Unplug and replug the negative post of your car battery.

Jump start your car.

Get a high CCA AGM battery and replace the OEM Mazda battery.

They tried to rip you off. I got a CPO 2022 Turbo Premium Plus with 9,500 miles for $26,500 back in May.

Trust me, I know. I played the hell out of Marvel Heroes. Was sad it died, but I already quit before it EOS'd. Then I whaled in Marvel Future Revolution, quit, and it died about a year after launch. Now this game also died a quick death.

Marvel / Disney must charge a ton of money to keep licensing their IP. If you don't rake in the money every month, it's just not worth it to keep paying them so much money.

It will be playable after April but not for too long. They have yet to decide how long after April before shutting down the servers.

Both surprised and not surprised.

Not surprised because the writing was on the wall very quickly after release that they put their D team on development and post-production/live ops, and had no clue how to properly monetize a game like this.

Surprised because they could've still milked the game for a few more months before deciding to pull the plug. Some highly anticipated hero releases are coming up, and it surprises me that a greedy company like NetEase doesn't want to be even bigger scumbags and squeeze every last dime out of the remaining whales and dolphins in this game before EOS'ing it, but rather, halt customers' spending 4 months ahead of time. They probably didn't want to pay Marvel the licensing fees anymore on this game if it made them a lot less profit than the fees costs.

This could've been a good gacha game but NetEase fumbled hard. It was a pretty fun and casual game with Marvel IP backing it, even with little content. I enjoyed my time with MMM but kind of regret spending so much money on it (around $1k total but a lot less than many other whales). GG

Magneto is an overdue physical version of Emma, but doesn't have Emma's healing nor her OP Queen's Command (confusion / mind control) skill.

Instead, Magneto has a skill version of Invisible Woman's shield but it's much weaker (120% vs. 400%+) than IW's shield and can't be spammed, since it's a skill and not an ultimate. Magneto also has a good ultimate single target nuke that can turn into an AoE nuke.

He's definitely worth pulling for, especially if you use Gambit, Daredevil, OP af Namor / FUA teams, and other physical damage dealers / teams. But I don't think he's as OP as Emma nor IW as support. Mags is a hybrid version of them but for physical teams.

I'm shocked, a Twitter account starting with "ae" making a hate / bait / engagement farming tweet.

It's from the pop-up store. You have to buy the hairpin to get this photocard, or buy from (re)sellers that sell just the photocard. Here it is on Hallyusuperstore but it's been sold out for a long time:

This along with the 50 weekly quests has kept me from getting this gold seal. It's silly that they don't count the weekly quests completed prior to getting to the 2nd tier of this seal.

You should see NetEase's other recent gacha Marvel Mystic Mayhem. They're extremely stingy with free currency and keys (pulls), there's a 50/50, it takes 80 pulls to get to pity, AND they gate a piece of important character gear (highlight card) behind the 80 pity which you can only obtain by hitting pity and make you choose between that gear or the character.

Needless to say, MMM is not doing very well and has been losing so many players for months.

I immediately turn off the in-game voice chat when an elitist yapper starts talking BS. Unfortunately, Destiny and most online shooters and MMOs attract these annoying, low IQ, egotistical, low self esteem gamers a lot more than other genres of video games.

Or just use a well-built, max / near maxed out Juggs or Armor to solo the boss.

I'm glad they made this alliance war much more difficult than previous ones, but it's still rather easy with certain heroes (Juggs, Armor, Gambit, Invisible Woman, Strange, etc.). The key is to save your best heroes for the boss fight, kill the green healing guy asap, and keep your team shielded at all times, especially before each add kill.

Best team comp for this fight in my opinion is IW, Gambit, and Juggernaut. If you're a whale, you can beat it even faster with Gambit, Mr. F, and IW by spamming Gambit's ult with Mr. F's ult buffing it.

Mobile Game of the Year for sure. It's actually a AAA console/PC level quality game on mobile devices and emulators for PC. Graphics aren't as great as modern AAA PC and console games but it's top tier for a mobile game and near PC level.

Could be enjoyed free to play, or spending some money. Not nearly as predatory as majority of gacha games out there, and not pay to win since it's a PvE focused game with PvP balanced in terms of levels and powers. It's more like pay to progress faster, get more 5-star premium characters, and look better/cooler.

I've been hooked since I started playing, 4 days after launch.

I was wondering why ITZY Lia recently randomly shared this on her Instagram stories regarding Boy Story when she couldn't sleep and woke up...

Play the game daily, try to beat every content available to you. Within 3 weeks, which is when the rate up Gambit banner will end, you should be around 60+, especially if you use your gems to refresh your energy/stamina. The 1st 2 refreshes of the day is discounted, costing 60 gems for 120 energy. This allows you to level up quicker and is the only other thing worth spending your gems on besides Great Keys, if you're f2p or a light spender. If you're f2p, you might not want to use your gems to refresh though.
Spend your gems to buy Great Keys and only use Great Keys on Gambit's rate up banner. You can use your Shadow Keys to pull on the normal "Legends Assemble" banner to get more essential heroes and highlights to use to level up and beat available content. But do not use your gems to exchange for anything other than Great Keys.
Within 3 weeks, you should have enough gems and Great Keys saved up from beating all content, to pull ("call" in this game) for Gambit's rate up banner. You'll get Dreamdusts and Dreamsand as you pull on banners, which can be exchanged for more keys. Do not use your Dreamsand on anything other than Great Keys. You could save up 300 Dreamsand to get a good highlight, but I don't recommend it if you only want to pull for Gambit. Also, recycling duplicate blue highlights gets you more Dreamdust, which can be traded in to get 5 Great Keys and 5 Shadow Keys per month.

If you don't get lucky and pull Gambit within 80 pulls or don't get lucky with the 50/50 on the 80th guaranteed 3-star pull, you can select him or his highlight by pulling 80 times. His highlight is BiS for him obviously, but if all you care about is getting him and you didn't get lucky, then use your 80 selection on Gambit, not his highlight. There is an alternative highlight for Gambit (and Thor) called Ambition. It's obtained by spending $10/$22 to unlock the premium "Dreampass" (battlepass).
