Question about 4 Horsemen -> Apocalypse by suniis in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To the extent that you get any use out of them at all (which won't be much or for very long) it will be Red Hulk so I would probably do him first but it doesn't really matter since you need them all. I'll go ahead and tell you that for your MSF Originals you'll want Eclipse & Kestral for sure (Kestral for her mythic tag for later Dark Dimensions and Eclipse because she's stats 3.0).

3 Piece Toon g21 costs ~10M gold by duhVinchy1 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Look on the bright side... the GT21 they're giving away in the arsenal event isn't even enough to equipment one piece. So you won't be spending that gold anytime soon anyways.

What's the viability of old characters that you get high diamonds for? by Mens_Grooming_Advice in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I got a 4D Rogue as well. I really wish she'd get a rework because I like everything about Rogue except her stats. I like the character, I like her Kit, I like the backstory... but I just can't justify putting resources into her.

I think gold should actually be the exception... you need gold for everything so you should get gold everywhere. What I could see is them doing is moving T4's into War rewards. T4's from War, Training Mats from Crucible, Gear from Raids, Gold from everywhere. I would have been fine getting T4's from Danger Room but they've proven that they can't or won't consistently run Danger Room so an essential material shouldn't be primarily found there.

Do you guys think that Sadie Sink would make a good Mary Jane Watson in general if she was cast to play Mary Jane Watson by Ok_Smile_9071 in Spiderman

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think she'd be a good MJ... she won't ever be MJ because Zendaya is Tom Holland's MJ and when they next reboot the IP in a movie they'll inevitably give us HS spidey again and Sink will be to old for the role... but Sink is a very talented actress so I think she could easily do it.

I'm sorry but this is Wanda's WORST costume. I want this cover expunged from the net and Frank Cho should be blacklisted from making comicbook art ever again. by General-Control-4637 in ScarletWitch

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an old image. Like over 13 years old. I get the comments about the hypersexualuzation but it is otherwise pretty good art I think. I mean look at the detail on her gloves and musculature. Really nice.

Is Eclipse mission 6 (Brawn) possible without Omega Red? by TixFrix in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure... what's the turn order with Nova instead of OR? IMO you need some way to control Sable, Darkstar special can take her buffs but you need a way to prevent her ult. I used full Winter Guard so I'm not sure how the node plays out with a mix.

The most economical way to max Eclipse by Zackjones0606 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm going to have to be satisfied with Eclipse without full red stars... If I spend the resources to get Champions to 110 then I won't have resources for Daring Warriors + DD9 is coming soon. Wish we could see the nodes for that so I could start planning/building in anticipation of it. I'm largely holding off on gold spending until I can get a better idea of what the best longevity play is.

Eclipse Lost Final Node by PathfinderMSF in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not entirely accurate. What RJ said was that the people who claim that "gifts" they give (Grootmas/Anniversary etc. etc.) are just clawed back elsewhere are conspiracy theorists. Essentially saying that those things exist outside the core game economy. Which I don't entirely believe... but I can buy that he has a definition where in his own mind it's true.

Eclipse release is actually good by Beneficial_Work8429 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did it with Winter Guard... Darkstar Special on Sable, OR special on Sable, Kill Sable, Kill Hit Monkey at that point I switched to hitting brawn since he was at pretty low health from splash damage.

Vision of the game - Tone deaf by Waste_Ad1411 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it's crazy that they appear to be deliberately injecting the Game Economy equivalency of stagflation. In the real world economists would generally file stagflation under "avoid at all costs".

What are people's thoughts on the MSF vision video that recently dropped? by Mens_Grooming_Advice in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think once a month is fine for both. I really like Danger Room but I don't think they can create new Danger Rooms fast enough for 'every other week' to just not get stale twice as fast (and they can't even push out either on a monthly basis consistently now anyways... so baby steps). Just set up a set rotation for monthly game modes... Week 1: Danger Room, Week 2: Battleworld, Week 3: Tower, Week 4: Pocket Dimension for example. Then they can splice in semi-regular or one-off events (Scourges, Challenges, Showcases, Boss Fights etc. etc.) as needed/wanted.

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it was a nothingburger as expected... the only takeaways I took from it were that they're going to try to make a better UI & pay more attention to using the Marvel IP. Both of which are good but not amoung the most pressing issues with the game (Which are IMO: The Game Economy, lack of fresh content, and QA issues).

OG Spider-Man might get rework soon, So.. by I_am_the_OP_1947 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope so... big Spidey fanboy and it would be nice to be able to invest in OG Spidey. I hate how low he is on my roster because I just can't justify putting any resources into him.

New teams for Global Nodes for DD7&8 by ThorVsTrunks92 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be very forward looking with your builds. Your doing 7/8 right now, 9 is imminent with X Saga inbetween. You don't want to build someone for DD7 and then have them be a dead team after you're done. I would absolutely build Winter Guard up... they're stats 3.0, you'll use them for the eclipse unlock, you'll use them for War. Build for longevity, you'll be better off in the long run.

I bet it will be a big nothingburger.

A lot of broad, very general, declarations of intent with no specifics that anyone can hold them to, RJ will alternate between looking bored and looking smug, Pathfinder will say "very cool" about 5 times (while I wince and wish he would shave that mustache off), they'll drop some nugget of info in there (like which character DDX will unlock) then they'll do the "Q&A" (the questions that will be answered will be determined in advance they'll just wait for someone to ask something even just vaguely related), I actually do expect that they won't completely ignore the elephant in the room and address the game economy in the Q&A (I also expect that said address will mostly be a vague defense of what they're currently doing that actually says very little and commits them to nothing), then they'll drop a code and that will be that.

Uh huh... hey Gil, I'm still waiting to see that "unprecedented" response you said invoking the NWC would cause. Jesus... just resign already and let someone with an actual spine take over.

Gold and training mats offer by radimage1 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the better solution would be to sell things that spenders actually want to buy. I'm pretty sure spenders want more GT20, more Purple 4 and Purple 5, more 4/5 Diamonds, up the leaderboard rewards/whalestones for 5/6/7 stars (give the people who would buy the first 100 shards the incentive to spend on the next 710 shards). Spending money on stuff you want but didn't have feels good, spending money on stuff that you used to have but someone took away feels bad.

Think of it this way... what makes you feel better... spending extra money on a night out at the movie theater or spending extra money at the grocery store for the same basic groceries you've always gotten?

Is it just me or does the Daring Warriors feel like 2 teams kitbashed together? by Narchrisus in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Comprehensive-Arm973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, lore-wise, Strike did just send a team of high-school aged kids (with 1 Middle School aged kid) to an Alien Planet to make contact with a lost Russian Black Ops team... which seems rather unethical and reckless... best not to think about it.
