Aku has gone too far this time!

Basic reskins, grindy titles, grindy loot boxes, multiple premium bundles, and not much else for Anniversary, Aku's evil does not know any end.

Is it worth leaving a agency to join another?

Back when I started the game again at S15, I joined a agency that seemed to have a high enough rank, but at the moment, it seems most of the players is inactive, and while a few of us are active, I'm not sure if it's worth sticking around (Our agency rank is hanging around the 2k mark atm).

I've been invited to a few different agencies but stayed with my current one through S15 + S16. Now I'm feeling a bit conflicted about leaving to a more active one.

Update: I just realised out of nowhere, I have a silver flag on my name in the agency, and I can activate XP boost. What's going on?

Grinding through the slog that is Area Control Battle

I just LOVE getting AI teammates who aren't properly programmed for the mode and proceed to do anything but capture the points, meanwhile our opponents is a full team running the most broken characters in the mode!

No no, I don’t want a debate about it. If you aren’t round here in 20 minutes with my door, I shall insert a large garden gnome in you…

G’day!

One great Venom skin, it's all I ask...

Legitimately getting tired of how lackluster Venom's skins are in this game, especially as a Venom lord. The amount of cool, alternative Venom looks that's throughout his history, and we still keep getting his comic costumes butchered.

Agent Venom is lackluster. Lingering Imprint is cool as a skin in of itself, but not what it's claiming to be in the comics, the War of the Realms skin opted for the Eddie look that appears even less than the Venom look in the comic, and just looks goofy in game.

The captain skin is close to being cool but Venom's exposed head looks so weird in it, Candy is funny as a novelty and total goofball outfit, but not if you want a serious Venom skin, and Phoenix Force was close but messed it up by making him look like a chicken.

I don't know man, it should be such a slam dunk to make sick Venom designs and they keep fumbling him. His winter outfit still being far and away his coolest costume nearly two years after launch is a sad state of affairs. That or recolours. Even then, the recolours that could reference stuff is never done outside the closed beta skin.

King in Black, Ultimate Venom, hell, even 90s Animated Venom, which SHOULD be doable given Spidey 2 was able to add a filter to the classic black suit to make it look like the 90s show, if going the recolour route.

Even then, they could be Mac Gargan Venom, Superior Venom, or my personal most wanted - Spider's Shadow Venom.

I don't know man, just tired of Venom just seemingly being stuck in the mid skins camp.

Is this an alright AAM build for now?

I pitied him last season but didn't get any of his costumes. According to the recommended tunings, you can apparently get away with hero costume, so wondering if this should be fine?

u/TempoBlues20XX — 7 days ago

Was absolutely broke in terms of slot keys after using the last remains I had to unlock AFO's fancy outfit set, which meant I couldn't unlock a few characters I had gotten but didn't have proper TUNINGs for them. One event later, I've got all the slots open on OFA Deku's final battle outfit, and just have one slot left to open on Tokoyami's casual outfit.

Completely forgot the event was starting this week and I'm beyond thankful it did.

Really been noticing it since last season. I'd normally stockpile a heap of free currency for whatever the hero drop was, so I could grab their free skin, an emote, a highlight intro, etc. I know it's been done away with, but with six characters releasing in the last two seasons, it's felt a lot more notable how plain the cosmetic options are unless you shell out.

Sierra has one costume and it's locked behind Ultimate BP. Domina has one costume and intro locked behind the Valentine's Day shop, and god knows when it'll be added back to store/loot boxes. Anran's got a few good ones with her Crimson Court and New Year's skins, but again - store limited. Jet Pack's costumes are locked behind intro packs, and several of the heroes are extremely limited with emotes/intros.

I know it's no small feat dropping heroes consistently, especially with six heroes the last few months, but man do I miss just being able to have a decent selection of stuff I could grab if a new hero took my fancy. It sucks a little to really be considering maining Domina, or Sierra, and being stuck with the basic cosmetics for emotes and such.

Wouldn't mind as much, but they aren't even doing what OW2 did where they'd usually at least guarantee the Battle Pass contains a few goodies for a new hero, like Kiriko's robot skin, or Ram's Neptune skin. Last season at least had one for Emre, but having absolutely nothing this season for any new characters, outside Sierra's being behind the Ultimate Pass is lame, especially with how weak the theming of S2's BP is to begin with.

Just kind of a funny observation watching some of Rhyme and co's older summon content. I remember how utterly tedious it used to be seeing like 30 stones and going through single summons that almost always amounted to a full video of Rs/SRs. It was such a big deal when the content creators back then finally transitioned to at least doing multi-summons not to pad the videos out to an ungodly degree.

Just goes to show how starved Dokkan content was back then when 50 stones in one video was considered a good enough big deal before Dokkan became enough of a thing where people invested a lot of stones into it. Bonus points if you sit through friend summons with people believing this would legit alter the rates.

Legitimately baffled how badly they screwed the pooch on the post launch content. They spent so so long hyping up the first season's character, especially after that disaster of a launch. A fan favourite, deep history.

Who do they reveal but none of than - Norman Osborne! Who cares if it completely shits on the iconic ending of Spider-Man: Ryker City where Green Goblin died in his arms, gotta shove him back in there somewhere!!

But even worse was how they completely ruined the character with his weird quips and the voice change was a gigantic downgrade compared to Mark Hamil.

Then they go for a big hitter with Season 2. Alright, it's weird to do Doc Ock again, especially after his tragic ending in Ryker Knight where he and Anna Maria went off to spend the little time they had left together. But then they just reveal it's yet *another* alternative reality version of the character who has a different backstory, history, and personality. Just shouldn't have bothered at that point.

Then there was Polaris. Imagine bringing in Magneto's random daughter as the next big villain and she's just so quirky and quippy guys!!

Oh but then there was the last season, finally a big deal - Frank Castle HIMSELF making an appearance after his fight against Spidey in Ryker Knight, except oops! We wasted all our budget and now we can only afford a sideshow end cutscene for showing the Avengers being resurrected!

Absolute joke, I am beyond thankful DC would never do such a utterly gobsmackingly idiotic thing.

I got enough souls for a hero ticket. I already got the Nejire that gets added next season via a roll, and I grabbed Present Mic, leaving the viable picks as Machine Gun Bakugo, Strike Denki, Assault Kiri, and whichever styles get added to tickets next season.

Bakugo's tuning seems to be a good one while Denki seems strong in general, which should I get?

Haven't had the chance to play Ram in Stadium yet, so I can only hope they give him enough upgrades to be viable, and deal with the damn cat when he gets added.
