Haha, WOW. You guys are scary. Surely you'd make a mistake eventually? But okay, maybe just some reward for getting a "great run" then. Oh, and Gameloft, PLEASE fix the error where you're running in the CENTER lane on the twisty-turny section of Highline Park, and the Vulture's spinning blades in the SIDE lane kill you. It is not amusing. I think other members have mentioned this before, and it killed me again today when I was nearly 3 million into a run. I ended up spending iso-8 to make sure I'd finish in the top 1000. Please and thank you!
This happens to me too and now I always run on the opposite lane of an obstacle just to be safe or jump over them completely. And yes I also hate the stupid grind for spider girl that ignores our multiplier.
Is anyone seeing the Spider-Girl event portal? It should be live today, but it's definitely not appearing on my game.
Hi all, Been reading the thread daily, but now I've got some time to reply to some back-logged questions. Sorry for the delay (and sorry if they're out of order)! I forget if I answered you on the game forums, but here's some clarification: 1. Yes, the free VIP Portal is a 1 time deal after you unlock it for the first time (after purchasing IAP and then purchasing 5x Premium Portals at full cost). 2. Players should only get 1 free VIP portal (above). If users were getting it more than once then it was a bug and the team is addressing this. 3. Sales and promos can pop-up from time to time. There are rarely "global" sales, so it's common you may see a sale and someone else may not. 4. A purchase over $1. This is something I've discussed with the team. I know they are working to re-organize the inbox in a future update, but I've also brought to their attention the request to sort characters on the My Team page. Yes, this is correct. The fusion system is now a suitable vial sink for players, plus you can really level up your Spideys with huge XP. The sell-off option is just meant for quick and easy discard if you don't want to use fusion, which is why it is a flat 500 vials. Check out the new "sell" feature (mentioned above along with fusion changes). This is a quick way to discard unwanted Spideys. In reference to Spider-Girl (and 2099) - The 2x Power-Up does not impact their ability (start with a 10 combo). The Power-up doubles the default combo (+1), rather than doubling their ability (+10). There is also a known issue where their ability (+10) doesn't count towards the progress rewards. The team is investigating. This was a very small and isolated incident which was dealt with by the team immediately. It only impacted a very small set of users on Android. They've put measures in place to ensure it doesn't happen again. This is an issue the team is aware of. Once they've narrowed down the specific level segment they'll investigate a fix. They are also aware of the bug where Vulture's attacks don't give near-misses. I know this was for an old event/leaderboard, but in the future when it comes to suspected cheaters/hackers it is best to report them to Customer Care and provide any proof you have. Through this process the team can investigate quickly and take action. These cheaters may also be dealt with during the daily sweeps. Hi, can you let me know if you are still experiencing this issue? It is possible for the same goals to appear back to back (random sets), but 4 days straight is a bit odd. If you haven't already please report this to Customer Care. I forwarded this feedback as well. The team is working on contrast improvements within the levels, but the size change is also a good point. Hi, are you by chance in Australia? If so, the team is still investigating this odd issue which is region specific. There were some server-side changes made on Friday, but some users on the official forums mentioned they still could not see any event portals. I hope to have more news soon. It was delayed from the normal release time, but should be available later today. Stay tuned.
Thanks, Kyle! We really appreciate your communication with us. And, just so you know, it's not all gripes! I still love playing the game. Easily my favorite behind-the-back runner of all time! I think we mentioned it back there somewhere, but I have noticed that the colors were tweaked in Oscorp (after the major update), and I haven't had the same issues with Electro or blue vials. I'm also on an iPhone 6, so I have a bit more screen real estate than some. I also appreciate the clarification on the VIP portal. I felt like it had been a long time since I'd gotten one, but that's because I've only been doing half price portals and hoarding ISO-8 for Spider-Girl and Spider-Gwen. Is it only for 5x on the Premium Portal, or 5x across any full price portal?
I agree; thanks for the updates, Kyle! It's good to hear that most of our feedback and issues are being addressed. And yes, I for one think it's a great game, especially with the new content and improvements. I'm sure it'll keep getting refined over time, and I'm glad I got in on the ground floor. Oh! And I finally got three gold dudes in one run today! All within 30 seconds of each other! I couldn't believe it! THE LEGENDS ARE TRUE. I almost killed myself scrambling to reach all three; good times. I had that same set again for the past few days in a row, but I finally got different goals today. I'll let customer service know if it happens again. However, there is a problem with the current event leaderboard that we've seen before, where it seems like everyone is grouped together, not just 5000 players. (Also, 5000, really? That's quite a jump from 1000!) Other users are reporting placing in the 10,000s in the rankings. I got a "great run" for a score of 5.6 million and I'm not even in the top 50; I thought it seemed a little too low.
Check it again, real quick. Mine just updated to reflect the issue. I think this happened like one or two weeks ago, and they just made it so more people get each reward (it's top 9 now, instead of #1, get the 75 ISO-8 and Premium Portal). So, that's good!
It was my first time ranking in th 100-999 bracket and I got the 50 iso reward at 2.7 million, i ended up at probably 600? so my question right now is, whats the minimum amount required to get in that bracket? Got a bit too ambitious and ended up having only 1.9, so uhh... thanks!
So does everyone save their ISO to unlock the 25 ISO portal, or is there something else I should spend this haul on? It doesn't seem like the 75 ISO unlockables are very useful in the longrun...
I get the daily half price portal. Dont buy the ISO unlockables, its just not worth it. If I had a haul (which I really dont, I just about make 12 ISO8 per day) I would wait until there was an event portal for a character I wanted and blow it all on that. HTH
Since they have changed the brackets, it can vary with your geographic location and devices (iOS vs. Android vs. Windows Phone... I think). For me, the minimum score for that bracket has been 3.5 million. I usually shoot for 3.75 - 4 million for insurance points.
One thing I've been thinking about is team structure. Usually what I do is by the time I'm at the 3rd to 4th webhead on my team, I play super conservative and not worry so much about near misses and extending my combo counter. I just want to survive to get to the Great Run limit or as far as I can get. That being said, what I usually do is stack my big scorers up front and my "passive" ability Spideys in the back end. 1 - Bulletproof Spiderman -- because at the beginning, I'm playing more fearlessly and going for near misses and combos. I also know he will die. 2 - Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly) -- similar to above 3 - Scarlet Spider (Kaine) -- I don't have anyone else to be the 3rd. 4 - Ben Reilly -- because I'm not going for combos when I get to him, I really want to extend the combo counter for the rare combos I am going for Other 3/4 string Spideys I've used are Spider Armor (Because of the 30% running bonus... as I'm playing super conservative by that point).
is anyone elses 'Like Father Like Daughter' brackets still screwed? seeing as mine go up to 100000-999999 there's probably 1million of us would be nice to know that what I am actually going to get as a reward.
Yes, buy the daily half price portal (be sure to open the recruit screen so it pops up, but only when you have 12 ISO-8 available). That starts a 24 hour timer, after which you can open the recruit screen to get the discounted offer again (when everything works as it should). I really wish this were on a 22 hour timer like the League of Legends "first win of the day", because it allows you to be kind of flexible about when you claim it. With the current system it slips a little later each day until eventually I end up waiting until the next morning to claim it... Which becomes afternoon soon after, etc. It's a nice bonus so I'm not really complaining, but a 22 hour timer *would* be more gamer friendly. I do have a stash of ISO-8, nearly 800. I've just been saving for the Spider-Girl event portal (and hopefully I'll have some left for the Spider-Gwen portal whenever that comes). I'm pretty annoyed that the event portal hasn't shown up yet: I was hoping to build a max rank Spider-Girl and level her up during the 3x scoring event, but that's going to end soon and still no event portal in sight. :-(
Thanks all. I have 25 ISO, so I'll wait for the daily half. Can you elaborate on the Event Portals? I haven't seen one since I started playing that I'm aware of. I was going VERY casual with the game, not realizing how much depth there was to it. Now that I see how much there is (events, daily challenges, etc) I'm trying to give it more attention.
I expect someone else can explain in more detail, but the way I think it works is this. There are sometimes events that give an 'Event Portal' which is like a premium portal, but gives an increased chance of getting a specific Spiderman, i think the most recent was for a 20% chance at a Battle Damaged Spidey. One of the progression rewards in that event will be a 'free go' as in it wont cost to open it. And I think its normal cost is 25 ISO. For the half price offer, just go into the Recruit screen, and you should be given the popup for it. It only happens once a day, so if you dismiss it you have to wait 24hrs for it to come back. Hope that helps, and didn't confuse further
That is almost 100% accurate. The only wrinkle is that the Event Portal could cost more than 25 ISO-8. When the event was for Superior Spider-Man, the portal cost 50 ISO-8. In some of the events, you will be able to earn an Event Portal. Others, like the current event, are not giving Event Portals. So the Event Portal that should be showing up eventually for Spider-Girl will give you a 20% chance to earn her card, compared to whatever weighted and weird percentage chance you have pulling cards from other portals. Switching topics, I really wish the daily half price draw was more like your first log on after a fixed time. For example, my unlimited mode leaderboard resets at 6pm local time every day. I would love it if right after 6pm everyday was when I got the offer. If I didn't play until 9pm, I would like to get the offer then, but receive it again the next day at 6pm again. If I totally miss a day (6pm-6pm), that's when I should miss the offer.
