Thanks dude. I will probably give these a look in soon, as Witchblade is sending me to sleep.
Until Gaz put the "Rare to Cosmic item upgrade" back in the game, I have nothing to spend my money on... except maybe the Prestige Iron Buddies

The service is, conceptually, amazing. In practice, it has been a giant piece of crap.
This stems almost entirely from the Android and iOS app being horrible. Constant crashes, poor resolution and transition on the comics, limited functionality...pretty much everything that makes an app bad.
BUT, Marvel just announced that they've updated and fixed it for iOS, which a similar fix coming out on Android very soon. Word of mouth from people using it is that everything is great now. I'm eagerly awaiting the update so I can go back to reading comics on my Nexus 7 again.
If you are interested in giving it a shot, there's month trial for only $0.99 in honor of SXSW, so you can see what's out there. It's an enormous catalogue, and even the new series get added six months after publication. As long as you're okay with delaying your reading that long, the value is unbeatable. I read all my Marvel comics through Unlimited (on my PC, since the app is garbage). Once they fix the app it will be an amazing value.
Agree *100%* with Tragicomedy
It would really be a great value for what you get... if the fucking reading methods were worth a shit.
Both the Android app and PC Browser reader are fucking horrible. Such a shame because the amount of content for the price is great.

I finally hit 60 with the Punisher last night. My altitis had me playing a dozen different characters up through 30ish to get a feel for them, before I finally settled down and went ham on Frank.
He's a really fun character, and he has a passive ability that makes him suprisingly durable. I don't really die on him, although I'll admit I haven't run any cosmics or the like. He puts out very solid damage, and just generally feels different than most of the other characters in the game.
While I wait for Dr. Strange's release, I'll try to push another character (or two) to the level cap. My closest right now are Captain America, Colossus, Jean Grey, and Nightcrawler. Right now I'm leaning towards Jean since she seems to be ridiculously powerful and very easy to play. Stuff around her just melts and I can zone out with a podcast or something while I level her.
I've heard Storm is similarly powerful, but I have her at level one.

He's one of few characters that I don't own, along with Cable, Iron Man, Luke Cage, Moon Knight, and Loki. I'm not super interested in those guys. My opinions of Thing are based on how he was during launch, but he never struck me as interesting. I had more fun tanking on Colossus.
I'm saving all my splinters for Dr. Strange so I don't think I'll buy anyone else prior to that. I have a lot of characters that I've not really tried yet who may be right up my alley, but there are only so many hours in the day.
Thor, for instance, was a ton of fun to play in the beta. I'll play him some eventually. Right now I'm just focused on characters that I've already invested some time into to try and get them to the level cap. Captain America is sitting in the mid-40s, so he might be the best choice.
I want to play with you guys. I will try to be online later today. Hopefully we can join for some fun XDEF.

I am still at 300 splinters and I am saving up for Psylocke. She is still at least two months away so I think I am good. I think. I am not playing much at all as I am busy at work and uni so hopefully there will be enough time to save a 100 more of those.

Ahh okay. I usually got my characters in the order of how much I liked them as a comic character.
Maybe finish Jean since she's really different than Punisher. Plus she's easy to play in this game.

I spent all day playing Thing.
In just ONE game of Xdefense, I found six Uniques!
All of them were for Thing and three of them were duplicates. My team made it to level 33 (no Doops), which is easily the furthest Ive been, as I dont play Xdefense much.
Its just crazy, how easy Uniques are to find there, compared to how hard they are to find in Midtown.

n00b question of the day - 3/12/2014:
I created a new account, and purchased the Spider-Man Hero Pack (since this is my way of playing a Spidey MMO for only $20). Then, I launched the game for the first time.
Being a new account, I was prompted for the initial character selection (Human Torch, Cap, Storm, etc). I didn't think too much of it, as I suspected there was an in-game character management screen, in which I could choose between default starting character and any others obtained through gameplay/purchase/etc.
Sure enough, after the introductory cut-scene with Doom and Uatu, I hit the menu at the bottom-left of the HUD, and notice a 'Roster' sub-menu. Clicked it.
Spider-Man is listed in the 'Roster' - but is grayed out. Along with every other character in the roster; the only exception being Human Torch (starting character).
All the confirmation emails/messages I got from my order of the Hero Pack say that I need to login to my account to check the delivery status. Is something going to be delivered to my house? That seems HIGHLY ineffective. I logged in to my account, and checked on the status...but was only able to verify that I did, indeed, order that Hero Pack.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Did you purchase the pack on the Marvel Heroes website or through Steam?
If you purchased it on the website, were you logged into your account when you purchased it? Did you log into that same account when you started with Human Torch? If you, check your account management on the site.
I have no idea about Steam purchases for this game, sorry.
All else fails, contact customer support. They're pretty good about getting you what you need.

Purchased through Marvel Heroes site, while logged in. Logged in to game with same account.
It's perplexing, to say the least. Might give customer service a jangle once the work day comes to a close.
Oh, and if anyone wants to be in-game bffs:
Heroes: sethmagic
Steam: amso36
if you bought a pack from marvel heroes, i think everything goes straight to the stash. basically, play with torch until you get to the avenger's tower. then go to the stash, there should be a spiderman tab, and in there should be the token for spiderman. could also be in inventory. basically the hero doesn't automatically activate. there should be a token that you right click in your inventory or stash.

The Stash...well, at least my original claim of n00bery is not going unfounded.
I'll check that as soon as I get a chance to login.
(will the hero be active immediately, or is there a level/game-progress requirement?)
new Rocket costume (video)
new legendary for weekend event (special event drop, you dont buy it aparently)

Dayummm... I need that Legendary!
if its like the credit and SIF artifacts, you will be drowining in them

This is very interesting, I love me some extra rif/sif. Might have to do some late nighters at the weekend after work.

Hope so!
I only have one Legendary, on my Jean.
300 Odin Marks takes foreveeeeerrrr to get.
I think I'd just like a Legendary on all my other characters. At least there's some progress being made after level 60 too.

Worked like a charm!
Had to play through Black Cat and Green Goblin again, but that's ok.
From initial impressions, this game is like a Marvel skin for D3 - so...I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy playing it immensely.
Hmm. Not bad. At least they put the most useful part at rank 1. Will be mildly useful for leveling up my lower priority heroes.

That costume is extremely adorable. Too bad I dont really like Rocket Racoon though.
Also, damn @ that legendary. I need that.
Welcome! Hope you enjoy playing it. I will add you in-game.

Sounds like you have to find 3 of the event drops, and then combine them at a Crafter for that new Legendary?
Hope the event drops come thick and fast haha.. My gaming time this weekend will be limited!

This is kinda frightening indeed. I just remembered this is saint patricks weekend. I will probably only play sunday and drunk. Fuck.
I didn't know they celebrate St Pattys day in thailand, lol
lol Thailand.
But yeah, its a party like every other one, just that this one is Irish themed.

Hot damn that new Squirrel Girl costume. If her upcoming changes are good, that's a must buy.
Hoya Destroyer

Yeah, it was pretty crazy.
lol. Is he actually firing out staples, because thats what it sounds like? I dont have RR, so Im unfamiliar with him.
Crafted a couple of costumes.
1st try got Squirrel Girl Aviator costume, which I already owned. Bummer. Put that back in the blender and got this:
Eh.
I paid 10 bucks for that outfit. Its the best outfit in the game, after Emmas Phoenix one. Congrats

I'm really hoping there is a free Rocket promotion like there was for Thor around when the movie came out.
Agreed. Wasting space

Thanks for the info!
I think I'll try the trial month and then wait and see how the updated app is. I wish the would use the same one they have for their other digital comics, that one is amazing.
Nightcrawler makes 16 out of 30, just before the server goes down. SH Loki killed without dying too, which always feels nice. I ended up really liking NC, one of my faves really, after being very meh on him at the 30ish level when I first stopped him. Same with Moon Knight really.
Unfortunately I dont see the same happening with Human Torch who I think ill finish up next (hes 39). Then start on Gambit (one of my few lvl 1s, and my last non-60 52review) until Black Panther / Dr.Strange with the patch. Sounds like a plan
