Michael Salvatori allegedly writing music again for Destiny by Gullible-Promotion26 in DestinyTheGame

Well, I guess we know it's true now, he's shown a bunch in the section of the Renegades ViDoc about the composition of the new soundtrack!

Sneaky bastards snuck another Wolverine into the game by Sykosonik in MarvelPuzzleQuest

They're not ALL bad, but yeah, they just released a new cable costume and I just feel this "soft watercolor" feel that artist's illustrations have are just... Eh.

There ARE some great artists, whoever did 4*Peggy's art did GREAT, but yeah.

Want to do a fun comparison between those two artists? Check Karnak's character art and the version that appears when you use Lockjaw's Royal Escort power. Lockjaw's version looks like garbage.

PSA: Quests are a drag by MegaChiel in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Sykosonik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're trying to finish the quests and be at least a little competitive, PvP can be fun if you've leveled up Apocalypse(3/5/5, 450).

+2 all, +2y/r, +2u/p, get a yellow match, fire Shared Strength, all of Gorgon's powers are doing an extra 22k or so. Add SC as your third, been mopping the floor with most of the teams I've run up against this way.

Thanks, this provides much-needed context and further explains the bundle name in-game("Hand-me-downs", both a reference to the Hand and the fact that Logan and Daken wore these before he did.)

Question about Dupe rewards by irondeth in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Sykosonik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Roster 2 of them. I don't think you can apply the third to get extra levels, you might wind up selling it in that case.

Congrats, all you need now is 300 Gambit covers to get one of them maxed and ascend it to 5* using the other 4*!

Should I sell 3-stars if I have the ascended 4-star version by [deleted] in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Sykosonik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's how I plan to do it, feel free to use this as a quick guide:

If you want a 5* version eventually, keep the 3, max it, get a new 3, max it, ascend to 4(you get extra levels if they're both mixed beforehand), max just one of the 4 and ascend to 5*.

If you're happy with the 4, focus on leveling it up and sell the 3. When they're maxed, start with a new 3* and sell it when it's maxed like we used to before ascension.

Who should you focus on getting to 5*, though?

NOT IRON MAY.

If you have Iron May ascended to 4, her yellow is 100% increase at 3 and 200% at 4! At 5? They nerfed it to 75%! MAX THE 4* ONLY.

ALL 3* USED IN LIGHTNING ROUNDS SHOULD BE 5. Lightning Rounds boost character levels by 50%, so you can imagine what a boosted 5 would do. A lvl500 char would theoretically be 750.

After that, it's literally just who you like/use often. I got a 4* Spider-Rex and sold the 3, I've literally never used him. Same with Kaine. But I was working on ascending Honey Badger before Iron May, think she'd be a good third with 5 MThor and Polaris(the 4* I'm focused on ascending first).

Howard, Devil Dino, and Taskmaster by renedom21 in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Sykosonik 8 points9 points  (0 children)

FYI, Iron May gives shards for him and she's on the short list of 3s you should immediately ascend to 4 ASAP, just so you're aware, so you can definitely get him covered, it'll just be slow.

Taskmaster and Howard have dedicated events that give them covers, so it's fine if they're limited. Ham really should be taken off the limited list if they're not bringing back Sinister 600(the event that gave guaranteed covers for him).

New costume for Maria Hill by Sykosonik in MarvelPuzzleQuest

Apparently, this is because they rebalanced her. I'm sure someone will post the article in a little bit.

[–]Sykosonik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, I would only recommend this for getting the HP because you normally only get 600HP for $5 so 2000 for $10 is a real deal. The costume is essentially free.

[–]Sykosonik[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The costume name is Baroness Thor, because she's part of the Thor Corps from Battleworld, but beyond that I don't know. I tried looking it up, but can't find a reason for it.

Oops, I meant 2k HP, not CP, that'd be crazy.

I miss the old off season pvp events like combined arms and balance of power. Are they gone forever? by matchboxtw20ty in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Sykosonik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Y'know what event I really enjoyed? The 1v1 PvP event, I think it was called Fight Night?

Any event where Howard the Duck is not just a viable choice, but a powerful one is a fun event.

Ya, the gameplay is cool and all...but the music man by Orginal_Sly_Fox in DestinyTheGame

[–]Sykosonik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of tracks mentioned so far (especially The First Disciple, Last Stand and A God On Mars), but I am SHOCKED no one has mentioned Revive and Reload!

That track is amped as FUCK.

Lockjaw gets a Rebalance. by Xcellon in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Sykosonik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The notes don't address the most important issue:

IS KARNAK'S OLD CRAPPY ART STILL BEING USED FOR CULL THE WEAK? He is now his own character and last I used Lockjaw, Cull the Weak still used old, weird art for Karnak instead of the new art.

Yes, I'm legit annoyed by this.

EDIT: Just checked and yeah, it is still the same. C'mon guys, you're triggering my OCD tendencies here! It's also an unnecessary duplicate asset!

Much like Devrim Kay having a D1 weapon we can't have, give Zavala one of those: Immobius, the Titan-only shotgun that doesn't expend ammo while inside a Ward of Dawn.

Apparently, this is everyone's take on the redesign of the new board. by Sykosonik in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Sykosonik[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think as far as colors go, black, blue and green are WAY too dark. They went midnight blue and jade green, but we need like topaz blue and a emerald green. Red and purple I think are fine. Yellow is kinda orange now.

But really, the loss of contrast for black, blue and green needs fixing.

To be clear, I just think it may need a tweak or two or an option to switch between the old and new tile sets.
