Viper talismans

[Nuke_Happy]

Are they worth it? I don’t plan on spending a dime on this game unless it’s for like Paschendale Eddie or something, and I have the 500 ironite to finish the set. I’m aware of the reaper tali issues, but I don’t have the vault unlocked so I’m screwed w/out the ender pack. If they are worth it, what are some recommend eds/ toons to use on?

Ive not come across them, but a few people have come across alex with them in PVP and they caused a heap of trouble with the counter-strike. I wish there would be an ender pack too!

@Devs, if you read this, please put an ender pack up for grabs!!!

I came across a few during the last arena event. They are definetly worth it if you have the ironite. That is if they dont nerf them in the near future. I didnt buy them outright so I will have 2 more days. Any good toon that can hold 5 red talisman would be worth a try.

Theyre not for sale at the moment though are they?

you were able to purchase a full set for approx $20? I forget exact cost. I havent been spending on the game with all these issues, but i got completely stomped by these in Gauntlet so I broke down and bought a set. Will have a second set once the event completes. These things are crazy good and should be used on any toon that can carry them. Since I bought them, they have disappeared from my store, so I dont know if they are still available.

It is a "one time only" purchase, in € it is 22. Buy it or not, no judge or offense. Buy as much as you folks can, so that our game get's better and better... I simply cannot convince my self to spend again after all these disappointments. My old-school mind seems to be just unable to accept this freemium-approach, sorry if I offended someone in the past.

Connected to that, you gave a greate example of the psychological manipulation that is happening, Natasmai. Gauntlet is the perfect place to "advertise" new characters and talis. In combination with the AI boost, the ability of the opponents to wear all talis sets they want - without the colour restrictions we have - and the unknown stat boosts they have (I just checked, we don't even see the by talis added stats on the enemies - which is different to normal PVE game mode), especially now with the cosmic talis also, it is the perfect place to show you, that you absolutely need to have these things and you really really should buy them. With that point of view I just cannot buy these things, as I do not like to consider myself being manipulated.

The very very good thing is, that the majority of us players get one Viper set for free so that we can keep up a bit with the meta.

I usually buy all valuable new sets ... this time, with the event that will guarantee a complete set, I won't spend money on those

You can purchase 2 of the 5 set for 500 ironite if you are unable to finish the skull quests.

While trying to hit 500 PvP battles, I came across a few with Viper. The first was Rags team, I was like WTF!
I needed some ironite so I got the ironite/viper pack, $19.99. They are crazy good. I used Viper, Alchemy, Labrynth and Frontier (all 5 tali sets) on almost every team in Gauntlet, levels AA and above.
The counterstrike on the Vipers are 100%(despite what the description says.)
Great to buy, but we all know what happens when something works too good.
Enjoy them while we can.

[Yup]

Stated it just by viewing the tuning update before they were available.. they were overpowered since concept.. let alone implementation.

75% chance to counter strike + 15-25% AI accuracy boost = 100% chance to counterstrike.

Wait until the event is over and some teams have 2 sets....
