I'll be rocking Lady Mandarin in a few days. I'm almost as excited about the costume than I am for the Psylocke changes.

Marvel Heroes 2015 |OT2| I have, like, a Gazillion heroes
- Thread starter inky
- Start date
If they do a costume bogo (because my religion only allow me to buy heroes and costumes on bogo), I'll probably get that, too.
I'm still uneasy on the changes, tho, I was having a lot of fun leveling her. That "don't fix what is not broken" feel.

I just wish they'd hurry up and get the Deadpool review rolled out. Gagging to play him competitively again.

Having raided and run cosmics on her consistently, she's certainly not broken. The issue is she requires a ridiculous amount on gear to keep her survivable and doing above average damage. I could slap the artifacts I have on her onto most post-review melee characters and be more effective. My Wolverine was doing almost double the damage while remaining practically invincible with basically the exact same setup.
I view these QOL efforts as more of bringing characters in line with one another. In Psylocke's case that means a defensive barrier, better stealth mechanics, and a direct boost to her damage.
I'm not on the test center, but one of the more accomplished Psylocke players is testing her with a big improvement to her raid dummy kill time that will jump her up quite a bit relative to her current output. I hope we see the same for Ghost Rider on Friday.

Absolutely no idea.
I meant competitively as in able to carry decent DPS into Raids and such. At the moment, even fully geared, he just lets the team down haha..

I've played a little bit of pvp. It's like a single lane moba from what I can tell. This was a long time ago too so I don't know how much has changed, but I was just getting crushed in there.
So many games this fall that are taking me away from Marvel. I should at least get the green raid done every week. I still need 3/5 of the 66 item grade recipes.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually looking forward to all the QoL characters and Cyke's review more than I am to Nova this patch. For a character that was worked on for so long, he came out super underwhelming. Aside from Magneton Pulsar (which looks really cool), his visuals aren't even anything to write home about. I think it's safe to say he never left "side-project status".

Yeah he has some things going for him that are really neat, while others seem almost incomplete. His meele animations and visuals are pretty crap while some of his other moves like Falling Star and Nova Rush look great. He has only like 1 or 2 semi-efficient builds and the Pulsar mechanics while interesting feels half-finished. Overall he just feels rushed, guess he will be another QoL hero in 6 months or so. Gotta give props for making a crashdown power that I actually like though, looks rad.
Cyclops rework really is awesome, probably the best so far IMO. Will definetly be spending time on him.

nova to me feels like what a pre 52 hero feels like, he also feels like a vanillia gambit.
nova was probs finished pre release or some what after, then they slowly changed few things after they got ok from marvel. but for me i see him getting many changes down line.

Yeah, I'll obviously be raiding on Psylocke, but my next character to level is Cyclops. I've held off on him for his review.
Heck ya broski! We should hang out together

I went all the way to 60 and when I mentioned it, everyone was like "damn, good work, that's a hard slog" but I have to be honest, I didn't think he was a bad character at all. Certainly not in the same tier as Hawkeye, Punisher etc..

Thing is a fun character to play as.
Did this get posted yet?
Data miners found more stuff, presumably from the test center:
All New Marvel Now Armored Wolverine
Classic Nova
Earth X Thor
I'm a little surprised it took this long to get to this Wolverine costume, but it looks solid. Earth X Thor seems fine too. Classic Nova looks crazy weird to me.
Agent Coulson Team-Up Model

Sudden appreciation for Benjamin J Grimm? What is this madness? ...
I'm looking forward to his eventual review. There's not all too much variability in terms of how one can build his powers. However, he's got decent power, lots of survivability, a strong Ultimate and a fun rotation. With the right tweaking, he could become a great character.

All three of these costumes fall under the "would definitely use if I random them, but wouldn't outright buy them" category for me.
Also, this.

Yeah it will be hard to be excited by another Nova Costume when his default is the most awesome one
. Can't understand the people who rather play as Sam >>. Even if you disregard his origin and (A-hole) personality, the costume is just meh and the animations are way worse than Nova Prime. The way he floats, his meele animations, some people just don't have taste I tell you!That's not what she said!
That's what she said!

Anyone know how long the +damage from Power Cosmic lasts? I'm thinking of using Angel for my Cyke's Strike Team support and I'm curious if it would be beneficial to switch to that vs the Bow Legendary I currently have on him. The rest of my build will be all ranged, energy based. Thus, they would be the only proc I have to get the + Energy rating, while the + Physical will always be active. I'd idealy be activating the attack every 8s on CD.
I was going to use Jean since her attack is strong and energy based, which fits with my gearing. However, I don't like how long the attack takes. Scott is left standing there, vulnerable, as the animation plays out. It breaks up my combat flow and puts me in danger. Also, Jean and Beast stick around in the Ult, so you have to wait for it to finish before using a Strike Team attack. I haven't tested this yet, but I'd imagine Iceman and Angel can still be used in this situation (they are only part of the initial hit for the Ult).

Pretty sure it's 12 seconds. 8s would definitely work.

I know they've mentioned a Punisher H.E.R.B.I.E. that was being worked on. Is that for the Daily Reward or is that for the AP2?

sounds like great ultron is the 100 day login exclusive pet
The more DnA era Marvel Cosmic in this game, the better, so I'm 100% down for this.

You'll get the rewards next patch. Aside from the special ones, the rewards are exactly the same on a rotation. Not sure why they didn't activate the ones in the 90s in a prior patch knowing we'd be getting there, but it's no loss.
AP2.

Any plans to do some cow runs tonight? I have some portals I can contribute.
Still need another 200-300 drops >_>

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!
Day 93 for me, so getting close.
Yeah, what's the go with that, I didn't get my daily either...
As you say, one less box for Nova haha, bummer!
Not only was there no daily bonus, but I caved and bought in the hero sale.
And promptly got a hero I already have from the random box. Well now I have an excuse to go back to leveling Colossus, I guess. Not tonight. Figure by the weekend I'll feel less disgusted with having dropped that five bucks.

I've spent a ridiculous amount on this game for, quite often, duplicates haha..
Got all the Heroes now though, so no more BOGOs for me.

Final TC build going up now. Cross your fingers (and toes) Nova fans.
So does that mean minimum of 1 week more till Live?
Frostinferno
Member
It means live tomorrow broski.
oh haha ok
So they only give one day before a TC build and Live? I've never installed TC or played it
Frostinferno

The day before the patch goes live they put out a build to see if there are any major outstanding bugs so they can fix them. If the game isn't completely ruined, they'll just release that version of the patch.
