I played it a little near launch in 2004/2005 and never noticed rep or don't remember it

Rep systems can work. I don't have high hopes for this one to be good though.
If it ends up being hero specific then I'll probably just do it on my Spidey and go back to leveling/prestiging.

The eyes/hearts system is a reputation system, afaik. You grind a specific currency that can be used only on a certain vendor, usually to buy endgame gear.
On MMOs, this is usually the entire (or the most important/reliable) endgame gearing process. You grind a dungeon a gazillion times, each time you acquire one token and after you have a gazillion tokens, you buy one tiny bit of upgrade for some gear.
Which is usually what burns me out of an MMO as soon as I hit the endgame. Marvel Heroes, of course, is different. There is a lot of grindable stuff, but to their credit, it doesn't feel as boring/frustrating and "play 20 hours to get a small upgrade". Even eyes and hearts unlock recipes that then unlock higher level gear for all your characters. And even then, you can either do the weekly raid, the one-shots/daillies or a mix of both.
Which is what makes this confusing and scary to me. If Marvel Heroes already has the superior system, why introduce the point where every other MMO fails?
Edit: It also pisses me off that I have to earn reputation with a faction that I probably already done a fuckload of work with while leveling. This will just piss me off more. "I'm sorry, Captain America, you need to prove yourself first before having access to our gear". I WON WW2 YOU ASSHOLES!

Don't we already have that with the Dragonfire stuff, and the omega points? Wouldn't this just be a third currency to grind for end game gear, and effects?

What does a mobile pay system have to do with reputation grinding? You mean because Marvel Heroes is *technically* a free game? Because I refuse to touch one of those games where you have to pay money to unlock more fuel for your car or whatever. Screw it.
Haha! Yeah, none of this will be retroactive. And the very concept of earning reputation when you are a freaking superhero makes zero sense. Thor is a god and doesn't have to prove himself to the citizens of Hell's Kitchen.

Ok "Thor" of so called "Earth 6124." Get in the back of the line. No not THAT line. That line is reserve for Beta Ray Bill knockoffs. Yes they all have a hammer but if the line gets too long, the AIM factory down the street starts complaining.
Yeah, it's what I think. What worries me is that, now, it's a "system"; meaning possibly new grinding unrewarding mechanics.

like i said all the devs have been saying each raid will add something. im guessing gems are the raid 2 feature maybe. considering its been touted as raid 2 will change how you gear heroes etc.

That will suck for those of us who can't / won't raid.
I brought it up because someone earlier said there's a rumor MH might implement a mobile pay2win type system too
But that's what I mean, I absolutely refuse to play those games like you said. So if MH actually does that... screw that shit
I can deal with a WoW rep system, I don't mind that

That would be the death of the game as well.

that fact that doomsaw has said numerous times they arent even working on a mobile app i doubt that rumor has any significance and thats first time ive heard anyone ever mention mobile pay2win stuff so kepow check your sources.
in other news surely achievements are a grind too right.
specifacally the ones that award artifacts like the advanced magneto shirt by killing the brotherhood x amount of times in midtown.

I'm on cellphone right now, but someone on last page was speculating I think affe
I just hope Gaz never even considers it, because I will never come back for that

They have talked about a phone app but I believe it was more along the lines of an app that lets you view your heroes, your stash and maybe do some reorganising.
I guess a pay2win phone thing is possible but I've never seen or heard anything that would suggest it myself.
lol why would you use me as a source?? I dunno much hehe

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
You are clearly David Brevik and just post as krazy kepow to throw us off your trail.

I said nothing of the sort.
No, trust me I'm definitely not that guy. But I remember who he is now.
Ah okay must have been someone else. I can't see previous pages on my flip phone right now.

What would a mobile pay2win system for a game that doesn't have a win state even look like?
Kepow does seem like the blood feuding type. Makes sense to me.
Well I don't play any of those cellphone in-app pay games, but I heard you can pay for XP boosts and stuff like that to advance. I'm just hoping MH never does anything like that, but as others said on this page it might just be random speculation
Heh heh I think now yall have finally implanted in my head that the Brevik guy had nothing to do with the blood feud I thought I heard about, lol. Now I finally remember for good.
lol no...
I guess it's just a regional term depending where you are in the world. In Texas "blood feud" means like a serious real-life heated dispute between two people, where they cuss each other out. Not as a joke, but like real cussing.

Looks like we're getting a shirtless Gambit with trench coat variant.

Not sure if I like that costume or not. I'd probably stick with my classic costume if I got it though.
The gender swap Punisher looks nice too, it's been a while since I saw it, forgot what it looked like.

hahha fro, it's actually funny you say that. Because my initial honest reaction when I first saw his post was to do a double-take for half a second... I was like, wait that's not my alt account name is it??
so it confused me too!

Dat new Iceman sig. Most people should be happy with this.
Didn't get much testing time, but damage is great and the summon build is still viable (don't even bother listening to the incorrect knee-jerk complaints on the forums). Still squishy as hell though.
The problem now is deciding on what skills to take. More good ones than you can spec into.
