Hopefully they will realize people spend more when the prices are lower.
Bought Scarlet Witch, Daredevil, Black Widow, and Cyclops.
Got Ms Marvel, Colossus, and two dupes. Not too unhappy, I'll take the free $18.00.
Probably stop for now, though part of me wants to jump back in one more time...
edit: ok got Cable and got a Hawkeye dupe so im done, gonna save the rest for Nova when he comes out I think, and I need to save some heroes for splinters also or I will have nothing to buy with them (except ultimate tokens). All in all, 2 dupes out of 5 (out of 7 if you include the 2 random boxes from splinters) is pretty good I think, so ill stop playing with the RNG gods now.
I bought a Hawkeye just because he was the only 450g hero I didn't own and I got a Hawkeye token as my freebie. Yep.
What are runes?
Wow! I bought Black Widow Thunderbolts Costume and I got the Thing: Fear Itself Costume.
Another teaser. Domino! Hell yeah.
That's what I'm wondering. Perhaps they're like the Diablo runes.
Nowhere in the ads for the promo did it say you could get the same hero you bought. I'm like 30 of the eternity things away from just getting Storm that way, if I would have known I wasn't guaranteed to get 2 heroes I would have just waited. Total waste of money and hardly free. I feel like I was shammed into spending money on a hero I would have just gotten in a few hours anyways.You know what the word random means, right? Also you know it's basically a free bonus, right?
If you had bothered to read the FAQ on the promotion page you would have read clear as day that you can get a hero you already have. I bought two heroes, and I got duplicates of heroes I already had from both of them, but I wasn't mad about it because that is always a danger when approaching something that is random. Also, how were you "shammed" into buying a hero?Nowhere in the ads for the promo did it say you could get the same hero you bought.

You're right, it says "two for one", but right after that it explains that you will get a free random hero. Nowhere does it say "random excluding heroes you own". You made an assumption that that it excluded heroes you own. I'm sorry that you got kicked in the ass by the random gods (so did I, twice), but that doesn't mean the developer tried to mislead you on the promotion. Also, it's not like you get nothing for it. The extra Storm token can be used to upgrade her ultimate ability when you unlock it. Sure, that isn't as good as another hero, but it is better than being left with something that you can do absolutely nothing with.
To be honest Gaz is making shitty decisions with such promos. Would it be so hard to turn off that possibility of receiving a dupe during such a sale? Isn't that a point of promotion to make people feel good about game and at the same time encourage them to spend more money? They really need to learn some basic stuff regarding things like that... I know that it's the last time I bought anything in such promo (also got dupe ). In general, I really hate the whole scope of Gaz approach to monetization in MH. Some really shitty stuf there.
Random is random, the clue's in the meaning of the word.
I think the best Iron Man outfit is his Mk III (from the first movie) the rest just seem to have the wrong colors. It's funny because I own about 4 other costumes which are much more expensive but I still like it more. Shotgun is the most disappointing by far. The hues and materials are all wrong.
Mk II is pretty good too so grats on that one. Also, Hoya, I always read your posts about revealing outfits and look at your avatar and I always crack up. You sure love the female figure, don't you? Hehe
Random isn't really random, especially in videogames. Random in vgs is always weighted
Im not a comic book reader, so Im not sure what Ironmans Shotgun armor is meant to look like. In MH though, it does look.. not that great. To me, it looks like a Starwars outfit (which is still cool, but not Ironman enough). Mark II>Hulkbuster>>>Black and yellow armor, IMO.
Secondly, yes I do love the female figure and I hate to see opportunities wasted in video games, where the women can potentially look super hot
The random box pisses another off. I feel your pain. Instead of just 1 storm imagine getting 4 from random boxes, all in a row!
Yeah, figured I was annoying enough with my hatred for random boxes. That's pretty much why. It doesn't help that I'm not a fan of Storm in the slightest.
Random isn't really random, especially in videogames. Random in vgs is always weighted,
Not sure what you mean by this... can you explain?
Holy cow, jeez what are the chances of that! There's about 30 heroes now, so I guess that's 1 in 120 chance for that to happen.
I feel for you, I hate the random boxes too haha.
Someone asked on the forums if there was weighting, and Doomsaw or Ryolnir clearly said "no, there is no weighting."
Also, FC-exclusive heroes? Never. That's too cynical, I don't know why you'd get the impression they'd go down that road.
I shouldn't really be talking about the boxes in particular, mind you, those might still be true random and I don't think there is any way we could prove it is or it is not (so we'd have to believe them if they claim it isn't weighted) but in general, randomness is at least clearly pondered, so there is no reason it should be the way it is now, i.e. kinda unfriendly for new/low hero count people.
Actually, for him to get the same character 4 times in a row out of a pool of 30, it should be way more than that. Calculating the probability for multiple random independent events is multiplicative if my high-school math doesn't fail me: "1/30 x 1/30 x 1/30 x 1/30"
Hmm well I'm not great at math, but to get the same hero four times in a row, wouldn't that be 30 x 4 = 120?
That's less than 1% which is crazy (sorry again Xevren).
Edit: Nevermind, I still think I'm right, but yes, someone with better knowledge should probably shed some light into it. As I understand it, that chance is actually 0.0001%
