What do you think of the event so far? Any characters you're particularly excited to see? Are you going to be enjoying a lil break this week?
Kou.
Anyone else bothered by the fact that Ronon keeps getting stronger, but there's currently no way to level up your own health or attack? Or is it a bug on my end?
ReplyDeleteI can't even access any info in the game. Though I've managed to beat Ronon all the way through to the last one that maybe because I already unlocked all the guardians not including nova and Groot
DeleteHi Kaleb, currently it isn't possible to upgrade the strength of the fighters. Personally I prefer it like this as it relies only on timing to beat the bosses. If the characters can be upgraded, the boss is always much more powerful. Having said that, it is likely that when the full event starts on Thursday, the ability to train will be introduced.
DeleteHi Ben, the full event will be released on Thursday night/Friday morning depending on your timezone. The first week is an opportunity for people to get the original Guardians characters.
DeleteCan you please explain how this could possibly be better than being able to upgrade? At the rate Ronon is gaining strength, there's no way in hell I'll be able to beat him enough times to unlock Groot, unless I can get stronger too.
ReplyDeleteSo because characters take around 2h to heal and there are 16h available during the higher streaks, you can save up your cosmic Disruptors and hit Ronan multiple times. As he has a lower health than he would do of we were able to train, we are able to defeat him. Once training is introduced, even if you hit a boss multiple times during a high streak it won't matter unless you trained them for ages, having to go through several steps to get the level required to beat the boss. This way is nice and direct in comparison.
DeleteP.S. if you have Rocket he is stronger than Star-Lord, Drax and Gamora (unless you have Star-Lord's outfit which increases his strength)
DeleteIs anyone else getting the locked menu for the galaxy menu? Every tab is locked, I have nova and Thor groot now, but nothing is unlocked or open for the event. Wth?
ReplyDeleteHi Adam, the full event will be released on Thursday night/Friday morning depending on your timezone. The first week is an opportunity for people to get the original Guardians characters.
DeleteI have the same problem, the Galaxy menu is all locked, tried reloading the game but everything is still locked. If event is supposed to going, how is it everything is locked?
ReplyDeleteHiya, the full event will be released on Thursday night/Friday morning depending on your timezone. The first week is an opportunity for people to get the original Guardians characters.
DeleteHas anyone got Groot?? It's frustating.. cause everytime I manage to exchange Kree Seals.. I'd always pray I would get it.. but as you expected.. Will I get groot when the full Galaxy Menu opened?
ReplyDeleteOf course... then the Full Event Release.. and I've missed my chance to recruit Groot.. Hope I can get little Groot..
DeleteI can't confirm as I already have Groot, but other people said it's possible to get Kree Seals from fighting the Chitauri? So you can still open the box during the event.
DeleteIt looks to me like Groot is only unlocked by opening Groot's Galactic Crate. Of course, you'll need to open it a whole bunch of times before you get him, as the loot isn't truly random. Only Star Lord, Gamora, Drax and Rocket seem to be the invited characters for before the event begins.
ReplyDeleteSo I have been waiting a week to have this event to start and it hasn't started. Is this a bug or something. I just want to play the event. This is so frustrating.
ReplyDeleteOnce you have completed the quests "Me vs. Kree" and "The Golden Touch", you will be able to start episode 2!
DeleteOmg I'm having like the same problem as you!! Like the quests are there, but the tabs are locked, and there's this huge ass EMPTY blue stage :'-)
ReplyDeleteOnce you have completed the quests "Me vs. Kree" and "The Golden Touch", you will be able to start episode 2!
DeleteI am also having the same problem. I can see no info on this event. I have beaten Ronan 7 times. Recruited up to rocket. No groot yet from chest. And boss area is empty. What should I do?
ReplyDeleteOnce you have completed the quests "Me vs. Kree" and "The Golden Touch", you will be able to start episode 2!
DeleteWhere to find groot galactic crate? Cause it been missing after I unlocked groot. Help me please.
