Btw, Eph, I don't think CP drop at *all* anymore. I've taken four missions from one star to five since this whole thing started and haven't had a single CP drop off on a crit even once.

Yeah, I haven't noticed any CP crit drops either. Lame.

So, anybody tempted to do that Chase Bank 400 gold for signing up for a credit card reward? hahaha. Sitting pretty at 44 CP tonight. Feeling better about this.
Also, may or may not be obsessed with making Emma Frost happen.

So f**ked off. Halfway through my battle with Karima, and browser refreshes. Great. That's another 20 ISO-8 lost. FFS.

I can't freakin' stand that. I guess the reason they don't give you those back when it auto-refreshes is because they expect that folks will just close out and refresh when they're about to lose so they don't lose that energy. :/
The quest for CP continues. Sitting at 62 CP now. Got like 450K on Mission 4.2 to hit five stars and that should leave me at 67. If I hit 90 by Wednesday, I'll have ten days to finish my three-starring and work up the ISOs for all the damn deploys to get Mystique to show up.

Finally got Emma...Glad I got her, and glad I got the Scarlet Witch along the way, she's great too.
Feel kinda bad that i've stopped using Jean most of the time, and now use Emma Frost all the time. Not like anyone's done that before...
Oh, wait...Damn Cyclops

Between the CP drops being limited and the damn server refreshes, I'm just angry. It's doable as I just have to get Wanda now, but it's not the point. Needing ISO for the research seems a bit much!

I'm doing the final mission. If I hadn't screwed up so badly in the beginning, I'd easily be done now. Oh well. It's gonna take me probably two or three days to get all the ISOs I need to finish this last playthrough, but I should be able to do it.

Frustrated. Any tips for beating Omega Sentinel? She just trashed me and my team and I don't wanna waste another 20 ISO-8s without a new strategy.

I've kind of stopped playing this game.
I was already approaching another burnout phase when this special op started. I know I'm not going to get enough CP to get both Wanda and Jean before it's over, so I'm just not bothering.

I got Emma Frost today! Ah, she's so awesome! Now I just need to level the ol' girl up... of course I decided to level up Daredevil right before I got her and he takes 18 hours. It was either cancel and lose 100,000 silver or leave her at level 1 until tomorrow, so I canceled.
I managed to save a ton of ISOs by skipping the sub bosses and fighting them all together. Juggernaut, Toad, and a couple of something Betas was surprisingly easy with Emma and Wanda. Wanda hexes them, Emma gives them mental anguish, and they kill themselves in a couple of turns.

86 Command Points! Just gotta kick Vapor's ass a few more times, finish three-starring mission three, and I'm on my way to a diamond-studded success.

Still loving this game but it's becoming a bummer that like many of the FB games with all the updates and as time goes on it becomes harder to do a lot of stuff if you don't spend outside money or join things to get the gold and such. Gonna have to ramp up my flights for money me thinks.

Made it to Task #24. Need another 30 CP for Wanda to complete Task #25... clock is ticking. The Gift Limit and system errors are killing me! It ate 20 ISOs last night.

Anyone got Rogue yet? She's fun, fairly powerful, and her health/energy stealing power sure comes in handy

Yeah, I got her too. I only have her at level 3, but she's really cool. Did anybody else see they changed a few things?
Emma got nerfed, which I knew was coming. Her Psychic Tap only leaves Mental Anguish for one turn and once it's activated, it goes away. No more killing bosses in one round anymore. But they also fixed the bugs so that it works properly and bypasses shield effects. No more Cap blocking mental attacks with his damn shield! Also, psychic attacks no longer affect robots, which makes sense.
Colossus, Mr Fantastic, and Mockingbird got new passives. Colossus has psychic defense, Reed has an elastic boost that helps him dodge non energy attacks, and Mockingbird now has an auto 50% chance of getting an extra turn every time she changes class. Also, get this, her level 1 attack now has a chance to cause a random debuff. Suddenly she's worth using again.

Managed to get Emma Frost so I am a happy bunny. I had to spend some of my gold on the final tasks like getting the 5-star mastery but I did beat Mystique....who was rather hard.
Also got Rogue. She looks like she has some cool powers. I am glad they start her off as a generalist with the ability to absorb another characters class. Now I have to save my CP points for the next hero whoever that may be.

Got Rogue too. She's a really cool character so far. Not that powerful but I love her energy drain. Bring on more X-Folks.

I love the way they're introducing X-characters, but I'd dig seeing the Vision, one of the longest-term Avengers, showing up.

Vision could be fun. I'd like Gambit and Psylocke. Maybe some of the younger characters too. Also, some from other X-Lines - X-Factor etc. Multiple Man and M could be good

Hmm.... Maybe a playable version of Shapandar? Or one of the new-ish students.

Also, I think they expanded it like two days yesterday, so folks who thought they just might be on the edge, they snuck in two more days for you.
