now i have seen everything

So i was facing jamie madrox (i think thats how you spell it), lady thor/xforce/falcon and he manages to get extra red tiles for every red match he gets on defense. Of course i take out his xforce first, he only managed to have 6-7 red at this point, still high for the short amount of turns and not being many reds on the board, so that raises my suspicions, then he matches 4 red and i see 8 red on his tile update thing. My Hood takes one away, so he unleases smite....so i thought i was probably something i was overlooking, then he matches red again and he had 8 red again, not cascades a simple match, he uses smite again. I had flashbacks of the goons that were feeding juggs red tiles every turn. Unless falcon can now magically feed lady thor reds...

That was my experience, formulate whatever opinions you want, i just know it was utter ****. I managed to win, but was one turn away from another smite. Every red match by him was doubled.

    Why were you going after Xforce first?

    4 Thor's charged tiles collect double AP.

    It works for your matches too

    Dont know, cause he is quicker to get rid of with my own xforce and then i dont have to worry about a surgical xforce wipeout. Works fine 19 out of 20 times.

    That would have been awesome if he wasnt collecting double even before stunning me. And the first double up i specifically remember were not charged tiles because 1) no charged tiles existed, 2) it was an L shape match 5 the ai never makes and made a match 4 of non-charged tiles instead, and i was shaking my head why the ai is so dumb until seeing he doubled his red, the joke was on me.

    Regardless, such is life, this ranks up there with first and second turn abilities by the ai after simple match 3s, and having been stunned and smited many times before, this is the first time seeing double tiles generated on every matched red.

    Because Xforce is more dangerous. and has lower health.
  • Jamie is a total hacker and you should never go up against him. He pulls that **** all the time. I've seen him take over the AI and screw people over. He's kerazy.

    Lesson learned: don't attack Jamie. We're still waiting for D3 to shut him down and his strategeries.

    I heard if Jamie beats you in a PvP match, he can copy all the music from your phone and report you to the FBI if any of it was illegally downloaded. Dude once even hacked a Gibson.

    You're using Hood/Xforce against 4thor/xforce, so employing an AP denial strategy.

    In my opinion, you should be killing 4thor first so your XF surgical strike still collects green after the first toon (4thor) is down, as opposed to getting red you can't use from 4thor if xforce is down first. Obviously you need to be keeping a close eye on the AI AP counts while doing this and denying Xforce his colors.

    Which shouldn't be too hard, since as a xhood team, those are the colors you're trying to get yourself anyway

    It's true. I'm a sup3r h4x0r. I sent one of my dupes to infiltrate the company as a developer and changed the game to always let me win.

    I can see someone getting that to work and it'd be so crazy nobody would believe it.
  • I attacked Jamie Madrox last night and it made me pregnant.

    Did he have charged tiles out, because that easily explains why he was doubling red. Remember charged tiles are worth 3 AP and not 1, so a match 3 with 1 charged tile generates 5 AP, a match 3 with 2 charged generates 7, so if he hit you with a power surge before that's probably where this was coming from.

    I was attacked by Jamie Madrox for 50 points with a team of level 1 Yelena, 1*Hawkeye and Bagman. Worst thing is that it was not PVP, Shield or any other kind of event. Just bam! 50 points off directly from my season score and no way to retaliate.

    Nope the first few matches were not charged the last one before i managed to win was. Hacker, glitch, random anomaly, rotation of the earth, global warming, zombie apocalypse, i dont really care, i just would hope the devs would be able to root out these things like the random 1st and 2nd turn ai ability uses and just fix them. Really annoying to realize you are truly being "cheated," its software, they should be able to fix it or just let me know, random stuff will happen from time to time which can occur after a million iterations of a match and the time to fix these occurences is outweighed by its overall impact.
