Raven]

How did you manage to consistently get cyber tech? Were you just lucky or did you play the mission several times over?

 

[zeroapoc]

Yeah that's an annoying new wrinkle this time around.

I'm still sitting on around 200 UIso and only needing one more epic run to complete this SO. I haven't hit any big UIso spots yet from boss fights or the roulette but have gotten at least half of my deploys to yield UIso. I've only done each mission one time through and so far gotten 4 pieces. I didn't even know what they were when I got them until reading the requirements in the research tab. With the way deploys now all can give you UIso, it makes sense to do all that you can since there's a good chance to make up the UIso used in doing them. Plus, you get points added to your final score when exiting the mission so they're good for possibly squeezing as many points out of a mission as possible.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

I just use Magneto. They can't do anything to him.

 

[GeneralAntilles]

I just use Magneto. They can't do anything to him.

Magneto and/or Juggernaut have been very useful in that respect

 

[Dark Raven]

I saw that Squirrel Girl is "coming soon". She was a former CO character right? So I guess they would also make Shanna available at some point too (not that I need her)? And what about Moon Knight?
