I don't suppose pets show up as offscreen bubbles? I'd be really sad if I missed one, but I'll never know anyway.
ive gotten that one too (in fact its the only pet drop I got), also dont give a crap about it :/ or any pet really, it always breaks imersion in any game in my opinion
I don't know, I've always noticed them on screen, but I assume they do. Heck, runes have it. They look like little boxes (similar to Uru items) but they don't have the glow, or at least they didn't when I found them.
I'm a Runaways fan so I want that one - given all the immersion breaking elements in the game (5 Iron Man on screen at the same time) at least it's possible to have Old Lace follow you in the comics, as opposed to a tiny Vision or something
Ahhh, I suppose I shouldn't complain about 2 of 3 being awesome!
Have they said if they are going to call her Sue Storm or Invisible Woman?
LOL, that is true but also what makes her funny!! You definitely don't want every female character like that, but having one is fun.
Invisible Woman, as it should be
Game is gonna be even easier with them
I've been championing making the game a lot harder since last year.
But I don't read the official forums... have you guys seen any specific dev comments on the subject?

Runaways are awesome! I wonder if they'll ever consider Nico or Karolina Dean
Just curious, you don't like characters names such as Sue Storm comparable to Kitty Pryde, Jean Grey, etc??
I would never call the latter Marvel Girl or Sprite, etc... not a big deal, that's just me.
you keep doing that comparison to jean and kitty, while I compare it to calling Ms.Marvel Carol Denvers or Human Torch johnny.
Also, Jean hasnt gone by Marvel Girl in...how many years? not even when I as a kid reading comics she went by Marvel Girl, you could at least say Pheonix. Same for Kitty with Sprite (by the way, devs say Shadowcat will be in the game...not Sprite, not Kitty).
Sue has always been the Invisible Woman. thats her Fantastic Four name.
edit: also, I actually DO like calling them by their real name, makes me feel...inside-y (lol) and Ill probably call her Sue most of the time like I call Ms.Marvel Carol, but I think that they should be called by their Superhero name in the game

Yeah, it does depend on the character.
Personally I would never say Phoenix for Jean Grey either. Always JG.
Also I actually call HT by Johnny usually lol, I don't particularly like the name HT.
For Ms. Marvel I go either way, half Carol and half MM.
I would be VERY surprised if Gaz does not use the name Kitty Pryde, that would be news to me. As another comic fan last page said (Red?), everyone calls her Kitty Pryde.

The Mighty costumes are cool looking but they appear in maybe four panels of one issue of a horrible event series.
HOOOOOOOOOOOLY shit what a nasty bug lol
just went to remove the visual effect from a hank pym growth syrum on dr.strange... it turned it into a advanced cyttorak gem...bound to ironman LOL
which was the last artifact I removed the visual effect from, days ago. it basically copied the last artifact I had removed the effect on, just checked my ironman and he has the exact same one. Imagine if I had lost a shrinking serum!

Wow that's really weird
slightly bummed because it was my highest health (unused) pym, oh well, at least its a growth which arent that rare
Finally got Strange to 60. That was as enjoyable as I imagined. The boosts and events helped a lot as well.
I'm still not sure on a build, and leveling I got to the point in which I had a full bar and powers all the way from F1 to F5. Insane. It seems Astral Projections + Daggers and low CDs is pretty powerful, but I don't really want an illusions build. (Plus they are going to fix the bug soon enough).
Dreamwalking looks like such a no-brainer passive too, together with Ancient Training due to how squishy he is. That fact makes Shield of the Seraphim look kind of enticing but I think his squishiness actually has the opposite effect: he's going to be low on defense/hp anyway, so damage negation and health recovery don't look like the best deals when you can prop up damage by so much more. Crimson Bands and Orb of Agamotto are kind of the weak links imo, although vulnerability is always good.
In the end I'm probably going all AoE + shotgun build, with Flames, Vapors, Seven Suns and Maybe Demons of Denak.
All in all, he came out splendid and so much fun.

Did you report it? That's a really scary-sounding bug.

Yea i'm surprised they are popular and with the high price tag on them too.
I made a thread on the crafting/item bug forum, didnt know what else to do

Had an awesome night running around with Hulk.
Went from 22 to 45 just doing Midtown + LQs.
Got THREE uniques for Hulk. All different as well. So lucky! Especially after the last week of getting only one (and an any hero one at that). Couldn't believe it. Running no boons, and three legit character-specific uniques. Stark contrast to the penta-boost/RIF/SIF weekends when I get squat haha
Hulk kicking some serious arse now. So good for clearing out mobs.

What are Mighty costumes?

So the good guys to fight the hammer wielding bad guys called the worthy, got armor and weapons from Odin that are very glow-y and they then referred to themselves as the mighty. So wolverine, hawkeye, black widow, Dr. Strange, etc. all became "the mighty".

Noob question; Is there a quick way to use the 2nd and 3rd "hotbar" for powers?
I haven't really needed it up until I started using Iron Man (where it seems like he has 20 powers I want to use), but I feel like I'm sacrificing others.
Can you hold Ctrl, or Tab, ~ or something to then get the second/third ASDFGH powers?

Is that the Fear Itself series, or a different event?

That's Fear Itself.

For me I just press 1, 2 or 3 to access the different power bars.

You can try this too but it involves messing around with the .ini file. I have not tried it myself, but I probably will eventually.

(and of course Doomsaw commented on the post, making it clear that eventually they will add more keybinding options officially)

Oh yeah I like her as a character, but in a game? Not really seeing what she could offer over say Dazzler.
I mean she has Fireworks....and that's about it. No agility or fighting ability. No tactical awareness or leadership ability.
I mean I guess they could add a skill tree for Vampire stuff...but that was one of the worst arcs in recent Marvel history IMO so I would rather that just be ignored.
If I designed her the second tree would just be a series of resurrection CD powers where X-Men come in to save her and stay for a bit. Lol
No idea what a third tree could be. Bad 90s Fashion? ;p

Thanks inanutshell and xrayregime.
Probably gonna try the ini edit.
Reckon I only need a few more slots.

I guess he was too late here...
Based on Jubilees jacket, I guess this was a Sabretooth thing :O (or just a fan art one?)
In other news, I played Deadpool for quite a few hours last night after a loooooong Deadpool break and really had fun with him. I found 2 Tyr runes in Midtown as well.

I was super noob fresh when I played Deadpool, so despite getting him to 60, I feel I never got the best out of him. Never was happy with my ranged build either.
Fully intend on going back to him either to prestige or maybe when that rumoured paragon thing comes in.
I did enjoy him, I just felt I didn't get the best out of him. And being my fav character, I need to play more.

No. People have been asking for her a lot (particularly cause after Magneto and Juggernaut, she's the third-most popular Brotherhood member), but I don't see her happening any time soon anyway.

Lol, besides them as they're known well outside of the thunderbolts comics too while Songbird and Moonstone are more well known as members of the thunderbolts.We already have a few Thunderbolts.

There's different instances in which the game can place you for each hub area and dungeon.
Wait. What? I don't quite get this...
Most levels have several different layouts where the map can be a whole different shape with locations in different places. So you would need around multiple maps per level then you would have to identify which version you had at that time.
You don't really need maps for this type of game. It's just like Diablo, maps are randomized.
Red Arremer

That is not quite correct.
But which layout is picked is randomized =P
