I'm in an alliance called "Hazte No!!" I think we've got a few openings and as long as you're a contributing member we'd be happy to have you. I occasionally miss a raid or two and nobody jumps down my throat, so it's pretty laid back.

But it stays pretty active an we're always jumping on the latest raids going on. Also worth noting is it's a Spanish speaking alliance - not exclusively so, but the majority of discussion is done in Spanish. It's not a dealbreaker by any stretch if you don't speak it but keep that in mind if you wanna jump on.

they made blitz terrible imo

i don't really play that mode as often anymore

Yeah I'm really not happy with the two hour thing.
I usually hit around rank 10 or so in the rewards but to hell with them if they expect me to log in every two hours for that nonsense

The Deadpool thing is killing my clan though. Most of the members live in Spain and it's not always easy to coordinate timing to such a strict scale.
We do great in the Ultimus raids but gtfo with this 2 hour raid mess

what really brings wolverine down is his very low resistance to status effects, if he's with something that causes bleed/slow/blind/defense down/stun then he's in trouble

i assume he'll get better once more x-men characters come out so he'll have synergy with them

On that note I can't wait until they let you start presetting blitz teams.

I'd love to run an all Kree force with Ronan but it's such a chore when they have varying power levels to cycle through it.

Wolverine is a noob trap. He's not terrible, and before you really have some heavy hitters he can be a good addition to round out your team, but he hits the ceiling quickly.

Someone else mentioned his high health is all he really has and they're absolutely right. His damage output isn't great and his speed is terrible. If they make him faster over time he'd be a lot more viable, but as it stands I usually save him for last if he's on an enemy team because he just isn't a threat.

He might score a kill on an already weakened fighter with his ultimate, but by the time he gets it ready the battle's pretty much been decided.
Use him until you have a better fighter like Gamora or Deadpool but don't expect to rely on him.

i read all her tweets, and the other dudes too.

the sexism thing really came out of no where. the guy was just being a typical internet person on twitter and tweeting at someone who worked on a game he liked.

but she flipped out and was like "IM A WOMAN AND NO ONE TELLS ME WHAT TO DO. LEAST OF ALL TWITTERS ON MY PRIVATE ACCOUNT!"

"but your account is public. and you're talking about video games"

"MANSPLAINER!!! SHUT UP! MEN ARE THE DEVIL!"

it seemed like polygon chose to ignore that and just was like "WHAT A WOMAN IN DISTRESS!!! LOOK WHAT YOUVE DONE TRUMP!"

Good ol' Polygon.

If anything is a "club" in the game industry it's the games journalism cabal that seeks to protect their own, even at the cost of any semblance, any shred of integrity.

TLDR she wasn't fired because of a "boys club" or anything to do with sexism.
She was fired because she openly insulted and harassed her customers while representing her company.

Harassment is only a problem when altright idiots do it tho. Perfectly acceptable when women do it

She was just so MAD because everyone kept trying to tell her how to do her job and she couldn't take it anymore!
I think Jessica Price wanted us to treat her differently because she's a girl
Which kind of goes against the entire point of feminism LOL

The best place to unlock characters is doing the character raid orbs which, if you have a half decent raid group, you should be getting at least once per day.

Barring that, blitz and arena store. If you're staying busy on the blitzes it's real easy to crank out the blitz orbs.

Yeah I'm really unimpressed with Ant Man so far.
He's not even bad, he's just too slow, which makes him pretty ineffective.

My main team for raids right now is Gamora, Crossbones, Hawkeye, Quake, and Drax, and they work out pretty well. After a few rounds I swap out Drax for the Sorceress to heal.

@cjsdowg finding good villains is p rough especially as a free player, but Bullseye isn't too hard to get and can hit pretty hard. I really like the Hand Blademaster and Mercenary Snipers, as well.

I recently got Ronan the Accuser and maybe I need to level him up more but he kinda sucks.

@ASithLord7 I know what you mean, FML666 is actually one of the songs I really dig on TDB XD

That's a big reason I'm not as harsh as I potentially could be on the album, as well. At the end of the day a band is going to (or at least should) make the music they want to make and with TDB that's precisely what happened. Whether an audience is receptive to that is what defines the music industry but as much as I'm not too impressed with the album, I can respect that the singer had a lot of issues she was working through and used her platform as an artistic outlet.

There's a part of me who thinks that perhaps Transgender Dysphoria Blues should have been a solo project and Shape Shift With Me should have just been their next album, sort of a "Matt Skiba And The Sekrets" juxtaposition alongside Alkaline Trio, but I definitely feel the personal journey. That's a big reason I've attempted to give it so many listens rather than write it off as though it were, say, a modern Green Day album.

I'll definitely have to check out some of these acoustic version though.

Very much so. But I'm also one of the weirdos who vastly prefers New Wave and on rather than the opposite.

Jorep posted...

but their post transition stuff hasn't been very good.

what the fuck

TDB is a great album, and SSWM is honestly their career best imo.

Shape Shift With Me isn't too bad and there's a couple songs I really like, but it's nowhere near the level of White Crosses.
I think the biggest problem with TDB is that it feels very much like a vanity project and perhaps something I'd expect from a band just starting out, not a tight-knit group of musicians in their mid-30s. A lot of the lyrics (and especially the song names) are very immature and the choruses fall very flat, lacking the raw energy you'd come to expect from Against Me.

Which isn't to say there's not a place for TDB because perhaps more than any album it's a personal journey for Laura and, much like Say Anything's "Hebrews," that's both a blessing and a curse. The biggest thing that drags TDB down for me, though, is just in how un-subtle and immature it feels for most of the ride.
Coming off very insightful songs like "Thrash Unreal" and "I Was A Teenage Anarchist" I would expect more of the lyricism that accompanied such a journey, rather than the madcap "Fuckmylife666" teenage diary that it turned into.
They've always had artistically-stilted songs like "White People For Peace" jackknifed against their better jams, but I'm still holding out hope that we get another White Crosses level experience.

Shape Shift With Me gives me hope that they'll move back in that direction if they continue making music because it's a more mature look at some of the themes inherent with TDB but it hasn't made it to my regular rotation.

I really like them overall, but their post transition stuff hasn't been very good.
I keep trying to listen to TDB because I want to tune in to the message the singer is attempting to convey but it gets lost in a lot of self aggrandizement and messy vocals.
