I think we were supposed to get some kind of lunar event boxes today but people were getting anything from random pets to vendor trash to random costumes from them so Gaz turned them off.
That's what I've heard. NO idea if it's true as I got nothing when I logged on this morning.

Reading the responses to the thread for the Variant Costumes is making me cringe so hard. I'm out.
You should buy everyone here a present, comrade.

I will buy you all a free 2 week trial to hulu plus.
Hurray!
And now, we drink!

You know, if these are variant costumes, another route they could have gone with it was that you buy the regular version, then you pay the remaining Gs to make up the difference to get a way to toggle between them.
I find it weird calling them chase costumes because chase costumes in this game are actually amazing and these are practically palette-swaps.

I say it's a sufficient improvement.
There. Now the communists have won. Everyone will be able to buy minor-change costumes for the same price that will probably sell a lot more than 2000 units while not destroying the goodwill of your paying customers.
It's over.
So good.
Oh, okay. Sounds like it'd be true.

Couple side notes to veer the topic off costume discussion.
Winter Soldier is doing much better on the TC. Wouldn't say he's more fun necessarily but his builds work now. There is now proper AoE for his ranged spec and the melee spec has better damage. His healing in stealth is also pretty ridiculous (goes over 1k health per second maxed out, twice Juggernaut's healing). The only thing that disappoints me is that there is no build variation. The melee build is all of the right tree minus the Knife throw (which is for ranged) and the ranged build is all of the left tree minus Withering Fire (which is now really only for melee). Deviate from this and you get a messy character.
Also new TC build was datamined with a lot of Iceman's skills (frozen orb and ice weapons!) along with icons for a new Reputation system. Also looks like they'll start selling stash specifically for Team Up gear.

Would you say he's viable now? Who would you compare him to damage wise? (I'm planning my next splinter purchase).

If I were you, I would wait for Iceman release and Punisher review if you're considering buying WS with splinters
I actually already have Punisher at lv60 (enjoy him now so looking forward to the revamp) and I have 400 splinters stashed away for Ice-Man.
I'm sitting on 950 splinters (roughly) in total. Just got finished prestiging Pyslocke, Cap and BP so I'm looking for a different playstyle.
It was between Juggs, Surfer and Jean but if Winter Soldier is better then he is an option. I'll have to give him a go on TC tomorrow if I can find the time.

His changes aren't finished yet, so I'll get back to you on that. As of now, I'll say he's only slightly more viable. Having to go into stealth for extended periods of time to recoup will bother a lot of people when other characters don't need to rely on that style of running away. I doubt anyone will switch over to maining him with these set of changes.
Go Juggs for sure.

Are they? All the ones I can think of are pretty different, though I'm not totally familiar with some of the costumes for some of the characters I haven't played.

Black Widow's is only a white variant. So is Jean Grey's. Iron Man's is a Mk I colored gold, etc.
They have minor differences, but they are basically recolors.

i think i may have found out how people are getting hacked. inky or someone whos been hacked can you try and clarify if this happend before you had got hacked.
back in the early days of a new launched Rift mmo by trion worlds. there in game mail system when you messaged someone it would send you that players login token which you could copy paste into a manager then login as them and it would boot them off.
inky or anyone before you got hacked did you recieve a random whisper from anyone to which you replied too. maybe this game does a similar thing ? i know diablo 3 also did a simlar thing back in launch days too.

I've had plenty of whisper conversations (/t commmand) with people not on my friend's list, usually when doing terminals or joining random MM parties.
I do have people on my ignore list which were PMing me nonsense often (like once or twice a day for a week), but I don't remember if I ever replied to them. I might have. The kind of messages they sent me I just assumed they were bots or something. That was many months ago btw. Like, maybe even 2013.
That's a pretty interesting theory nonetheless. I do remember D3 doing weird stuff like that.

cosmic chaos is up on tc
https://forums.marvelheroes.com/discussion/175295/test-center-cosmic-chaos-event#latest
also more winter chnages
Hey folks,
Today's Test Center has some additional changes for Winter Soldier:
CHANGES
Expanded Arsenal's bonus damage rating to Firearms powers after striking with a Brutal Combatant power has been significantly increased.
Relentless Pursuit now restores 3 Spirit when you critically hit or brutally strike. This effect is no longer granted by Expanded Arsenal or Bionic Combat.

They kinda did. They aren't called Limited Edition costumes anymore.

Ain't this the truth. I wonder if they throttle the global drop rate, sort of the way they handle Eternity Splinter drops but for the entire game instead. It wouldn't surprise me if they did...

They should give the LE costumes a Super Saiyan aura instead of that... bizarre mark below them. All of the stationary, between-the-feet visual effects look terrible and should be avoided at all costs by Gaz.
