CK – just wanted to ask you something about the WT please. I did my mission last night, where it takes you around the place showing you the different armour sets etc etc. (still think it’s very confusing and way to big).
The different armour sets, how does it work? do you have to become friendly/honoured etc with each faction/superhero i.e. Flash, Robin, Batman before you can buy from them or do you have to do certain raids to get that gear? Sorry I hope that makes sense?
You need to do duos/alerts/raids to get the marks to obtain those bits of armour. You can check through them (depending on your origin and role) and see which one will benefit you in terms of what buffs you will get from it. So for example, I got a new chestpiece last night in Outer Cavern raid. It's just as good as the Superman chest piece. But now I don't have to worry about getting the Superman chest piece. I can get another piece like the belt as this gives more points in defense, health and dominance. So if you're a healer, look at the healer version of the item, and so on for controller, tank and dps.
And that's the best thing about doing duos/alerts/raids, you can pick up serious items (which I keep saying lol). By the way, when I refer to alerts I mean the hard alerts. You have Smallville, Area 51, Ace Chemicals, Arkham Asylum, Watchtower Containment and Stryker's Island. Everyday each one is rotated as the daily hard alert. What this means is when you complete that daily, you not only get your marks of triumph (for tier 1 gear: Steel, Flash and Raven), you get 1 mark of distinction (for tier 2 gear: Superman, Batman and Dr Fate). Same with duos that are also dailies.
The marks work as follows:
For completing a hard daily alert you get 6 Marks of Triumph and 1 Mark of Distinction
For completing a normal hard alert you get 6 Marks of Triumph only.
For completing a daily duo you get 2 Marks of Triumph and 1 Mark of Distinction.
For completing a normal duo you get 2 Marks of Triumph only.
For completing a raid (Khandaq or Outer Caverns) you get 10 Marks of Distinction.
Also, if you need to obtain 1 Mark of Triumph, you can do this by completing your solo challenge missions (these are marked by small consoles in each of the wings in Watchtower. They are lit up on either ends of each wing and the Central Hub). Completing these give you 2 Marks of Alliance. When you have 10 of these, go to the vendor in Watchtower within that wing and sell them for 1 Mark of Triumph.
Word of warning, the duos and alerts are locked to just once a day. Meaning if you do one alert/duo and you go back in to help someone else complete those, you won't get the loot or marks again until the next day. Raids are locked to once a week. If you want to know how hard it is to complete a raid, let give you an example:
When our league went in last night to do Outer Caverns, it took us over 2hrs to complete. Khandaq took around 3hrs to complete. And this was with everyone having at least one tier 1 gear on them. It's an 8 man raid and as long as everyone knows what they are doing, it'll be a fine enough run. But yes, we became the first group to complete both Outer Caverns and Khandaq one after the other on Zer Hour. Even Jim Lee gave us his sincere congrats on Twitter last night
So hope the info I have given helps. Sorry it's so long lol.
Will it save time buying a copy from a shop?
) and motherboard arrived last night, so hopefully be up and running soon on my new rig.
