I personally don't doubt that he'd be on the board the whole time.

Nova's powers look super different, lol.

Well they are a bit different but they do have some resemblance!
Didn't mean they should make it exactly like that
, but that particular power looks alot like Novas wormhole that he used when teaming up with Silver Surfer to save a planet . Mostly just want them to go all out on the visuals with Nova!The new site looks good, I think this is new: http://mhcompendium.com/. Seems to be their official "wiki". Lots of detailed information.
Confirmed alternative costume for Silver Surfer:
Happy Advance Pack buyer here!

It's actually a fan-made one. It's pretty well kept, but not perfect/completely updated, just a heads up.

I bet they're feeling pressured to keep it more updated now that it's on the main page of the official website. Smart move by Gaz. >

nova has to fit in too they keep saying hes coming sometime this year and im sure they teased around july but im going for when the new act comes
my busted wifi on my iphone didnt let me say this at work, but:
A) cant believe his alt is actually Silver Savage, arguably the most wanted costume (it was mine easily) and
B) hes only 400 splinters, most of us expected 600 (I dont care since I have the advance pack but its nice for those who dont)

What's silver savage from??
Planet Hulk
seems the plan is test server this weekend, release late next week (in the usual thursday/friday patch) if all goes well. Doomsaw said the release was for advance pack owners but I have to imagine its for the store also

OTHER HEROES MENTIONED
Namor - Copyright issues currently
Dr. Doom - several story beats away from playable.
Inhumans - coming in the future.
Nova - "We are still awaiting a significant event to occur before finalizing and releasing Nova. He is fairly close though." They are hoping to add Nova to the game by the end of Summer.
Spidegirl - has been mentioned numerous times.
Gamora - an appearance in the near future.
Professor X - eventually playable.
Wolfsbane - may be playable at one point.
Firestar - Possible playable.
Bishop - No plans in the near future, but will be in game some day.
Nextwave members - anytime soon are unlikely.
Alpha Flight members - None planned to be playable yet. Maybe some will be team ups for next year.
Jamie Madrox - playable 38% chance
Vision - playable 95% chance
Dazzler and Black Cat - playable 75% chance
Elektra and Sunfire - considered for a playable heroes.
Juggernaut - Initial design conception has started.
X-23- Still in development on the side. Research into her Trigger Scent also appears in the Omega System, as one of the nodes in the Neural Enhancement division of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Quicksilver is still TBD on what exactly we can do with him in the game.
Thanos - chance he will be playable 1 year or so down the line.
Agent Coulson - 20% chance playable at some point, but he would be in line behind Nick Fury. Possible Maria Hill enhanced costume.
Wiccan - would make a very reasonable playable hero on his own, with the design goal of creating a significantly different mechanical play pattern compared to Scarlet Witch.
Shadowcat - Chance she will be a playable. He mentioned that she is light on abilities so she's not in the top 10 list for 2015. He stated there were many years ahead of us, so she might not be joining us as a playable for awhile if it happens. Doomsaw has revised his statement about her being light on abilities and now states, she might be awesome! So for all the Shadowcat fans out there it's looking better for you.

Those gifts are rad and plentiful! Of course, the one thing I want is the damn Cow Portal recipe, and that won't be happening anytime soon...
Makes me feel really good about all the money I've pumped into this game (just shy of $200 total). Definitely worth it given how great these devs have been.

The Namor copyright "issues" are a rumor. I know there's some extremely vocal people on the MH forums who run around shutting everybody down saying Universal owns his game rights (especially the guy named DarkBeast), but that's not true.
The whole "Universal owns the game rights to Namor" rumor came together through circumstantial stuff, and none of it was an actual confirmation whether or not.
The things that lead to this:
The exclusion of Namor in Avengers Alliance's version of the Phoenix Five was explained by Playdom (the developers of the game) by saying that it wouldn't make sense to include all 5 characters if Jean Grey was alive and well in the game, and they had wanted to add Magik and not Namor.
Also, a friend of mine talked with the producer of the game at a comic con about it, and the producer said something like "Don't believe in rumors".
Also, the SHSO characters obviously don't extend to MH, as we have Beta Ray Bill as costume/team-up, and Bishop and Forge as NPCs, with Bishop confirmed being planned playable as well. Plus, SHSO has Beta Ray Bill playable by now, as well.
So, to me, there's substantial evidence in Namor not being blocked by copyright issues, but rather the fact the developers of the latest Marvel games didn't feel it was necessary to include him at that point. The rumor about Namor's game rights situation was already very wonky from the start, and I never thought it was legit in the first place.

- Namor hasn't been in any Marvel video game since Ultimate Alliance (2006), despite there being several massive character roster games like Lego Marvel.
- He was on a list of supposed characters that Gazillion wasn't allowed to use in Super Hero Squad Online (among Cannonball, Bishop, Forge, Danny Ketch Ghost Rider, Justice, Beta Ray Bill and Magma), however, that was one single forum post not done by a developer.
- Somebody asked Brevoort (one of Marvel's higher editors/publishers) on his Formspring about Namor not being part of the Phoenix Five in the Facebook game Avengers Alliance, Brevoort's response was very vague, and that "someone else might have the game rights" (never was that an actual confirmation!)
- Kevin Feige confirmed Universal Studios has the film rights to Namor.

Have you redeemed them? Because I think there's a time limit on using them. Both of the ones I tried gave me the error:
"This key has reached its redemption limit and is no longer valid."
Nevermind, I got one to work.

I redeemed mine successfully, tried a second and got an error similar to that. If you check your key history did one go through?

Code didn't work for me.
Nice! thanks for that. I love that you can redeem it via the website too. I'm at work so wouldn't have been able to get into the game client. Wonder who I got

I don't think you even can redeem them through the client. Has to go through website.

Basically what I had to do was go into incognito mode to go in with a clear cache, get the key from the site, and then quickly enter it into my already logged in account. It took a few tries. I think they're giving them out to multiple IPs, and there's a time limit on each code.

Yeah same for me, first worked, second one gave me "This key has reached its redemption limit and is no longer valid.".

Well sadly I'm not 30 yet. I hope the gifting doesn't start immediately and gives me a chance to get to 30. I don't want to miss out on that stuff
I'm about a bubble from 20.
Kinda sucks because I want to start playing Gambit and Wolverine but if I just alt it up, it'll take me forever to get to 30 lol.
edit: damn. looks like I'm not even going to be able to play over lunch unless the maintenance is quick. How long does the maintenance usually take?

I think you have until the 12th, Garath. Once you hit 20, just do legendary quests. From 20-23 it will probably be a couple legendary quests for each level. You get a ton of xp from them.

You'll have a week from today to get 30 and talk to the npc for the gifts.
Oh.. it's an NPC? That's awesome. Thanks guys

Once Legendary Quests open up, you'll fly through levels.
Also, anyone have the passive bonuses for the second set of Team-Ups? I am considering purchasing it, but Magik is just such a sweet passive Team-Up that I don't know if it's worth it yet.
