Two new interviews up about PVP 25 and future content. Highlights include:
-Kamala/Lockjaw will be released this week
-Elsa Bloodstone will be an upcoming hero
-Possibility of Jessica Jones (and associated characters) not ruled out
-CH 10 will feature Madripoor, new combat backgrounds, and new Incursion variations along with the standard new HBs/EIsos, AIsos, and Worthy alt.
-There'll be at least one more SO shipping later this month

That means that Jessica Jones won't be the next SO hero since they're talking about her not being ruled out, which means that she's not really slated for the next one - just that we could see her sometime in the future.

I always get hope when I see some GBs, but then it's all in vain after I've fought them and gained enough to open some LBs, because they're always duplicates.

I'm going to have to resort to fighting my own GB as well if I have enough UISOs to do so. Whether it will be any use or whether I'll get more duplicates again is another matter.

 

[General Mike]

The Digital Times also said Jessica Jones would be cool as a general release hero, so I doubt we get a Jessica Jones SO now. Kinda dissapointing.

I guess that shifts the speculation back to Red She-Hulk.

 

[Dark Raven]

If it's not Jessica Jones for the next SO, then why do we need another one this month? Why not just leave it until sometime in December, and give us some other content instead? I don't really feel like having to play another SO just days after this one finishes, and then yet another one shortly after that. The only reason I would've been okay with it was if it were coinciding with the Jessica Jones series, but now that it's not, there's not really much point in squeezing another one in just for the sake of it.

 

[General Mike]

Well this one ends the 16th, so they could launch one on the 30th and it would still be this month.

I don't mind either way, as long as there's new content coming out. Sounds like season 10 is close to releasing, but not imminent.

 

[GeneralAntilles]

yeah sad it sounds like no Jessica coming. maybe next year for season 2 or something.

Hope Red She Hulk is next at least.

Got cover 7 on first try. 7 covers, 3 duplicates. Should be able to get Mordo given time that's left provided group bosses from allies pop up at least once a day.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Finally got Baron Mordo after 250 LBs. Had 10 GBs pop up this evening and I needed every last one to get enough LBs from knocking 5% off and defeating them fully to do 2 more 10x openings.

 

[Jordacar]

I don't think I'm gonna get Mordo. I'm just not making much headway with those GB fights.

 

[Dark Raven]

I don't think I'm gonna get Mordo. I'm just not making much headway with those GB fights.

Same here. They rarely come up and even when I do, there are so few fights and then I'm just not getting any new covers. It's like I have to fill a duplicate bar each time to get a new one, and at that rate it will take too long and the SO might be over.

 

[General Mike]

I'm definitely worried about not getting him. I'm at 6 covers now and I figure I can get my 7th cover easily from the GBs I spawn plus the few that pop up. I may end up using 40 gold just to buy the one missing cover if it comes to that.

 

[Dark Raven]

I fought my own GB a few times. I managed to get some LBs. I opened them.... and I got yet another duplicate.

5 covers and 10 duplicates now. And there's a complete drought of anyone sending me any GBs to fight. I don't have enough UISOs to even fight anymore of my own, as I don't even win anything on the daily roulettes.

 

[DawnWarrior]

Stupid daily mission. Half of the WCA's are worth 200 CP, so of course I don't have them. Why the hell isn't Iron Man allowed with the West Coast team? He was on the team. He was a founding member. I should be able to use the Hulkbuster armor to take down this stupid AIM Exosuit.

 

[Dark Raven]

Well technically, Jim Rhodes as Iron Man (who is now War Machine) was a founding member. But Tony Stark was a member for much longer, as he was in the regular series, whereas Jim Rhodes was only in the mini series. They always seem to miss out certain people who should definitely be included in part of a team for the daily missions.

I think this is the worst lockbox I've had since Avalanche. But Avalanche was when my allies weren't that great and I wasn't as experienced. I never managed to recruit him, with only 4 covers amassed in total. But I should be getting more for Mordo really, but that's clearly not the case this time.

 

[General Mike]

I think Avalanche was the first lockbox I ever did. Unless Sandman was before him. I can't remember. These last few group bosses have been painful. On some level, I kinda wish they would have the GB flee automatically once he got down a certain percent of health, but then again I'm not one of the players who can take 80% off him in one round.

 

[Dark Raven]

I think Sandman was after Avalanche, because every LB since him I have managed to get. I usually get more covers than this and then just on the last one it is difficult to get a new one. It's not that I usually keep getting duplicates one after another so many times over.

There have been a few where I could fight my own and take him down completely. I can't remember which ones those were. Might've been the one with the static electricity that did great damage before it was nerfed, but am pretty sure there was another one like that too.

 

[General Mike]

You may be right Dark Raven. The last 2 group bosses feel a lot easier then the ones from when I first started (Hybrid, High Evolutionary) but it's probably because I'm at level 300 now. I know I had a lot of trouble with the incursions in season 2 when I first came back, but now they feel pretty easy.

 

[Dark Raven]

Yeah incursions are really easy. When I first started they were hard. Heroic battles also used to be impossible when I first started as well, because my heroes were at such low levels, and it seemed to take ages to level them up as well, unlike now.

 

[Dark Raven]

I finally had some GBs show up very late tonight. But I have a ton of scrappers, and I hate scrapper GBs. They are the worst to fight. Those vampires keep attacking, and even with the likes of FF Invisible Woman or Iron Patriot it's still difficult to beat Dracula. And this scrapper keeps applying living death so that people can't use their abilities. My team keep getting killed before they can get him down to 5%, so I have to quickly quit before it saves the result.

What are people using to fight the scrapper Draculas?

I've been using She-Hulk and blacksuit spider man. Been real easy againt him. Of course both have their a-isos and e-isos so She Hulk hits hard and spiderman exploits stuff.

 

[Dark Raven]

And after all those GBs appeared and I took ages to kill the scrappers, I finally got 10 LBs to open. And what did I get? Another duplicate!!

So now I'm at 5 covers and 11 duplicates.

It feels like a complete waste of time battling all those GBs only to not get anything out of it at all. I'm fed up of getting that same #1 cover all the time. I must've had that several times in a row now.

I don't think I've gotten a single new cover since I filled up the last duplicate bar. And it looks like I'm going to have to get the next one in the exact same way. I'll never get Mordo at this rate.

 

[General Mike]

What are people using to fight the scrapper Draculas?

AofU Thor and either Nul (Worthy Luke Cage) or Kuurth (Worthy Spider-Woman)

 

[Jordacar]

Colossus and Destroyer are all right I guess. Both are immune to bleed and Destroyer can't be mind controlled.

 

[Dark Raven]

scrapper Dracula doesn't do mind control though. That's the infiltrator. Scrapper does the living death move which prevents you from using your abilities so you can't actually attack with anything.

 

[Dark Raven]

Well my own GB is defeated so with the 10 LBs I received, I now have 6 covers and 11 duplicates. Finally a new cover. That's 170 LBs opened so far.

 

[General Mike]

I think I hate the Bruiser Dracula the most.
