  • Long term you want lots of utility in a champ. That's Hulk Rags, things you shouldn't overlook 1) Ability to recover passive DoT (already mentioned) 2) Taunt mechanic, when you're facing an unblockable special bias or all or nothing. People seem to forget this one, it's a biggie. 3) Unstoppable mechanic, when you mess up,…
  • No that information is wrong. It is as the OP found. Special 3 means they are capable of launching an SP3 during the fight, it is not the same as "Power Start" which is what you are describing. (Bishop can theoretically start with an SP3 because he persists power). In AQ & AW, all enemies except sentinels can launch an SP3…
  • That's not right either. Infinity dust will not convert to anything, it just becomes normal worthless dust that will disappear into the empty void where Kabam's heart should be.... just to paraphrase. Anyway, I don't get why people didn't spend there dust. There was ample time between when all the events finished by which…
  • Yes... and the mistake was a Kabam employee, not the players. Again, if I got 6 months use of a VPN, but then the company told me they were removing the sole purpose for me buying it in the first place. Then yes, I would still ask for a refund. Domino is out tomorrow because of Kabam's release schedule for champs is in…
  • There is a difference between passive and active selling. People are "spending" resources based on what information they receive. Let's imagine this. 1) I'm looking to get VPN software 2) I ask the software company: I was using the trial version of this software and it allows me to browse the internet from China as though…
  • @Spicyslicer Be aware you can attack straight after the SP3 animation has finished, do not back off to set up an intercept. I'm not saying you can't intercept, I'm saying that those are "free" hits you should take advantage of. Once you get your hits in, back off, set up an intercept, back off and it will probably be time…
  • I would vote for bring the featured back or a change. Make the 5K really mean something. Yeah, the featured crystal now tends to not have any real stinkers in it, but it also tends to not have any champs that will turn your roster on it's head. The relatively high likelihood of getting a new champ is a decent selling…
  • Specific class gem. You have to put the work in to accumulate dust for pretty much a whole month. It's a decent reward, but generics should be reserved for the pinnacle achievements (this is not one of them). However, I don't think all that hard work should go to a gem that you may not be able to use. Too much time and…
  • Do you have another video? Because that happens all the time. You get disconnected during the loading of a fight it will give that error and credit you with a loss. But it is an issue only for that fight. It shows you selecting 3 new champs for the next round, what happened after that?
  • I would even go for a pick your class gem if it was on offer. I'm looking at the gem in the infinity dust store as a massive gamble.
  • My question is... does this make IMIW a counter to Mordo's astral evade? Not that he particularly needs another counter. I just fought a "Stun immune Mordo" or as I would like to call him "Mordo".
  • For the first time in a while I couldn't make milestones for vanquishing blows or dungeons. It's weird that this should coincide on a day where you had emergency maintenance. Yes, I accept that everyone experiences the outage at the same time, but it does not effect every one equally because not everyone is in the same…
  • @FoParty There is a countdown on the crystals, when it expires is the next switch. At the moment of writing this post, the next switch is in 2 days 14 hours and 13 minutes.
  • I guess the first question is what champs does the OP have at their disposal? You can't tell them to use this or this or this, if they're not in their roster. Having said that, the flow of the fight also suggests that the OP doesn't have a good grasp of some of the nuances of the game and managing the AI. You might also…
  • If you're not just going to go for pure dps... Vision... he doesn't hit so hard, but you can power control Cable's power flood and you can potentially heal block his regen. I still think the best option is Sparky followed by SL. Sparky has some emergency power control and his poises charges are fed by Cable's sp1. There is…
  • @GroundedWisdom Too true, even when you're quite sure they're likely an English speaker, you get people ignoring clear clash advantage, randomly switching sides a few rooms in (poison/bleed roadblock excepted), taking down dash vulnerability and leaving some ungodly buff up. The other day, I was right at the end of the…
  • Soooo, I'm just unlucky that every time I pair with someone that doesn't have it set to English that: 1) They don't follow instructions sent over quick chat 2) Every instruction I've received was typed and not sent over quick chat. Can we get a clarification on this from Kabam?
  • Your analogy is flawed in a number of ways, as is your translation to what the other poster is asking for. So between when it goes down, your car repairer doesn't tell you why your car needs to be repaired and they also don't tell you when you will get your car back. You ask, a week passes, nothing, another week. A month…
  • @Riegel Thank you for adding something constructive on the thread. Like you, I suggested that the event is not necessarily time consuming. In my original post, I outlined the RTTL way to achieve the milestones, which would have got you done in around 30 minutes. I just think for that number of fights the one fifth of a T4B…
  • I see many forum posts closed because Kabam want the thread gone, you'll get an obtuse answer that doesn't actually answer the OP's issue and because they've posted an answer they will close the thread. It doesn't resolve the issue, it just increases the frustration of the community. They respond to support tickets in the…
  • This month's event quest was probably the best designed I've seen in a while. From my perspective, the two Thanos have been the most challenging, but rewarding. You can't just learn a single tactic to win the fight, because the fight mechanics change through different phases. Secondly, the boss fights aren't buried behind…
  • @Dexman1349 wouldn't you just change straight to swashbuckler if you want him on attack? If you're planning on using him for offense, I would only r4 him if he was duped. I used to have a 4* r5 max sig in defence, but he's been superseded and to be honest he only gets used in arena now. I'm not dumping on NC, I think he…
  • It is quite clear to me that what you see on screen isn't always what the game is doing behind the scenes. Hitting through block could be an example of this. The best example I can think of is when your hit passes through your opponent, meaning that they've started a special, but the screen is yet to show any indication…
  • I would say just keep running the quest without using items until you get the hang of it. The good news is that you don't have to fight through 10 other champs to practice. For once, Kabam has done us a solid, but giving a low energy final chapter that we can attack multiple times until we get it right without breaking the…
  • @Colonaut123 Agreed, I see the stability of their servers and their game as the cause of most of the disillusionment amongst the player base at the moment rather than feeling that you're being cheated by other players. Right now we are feeling cheated by Kabam. And now that attacker bonus is counted, not only do you lose…
  • Come on Kabam... first fight in AW.. I don't get touched by my opponent. So I go into the second fight, I don't touch my opponent and they don't get a touch on me either because I'm stuck in the loading screen for 10 MINUTES! When I come back I've lost 50% health off a 5/65 sparky. Thanks... that's his attack bonus gone…
  • Proxima's setup to do that damage is lengthy, you also need to be syncing it with a 100 hit combo. Frankly, if you can get it to that point in the midst of a LoL run, I think you deserve to do 400K damage.
  • I never made that claim. I said making a system that randomly selects crystals in an unbiased manner is not that complicated. Put it this way, in 20 years of software dev, if I had a developer come to me and say they couldn't do it, I would have fired them. I never said to reinvent the wheel and create your own random…
  • You've kind of proven my point. It's not that hard and it is good enough. Relative to the complexities of matching animation key frames to hit detection, dealing with latency from touch input etc etc of the in-game fighting mechanics generating random enough crystal drops is not that hard. Using alternate more complex and…
  • @vinniegainz @DNA3000 I understand that you are talking about pseudo versus true random number generation. My point is that true random number generation usually comes from truly random events like atmospheric noise and radioactive decay. Given the issues that are prevalent in the game, would you think investing in true…
