FTH Beyond: Marvel Strike Force

This week, Kurtstable (the Stable-est of them all) fly's solo.  One on none.  All by his lonesome.  A lone gunman. The Tom Hanks in that Castaway movie or The Mark Watney or The Robinson Crusoe of Podcasts. This week there is 100% fewer McFall and Klotz. He's alone, I tell you! Well, I guess you could count the chatroom over at Twitch.  But we don't hear them!  We have no concrete PROOF that they exist.  We have to assume that Kurtstable hasn't just made them up in his solitude-induced delirium.

Kurtstable plays the game and covers a bit of breaking news while discussing a few team configs and also answering questions from the Twitch Chat. (Which I'm still not 100% convinced is real)

Gameplay this Week

Kurt takes a break from the show this week, Events!  Foxnext gets cash from McFall for Cap, (along with a few stars for some other characters), Charles does a bit of Blitz-Bragging, Klotz changes a team or two, GSTU Alliances experience a shuffle (trying to keep the game fun for a few of our players),  1-6 is kicking everyone's ass (do you need Strange to get past here?), "Drop rates" seem to have improved lately, When do we use our Blitz tickets?  Klotz wonders do you have to spend money to be the best-of-the-best?  Rewards vs Effort applied...  Should Foxnext have handled the changes in Log-in differently?   Klotz discusses what changes might get him to step up his play (be less grind-y),  Charles discusses the difference of gameplay in Beta vs Global,  He likes the recent changes but a few events seem more like distractions than anything else, prefers to just laser-focus on a goal without having to farm characters to prep for upcoming events,  Is the game Too Grind-y?

On this Rock-God-Less episode of FHTB Kurtstable breaks down what's going on this week in Marvel Strike Force. Cosmetic and Balance changes as well as the Scarlet Witch event.

Fight 10 Doctor Stranges! Over and Over again.

Is this the new way to introduce characters?  Kurt has a great Premium pull and gets Cable!  Wishing for the ability to choose costumes for our characters. We take a look at Scarlet Witch and her abilities. Lots of piercing. So piercing. Can she stand in for Dr. Strange? Mystic team?  Alliances are wrecked this week.  There has been a bit of Alliance shuffle here at FTHB.  We talk about the changes in Alliance management and structure in the game over time. More gold is turning up in the game.

 

Gameplay

* Scarlet Witch Event

* Gamora Blitz

* New Raids

* The Return of Thanos Raids

* We hate the 2hr Deadpool Raid

* Alliance Management

* More gold?

Another Fine Podcast on the Giant Size Team Up Network

Hosts: McFall * Kurtstable * Khasino

Support the show by joining our Patreon OR/AND leave us a 5-star review on iTunes!

We talk a bit about who got Wasp,  (none of us) and suspect that maybe we weren't supposed to get Wasp (unless you spend some cash maybe?) Kurtstable makes a good point that given enough time, you should be able to earn any character you're willing to work hard enough to get. The guys note a change in gameplay and wonder if there's been a fundamental change in the games underlying mechanic?

Khasino fills us in on his trip to Foxnext... What it was like visiting and speaking with the team plus info on the four new characters coming to the game and new Legendary Events. Data mining uncovers a Venom design. Alliance Wars looks like it will include Helicarrier on Helicarrier combat. Khasino tells us the few details he's been given. Orange Ability Materials: more available and more evenly distributed.  Huge Buffs on the way along with a Mystic Team.  Possible buffs for Shield agents.

Khasino backs up Charles' Hulk-Love  (He works best as a Bruiser and not a Tank) Hulk speedup is in the future.

Khasino gives us his thoughts on the 2 hour Deadpool Raid

Tip of the Week

We talk minions and how to compensate when you don't have Black Widow and which minions can stand in for Heroes.

Gameplay

* SHARD-MERGE!

* Deadpool weekend!

* Four new Characters!

* Marvel Rising!

* Alliance Wars Datamine!

* Goldgate!

* Mystic Team!

* Shield Agent Buffs!

Gameplay this week

We start edging into the +60 levels...  getting up to 65 is going to be a chore.  -  Spideyman returning to the top level teams?  -   Wasp event underway... Charles is loving her abilities  -  Should you climb through "easy" and "medium"  before "Hard"?  Which way gets more character shards?  -   We like the Ant-man/Wasp team up mechanic a lot  -  Kurt takes a few characters to Tier 11 and is having fun with the results  -  Klotz now has a phone that will play the game and comments on how badly it sucked to play Strike Force on Desktop!  -  Charles says, "Hulk!  Hulk, dammit. HULK!!!!!"  -   Quake, nerfed?  Say it isn't so!

Tip of the week

Work on team strength instead of climbing levels.
