Marvel Contest of Champions - Time Killer (1 Viewer)

It looks like it's decided than - we open crystals now (plus it looks like folks have already started to open in game as well). Correct?

 
The ISO count is wrong on these Moon knight quests too--He ambushed me and I was supposed to get 2 of the 1300's and I beat him for another but at the end I'm only getting credit for 2 total

 
Why don't we just say open shards and hold regular?
What's the objective? I'm ok either way, but as noted, we should have an objective for holding ( or opening ) crystals. Are we shooting for some milestone on the crystal event?
We can either pick a milestone in crystal event, or jut open shards now and save the rest for dupe day. I'll hold if everyone wants, that's fine, but opening crystals is one of the best parts of this game. It sucks hoarding forever.

I'm not saying I hacked your account and used it to send threats to the Bosnian premier... and I'm not saying I didn't hack your account and use it to send threats to the Bosnian premier.

But if Bosnian Secret Service show up at your door, I'd suggest telling them, "Nisam prijeti da ubije premijera." Just to be safe. :oldunsure:

That means "I did not threaten to kill the prime minister". Bet you didn't know I was Bosnian, eh?

If you look in your stash you got the correct amount it just displays it wrong. Same thing happens to me. Similar to if you open crystals 1 at a time it does not properly show your totals.

 
Sooo.....are we opening all crystals at our discretion now, or what?

Also, since I'm sure everyone cares, I attempted the t4 Cat arena. Used the strategy in the link MJ posted to get endless, which worked. Had my longest streak ever in a 4* arena...and finished almost exactly halfway to where I needed to because you still have to spend way too much freaking time grinding to get the 80ish wins needed to hit 1.1M. *sad panda*

Won't be wasting my time on that again.

How many teams do you have that you can use in endless? It was definitely a grind for me, but wasn't awful. Actually hit the 1.1 million about 20 hours before the arena ended. Can't wait to finish the next one and rank up my strange.ETA: And to answer your question, should just be opening phc shard crystals only. Obviously some people haven't followed that and are opening 3* shards as well. We should save those for dupe day. That's what we agreed on.

I didn't finish nearly as early as Mj did but I also got the tier 4 catalyst. Really looking forward to having a 4/40 guy in about 2 weeks....one week before I get my third cat and another week to level him.

I think I'll be choosing Spidey but I'll be opening my 4* cyrstal before I make my decision. Just in case it's a dupe or in case its one of the elite fighters like Iron Fist or something.

I'm 5/16 Bosnian.

Okay I'm not at all. Just used google translate. Busted!

Yeah, thinking about having a 4/40 gives good motivation for the grind. Gonna take a lot of farming for all that gold and ISO for those ranks though, might take a while.

 
I think I have 5 teams that I could use in endless streaks. Maybe six. I had the credits to spend to ignore that anyway, if I wanted to. That wasn't the problem. It was the time I had to spend to do it. I just don't have it anymore.

Me too.

I just don't have the time to fight 240 fights in 2 days.

 
Brainstorming some ideas for AQ, one thing that has crossed my mind before is setting up a 'buddy system'.

Pair everyone up so that between the 2, all 6 classes (or at least 5 of 6) are covered. That way, each pair could join any map and take any path and be covered. It would also be easier to rearrange, say if one map struggled and one breezed though, have a weaker pair switch with a stronger pair. You wouldn't have to worry about making sure enough classes are covered as you would when switching single players.

The only thing we'd have to watch out for is maps with 5 paths instead of 4, one pair (say the strongest pair for instance) would have to split up to take that 5th section if we don't have full participation.

If everyone updates and enters their best champs on the spreadsheet, I don't think this would be too hard to set up.

Thoughts?

This could work if we have wide enough coverage in our top guys, and all had similar PI of those guys. I know that 2 of my top 3 are mystic, and once I get to work on my 4* IF, it will be all 3 of my top guys.

Even if only 4 of 6 classes were covered in a few pairs it wouldn't be the end of the world. There are some guys that have a lot of 4* of different classes and could use any of them depending on the pairing.

Spoken like a guy with a bunch of 4* heroes.

:finger:

 
The AQs are all about class bonuses, fights seem almost half as hard with those, especially vs. the big guys.

I'll be back home later today and get back to participating.

 
Can't seem to update the spreadsheet from work and its cumbersome on my phone. I've got three 4* 3/30's I've been mainly using (mutant, cosmic & skill.) I should be able to rank up and level my second team of tech, mystic, & science to 3/30 around the time of our next AQ after this one. Depends on if I get enough gold & Iso, I have the cats needed, but ranking the second team to rank 2 today blew all my gold.

 
Yeah, I think it's a good idea, especially if we could pair people up on time-availability, as well as champs. It seems that a lot of times our difficulties stem from sitting around waiting for a node to be cleared.

I think we're also short on tech heroes in our top groups, but maybe we got some more since the last time I looked.

 
These are all good ideas. I'd also like to resubmit the idea of holding potions/revives/etc for a bit so we can try to take down some harder maps and score higher. The rank rewards are pretty damn good from the 500 4* shards and up. Actually the funny thing is the next ranking up after that is 750 3* shards. I'd take the 500 4* shards over 750 3* shards any day.

Yes, and we have a shocking amount of people who do not take this into account before choosing their path

 
About teaming up: good idea. Lets do that based on timezone, to prevent waiting with long intervals.

Dupe day has been elimited, see Adora's post on http://community.kabam.com/forums/showthread.php?572749-Arena-and-Event-Feedback-9-23&p=2586882#post2586882

3. Where has dupe day gone?

‘Dupe day’ was resulting in player behaviour that we did not intend and felt was detrimental to player growth within the game. We don’t have plans to bring it back at this time. We’re sticking with the 7 day crystal events and 3 day rank-up/level-up events for now, we’ve mentioned that we are currently re-working alliance events.

Was coming to post that link as well - basically means there is no need to hold any other crystals at this point, no?

How so? We still get a lot of shards, and now we don't HAVE to wait with crystals if we don't want to.

Agree - I think the fun goes up if they eliminate all dupe and crystal-opening events altogether and replace them with other events. That way, it eliminates the alliance stress, and people can open their crystals whenever they want/need to.

 
Because I looked forward to being able to open all those things on one day. It was fun and I didn't care about hoarding.

So, we're all in agreement that we can just open stuff with impunity? Because I'm sitting on a bunch of shard PHCs, a couple shard 3s and one shard 4. May well pop the 4* offer too, so I could go from three 4*s to at least five in short order.

 
We can still open the crystals on one day, but that day will not be called by Kabam but we decide it.

I think we should open crystals every other week during a crystal event. It's more fun (for me anyways) to open a load of crystals at once in stead of every day a few. If everyone participates we'll get some free rewards from the crystal event. Nothing really special but they're free :)

It's also nice to see those 3 and 4* dropping for everyone, gives a nice positive boost we all every now and then need.

I understand, but like woot said individually you can decide to hold for x amount of time. And I think we should do every other week as well.

 
Just updated. SOOOOOO close to a 4* from shards....need 15 more!! (Still haven't 100%'d Act 3 either...these side quests have derailed that progress.)

Get to it!

I've been getting a good Amount of 4* shards lately. 400k in arena gives 100 shards and 2 PHCs. Around 650k-ish gives you 125 shards plus a 3* crystal, which obviously if duped gives another 55. Between the arenas, dupes, and various events I think it's possible to get enough every 4-5 week.

 
Thinking I just sell my 3* Hulkbuster and basically trade him in for a 4*. Can't possibly be worse than an unduped nonleveled Hulkbuster, right?

This is what I did to get enough 4* shards, then yesterday I pulled a 3* hulkbuster from a PHC shard. That will teach me to try and game Kabam just to get to open a crystal a few days earlier.

Anyone have like 50k in Mystic iso they want to give me?

 
Now I finally have enough 4* shards, but I have to wait for the kids to get home from school otherwise they'll likely kill me in my sleep. Obviously I'll level up that 4* first along with my other 4* (Rocket Raccoon). By the way, wouldn't it be a kick in the nuts if my 2nd 4* is just a Raccoon dupe? Anyway, I have a ton of 3* heroes not leveled at all, with a bunch duped. Which should I focus on leveling up first for arena play? What is the point where rank/level increasing for these guys won't get me many more arena points?

Duped:

YellowJacket

Abomination

Winter Soldier

Iron Patriot

Ronan

Sup Iron Man

Wolverine

Electro

Non-Duped

Ultron

Cap Am WWII

Black Widow

Iron Fist

Hulkbuster

Ms Marvel

Ant Man

Black Bolt

Magneto

Drax

Jugg

 
Is that the whole roster or do you have some guys who are already ranked up? How many champs do you currently have at 1350+?
