FTH Beyond: Marvel Strike Force Episode #9 “Frustration Management” - a podcast by Charles McFall

Another Fine Podcast on the Giant Size Team Up Network



Gameplay This Week

Kurt gets characters into the higher star brackets, Klotz has laid back a bit this week but made some progress with Night Nurse and takes Yondu to Tier 9.  Charles notes it's been a few minutes since the last patch, worked on Quake and made big changes in his Top-Tier team.

Discussion

We talk about how we spend our resources and hoarding resources vs spending those shards, power cores and that sweet, sweet Gold!



We dive deeply into the topic: "Why the in-game offers are bad"  And speculate that it's deliberate.  We discuss an article about Frustration Marketing and how we believe it is driving this game.



Kurt notes that character power levels 'In-Game' NEVER match their power levels from their books. (examples: Hulk, Thor, Luke Cage)  Klotz agrees but lists a few characters from MSF that do come close.

Tips

Character builds and how to improve on the Hulk.



Newbie Tip: Klotz notes a mistake we all make in the beginning... Gear management is important! Don't click those green crosses just because they're there... consider who can use that resource the most. (A resource that you have can be used on more than one character, so decide who you want to have it the most and then click!)

Questions

From our Facebook page: Matt asks "For larger raids of 24 members, is it better to tackle more easy nodes with all three Strike Teams or just fill in Strike Team 1 completely and then put remaining members into Teams 2 and 3?"



From Live Chat: Abdilcab asks "What's more important... getting Character Stars up or getting the Gear Tier up?"



Shout out to Khasino who came in and gave us some Hosting love and GREAT info in-chat.
