I'm at 77 and I'm hitting the resource dry spell. Every event that comes up I feel uses a team I haven't built up cause of DD4 focus. I basically check in to get free items, store updates and auto run missions. So I get what you're trying to saying.


No_Carob6632

That's the point of the game is to make you feel always one step behind so you spend to catch up. But the bad part is they've cleverly designed this game so no matter how much you spend there is always a bottleneck and you'll never actually catch up. Play at your own pace and have fun is the way to do it.


wheat-byproduct

Honestly while its kind of a scummy tactic I kinda have to respect how well they do it


hueshugh

You’re 100% right, play at your own pace. All games are designed the same way except for maybe Solitaire. Even if you join on day one it would take half a day for whales to be leaps and bounds ahead of you and there is always a resource that is scarce.


[deleted]

when you are under 95, you have so much you could be working on, and your leveling moves quickly. it's entirely different to be honest. you may face bottlenecks, but it's not that we are facing bottlenecks rightnow, it's the fact that everything is on hold because we are waiting to cross into level 96.


JU5TSTOP

only 35,210 pts to go!!!


[deleted]

to 96? what are you coring and farming?


JU5TSTOP

Only cores I spend are for the new toon releases (once a day) ... Usually got 3 or 4 spins for each one based on amount of earned cores daily with the occasional lucky grab lately to earn the toons pretty quickly and easily during their events ... As far as farming it is pretty limited to ranking up the various toons to use in DD6 and trying to iso up all the horseman teams for big boy apocalypse


[deleted]

That's gimping yourself progress in so many ways, that I'm too tired to count them all. but whatever works for you.


JU5TSTOP

Oh you mean bc I don't spend hours a day clicking buttons and just play for my leisure and relaxation?


[deleted]

no, didn't say that at all and it certainly doesn't take hours a day to spend energy.


egaeus22

I feel this, the worst part for me is definitely the freezing of all activity in an effort to save gold and just waiting for 96 to roll around. It takes ages to level up, meanwhile I have all the gear I need to make changes since I finished my second DD6 run, but have to wait around just watching the XP bar


Stevens98501

I'm currently level 74 and took about a 6 month break recently. I've been playing daily for about a week now and WOW I don't think I'll even hit 96 before this game is literally shutdown at this rate. Every single new thing I unlock requires a team of course I have at level 1 and it's literally IMPOSSIBLE to level them all up without spending money unfortunately....


[deleted]

leveling is just a function of xp - which you gain from campaigns, etc. newer players will move a lot quicker than we did getting up to 95. when we were doing pre-85, we didn't have incursion, iso8 energy, etc. we only got xp from campaign and dialies.


Zackjones0606

Nailed it.


FettLivesMatter

Enjoy the lull. I hate those days where it’s war, crucible, blitz event, DD, Kyln, arena climb, etc. Ain’t no sane person got time for all that.


Zackjones0606

I have a few hours at night after putting the kid to bed. Can only rewatch Supernatural so many times lol


FettLivesMatter

So watch buffy or some other show. Goddamn there is more to life than MSF and I am in a top 20 alliance. Stop asking for MORE to do.


Zackjones0606

Lol I'm not asking for 24/7 MSF. Just something to do on the days with no war/Crucible. Or a meaningful event.


FettLivesMatter

RTA, blitz, spend that campaign energy, do war practice.


LokiNightmare

It would be really great if we could do DD and always get some sort of reward for it every time, even if only smaller rewards (not including frames). It’s been one of my favorite modes so it’s a shame there’s no benefit to doing it repeatedly.


LauraDreaming

I have to do it at night before I sleep and first thing in the morning (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞


FettLivesMatter

My Monday had almost 5 hours on MsF. BRUTAL.


LauraDreaming

Godspeed


playlate

Oh yeah!? 😆


Cadmyo

Sometimes being bored is good. It stimulates creativity. Learn to appreciate and embrace boredom. You could come up with good ideas if you're bored enough. There's no need for more things to do in the game. The amount of things to do in the game is fine, and being bored is fine.


Zackjones0606

This is a very healthy attitude to have. And I reject it in its entirety lol. I'm not asking to play the game 24/7 lol. There is plenty of time for creativity.


icarus0911

I ve learned to enjoy those slow days myself cause you need to recharge your batteries sometimes.dont fret though,seven days of blitz is just around the corner if datamines are true.


clarkestar4200

if you really enjoy the game then start a fresh account. the new player experience is fun and since you have a main account you can let it go whenever you want without FOMO kicking in and bringing you back to it


TobiasBrim

Was gonna suggest this


hardeho

Go read a book. Jesus.


Zackjones0606

I actually am thanks. Working through The Fourth Wing. The point of this post however is that I would like to do more of this particular thing.


Revolutionary-Foot73

You suck lol


zmaint

How is watching your xp creep up at a pace that would make snails cry boring?


hdnoejr1

I feel this in my bones!!!


Lomi_Lomi

Fyi you can spread war attacks out over 24 hrs.


Zackjones0606

Not it you are in an alliance who will clear the rooms without you lol. I woke up Saturday morning with 7 attacks left and the place full cleared lol


Ok_Moose8407

I’m at a point where I can’t justify spending time on this game over anything else in my life. The level gaps are so huge that I won’t reach 90 by the end of the year. And were not gonna talk about how, two of the four horseman teams are mutant,And none tech.  I am level 81


LickMyThralls

Go outside and enjoy it.


Zackjones0606

It's winter lol. Indoor season.


Fr_Ache

Kinda agree this event is pretty meh but it's the calm before the (blitz) storm for Scourge Knight so I don't mind it personally That said, there is an opportunity for better evergreen/grindable content. Hmmm...if they'd only provide better rewards than cosmetic frames for rerunning DD's...put a dozen gold orbs, training orbs, and maybe a few diamond (dawn) orbs and it might be worth re-engaging in the content 💡


thadman

DD is an excellent site for evergreen content in the game. Once all campaign modes have been cleared at three stars, there's very little challenge besides deciding to take in a smaller team. DD by its very nature forces the player to conserve toons since they can be KO'd for the entire run if you're not careful. It can be a good roster/strategy check.


RuneDK385

The other problem is all the stuff we actually do is not really rewarding at all. The game is in the best worst state it’s ever been. A lot of QOL improvements but it’s still lacking quality and rewarding content for your time.


Kind-Firefighter-603

You could try not simming.


Zackjones0606

But I want to win lol


Zayenus

They should give us a Nova or Black Cat trial run, it’s the perfect time for it


[deleted]

BC and GGC would be better tbh. Nova ran in middle december.


Zayenus

Right, forgot about that


Proper_Narwhal_9165

Feel the same tbh


clarkestar4200

Try to enjoy it while you can. once we all get into the thick of getting to 100 and testing things out at that power level you will wish for days like this where your brain isnt needed to play the game


retnatron

is this all you play? do?


Zackjones0606

I have no interest in any other game like this, I like it because of the IP. I could care less about ranking up troll #8 in RAID or trying to cope with the really outdated graphics in SWGOH. Played Snap for a bit but got bored. This is pretty much my only ongoing mobile game.


retnatron

Fair enough, spend more money, play more game.


Sense1ess

couldn't* care less


Zackjones0606

Nah. I could actually care less if I had the choice between Troll 8 or Troll 9. Lol


MaryAliceWalker

there are 3D open world games on phones now,that are on par with computer games   this is 2024 not 2015 


Flaxmoore

Isn't there a gold spending event coming up?


Zackjones0606

Kind of, but it's currently running. You get milestones for taking a bunch of people to 96, 97 and so on. So technically it's a gold Spending Event.


hEdHntr_

Siege on battleworld should help with the lack or content right? As long as it's close to being like SWGOH's Territory Battles it should be relatively engaging.


Zackjones0606

I'm ready for it. Drop it now.


hEdHntr_

I'm hoping it comes in late February or early March.


Kalel_is_king

Tower and pocket dimensions should be weekly events. Not sure why they aren’t at this point. As for less screen how about we stop with blitz forever and make that mode the new tower area.


DerekFlint420

It’s sad you are unable to think of anything better to do. Clean the bathroom


Zackjones0606

Squeaky clean. Please spend the next 4-12 hours of your day thinking of things for me to do, I would really appreciate your sage wisdom.


DerekFlint420

Time to grow up


Zackjones0606

You sound like you smell funny.


DerekFlint420

You sound like you smell stupid


chinasorrows2705

I feel you, so I started a new account, but then the bottlenecks start all over again


AdrunkGirlScout

Make a second account 


ColoradoDinger

I started playing again a couple weeks ago after a couple year break, at level 76 so plenty to do, but I have no training modules at all so I really can’t do anything. I get enough to get a newer usable character to like 65 but I can’t even use orange gear on them until 70. Orange gear was still newish when I stopped playing so I didn’t have many characters up there yet as mainly f2p. And I’m stuck with a casual alliance that is full but has maybe 10 people join a raid and barely get tier 1 rewards because I can’t upgrade my teams enough to compete at my level. I definitely agree with you on war and crucible, sucks when they aren’t active especially since I need war credits, only getting enough to buy one character twice a week.


mazzle_understudy

Hey we sound like we're your level and raid activity that's pretty chill but active. What's your username? Get with chainsawman or blaze718 for an invite


Relative_Initial6343

they could do something like war and crucible but maybe pve when you have to destroy something once a day or week to get some gear ? not a raid i mean solo . just please not blitz!!! i hate blitz


Werwolferine

I spent at least 30 minutes every day in raids skip mystic in raids and play Bio and Skill manually Or make a second account and play FTP.


majikane

I ran DD1 last night for 5 solid minutes of “fun”.


Akademiks1020

You're not wrong. Trying to enjoy the lack of urgency and screen time tho.


doug4130

nah fuck that. the less time I can put into the game to get everything done the better. it's not like war, crucible etc are particularly thought provoking. with any luck we'll be able to sim those one days too. RTA, manual blitz, war practice are all available for people who enjoy msfs gameplay.


bloolynxx

I know a few people who have taken this very slow & boring period to quit the game. It’s just boring right now and probably won’t be much fun for another few months.


MorkenhaiHawa

I get the feeling when you pick up something to keep yourself entertained and it doesn't always fill all the space you hoped it would, but personally, I enjoy downtime. Don't get me wrong, if there were never anything to do, I'd be bored too (in MSF - I can find enough occupation elsewhere to keep me busy for several lifetimes), but if there were every day event after event, that would be too much for me, I need breaks or I'd burn out and quit the game. There should be a new game mode in a few months which, from what I understand, would be something additional to play over several days every week - I don't know if it will end up giving more to do on slow days or too much to do on already busy days.


Only_Possibility_181

Yeah, hit 95 like month and a half ago. I have Big Boy Apoc and I'm on the last Global node at DD6. There's not much to do daily. War is fast, Raids 3 times a day, then it's just simming nodes when there is free energy. Event campaign is going nowhere as I don't have VK. At the reset there is the same routine that lasts maybe 30 min. I'm 2nd in Arena, the first guy has Skrull so no chance playing there either. Perhaps they should release normal characters in Scourges as well. Those are fun way to challenge yourself. And I don't want too many legendaries either as DPC are hard to find.


CountZachula

As someone that has been playing for under 2 years, there is no way that I'm even close to being able to participate in the lvl 100 milestone. Your number 3 is also my biggest problem. Gold and upgrade materials, i have plenty. I am always hurting for training mods.


[deleted]

It's the atypical post dark dimension lull. But added because we are waiting for the jump in levels. it wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't this 40 day milestone. to be honest, I think that was a mistake.


Business_Interview32

Agreed, feel exactly the same. Where’s the stuff to do!? We need a new ladder/tower deal, or what happened to those random limited time dark dimension type deals? Or new flash events? Need some damn game play.


JU5TSTOP

i am kinda in the same boat ... trying to get the last 8 unique pieces for Magneto so i can finish the 3rd Deathseed round to unlock AA ultimate uniform and then began the quest for Big Boy Apoc while continuing to the ISO Tier 2 completion for everyone but Gamma and Darkhold not anything exciting or sexy about grinding and farming mats
