I find it super ironic that you can't level up in the Danger Room considering the X-Men use it specifically for training purposes. It is also sad because it is a lot more fun and varied. So leveling up characters would be less tedious in this mode than grinding in a Rift challenge over and over. The developers don't explain much of any of this, so it is a great topic for a video.
Yeah I’m not sure why you can’t level either. Maybe it was too quick of leveling with the rewards they are handing out. I guess it’s their way to balance?
@@alwaysnerdyretros Probably. You can still level up with the rewards. But I don't know if you are better off playing Danger Room for leveling up purposes (with the rewards) after you've reached 30 in the tier or just grinding in Rifts (which also generates cubes).
Awesome! I already maxed the tier but ita good to know how I did it. I was wondering why I would lose everything and then win level 3 and still win. I seriously hope this game gets more story, levels, modes, characters, etc. This is such a great game. I will keep buying more and more if its offered. Games like warframe are constantly adding more. I sure hope this does too. And where the F is antman!!!!!
Totally agree! I’ll buy whatever dlc they throw at me lol. I’d love to see a season pass 2 to add more characters and modes. I can’t get enough of this game
I'm struggling to get teams together cause I came to this game 3 years after content updates ended. it's very fun but 100% completion is the hardest it's ever been.
I maxed out the Tier and then I went and played Danger Room a few days later and it now I'm back at level 5. I still have all the rewards it seems, but it really bugs me. You can also "game the system" by choosing vs. player online and then starting the game with only four players in the room. You get the rewards for playing against people, but its way easier since you are playing the A.I. I've tried to grind this way, but people are too stupid to realize what I'm trying to do and they leave the lobby.
Lol that’s actually pretty smart. You’ll probably need a group that knows what you’re doing to keep a full team of actual players though. I know I personally want a full 8 person lobby because the challenge is more fun now that I have all tiers. I wish there was an in game chat so you could state your intentions within the lobby
@@alwaysnerdyretros Game chat is why face palmed when I heard this was going to be a Switch exclusive. This game would be far better served on PS4 or Xbox One. I prefer a full room of 8 as well if I want to play it competitively. But if I'm just looking to grind quickly, you can do it much faster by stomping the A.I while still reaping the rewards as if it was a player vs. player match. Keep up the good content!
You should review this game again after launch. Like how has dlc been, game updates and just how this game has aged since launch and looking forward. Im wondering because Im pretty much convinced im getting this game but would love an experienced player thinks since launch
I was considering doing this after the third dlc releases for the full picture of the games lifespan. But that’s not until spring. How long are you waiting before purchasing?
I thought Danger Room was gonna be like the perfect place to level Up characters when I first saw the announcement... but then I realized characters do not level up there! -__-U. I like Danger Room, but to me, it is just the event, and since I finished the LV 30, I haven't played there. I hope more events to come for Danger Room, or further levels with new Spiders suites, or even for the Fatastic Four release!
It looks like we’ll definitely get another event since there is a timer on it. I’m excited to see what modes they put in the ff dlc, because in my opinion, each dlc has been better than the last. Really hoping for more story 🤞
@@alwaysnerdyretros Yeap, you're right! And yes, this DLC thing is definitely keeping the game alive. I hope they make another season pass with more DLC after FF. Wouldn't mind to pay another $20 for it.
I don’t believe there are rotations, and the current event is still running too. And they still show up in my depot but I had bought them already. I know I had a problem with suits not showing up in the depot when the latest update rolled out, and then they popped up the next time I loaded the game. It may just be one of the many glitches going on right now. I’d reload the game and see if they’re in there now?
I’ve been leveling up playing the first half of the story like 20 times.. haha I feel really stupid. Plus I found I have so many cubes to use. My goal was just to get everyone leveled up to 20 or higher to have all abilities and the 2nd notch upgrade on each ability. My main 4 characters are fully upgraded at level 70. What’s the fastest way to earn shield tokens?? Gauntlets are so repetitive. Get 2 skins for playing the same gauntlet over like 5 times in a row. The grinding in this game is insane. It’s a shame the game events and support are now dead. Does danger room do anything if there’s no event or is it pointless?
For danger room it’s not too bad. Rifts and gauntlets are harder. You’ll probably need to be on discord or reach out to friends in order to get a full lobby in rifts or gauntlets
@@alwaysnerdyretros Thanks. I will give it a try. It would really be for the danger room only. All my characters are Lvl 100 and up. And I don't really know anyone who plays this game. I will see if I can find myself a team but thanks for the explanation w/ the video. I was really confused about that mode.
Basically it is a bundle of 3 dlc’s that release over a period of time (marvel knights, xmen, fantastic 4). There is only one season pass so far. We’re not sure if there will be a new one after fantastic four releases this month
Some of the dlc may be locked until you reach a certain point in story, so it might force you to prioritize story initially. But the dlc isn’t too spoilery, so you can bounce around freely in my opinion, when it lets you. It might feel more natural to go story first anyway. Unless you want certain dlc characters for the story mode. The dlc characters are in low level gauntlets, so you could, for example, get punisher unlocked and then bring him into story
You’ll probably have to level up a character to 200 to get delta. You can still unlock tiers through danger room offline, so you won’t miss out on event rewards. It will probably be a slower process is all.
I don't have Nintendo online so I'm doing this mode offline. Playing Delta once literally gets you one tier so thirty playthroughs will net you all 30. I'm just taking my time playing this mode and lvl all my characters before I get bored until the next DLC launches.
@@alwaysnerdyretros I checked the room info settings and it turns out the program is stuck on training level Alpha and I can't move it and some of my characters are on level 27 and the reason why I haven't brought the expansion pass is because my brother keeps saying that he doesn't want to spend his money on it and I keep telling him it's only $19.99. And I tired the danger room about 7 times and one times I won two challenges but the last one there were black hole machines pushing and then I lost!😡😡😡
I don’t understand man. I played like 8 matches, won them all, and never moved up a tier or got any meaningful rewards. Just piddly cubes and worthless iSo’s. What am I doing wrong?
I’m not sure why it wouldn’t unlock for you? This has worked for everyone I’ve talked to including myself. Are you sure it was delta? And did you go back into level selector afterwards? Mine didn’t unlock until I went back to select a training level
I’m not sure what the problem is then? It should be unlocked. But if you’re able to join it that’s good at least. Worst case, I guess you could try to get one character to level 200 and see if it triggers that way
It depends on the character. Like cyclops and colossus costumes are in the phi rift. They are also in shield depot, which is where a lot of costumes are. For Loki, you need to get all stars in the sigma rift. Some costumes are in gauntlets, some are in the danger room events tab, and some you get just through playing story mode.
@@alwaysnerdyretros but as I get the new ones that come with the update of fenix, not the ones in the danger room, if not, the new ones from loki, ciclope, doctor strange, etc.
No offense to the developers but they don't explain anything well in game. I hated this game when I got it, but thanks to a lot of google-fu and helpful UA-camrs I was able to learn how to play this game. Thank you, UA-camrs.😅
So I really enjoyed your reviews on this game, but I gotta say; danger room sucks. It sucks online and offline. It's repetitive content that locks amazing iso's behind the skill wall. Oh, I can get rewards by just getting destroyed for a couple of hours? Cool, that's why I play video games!!! If I could earn these rewards some other way... I can only enjoy get WRECKED by dark pheonix and people online that know what their doing, meanwhile I drag my team down to loss after loss. 0/10 I'm done playing this entire game because of this content.
black deku hmm it’s tough to say. I still see new people joining discord who recently bought the game and are looking for lobbies, so I wouldn’t say it’s totally dead. And I only play the game online, just not as much as I used to, and I still find lobbies through Discord. So I’d go in with the expectation that you may have to play solo occasionally. Danger Room is especially difficult to find full lobbies in. But gauntlet and story mode still get regular players because of “monthly” events. The game is awesome so I know you’ll enjoy it, it’s more of the online presence that’s lacking right now. So Idk if that helps at all. I just want you to have a better idea of what to expect. Let me know if you have other questions. I’m not sure if I made sense in this post lol
6:08 Siriously people; don't rage quit you still get a crazy amount of rewards even for losing.

Danger room is basically unplayable now since your only option is vs system. So you make no progress, get few rewards and it’s a coin flip if you win
@@skypiratecaptain yea the ramp up on the ai side is so hard to beat sometimes

So did I. That’s what I was saying in the video
@@alwaysnerdyretros My bad.
No worries lol
So Do I have to have friends added to play with people online or does it autofill?
Is it easy or quick to run into someone online? I would to try and unlock Magneto's Black Costume.

@Always Nerdy can I add you for delta level danger room?
What is the season pass? How often that comes back?
Basically it is a bundle of 3 dlc’s that release over a period of time (marvel knights, xmen, fantastic 4). There is only one season pass so far. We’re not sure if there will be a new one after fantastic four releases this month
So this may be obvious but would you recommend beating the game before jumping into the Dlc?
Some of the dlc may be locked until you reach a certain point in story, so it might force you to prioritize story initially. But the dlc isn’t too spoilery, so you can bounce around freely in my opinion, when it lets you.
It might feel more natural to go story first anyway. Unless you want certain dlc characters for the story mode. The dlc characters are in low level gauntlets, so you could, for example, get punisher unlocked and then bring him into story

Do you have any characters to 200 and have you played delta before?
@@alwaysnerdyretros I checked the room info settings and it turns out the program is stuck on training level Alpha and I can't move it and some of my characters are on level 27 and the reason why I haven't brought the expansion pass is because my brother keeps saying that he doesn't want to spend his money on it and I keep telling him it's only $19.99.

Such a stomachache video
Joined & completed a Delta lobby, didn't unlock it for myself.
I’m not sure why it wouldn’t unlock for you? This has worked for everyone I’ve talked to including myself. Are you sure it was delta? And did you go back into level selector afterwards? Mine didn’t unlock until I went back to select a training level
@@alwaysnerdyretros It was definitely Delta. So were the 8 or 9 others I joined, both Vs. Player & Vs. System. Still no joy.
