edit: they made Cable's default size the +1 increase, good on them. Now do the same for other guys like Cap for example
Did they? Or do you just have the unique that now gives a size increase on it?
Spider-Gwen is just a team-up?
costume is exclusive for team up pack holders for one month
One of the major focuses going forward for us is improving itemization, crafting, items, and options. This includes StarkTech for Uniques (including the ability to slot +x to a Power on Any Hero Uniques to allow for more options and customization), changing how crafting materials work, making more viable Runewords, improving old items, a new Omega Tab & other Omega changes, allowing players to more easily get desirable rare items, and so, so much more, the defensive rework (and how it ties into itemization) also accounts for this.
I spent today in meetings for all of these things. We're working on stacking up all that's coming in the next few months, finalizing them, and sharing a plan with all of you. I refuse to share half-assed ideas like days gone by, where the plan changes so many times that it's unrecognizable by the time it ships and nobody is happy.
future things
half of the things ryolnir just listed probs full under that category anyway
Dat Dink drama on the forums. Man, she warps what people say into the most negative things.
I'm going to assume people said the costumes suck (that scarlet witch one is eww) and then Dink was like "i don't want to post anymore i'm sad" and then people will make an appreciation thread.
The specifics don't matter. It's all about that three act structure.
Johnny yong Bosch is the voice of Iron Fist. He will have 5 stances that adjust his skills and their affixes (i.e. Tiger stance adds bleeds to all his moves). You can play him with just one stance or use more than one. They are trying not to bloat the skill bar with him. Will have Shou Lou incorporated somehow, maybe his ultimate but that much wasn't outright confirmed.
Dave Fennoy (Lee everett in the Walking Dead Telltale game) is the voice of Blade. Might have a few movie references in his dialogue. Ryolnir is pushing for an "iceskate uphill" line.
Possibly no AP3 this time, might just be four packs of 3 sold throughout 2016, and only a few heroes revealed at a time rather than all upfront. They still wanna do the pack if they can, but it might not make the most financial sense. It isn't decided yet either way.
When it comes to hero releases, Ryolnir doesn't think any hero "deserves" to be in just because. They want to give the fans characters they want, but also ones that will surprise us sometimes or be fun to play.
Remaining AP2 and Team-up AP2 heroes "not unlikely" to slip into 2016. Black Cat is probably the last hero of AP2 (according to Ryolnir). Magik will come before her as she has been mostly done for a while. Unclear who is after Blade though, Magik or Iron Fist.
Black Cat's default costume wasn't confirmed as far as I could tell, but it sounds like it'll be her "Marvel Now" costume with the whip belt.
Next Rogue costume is 1602. Kitty Pryde is also getting her AoA costume, with overrides so that she uses the claws instead of her swords!!!
Rescue or Agent Venom are fighting for last place to be released for Team-up AP2. Archangel has a model and design but it doesn't sound like he's close to being done yet.
Mr Fantastic is the least popular hero by far. Like it's not even close. Poor Reed.
Ryolnir voted for Green Goblin in the poll. Good man. (We shouldn't make assumptions, but I think he's a safe bet for next year)
Super Skrull is the last boss of chapter 10. Ryolnir would like him to be playable someday but doubts it'll happen in 2016. He's definitely a fan though.
New patrol mode from Chapter 10 is called "Hightown Patrol."
I may have missed it, but I didn't hear any info on Deadpool's 52 review.
I asked the real deal with Namor. All I was told is that Marvel doesn't want him to be used right now. Marvel provides all license users/developers with certain lists of characters (that vary from game to game) that can't be used or that they should steer away from. Gazillion has actually managed to get a number of those characters in already so far (obviously getting Marvel to approve them eventually).
Costumes are chosen by Gazillion about "90% of the time" but Marvel does make recommendations. Ryolnir tries to put less iconic costumes in fortune cards so people don't feel like they are missing out on them.
I want a radically different visual asthetic for a patrol zone, like something cosmic. Looks like we won't get anything like that anytime soon.
Too many players sleeping on Reed. Dude is really strong and fun to play. The comics have ruined him for too many people I guess.
Not happy about lack of AP3, but mostly because I want to know who all to look forward to in the coming year. On the positive side, quarterly character announcements will keep things interesting.
Doop patrol zone! I think an Asgard patrol would be good.
Johnny yong Bosch is the voice of Iron Fist.
Ryolnir voted for Green Goblin in the poll.

Marvel doesn't want [Namor] to be used right now.
lack of ap3 is good tho, allows them to change things on fly due to current events if needed,
the price point for ap3 is probs too steep for many, you split that in seasons winter spring etc and do a 3 or 4 way pack a time i can assure you most people will buy.
this was obviously trial and tested with the team ups and has worked for them, and it makes sense, you see a £100 or equievelant in $ you like oh dam alot but you see £30 or $40 and its alot less etc.
heance why phone contracts are so popular and why xbox did that contract thing with the 360
Making Spider Gwen a one month exclusive isn't making me wish I had bought the pack, it's just pissing me off.
On the plus side, once you do have access to buying the costume, Spidey will be in really good shape and you can enjoy basically a fresh new character.
Dave Fennoy is a good get for Blade imo. He's got a good, deep voice. Not that it matters too much because I usually have the game audio real low but hey.
As for Reed, no surprise. Nothing about his entire aesthetic or character appeals to me whatsoever. Ain't nothing sexy or cool about him. Effectiveness doesn't really enter into it, it's the last thing that matters to me when it comes to preference, unless a character is just shockingly bad.
Also if I'd voted in that poll I'd have voted Green Goblin too. Not sure how he's a hero at all but he'd be fun to play probably.
I don't think Firestar is even close to being on the shortlist. Swap Beast in for her, and I think you're on to something. I also would argue Clea or Baron Mordo have a fair shot because of Dr. Strange releasing in November next year, and Civil War will probably bring Sharon Carter or Falcon.
They better give us at least one GotG character next year.
you just got Kitty, you want more?
A true guardian, not some mutie posing as one. I'd take Agent Venom over her.
This post was so Drayco.
