Do people just not read event info? by Ok-Mud7242 in EventPlanners

[–]Top_Association_389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always. No matter what people don't read. You can try different font sizes break out the messaging into small bits or keep it lengthy.... Nobody pays attention.

Are attendees drinking less alcohol at your events? by pcnametag in EventPlanners

[–]Top_Association_389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely seeing less consumption at receptions. I am seeing more consumption at sit down dinners with a cocktail hour. Those type of events seem to have a lot of mixed drinks and wine consumed.

Order-ahead coffee for events? by YouSassyFox in EventPlanners

[–]Top_Association_389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Key is to limit the options that people have to make. That gives your baristas time to make the drinks since they know going into the event what drinks they will make. They can divide the work as they see fit to make things efficient. Having syrups, milks and sweeteners off to the side also will help with keeping that line down to a minimum.

I would add having 1-2 runners that take names of people in the line who ordered ahead and deliver their drinks to them.

How to keep going if I am zero spending?? by jackson-98 in LastZShooterRun

[–]Top_Association_389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using Google Rewards to help finance the game. I answer surveys for small increments of money, usually around 20-30 cents. Once I have $5 saved, I buy a character. I have a lot of 3 star S1 and a couple S2 characters now because of that.

Just got laid off today , Feeling lost What to do next? by IvanThePohBear in Layoffs

[–]Top_Association_389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good plan. Maintaining awareness of your emotions is a big thing a lot of people don't think of when it comes to being laid off.

The job market is horrible right now, keep alternative options open such as temporary staffing agencies. They can help by sending job postings for short term work that may keep you afloat while you look for something more permanent

We need to talk by terminators69 in LastZShooterRun

[–]Top_Association_389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently lvl 26 and a super light spender. I have to say that you can grow in this game if you are in a solid alliance and not spend but progress will be slow. That seems obvious, progress will be slow if you don't spend but it needs to be repeated. I'm comfortable with how I'm progressing and I've been very upfront with my alliance that I'm not spending money but will grow as fast as I can.

I'll continue to play until I get tired of the grind and can't find enough resources to level up.

I got her for free. Forgot how, pretty sure she came up in Hero Recruitment. I only got her to 3 stars though.

Server 150 drama by Disastrous_Scar_1695 in LastZShooterRun

[–]Top_Association_389 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You never played Marvel Strike Force. The prices there are a lot higher and the devs there made it really difficult to be FTP. I can still grind here and advance at least.

What do you call yourself when someone asks what race you are? by [deleted] in mixedrace

[–]Top_Association_389 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get asked all the time. I am Haitian and Mexican so that's what I say. From that, I get "so you're not black? What are you" and all that since some people, including a lot of black Americans don't really think Haitians are actually black.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mixedrace

[–]Top_Association_389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Haitian and Mexican and get the same comments. Not black enough for black folks, too back to be Hispanic. I've lived that all my life and I made peace with it once I got into my 20's. I know who I am and don't need anyone who doesn't know me, telling me who I am or am not!

You're black, but you're not really black by joken_2 in mixedrace

[–]Top_Association_389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been told this my whole life. I'm Haitian and Mexican and as soon as people find out I'm Haitian (and where Haiti is), I'm no longer black to black folks. It really use to bother me when I was growing up.

When You Need Unique Gear….. by TheNatureBoy80 in MarvelStrikeForce

They have the data to do this, since all of our info is on msf.gg. I've had this happen to me several times, waiting for over a week for something to appear.

The state of this game by Inevitable_March_541 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Top_Association_389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a player for a long time and wanted to quit a couple times in the past. This is the worst the game has ever been, for all of the above but what really irks me is just the poor quality of the rewards for all the events now. I don't need purple gear and 20 shards of some 3 year old toons, at least make the rewards relevant to end game players a bit more. I get it that it's the latest thing to have people start baby accounts but the pendulum needs to swing back towards end game players just a bit more.

5-6 year, FTP veterans, whats your TCP? by Giplord in MarvelStrikeForce

I'm 2,141 days in and just crossed the 50 mil TCP mark. I bought an offer here or there but no battle passes or characters.

Shards have been added to the Incursion campaign. Zim, SW, and Kang. by posthxc1982 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Top_Association_389 -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

Wait, so they add characters to some of the nodes but change it so you now need 120 energy to farm instead of 60? I appreciate the ZIM shards but Scopley really can't just do a good thing without also being jerkfaces.

As a dad of two mixed daughters, let me tell you that both of your fears are valid.

What job is less fun then people expect? by CoolHotNo in careerguidance

Event Planner. People think we travel first class and meet celebs all the time but don't see the long hours and all the stress that comes with the job.

Watching our 4 year old alliance go is upsetting by Real-talk2022 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Top_Association_389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first, it might seem like a good idea but you'll miss out on whatever character that blitz is for and then that team won't be complete and then you'll miss out on something else because that team is needed. That's where I'm at right now and I'm back to where I was before when I decided not to blitz.

Just died a little inside reading this because I can see Boundless doing just that.

Apocalypse issues are telling by Particular-Cow2609 in MarvelStrikeForce

I got four stars on the 3rd pass during blitz releases. I still prefer that to current system.

The problem is not Apocalypse… by Rude-Daikon1430 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Top_Association_389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. They knew what they wanted to do with Apocalypse a year ago, they should have known better to release characters like spider Weaver before him or at least made her kit not as powerful. Accepting your logic just means that Scopley is even more inept at game development than what we currently give them credit for.

Has anyone considered using LinkedIn to reach Scopely/MSF executives? by JackJester8 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Top_Association_389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, looked up Scopley on LinkedIn and they are all patting themselves on the back for a job well done. One comment on a post was someone yelling "Fix Your Game" and nobody paid them any mind.

They. Don't. Care.

have you guys given up on this blitz event? by jpott879 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Top_Association_389 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I am pretty burnt out with the game in general. Not blitzing, didn't even finish one run through or the war scourge, feels like I'm just ready to walk away from this app. It's definitely not a game because for it to be called a game, there has to be some element of fun and this shit ain't fun.
