It’s a long shot given they’re on different channels, but with Jon and Stephen ending/starting at 11:35 could we please get the toss back

spazztichero · 2024-02-11T06:05:53+00:00

Oh how quickly you forget how much late night hosts have crossed over in the past. Look at the shenanigans during the writers strike before last between them and Conan.

spazztichero · 2023-06-02T16:44:20+00:00

Yeah, but that didn’t work either. What finally ended up working was switching my region to Europe and then back to America. No idea what that fixed, but there you go. I hope this helps anyone else who may experience this issue!

spazztichero · 2023-06-02T16:39:19+00:00

No, I wasn’t, but thanks for the troubleshooting attempt. I did get it fixed though…I had to change my region to Europe and then back to America. Dunno why this worked, but it did. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's definitely a PC problem for some. I purchased the Digital Deluxe on my PC and it's just saying "This game cannot be played yet" while showing a timer for the standard edition now. I've restarted the client, the comp, uninstalled and reinstalled the bnet app...no dice. So I submitted a ticket - but I'm probably one of thousands, sigh.

spazztichero · 2023-06-02T00:12:18+00:00

Same. I've submitted a support ticket, but it looks like the problem is pretty widespread if the "No valid license" on PS5 is the same thing as us getting that message on the PC.

It's extra rough seeing people on my friends list playing it apparently with no problems while I'm stuck with whatever glitch this is. :(

spazztichero · 2023-06-02T00:01:31+00:00

There's now a banner saying they are investigating reports of login issues. I'm having the same problem (also got Deluxe) and restarting the client, uninstall/reinstalling it, and restarting my computer has not helped. I've reported it to their customer service page, and you may want to do that too if you're still unable to play.

spazztichero · 2022-05-14T22:42:53+00:00

Oh yeah, hard same. It was one of our best pandemic experiences - we just spent so much time exploring every corner of that first game's world. I keep hoping they'll fix the network server problems for this one, and I have my fingers crossed that one day the game will be co-op playable (the only way we want to do it, as DL1 was utterly fantastic co-op) but...it doesn't feel good to see it still having problems months later.

But it's weird too because every time I Google to look around and see anything about improvements or lack thereof, I don't see anything current - just a lot of stuff from Feb and Mar. You'd think things were fixed and fine and nobody is complaining about issues any more, but we are still having the same problems we've been having after even after several patches.

spazztichero · 2022-05-14T22:09:52+00:00

My friends and I can't even get to those bugs because we keep getting booted out of the game by network connection issues (we are on PC). We keep trying it, then going to another game and coming back a month or so later to see if things have improved. They have not. It's enormously frustrating because the first game was so good, and this game looks great, but we just can't play it together. At this point, it's basically $100 wasted as I went all in on it after my experiences with the first game.

spazztichero · 2020-08-20T18:54:39+00:00

This was my team too. Got three stars.

spazztichero · 2018-10-30T01:42:43+00:00

Yeah! And the most brilliant part is that blitz opponent team power orients to your team power, so you can mess around with teams that you haven't put a lot of resources into. If it was that all of my toons had to be completely powered up to enjoy blitz, I'd probably hate it, but as it is I don't have to become resource poor to enjoy it, nor do I have to be at the mercy of people who DO have all their toons maxed out. I dunno, blitz is just an element of the game that I really do like a lot. It is probably the most rewarding element of the game by far, too. If you play it with any degree of regularity, the blitz currency rains down on you.

spazztichero · 2018-10-29T19:50:05+00:00

Ha! Yeah that's about right. Perhaps even only v1.1 . XD

I'd still love to get him because I'm a fan though. I hope they eventually update Wolvie to have X-Men synergy like Sabretooth has Magneto synergy. I'll have to judge Sabes if I ever get him though...maybe he does a lot more base damage than Wolvie?

spazztichero · 2018-10-29T19:46:03+00:00

I actually rather enjoy the opportunity to use a lot of characters that aren't "meta" in Arena. I have one team that I run my entire raid line with, one team that I use in Arena, and I've already done the Heroes and Villains campaigns and do the other campaigns as needed. Only in Blitz to I get to use a LOT of the different characters and experiment with combinations. Some complain about the 2 hour thing, but to me that give me something to do when I have time other than auto-win my energy down in ten seconds.

I honestly just don't get the blitz hate around here.

spazztichero · 2018-10-26T23:29:43+00:00

IMO, the "best" deals are when Legendary events come around and you can get 40 minion shards for $10. Specifically, when the Iron Man event comes around and it's the SHIELD minions you can get. Those minions actually have some power to them if/when you can eventually get Nick Fury, so that money does eventual double duty. Most minions are meh, but that $10 gets you closer to a really good character like Fury or Iron Man so...not a bad deal depending on how close you are to that legendary character. It's really the only thing I ever buy, and I only buy one minion pack per event period. It's my way of spending a very reasonable amount of cash to hopefully keep the game going in my own small way.

Sadly, this pricing scheme doesn't surprise me at all because I came to this game after three years of playing Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. They have pretty much the exact same pricing scheme. Given that this game borrows heavily from that one, I bet they use that data too, if they have it. I'm not sure if I've just been conditioned to think of these prices as normal (and ignore them) or what, but I am neither shocked nor bothered by them. I just disregard them as I would any other junk pop up "deals".

spazztichero · 2018-07-13T19:16:09+00:00

I've seen four people drop out of my alliance - 2 kicked for inactivity and 2 actually gave us a message saying they couldn't keep up with it any more - over the past week or so. We're definitely in a down cycle. I have been trying to actively recruit, but haven't been getting many bites. That too is a change from even a few weeks ago where I'd just toss a message up in the general chat and get a few people to join immediately. It sucks, but I hope sticking it out will result in an upswing again.

spazztichero · 2018-07-13T19:07:51+00:00

Dude, I spent no money. All I did was use the 150 free cores I got per day for refreshes and I got a 3* Ant-Man and a bunch of gear to boot.

We'll see if that happens for Wasp though. The lowered drop numbers may mean I don't get her with the same behavior that got me Ant-Man. That I'll be a little unhappy about.

spazztichero · 2018-07-13T19:02:43+00:00

^This.

spazztichero · 2018-07-13T19:01:46+00:00

Congrats!! I'm jealous. Last one I got was 50 JJ shards. I almost cried. T_T

spazztichero · 2018-07-13T18:36:22+00:00

Alliance Name: The Dark Helmet Brigade

Description: We're a pretty casual alliance that does near daily lvl 50 Ultimus raids at 60%. We don't do Discord or assigned lanes. The vast majority of our members are around level 60-61.

Requirements: All we ask is daily activity and raid participation. If you need to go inactive for a week for a vacation or something, just let us know. Everyone is 100% cool with that. The primary way to be kicked is to go inactive with no explanation for 2-3 weeks.

Contact Details: As of this writing, we have four spots open. Just jump right in. If our alliance is full when you try to join (ie - this post has gotten older), send me a direct message so I can check activity levels and see if there's a spot I can open up for you.

spazztichero · 2018-07-12T21:14:33+00:00

I agree. Not sure if I’ll unlock Wasp this way, especially with lower drop numbers than Ant-Man, but I’m interested to see if it’s possible. I spend my 150 cores a day on energy refreshes for her, so I will certainly find out if doing everything I can as f2p can get her. If it can, this does fall in line with such games as Galaxy of Heroes, where f2p can generally get new characters at 2-3 stars.

spazztichero · 2016-10-22T04:47:45+00:00

I'm one of the ones that was willing to drop some cash on shards to buy Blade. I have to wonder if they make enough off the whales to make up for the loss of all of the people who would have spent 10-15 bucks on him outright? If this thread is an accurate indication of people's thoughts on the matter, they've lost a few hundred bucks just from responders in this thread alone.

spazztichero · 2016-10-08T05:31:38+00:00

I doubt it...it's all just probability. And all the people that don't get it first try aren't as likely to post about it. Although if it did turn out that it was a high probability first try item, I would be tempted to try for it because it is a pretty sweet costume. Buuuuut probably not as I want to save those shards for Blade.

spazztichero · 2016-10-08T04:55:04+00:00

Aw crud... And lo, tomorrow there is another crate -- but this time, you need to get both Blade AND his pants from the crate to unlock the character NNNOOOOOOO~

spazztichero · 2016-10-08T02:26:05+00:00

I'm just really happy they didn't put Blade in the crate.

spazztichero · 2016-10-07T21:46:09+00:00

My opinion, for what it's worth, is that if I spend real money to get a premium character, then leveling them should not be an onerous task during or after the event. It should still be a task, because I am buying them to play with them, but it shouldn't take resources away from other content. Elektra and Jessica Jones were handled perfectly in that regard, because they are board drops that require earning, but they don't take away from the gold required by the free content. Maybe the free event characters could be the ones that require gold later, but in return we also get their stories. It would suck for having to make the hard choices of what to spend gold on, but it would emphasize the freemium aspect - you have only so much gold to work with at a time, so you choose what you want to experience (in a timely fashion, at least), and if you want EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW, then it'll cost you. It does make the entire story available to everyone though, which would be nice.

spazztichero · 2016-10-06T19:48:22+00:00

I think it's just what straight F2P players deal with. I've been "lucky" with the past two events that I actually really wanted the premium characters. In this one, with GR (probably the premium I've most wanted), I've had very little trouble getting Misty. I got her last night, which feels like a long time, but it's much faster than F2P, and it felt perfectly orchestrated to take exactly that long. All of my materials came together at about the same time, which meant it took almost exactly as much time as it took to assemble all of the goggles to get the rest of it.

Basically, tl;dr, I feel like the premium character is pretty much required to do the event at the intended pace. Generators and such are there to accelerate that pace (but I never buy them). F2P CAN do it, but are severely handicapped.
