    Does someone actually now if we're gonna get a buff event? or when will they cease Superior Spiderman's portal? Opened the portal 3 times, and you know what came out? I needed a scarlet spider ben reilly for the story, they gave me one. I needed a spider girs for the story? They gave me one as well, yesterday they gave me a bulletproof which I dont need. So again, does anyone know when the portal will end?

    It's not meant that way. Honestly, I've tried to get this resolved through the same options a customer has. I feel pulling contacts isn't fair since the average player can't do that to get their problem fixed. Now, I can't verify other people's accounts first-hand, but I do know *I* haven't been up to anything fishy, so if my account gets banned, then I know something's up, and that might be worth putting the word out on, since this does involve premium currency disappearing, which is pretty much the worst possible glitch you can have, and something people should be warned about before they put money into it the way I did.

    If I wanted my problem personally fixed, I probably could have done so by now, as you say. But I don't want *my* problem fixed, I want *the* problem fixed, you know? Not everyone's got a direct line to people above the customer service crew.

    edit: That said, you're right, the way I worded it looks pretty bad. I guess I'll try to reword that post.

    edit 2: Not happy with my attempts to reword it. That means it was probably a garbage post to start with. I'm removing it and I apologize for any connotations it carried.

    I agree that *the* problem really needs to be fixed. In the next big update, it would be cool if Gameloft did a Jubilee Day of sorts; basically unbanning all accounts and resetting negative ISO-8 balances. If the negative balance is going to continue to be a thing, maybe implementing a way to show it as -20 and not just 0 for who knows how long.

    I want to see new content just as bad as anyone, probably more than most even. But I can live with another eternal event if it gives time to get some bugs squashed. This game, as amazing as it is, has quite a few.

    Ah, I get you now.
    That makes perfect sense to me now.

    I think I was just more surprised because I find both you're articles and forum posts to be perfectly balanced and the epitomy of reason and it just seemed out of character from someone whose opinion and attitude I'd respect as I interpreted the post.

    The way you explained it there is perfectly balanced and in character to what I'd expect from you normally, (ie, fairness and balance).
    So very fair, bit of misinterpretation there on my part also as I get what you mean now and it has merit. I do also sometimes forget that not everybody has the same means available.

    Thanks for clearing that, I appreciate it.

    A couple of things are out of date on this, but it still might help you out:

    Okay yeah, the event portal seems to be working fine. I got Superior Spider-Man on my free pull from the progress reward, and then three more out of another seven pulls. So, 4 for 8; definitely happy with that! (We'll just ignore that unlucky first day.) I'll wait and see if I can hang on to the top 5 in the event to get a fifth. Oh, and one of my other pulls was the last FF Spidey I needed to max-rank my epic, so that's cool too.

    Haha, wow, yeah that's just ridiculous. What are you going to do with the 6th one? Maybe you can keep going and get two to max rank. :p

    Yeah, I have no idea what's going on with the events in terms of the new cards. We never had any portal or progress reward for Spider-Gwen. Now Superior gets an event, but it buffs new Last Stand cards that are only available in a separate portal? That just doesn't make sense. I love all the new characters that Gameloft is adding, but the way they're being made (un)available is a little strange.

    WHAT?! Buff event for last stand?! Seriously?! Not Superior? Heck with this. Any idea how long Superior Spiderman's portal is gonna last? So at least I know when I'll spend all of my iso-8 by then

    Crap this. At least if they give out the buff event for Superior later on, I guess I can earn more Iso-8 for when he comes again in the buff event. But then again, does the event portal come back to tie in with buff events in the past?

    Yeah, I would recommend just spending your iso-8 on the Superior portal. 20% chance at him and it's the same price as the other portals. Event portals usually last a day or so after the event ends, if I recall. I have no idea if he'll get his own buff event in the future, but now's probably the best chance to get him.

    I wonder if anyone is actually spending iso-8 on the Last Stand portal? I can't see those cards being useful, and it's way easier to try the Superior portal directly than to try to get Last Stand cards to increase your multiplier and maybe get into the top 5. Again, the way Gameloft is organizing events and portals recently doesn't make much sense.

    It's awesome that the Superior portal is still only 25 iso-8, though! Definitely can't complain about that; probably the best deal in the game so far.

    Gameloft_kyle in the official gameloft forums did say that Gwen and Superior are gonna have their own buff events as they did not change how things worked before, its just that the time constraint affected it added by the fact that they are also releasing the voted Spiderman on the next event so im guessing we'll probably get Gwen in a buff event next week, and superior will be back around 1 1/2 week.

    And Im guessing they'll be doing these with all the other legends too. 50 iso was pretty steep for an event portal.

    This is good stuff. At first I was like heck with this when the event will last for 4 days. Then I pressed voila, all the voted spideys are there. Great Move GAMELOFT, thanks!

    Wait, did they unintentionally release all the events at once or is it just me?

    GREAT. Now the other events are gone. And what we have here, Assassin Spiderman. And guess what, you have to defeat 480 enemies. Easy? Yes, in every run you can score 50+ enemies and guess what? you got 4 days and 20 hours. yay. Like daheck with this, the Superior Spiderman was a boss event and it was only for 2 days by the least. What the heck.

    Does Assassin Spider-Man look almost identical to Superior Spider-Man?

    So, I've reached the point where I'm hitting the 50-ISO bronze tier every day in Unlimited, with a current high score of 4.5 mil. I could go higher, but have been intentionally killing myself right after topping my best to keep getting the extra 3 ISO.

    With legendaries starting to show up in the silver tier I'm wondering if it's worth dropping the 3-ISO gain to start pushing for top 100.

    My 2 questions are:

    1. for those who have gotten a Great Run on Unlimited mode, what is the final total distance? It varies in other events. I'm hitting 4.5 million around 38,000-40,000 meters (x41 multi) and I'd like to extrapolate that score based on how much distance I have left to work with when I decide to Great Run it.

    2. In my daily bracket, 50th place is just under 8 million, but I can't see 100th. What's the usual min to guarantee a silver?

    If I think I can pull it off I might abandon the 3-ISO train, but don't want to jack up my high score if my best run won't break the plane!

    It's usually 50,000 across all modes, but I went to about 57,000 on unlimited mode 2ish days ago. I think it slightly changes every day based on... reasons.

    That same 2 days ago, I hit 7.6 million thinking that would surely get me a silver. It did not. I'm in the US, and we have reports of different thresholds in different regions, so I don't know. I didn't check where I was at close enough to the end to see how far below 100 I had dropped. Then I decided it's just as well that I get ISO-8, because I can do whatever I want with it.

    Thanks! Doubt I'm going to do much better than 7 mil-ish with my current lineup with those variables in mind. Prob stick to farming 50ISO then.

    I don't mind the ISO either, but a guaranteed legendary would save me a ton of ISO trying to pull them from portals. My luck on the Superior portal has been.... less than superior. 1 for 9 so far. I'll get one for placement tonight, but then he'll prob sit at 4 stars for another month or so.
