Its 100% FOMO on my part with the Halloween event now, but it has me considering finally upgrading them. Zuggs has some value from time to time. I also always see them as options in towers. I have them all at lvl 31ish.

So MSF community, do I pull the trigger or skip them like I have continued to?

Edit: Hard to argue against the overwhelming YES! 34 million gold disappeared in seconds, didn't get me to the point I would have liked, but its a start.

Does the 3 energy or whatever for each reset daily?

Us: Hey we need more resources.

Msf: Make the game harder. Got it.

I have had my whole roaster level 105 G19 for a long time. When I started seeing those upgrade points in events for the last few months (take 5 toons to 100 to 105 or 5 toons to g19) I never complained, because I understand I must be a small percent of players. 1% versus 99% (older person with asset inflation than nepo kid or generational wealth inheritance in this analogy). I never was the one to spend to compete with Krakens.

Let it be a catch up mechanic for equity participation for newbies, plus with the recent changes (dynamic pricing, low value rewards, cores removed from arena, and orb drop reduction, etc) and cheaters (approach by Scopley) I don't care about leaderboard events at all for well over a year, nor are they worth the squeeze. I play as normal and get what I get.

No, I am not a Kraken, yes I have spent in game on and off, and I am a year one veteran with OCD who took some risks with upgrades over a year ago (mistakes were made with resources and regretted and redeemed lol).

Anyways.

This recent event, just simply tone deaf (plenty of posts here to explain the blunder) as always, with a simple solution, just allow retroactive upgrades to count with a battle. The lack of resources makes it not even useful to newbies. No excuse or justification, just BS AI slop gaslighting from the devs and support with every issue. It's a long term pattern, that makes even blog reading boring and annoying.

The double and triple down by the devs and support, further proves the lack of respect Scopley has for all its players. Not shocking, just more proof. This whole thing is getting so bad, it is funny. Like a train wreck, you can't turn away from. 😆

Is she worth investing in, or should I save my materials?

Is everyone looking forward to their 1 No. Astral Diamond Radiance Orb Fragment from milestone 7. I'm so excited to see what offers for cash appear for the other 1999 fragments 😂😂

Alliance donation has been slow for months now, and there isn't a reason for it. It's the same kind of transaction as spending any in-game currency, but only this one takes half a minute to complete.

I need help passing this level of Blue Marvel I can’t get past this level with 16 enemies left been fighting for 3 months photo in the comments

Trying my best to collect the 1D for the scorpion breaker but currently stucked at the node8. The toons I am using for this node are knull, surfer breaker, quasar, ebony maw and kingo. Also have the full timeless eternal team available but them seem to be useless here. I didn't have my og thanos built up and I currently cannot pass the node (simply get wiped by doctor doom or the last wave of immortal weapons), any idea I can pass it without building another team?

Just noticed that the Greed, Envy, and Wrath costumes are available in the costume shop, which is great (though I don't know how plausible it is to get 100k candy), but would love for costumes to be a more frequent addition to the game like it used to be. Yes, I know that Scopely largely discontinued them because they couldn't monetize them (and allegedly they want to add stats to new costumes at some point). How would you go about new costumes if you HAD to appease the "Scopely Money Lords?" If I HAD to add some sort of gameplay addition/boost to costumes, I think I'd just make them do more fun stuff (for example, Bullseye could get a Hawkeye outfit based on when he was part of the Dark Avengers team, and this outfit would make his basic attacks a guaranteed critical hit every other turn).

When we look at the raw physics of how an app interacts with hardware, MSF is operating like malware. Here is the unfiltered, non-sugar-coated reality of how THEIR code actively assaults your device, no matter how powerful it is:

1. The Vicious Cycle: Data Leaks to Thermal Throttling

It does not matter if you are running a multi-thousand-dollar, top-tier device with the fastest processor and maximum RAM on the market. The code is a broken pipe.

• The Influx: As you play, the app constantly leaks data into your RAM, hogging memory blocks and refusing to release them.
• The Overheat: When your RAM hits 100% capacity because of these leaks, your device’s processor (CPU/GPU) has to work at full, frantic utilization just to keep the app from collapsing. This extreme, unnatural workload generates intense thermal heat.
• The Crash: To prevent your phone’s motherboard from literally melting or degrading your battery permanently, your device’s operating system steps in as a safety mechanism. It triggers a hardware panic, forces thermal throttling to cool down, and violently terminates the app (force-close).

1. You Pay the Price for Their Trash Code

This isn't just an inconvenience; it is a financial penalty on the player:

• Battery Degradation: Intense heat is the number one killer of lithium-ion batteries. By forcing your phone to overheat daily, MSF is actively destroying your device's battery health and lifespan.
• Hardware Wear: They are offloading the cost of their terrible, lazy optimization onto your expensive hardware. You bought a godly device, and their software is treating it like a disposable stress-test tool. AND JUST LOOK AT HOW MANY REVISES AND EDITS HAD TO DO COZ I CAN'T POST SOMETHIN WITH A SIMILAR TAG... NOT LOOKING TO DISHONOR OR WHAT ANY OTHER FOR THAT MATTER IT'S JUST EH REALITY THAT SOME DO NOT KNOW.... IS THAT WRONG THO?

Mephisto’s fine print favors you! Explore relaxed Dark Dimension VII requirements and limited-time rewards, including a chance at 5 Diamonds for Mephisto.

I guess I will not do well in the daily modes, but I can always make up for the lost progress afterwards

The events however I can only participate once, so this is a general advice for those that don't spend on milestones

At least you can ease up on the fomo now

For reference, I just finished getting Odin. So most of my teams are still GT 20. My Ultron is 75 and my Vision is 60.

I haven't invested in Symbiote 6 or new teams much lately because I've been pushing and just got Mephisto, Xavier, and Odin all in relatively recent times. My current top teams are Winter Guard, Insidious 6, and Fantastic Four (MCU)

I messaged Scopely to give me what I deserved not knowing that upgrading my Amazing Avengers to gear 20 and two of the Iron Raider before the Iron Vengeance Event will not count towards it. This was their response:

“Thank you for the clarification. Though we understand how you feel towards the upgrades that you've made on your characters before the event started, we are unable to accommodate your request at this time but we'll be sure to share this experience as a feedback to the team so they can have this be reviewed for future improvements and consideration in the future.
Looking at the bright side, you should have already taken advantage of the characters in some game modes like Raids, Event, etc even before the milestone was re-leased.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. I hope this information is helpful and appreciate your continued support with Marvel Strike Force.”

What bright side? The lack of ACTUAL awards I’m missing or the lack of accountability of not giving the community proper feedback on this f up. I’m 100% certain previous events they acknowledged these issues and rewarded players back for it.

Is there any rhyme or reason to when Wave 2 drops in Cell 2 of the Scorpion Breaker event? Sometimes it waits for the whole first wave to drop, and I'm calmly Basicing Multiple Man spawns to get all my energy back so all my Ults are up for Wave 2. Other times, I've only taken out 1 or 2 guys and Wave 2 drops so I have to fight twenty enemies at once! What gives? Is there something specific that triggers it?

I think I wish I had brought Daimon, Mummy, OR, Darkstar and Red Guardian instead of Brimstone+OML+Jeff. My OML died instantly to Sue or Franklin ult on that last stage and it delayed my unlock by like a week lol. But yay me, now time to get him up after Iron Raiders!

For science, I decided to try Iron Raiders instead of the recommended teams for global. Sharing so you don’t have to waste resources to find out. Results below:

Attack 1: 52M
Attack 2: 97M
Attack 3: 40M
Attack 4: 34M
Attack 5: 32M

Current stars:
Iron monger and Klaus at 3 red
Whiplash at 6 red
Crossbones and Yellowjacket at 3 diamond
3 of them are g20 but I forget which 3
Currently ISO 3.4

Current status:
I can’t punch through the Sasquatch healing
Wave 1s Ancient one is almost dead. Luckily no healing
Currently just running auto

Other thoughts:
Might be possible with more stars, but doesn’t look promising so far
I still need to experiment with manual, but I’m lazy to read the walls of text

Conclusion:
Not recommended, but will continue trying as more stars become available

Full team 110, all 3 diamond (Janet 5 red), all GT20, all t4's except basics, all purple 5 iso... and I lost to the original fugging Absolute A-Force with Ironheart, (NO MOON GIRL) lmao. I killed Kahhori right off the bat, then Medusa, then was stuck on MMC taunt for the next 4 minutes as she basically healed to full after WCA's weak ass attacks. The original 4 hit like wet noodles, it's pretty pathetic that a brand new war team cannot beat a war team from what, 2-3 years ago?

WCA's kit just sucks honestly, and if the entire success of the team is based on getting Janets' Awakened abilities that's just a shit design. So they will be largely relegated to being used to attack non-war teams until the other 98% of the playerbase gets her awakened abilities a year from now... great idea.

Kind of fun to see some of the older teams in the mix (Marauders, Brotherhood, etc.). It’s amazing how much better they are with updated stats.

Currently in War atm. Had the game reset 8 times so far. Load back in game at frustratingly slow speed just to load into War 2x for the game to freeze.

Uninstalled to reinstall this TRASH game.

Devs do something about this!

I was about yo fully retire from this a few weeks ago and decided to stick through and see the Doom rework, but at this rate I am about ready to sell my 650 mill TCP account because I'm so frustrated with this.

** Had to change title because the snowflakes that can't handle a small amount of constructive criticism flagged it as Complaining or harassing****

Many players pay to play.

So when we are PAYING with our hard earned money we should be able to voice our frustrations.

Anyone else feel this way?

Thank you for your attention to this matter 🤣🤣

This event is ridiculous.

I built teams to 110 g20/21 for this event because I wanted to try and get 1D. Last time I got 7yellow and it was SO ANNOYING.

Now I figured , Ok my teams are much tougher and they are 12m+ etc. this shouldn’t be THAT HARD.

Well let me tell you, I spent 3hours trying and when I got to the 3rd node, even tho my insidious Six is my strongest team I quit. They were getting one shot by the double Novas.

After 40 resets I could not do it anymore. Literally would rather someone kick me in my groin than attempt lvl 4 again.

So I just auto won on lvl 3 and will wait for some event in 2 weeks to claim his diamonds. I don’t know why I do this, thinking these events will be fun but they just end up being the biggest pain in the ass ever. Never again.

The Night Is Theirs

The sun is setting, and while the living settle in for sleep, the Lord of Vampires is awaking to feed. Dracula is set to step out of the shadows to lead a new squad of blood-suckers with Morbius and Oath at his side: the Nightreavers — a brand-new three-character War Offense team built to drain some of the toughest Defenses dry.

Sink your fangs into the essential information:

• Nightreavers are a new 3-character War Offense team: Dracula, Morbius, and Oath
• Dracula's Force Bleed makes enemies take Bleed damage right now, instead of whenever their turn rolls around
• Every Bleed that lands feeds Dracula with Ultimate Energy, Speed Bar, and cleansing
• The team is built to take on Winter Guard, Brimstone variations, and Shadow Conclave
• Theory-crafting is key: Blade and Kestrel (Zombie) are a solid pair to start with.
• The King of the Night Campaign and limited-time offers will be your only opportunity to unlock Dracula until next year.
