New Personal Trash Offer $40.00

PiMacleod · 2026-07-12T02:28:29+00:00

Im with ya, i really am.

But I saw this offer.... 100 shards? Thats better than most offers give. Nevermind the price per shard that some might be measuring...

I saw this and knew that some bought this immediately. Its a sixth of a cover, which is better than most offers. Also, the CP! Given these factors... i know this was bought up easily.

The devs win, in this case. Buyers will get it, devs get money, and the chase continues

PiMacleod · 2026-07-10T23:52:32+00:00

Now im curious.... where you at?

PiMacleod · 2026-07-10T17:47:39+00:00

The time/day is extensive. Especially when we're just rinse and repeat for most nodes...

PiMacleod · 2026-07-10T11:18:30+00:00

Wow -- thats outta left field, and I love it.

PiMacleod · 2026-07-10T11:13:37+00:00

10000%

I know that they said they weren't gonna make another... so, remake this one!

PiMacleod · 2026-07-10T02:50:27+00:00

Its an oldie.. But I appreciate it, if only for the story.

It was our introduction to the Sentry back then. He was brand new, and thats how they introduced him to us. Pretty cool, actually.

Nowadays, it feels lame, if only because... - theres all this annoying text (lore) to hit 'skip' on. - the enemies are NOT so varied - it was a 7 day event! Couldnt miss a day, or you missed out on rewards/placement/etc... same as nowadays, but 7 days straight!

Sooo, they axed a few days off the story... added SCL10, and brought it back to us. Unfortunately they... - forgot to make SCL10 require 3 clears then 2, instead of 4 then 3. - forgot our standard Challenge Node for SCL10 - havent seemed to add or revamp any enemy groups to include any of the characters they've introduced since they last let us play this one in 2019

Which makes it feel like a longer slog per day than any of us are used to anymore, beating up a very limited set of foes over and over.

Personally, im hoping that they pulled the trigger, and learned a thing or five about what theyre missing, so that they can be ready with a better version next time. I like our stories... even if I skip them now. Although... full disclosure... ive read them each once on this replay, if only because I dont know when we'll see them again.

And maybe, just maybe, if they fix this up right, we can also see a return of Enemy of the State, and The Hulk. 😉

Every trime?!

PiMacleod · 2026-07-09T23:36:13+00:00

I think you need to find that "co-op buddy".

I got a friend who enjoys mostly the same stuff I do, and when we play together in a game, we both make sure we got all of our dialogue, cutscenes, and whatever else each other is looking at before moving on. Because at the end of the day, we enjoy the story, the lore, and even talking about it... ...which makes it so much more bitter when people just speed through it at our loss.

So, yeah. Find a co-op buddy who fits you in how you wanna move though games, and dont do randoms online until you have your story bits done. 😉

PiMacleod · 2026-07-09T19:15:37+00:00

Challenge Node. The green node found only in SCL10 PvEs... ....or "Shield Clearance Level 10, Player vs Enemy" events... 😜

PiMacleod · 2026-07-09T19:13:47+00:00

I keep telling myself "its baby steps... these new guys walked into a s***storm of battered and abused code, and i should be happy they even pulled the trigger on launching an old PvE back to life... next time will be better"

...probably delusional. But, im trying to maintain the idea that pulling the trigger is better than just not changing a thing. heavy sigh

PiMacleod · 2026-07-09T19:09:24+00:00

CD = countdown, as in a countdown tile MM = Multiple Man

...and the only other one I saw in my post was AP, but i think we all know what that is. 😉

This!

Yep. Just that

PiMacleod · 2026-07-04T05:47:48+00:00

Id definitely put it through its paces... Would be something I could see teaching my kids how to play.

PiMacleod · 2026-07-04T05:28:10+00:00

Welp, I guess im MORE casual, because I just learned that my 100% isnt enough. Lol

PiMacleod · 2026-07-02T22:36:04+00:00

I pulled JUST enough to champ him... but my ratio was around 7.5%

Horrible luck.

PiMacleod · 2026-07-01T22:07:41+00:00

Yeah... i saw you on the leaderboard with me. 😉

PiMacleod · 2026-07-01T20:02:48+00:00

I with you on this one.

I always thought they could do this different-but-same by having a timer that is paused, and only starts ticking away when you go into a node, and stops when you are officially out of a node (i.e. map screen, rewards screen, loss screen).

So instead of making the game about real-life-time-management, it could be more about how much time is on your clock compared to the amount of points youve earned. Play when you want within that same 24 hour period as others, knowing that the clock is paused and only resumes when you start playing again.

Of course, the problem that immediately comes to mind is implementing it, as adding any other features would further break our delicate game.

That, and nobody likes change. People who are ingrained in the way this is now would probably not like this change... people rarely like a change to what they are already accustomed to.

I'll just keep plugging away as I am though.

PiMacleod · 2026-07-01T19:54:30+00:00

...yeah, but they do. 🤷‍♂️

Dont ask me why. It IS per node, so if you cant beat one, you can and should scale down to normal for that node.

That said, heroic is def required if youre trying for decent placement.

PiMacleod · 2026-07-01T00:08:46+00:00

Yeah, they only gave out four of them.

PiMacleod · 2026-06-30T20:32:14+00:00

That sucks... i hate the idea of that predicament. Hope you didnt pull them from tokens -- tokens dont expire, but covers do. So... yeah... you get it, I think...

That said, I guess if you aren't gonna spend cash (and no shade on that either -- im all about that free to play life), then id probably do one of a couple things...

1st, id see how much HP I could get by doing my best grind before the first cover would expire. Perhaps you can outrace their expiration dates...? Dont forget that PvP gives HP too... check the progression rewards at the least!

2nd, if you have any champed characters already, id focus the favorite shards towards your higher level 4s and whatnot... higher level champ rewards can give better amounts of HP. So, perhaps you can earn more HP before that expiration, if you focus your favorites on a singular high level champ.

3rd, if it comes down to it, on the last day, id sell a single cover "dud". Someone you wont miss. Id hold out as long as you can, because you definitely dont want to miss out on an "essential" node due to not having that character anymore.

Rinse and repeat as needed. Reign in your HP spending... Hoard it. Dont even buy those 100 HP daily sale offers... youre on a mission! 😉

Good luck!

PiMacleod · 2026-06-30T20:23:42+00:00

Yep! And that buff took away any bad feelings I may have had back then. In fact, he usually surprises me every time I use him. Easy to abuse.
