It was (and still is) all too common for my E-VII/LVL-50 team (I only have four cards that high... and I've played almost daily since Zod Challenge) to run into someone with E-VII/LVL-50 Shazam, 300 pts of fully evolved gear, and/or one or more unreleased E-VII/LVL-50 Challenge Cards... which is all BULLCRAP!!! It was a LONG grind to get the Red Sons and AO Batman to that level. I try to buy a daily gold booster as often as I can... STILL not a single Shazam!!! The addition of 3-Star gear for completing Nightmare Challenges has taken my desire to play Multiplayer away almost completely. I get better coin returns for grinding regular battles anyhow.
Yeah, MP for me is about the different challenge, and getting gear (the Nightmare reward is really nice, just too infrequent to be used to gear your team, though the Alloy Sword which I presume will come with the upcoming AODS has some very tasty stats), and there are indeed way better ways of earning coins. I've been fielding a basic Red Son team (Supes, Wonder Woman, and Solomon Grundy), to make the most of their passives, only swapping them out for the daily bonus missions. I have been putting a fair bit into gear booster packs recently (even at the expense of the daily 75% Gold), with the thinking that it will in the long run make all other battles easier/quicker, from multiplayer, to challenges, to simply grinding (though as has been said before, building a strong team first is paramount before throwing money into these). I know what you mean about the dodgy MP matching, facing off against a team geared up way beyond what you can reasonably deal with, basically healing themselves of any damage you may have inflicted (though in retrospect I guess that's where you use a power drainer, not that I have one of decent enough strength). I've found recently I've been coming up against Arkham Origins Death Stroke on occasion (didn't think this was possible yet?), which has been really tough, given that his first special (the one that always gets used) always activates his passive making it crit, do stupid damage, and unblockable, so my tried and tested tactic of going straight into and holding a block once an enemy fills their first power bar now does jack. Again, maybe I just need to start leveling a power drainer, but that doesn't always help when they're tagged in with enough power to trigger it...
LOL... So you know what I mean. AOD hasn't even been released yet and I'll bet you saw him as an E-VII/LVL-50. There's just no way someone can field nine pieces of fully evolved four star gear without cheating/hacking... the cost of evolving just one is ASTRONOMICAL!!! No matter what NR does, the hackers always seem to find thier way back in.
Yup, that was it, fully Elite and everything. There's definitely something dodgy when people are playing with as yet unreleased characters, you'd think that would be fairly simple for NR to catch. With regards the gear though, I'm always aware playing these sorts of games that there are folks about who have been playing it both longer, and more frequently than myself, and have no doubt accumulated some hefty piles of moolah in game, so it's not beyond the realms of possibility to have acquired them legitimately. Still, they've got to be keen
Btw, don't know if you've received yours yet, but mine just came through, so, pretty late, but there's still hope
I just got a reward for multiplayer - top 50% and I never played a single game until 2 days ago, sweet I just got Superman prime in a gold pack. I'm sick of Supermans. Should I elite him to E1 or sell?
Each gold card you get increases the size of your deck. The more teams you can field, the longer you can grind without waiting for energy to recharge. Gold cannon fodder is usually better than bronze or silver cause they can eat & deal more damage while your anchors are building power. Superman Prime is a top tier card with good stats. His Special 2 is awesome for setting up an unblocked special from another card. I rank Superman Prime third in the Superman list... 1. Red Son Superman (no brainer) 2. Regime Superman (unblockable Special 2) 3. Superman Prime (freeze attack is NICE) 4. MOS Superman (great passive... when it works. Pair him with power generators for the best bang for your buck). 5. Prison Superman (I think of him as a Bane skin) 2-4 are hard to rank... they are almost interchangeable. It really depends on the rest of your team and your style of play.
OK... let's do a little math. For a player to field an E-VII Red Son Team takes 3.5 million credits. According to WASDuk, it takes about 3.48 MILLION credits to fully evolve three star gear to its full four star glory. Now... To field a team with NINE pieces of fully evolved four star gear would cost, roughly, 31.32 MILLION credits... for a total cost of 34.82 MILLION credits!!! OK... I've been grinding it out, almost daily, for about a year. On a good day (with nothing else to do) I can earn about 300k credits... although I usually average about 150-200k. That's about 104 days (3.48 months) of grinding for gear alone!!! Seeing as 2.0 came out around May... it's not impossible... I would never begrudge a player for having a few pieces of fully evolved gear... but nine is pretty darn near unbelievable. I'm calling a foul. There's roughly 27 pieces of gear (give or take for a few challenge cards)... I'm not even gonna break out the calculator... it's ASTRONOMICAL!!! Now... let's not forget E-VII Shazam(s) with a drop rate as low as Shazam's it would take MILLIONS more to get him to E-VII. An E-VII unreleased card is a dead giveaway... hackers have ruined upper tier Multiplayer.
Oh... I forgot the cost of buying the second and third gear slots for each card... silly me. What's another 180k on top of those millions? LOL
Gear I would like to see They could/should have a two star gear: Orange Ring +5% coins. When evolved to three star the second power would be x1.5 coins. Fully evolved Orange Power Ring +10% x2 coins. I would also like to see gear that would help you get past the XP wall at level 46... perhaps another two star gear: +5% XP. When evolved to three star x1.5 XP. Fully evolved +10% x2 XP. As nice as it would be, NR will never make them since they would discourage in-app purchases.
Still haven't received anything. On top of that now I don't see a 75 k discounted gold booster pack on my store listing, even though it's been more than 24 hrs. Just started playing this game and already feel a little flustered.
I've had problems with the Challenge not showing up (after being active for a few days)... and I've noticed the discount gold booster missing. I've also had problems with gear rewards. If I enter a battle menu and back out to the main menu it usually fixes it. Sometimes I've had to exit the app (and make sure I close it completely from background) and re-start. Have you tried that?
