    I totally agree with @Blackstone

    I also just look at the team to decide whether to attack, and would also be very amused if unbeknown to me, there was someone out there actively seeking me out - would be easy for them, as I don't really bother to shield very much, certainly never more than once per PVP.

    The only thing I would add, is that I do sometimes hit the same person repeatedly because they keep getting offered to me by MPQ's matchmaking system, so there could be someone out there who thinks I have a vendetta against them. Again, I never really look at the names of the people that hit me either.

    I actively avoid hitting forum users if their IGN is the same as the forum name, just in case they think it's personal. If it's a retal, though, they're fair game!

    If I see a name I recognize, I've hit the point where I'm fighting 550s and should consider a short break.

    I find the concept of having a secret identity user name in-game different than out game as completely bizarre and way too much for my old and frankly tired brain cells. Is there a (sane) reason people are doing this?

    I don't think anybody is doing that. Possibly some players had their names changed in-game and didn't create a new forum profile.

    You guys really don't need to worry about this sort of thing. There are a handful of players left that could actually make any impact on anyone by targeting them, and you are not on their radar. They probably couldn't even find you if you were!

    When I first joined the forum I just used my same user name I used on other sites which didn't match my in game name. When they updated the forum it left me unable to login and every time I reached out to have the issue fixed it would lock me out again a day or two later so I just created a new account and used my in game user name.

    I know at least one player who does this but I won't name him! And I don't understand your point about being worried or being on a radar? I am not concerned in any way at all, just confused.

    Cool. Not that it matters or anything, was just a thing that buzzed my brain, people can do as they wish.

    Sorry, that part wasn't specifically directed at you/your comment.

    I get why you guys want to start with yellow, but I found it much better to start with 12 purple AP and stun the whole team which is usually Juggs and Sam. Venom boosted is a nice touch this week for east wins. The opposing team rarely gets a turn.

    When do we expect Moonstone to become favouritable (is that a word)?
    Is it normally after the next 4* release?

    Is it not tomorrow? I thought both her and Bucky will go in packs start of new season?

    I hope so. I don't know if this also unlocks the option to favourite her. I guess I should know this by now, but it's not something I have been too bothered about previously.

    Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner!

    Yes she will be favorite-able tomorrow.

    However, if you’re a true madman and are able to get a dupe going, she won’t be ascendable for a few weeks yet.

    One thing for sure, add Mr Sinister to the list of characters (Strange) that Moonstone can't Winfinite against.

    I tried using her, Namor, 5Winter against the challenge node and forgot Sinister passively adds traps every time you fire a power. I wiped badly against those traps before I figured out what was going on. D'oh!

    Oh god, yeah. I got destroyed in that node the same way.

    I don't think the 2 weeks ascendable deadline is going to be a problem for me - if only!
    However, I did pull for more Sam Wilson this morning and have a bunch of F tier 4* covers (looking at you anti-venom, hulking, etc.) that I would like to swap for Moonstone.

    And related to that, after this morning I also have a couple of 5* covers in my inbox that I can currently exchange for Sam Wilson at a cost of 1000 gold each. Does anyone know when the cost drops to 650 gold - is it tomorrow, as soon as Sam moves out of Latest, or does it align with the ascendable deadline ie in 2 weeks time when my covers will have expired?

    It's a full season before you can ascend, I think. I always forget.

    I like trying to use Krakoa for 2 reasons... or rather, for one over-arching reason that serves two purposes within this build...

    If I have guaranteed AP when I start, that means the team ALSO has guaranteed AP on the start when its on defense. Casting a power can (and will) trigger Mirror Image, removing an enemy tile. And if that's Eros Arrow, or Leapfrog, or anything else annoying... all the better. Its helpful for playing the battle myself, but also guaranteed to be a bit more annoying if my team gets at least one turn on defense.

    Its TOTALLY not something necessary, and 80% for 6 AP is super nice... but I do hate it when you get into a "groove" and the supports dont kick in, slowing your plan down. #firstworldproblems
