Okay, but it seems to me like you have opened a lot more than me.

How many have you opened so far?

 

[General Mike]

It took me 140 to get him, I think. Maybe 130.

 

[Dark Raven]

Okay. I've opened 180 boxes so far. I used to get more new covers than this consecutively, and then only for the last one I had to often fill up a duplicate bar. Never has it been getting so many duplicates to get even half way.

 

[General Mike]

Eh it's just me getting lucky. I know when they had the Big lockbox sale in September, it definitely took me into the 200s for a couple of the people I bought.

I like the idea of lockboxes, but if we don't get another group boss until the Cap 3 tie-in SO, I'll be okay with it.

 

[Dark Raven]

SHIELD is running critical diagnostics at the moment, so no playing the game right now.

 

[Dark Raven]

So I opened another 10 lock boxes just now. Guess what the result was? Another duplicate, and yet another cover #1.

At 6 covers and 13 duplicates now. 190 LBs in all.

Time to fight my own GB again. Hopefully the result will be better. If I ever come across a copy of Dr Strange #160 in real life, I'm tearing it to shreds!

 

[General Mike]

SHIELD is running critical diagnostics at the moment, so no playing the game right now.

I didn't get that error, but it just freezes on the loading screen. Really hoped I could get a few levels on Baron Mordo and Kamala Khan tonight. Oh well.

 

[Dark Raven]

Well I fought my own GB. He didn't last very long at all. Only since that last post above. I didn't even get to fight him as many times as I would like. After getting him down to about 69% health, I rested and didn't do anything so I would lose the fight. Then the next time I fought him immediately after, I found he was now at 13% already.

So I only got 18 LBs in all. I opened 10. And you can guess the result.

Another duplicate, and yet another cover #1. It's like that's the only cover I get.

6 covers and 14 duplicates now. 200 LBs in all.

 

[Dark Raven]

Well I had about 10 GBs show up late tonight. I finally managed to finish defeating them and got 18 LBs so far. I opened 10... and got another duplicate!

This is just becoming tiresome now. This is the absolute worst GB I've ever fought.

6 covers and 15 duplicates now. 210 LBs opened in all.

And I still have another two to go before actually filling up my duplicate bar, so it could be another 30 boxes before finally getting a new cover.

 

[General Mike]

The game still won't load for me. Tried Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Getting annoyed now.

 

[Dark Raven]

It's frozen on the loading screen a few times for me before using Chrome. I used to switch to IE a couple of months ago, but that seems to have a very adverse effect on my graphics card and causes my computer to heat up and then switch off when it gets to a certain temperature as a kind of fail safe. That only happens if I've played MAA on IE, not using IE in general.

 

[Dark Raven]

Opened another 10 LBs this morning. Finally a new cover!!

7 covers and 15 duplicates now. 220 LBs opened in all.

Now what's it going to take to get that final cover?

 

[General Mike]

Just 10 more DR.

 

[General Mike]

I wish Mordo had an area attack.

 

[GeneralAntilles]

got 1 lockbox today... puts me up to 4. Will have Mordo in the next 20 at most.

Hate the long waits in between spawning your group boss...

 

[Dark Raven]

You have to spawn him and literally fight him in that first 20 minutes to half hour, otherwise he's gone in a flash for another 70 hours.

 

[Jordacar]

Damn, I managed to 3-star Mission 3 on the first go. And that was without half the deploys. Now all that's left is recruiting Magik for the Epic Boss run, which will mark my first time as well throwing down the 200 for a previous SO hero. Before long I'll have 8 new heroes.

Probably not gonna get the 10 LBs for this round with Dracula sitting pretty at around 40%. I seriously doubt I'll be able to add Mordo to my ranks. Still, I have somehow gotten 5 covers and 0 dupes, so anything's possible on that front I guess.

 

[Dark Raven]

5 covers and no dupes? You'll probably get Mordo before me.

I opened another 10 LBs just now. Another duplicate, another cover #1.

We're back to this again and having to go through nearly the entire duplicate bar with the same duplicate cover until I finally get Mordo, if at all. How is it possible to get so many of the exact same cover one after another?

7 covers and 16 duplicates now. 230 LBs opened in all. I need another 60 now to be guaranteed a cover.

 

[General Mike]

Ugh, need more uIso can I farm for the epic weapon/ collect vials.

 

[GeneralAntilles]

Well... only need 10 lockboxes to fill my cover bar to completion. So as soon as group boss respawns i should get Mordo.

 

[Dark Raven]

I've got just over 23 hours until it respawns. Don't know how many LBs I could get out of that. I'm hoping for 20, but even when I tried that last time, it didn't stay alive long enough for me to collect enough because it went from about 69% to 13% from one battle to the next. Someone else obviously must've fought it at the same time and reduced his health radically.

 

[GeneralAntilles]

Group boss respawned, beat him.

Bar is now completely filled. And still got duplicate. Guess the NEXT 10 I open is guaranteed to be a new one. Oh well...

 

[Dark Raven]

I opened another 10 LBs just now. Another duplicate.

7 covers and 17 duplicates now. 240 LBs opened in all.

Hoping to fight my own GB soon and get a few more there. Whether it amounts to anything is another matter.

 

[Dark Raven]

I fought my own GB and got another 10. Haven't even defeated Dracula yet. I opened it and finally got a new cover and recruited Mordo!

I had the most ridiculous game with the Infiltrator Dracula. He has turned out to be the most annoying. I fought him with Fixer, who has a soothing rest EISO fixed to him. The game lasted forever when it got down to the end between just the two of them, because Dracula kept using his mesmerism and living death on Fixer. That meant that Fixer couldn't use any of his abilities against Dracula and all he could do was recharge. But whenever he recharged, he regained health until it was full, and couldn't lose at all.

But then the boss could never flee, because it takes Fixer to actually attack him. But everytime he finally regained the ability to shoot, he kept getting cower, so he missed every chance, and then Dracula reapplied living death and mesmerism to him. This went on for nearly half an hour trying to exit this particular battle in an endless cycle. It was only by pure luck that Fixer finally managed to use one of his abilities without getting cower, and then could finally attack Dracula to make him flee. Otherwise it would never have ended.

But I'm glad I finally got Mordo.

That was 8 covers and 17 duplicates, and took 250 LBs in all, which is the most I've ever had to open.

*sigh* Forgot that Angela was an Epic Boss deploy when I sent her lvl 15 training this morning. Looks like Spitfire will have to wait another 24 hours.
