The Watcher and World Events

So, on one hand I'm glad that they finally released the Watcher and Spiderman Noir. On the other hand, the contest that they're preposing isn't very fair.

Apparently, in order to get him, you need to use every hero you have. Each hero can collect 10 fractals from each of the zones per 12 hour time span. If you don't have too many heroes, then you've lost before you start. Now I know there aren't a lot of players with that many heroes, but don't you think it'd be fairer to set some kind of amount of fractals that you need to collect to get him? Say it was 5,000 fractals, and you didn't have to do it within 12 hours. Every day, you'd still be collecting fractals, you just wouldn't be pushed to collect them in such a short amount of time, and you could have a chance even if you didn't have that many heroes.

I guess you'll just have to hope you get to be the lucky randomly chosen player, because the only way anyone will win this is if they have a lot of time on their hands and a lot of heroes.

What do you guys think? In some ways, it's a good idea. It'll certainly get more people buying heroes. Now if only they'll put back the heroes they swiped from the store, and gave us the Mysterio mission. That'd be nice.

To tide you over until my new What-If's out, here's a teaser!

Rescue and The Hunt for the Watcher

Well a few days ago Rescue was released! I wish I could afford her, (I have almost every Iron Man in the game, except the new Iron Patriot and Arctic Armor).

So, anyway, today I logged in the game for the first time in two weeks. I got the cheapest sidekick gold can buy: a trouble-bot. Oh well, at least it increases squad level.

I also maxed Hawkeye, so now I'm on to maxing Hope Summers.

In my comments section there's been a conversation about The Watcher, an alien who watches over everything and possesses an enormous amount of knowledge. In comments section, user "708f448a-c974-11e2-af91-000bcdcb5194", (and you KNOW I copied and pasted that!), said that the Watcher is in the Baxter Plaza Zone and you can give fractals to him to get Spiderman Noir. Said fractals apparently can be found in missions, zones, on the wheel and in the store. James Shield in the comments said that when you play as Green Goblin, the Watcher Mayehm Mode mission takes the place of the Green Goblin one, and said that proof was in the Green Goblin Vignette video.

Well, half right and half wrong.

That's the Watcher from the video. He's standing in Annihilus's place, in Baxter Plaza. However, when I traveled there today, I did not see the Watcher. I also didn't see fractals available for purchase in the store, see them in the zones, get them as a prize on the wheel, or as a prize in a mission. :(

So, basically that means I didn't see anything, but maybe that's because I wasn't playing as one of the Mystery Box villains, or because I'm not a member.

Who knows? But if you're a member or are playing as a Mystery Box villain, or both, tell me if you can see the Watcher in Baxter Plaza or any fractals.

If not I hope they release the Watcher soon, because I REALLY want to play as Spiderman Noir!!

The Month of the Mutants Has Arrived!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

First of all, I'm pretty excited. I know this may be old news for many of you, but I only just got into the game today and saw this truly awesome loading screen for the first time!

Look at it! Wow! I may have to become a member just to get Spider-Man Noir! (Or purchase gold).

This raises the quenstion: who is going to be Agents-Only on this loading screen? I'm betting for Noir, (I really hope not, though, because I'd like to stay a non-member and get him by buying gold).

In the meantime, I'll be eagerly awaiting Iron Spider and Spiderman Noir, and I may actually get them when they first come out just because they are so awesome!

By the way, my poll has been completed, thanks for voting! Playable Villains will be getting a much needed update!

Postscript: I made a small error in my post yesterday that has hence been fixed. I said the Venom Mystery Box was 600 gold when it was actually 200 gold. I was relying on information I had found on SHSO's Facebook page because I could not get into the game at the time.

I hope I didn't confuse anyone!

Thanks to Wanda Quan in the comments section for pointing that out to me. If you see any other errors be sure to tell me so I can fix them as soon as possible, in the comments section below.
