She looks like shit anyway, using an old model from when they did the other Phoenix Force costumes.
Looks better than the default Magik, that's for damn sure.

Anyway, 4 ult upgrades and 25 heroes through limbo. Good day. Should be able to get the rest through by monday, then when Warmachine is released I get to wait a month and a half for the next time Limbo comes around.

Just converted 5 gorilla spears, 5 batrocs, 5 doomsday chairs, 5 mask of algrims to credit chests....think its time to quit this game as I'm slowly approaching grinding Fragments of Twilight.

Or cut your playtime down lol. I'm making up for all the time I spent endlessly prestiging, I'm pretty low on arti value for someone who has played as much as I have.

Some guy got the secret achievement for the event but he has no idea how he did it, all that is known that it was after killing pyro with doctor strange.

Kind of a lame limbo achievement to do a bunch of stuff not tied to the event at all. Seems more like advertising to buy Strange and Clea.

Well it's only first step from what I understand? Rest might be more linked to it or whatever, don't know. And yeah kinda lame to link achievements to specific hero/team up combo like this, though not sure if that's new or the other hidden achievement stuff also does it, haven't really paid attention to it.

Dr Strange and Clea both have pretty strong connections to Limbo, even if it doesn't have much to do with the Limbo event itself.
 

Pyros

Any version of both?
The post says yeah, can be all 3 of the same. There's some shit about killing lava demons too or whatever, like a certain random amount of them, once you've killed both 3times, just farm some until you get the achievement. Pretty sure it's on frontpage of reddit so you can check it out for details, I'm not doing it(I have neither Strange nor Clea so wouldn't be able even if I gave a fuck).

I mean, the achievement isn't going away but its gonna be like 6 months before all 5 steps of it are out so there ain't no rush.

Its a shame they did such a terrible job with achievements in general. Funny how some games get these things so right and some ... do this.

Weird, I actually think this game does achievements better than 95% of other games. There are actual rewards, and many are quite cool.

They arnt really cool at all, they are boring. Kill x mob with x hero x amount of times while having x as your teamup. Some combo of that consists of 80%(made up % but you get the idea) of them. Achievements should encourage players to play existing content in new ways, not existing content in the same stale way youve been doing it for 2 years. Getting a shiny at the end is all well and good but for me its not enough to cover the endless shit I had to swallow to get it.

Yeah, I find them boring as shit, especially considering how much they hyped them up as being made up of all the best achievement systems throughout gaming. Was hoping for at least some that offered any type of challenge, but after seeing the person in charge of the system play on stream awhile back, doubt that's ever going to happen.

Well it would be kind of stupid to base very many achievements on the capabilities of the top 5% of their player base. I imagine the average player is incapable of killing cosmic doom in 60 seconds. I imagine most players can't even do Genosha, much less get through encounters with zero deaths. Hell, I still haven't gotten a zero death Onslaught farming him with a group composed of most of the best players in my SG. The game is about grinding just like most of its genre, it's no surprise that most of the achievements would also be about grinding.

Although obviously some of them are pretty fucking stupid, like 100 holo hulk kills for Hulkbuster, or 2k sentinel kills with Cable. Seriously, two thousand sentinels? It took me several hours to farm 2k frost giants on Loki and they appear in low but steady numbers in Norway. 2k sentinels would take a fucking life age of middle earth.

I'm just shy of 7k points, and War Machine should push me over. That final push to 9k is going to be awful. I'm also not looking forward to my options to finish the 10 titles feat. I'm at 6, Demonslayer and Maximum Onslaught will be an easy way to get to 8, but the remaining options are pretty awful. 5 more cosmic prestiges would get me 100 points and a title, but that would drive me insane. I suppose I will inevitably get the armor event title and uniquely qualified, although it might be possible for me to get the mayhem event title before uniques. Only need Magik for mayhem, plus killing thousands of demons in midtown and limbo.

The Shimmy Shimmy Ya achievement is fucking retarded though. I've done around 50 limbo runs, and I have less than 100 kills of everything except mindless ones. So what is that, over 1000 limbo runs for the achievement?
