Yeah, considering how many dropped players and such we had, we did very well. One-shotting the Sisters encounter was nice, especially because how undergeared a few members were (we should have wiped on Monolith if it wasn't bugged).
Surtur is something else though. Making up another 20%+ worth of damage isn't all that easy. That said, it was a good run.

marvel heroes is on one of the big slides on steam store 
Yeah had great fun on the raid before I had to go last night (in-game is Admodieus). Hellfire and Brimstone fight had a cool mechanic I thought.
There's a number of factors involved including spec and character choice, on top of gear. From what I've read it's generally accepted that if you can kill that 60 boss dummy in under 15 seconds you're totally fine.
I haven't seen any difficult mechanics, it's more about if you can get people who put out enough damage. And if you're not picky with what heroes you bring then you need to be picky with gear. I don't know why this game has hard enrage timers on the 'green' raid but that's the way it is.
I personally wouldn't set foot in a raid without 4 blessings, a maxed legendary and a good enchant. I don't want to be that guy that other people have to make up for. That said, despite having 2 (soon 3) raid-ready characters I can't find a raid group that will take me without joining their supergroup. And the GAF SG was totally dead for the week I spent in it so I went back to the one I was in with my friends.
It's what we did last night, I think.
tho it wasn't planned, Southwark/Admodieus said he wanted to raid and we kind of organized around that (almost leaving him behind in the process so you can see how improvised everything was). We could set a soft schedule for raids so people can raid more without pressure.I think if we have, like, 7 very solid characters, the other 3 can be just all right.
What I consider "just all right" is at least rank 3 legendary (which I didn't have last night) and 2 blessings; on top, of course, to all lvl 60 uniques, a nice runeword, enchants and so on.
In graphics settings, uncheck "Allied Power Particles". I always play with this off, much better.
Nah blessings are not mandatory. But you should definitely have a Legendary item, ranked up to at least two or three. That's much more important.
We did a guild raid last night, and we had two bigtime experienced hotshot Raid Leaders (Sblgrlgrrglah and Blank). They helped explain everything to the rest of us, who had never done it before. And we kicked butt as a team for the first time casually, so you can join our guild raids too.
I was online when I saw the message that you left the SG. There were like ten other GAF members on at the time, lol
For the past couple weeks, during normal primetimes it seems like there are at least 5 to 15 of us on at a given time. So I'm not sure what you mean by totally dead.
Now if you mean guildmembers doing activities together, I might give you that. Most members don't chat very much and just solo themselves. Usually I'm the main person trying to guildchat and stir up talk, but even then some other members don't seem to like that very much =P

Yeah I just got Storm to 60 so I wanted to try out the raid and see what it was like. Unfortunately I had to leave part of the way through, but it was pretty casual and a good learning opportunity.
I really need to find the runes necessary to get Bowazon on my Uru Gear, though.
hey bud, were you Asmodeus in the game? if so where does Asmodeus come from??
My in-game is Admodieus, I made it when I was younger and it was originally a mis-spelling of Asmodeus, who is a character in the Ghost Rider universe
http://marvel.com/universe/Asmodeus_(lord)
sweet!! I'm gonna call u Asmodeus, kool name
i'll trade u
To me, that's a silly metric to measure things by. Yes, all the fights are a DPS race but if you're dead, you're not dealing DPS anyway (and costing your team a valuable resource... deaths). Any mid-geared surfer can hold down a button on a target dummy, that doesn't mean he'll be totally fine in a raid setting. If he's slow to act or improperly geared (I kill dummy in 15 seconds, then run out of spirit... yay!) he's worse off than someone who won't be dying, won't be out of spirit, but has a 16-20 second time.
The prolonged endurance dummy tests (2-3+ people in room) are at least more accurate DPS tests, but still not a measure of competence.
Unless I'm running with the WORST possible geared players in the world, DPS is rarely the problem. It's always people dying. People will blame gear/spec and not play ability because it's something that can be easily pointed at and say "that's what's wrong!" not the guy who's dying 10+ times to Surtur bubbles. I'm not trying to say DPS doesn't matter and go raid in your green gear or anything, but 9 times out of 10, what's wrong with a group isn't the DPS it's the poor playing.
You should add me to your SG!
Think I'im gonna try more cosmic boxes today since I'm super bored.
Word of warning about that. The green circles you have to cluster up don't show up with that unchecked, so you have to remember to be clustering up with everyone if you want to have that turned off
what green circles? I think that setting only affects other players, not your own graphical effects
they never fixed that? wow....
Boss puts a green arrow bubble thing on an ally, everyone needs to group on the person it's on. But since it's a buff/debuff on an ally, ally particles being off makes it not show up. They said months and months ago that they could make it universal so everyone sees it, like a Juggernaut charge but apparently that never happened.
Oh I never noticed any green circles in the raid last night, lol

On my Strange I use Doc Ock Arms in slot 2 and Cerebro Remote Interface in slot 5. Your artifacts aren't great either...if you can't find something like a danger AI chip or mental focus headband, try and get some +1 to stats artifacts like a metasensory array. Strange benefits a LOT from that since he uses so many offensive skills.
I can't add you if you don't tell me your damn name
also I got one of those boxes and it had ghost rider and a galactic guardian boost in it.

Had an absolute blast with Iron Man this weekend. Starting to gear him up a little bit, but straight out of the gates, with average gear, some level 40 uniques and mediocre artifacts, he was streamrolling Red Kurse and holding his own in Cosmics!
Tried some Cosmic Kurse with the missus last night, her with Ms. Marvel and we stomped Kurse as well.
Loving this Iron Man review, it's great. He feels extremely well-rounded now and very, very enjoyable.

Sorry I missed that Raid invite, Kepow. We ended up going to see Guardians of the Galaxy last night.

Yeah, absolutely brilliant. One of the best Marvel flicks yet IMO.
Personally I thought it was waaay better than Avengers. Such a good movie. I already want to watch it again.
Hey guys n' gals:
I've just started getting back into this because I have wanted to play something Diablo-esque lately. It doesn't run super well on my Surface Pro but it runs well enough to play. I have 1250 G right now and I want to buy a new hero (I've been rocking Thor for a while but I want to try something else).
So my options are:
Star-Lord, with the Groot team-up
or
Rocket Raccoon (or Ms. Marvel maybe), with a Cosmic mystery box and a Fortune card (or two?)
What's the best way to go? I haven't really played this much since last year.

We were saying last night that we can't wait to watch it again too. Missus isn't even up on all the GotG stuff, but still thoroughly enjoyed it. She only had a few questions for me on Ronan, the Nova etc, but still completely loved it as a space caper. Lots of warm moments too that I wasn't really expecting, and they did the origins stuff really well, considering the short amount of time they had to cram everything in there.
Will own day one on Blu for sure.
There's a "wooshing" sound and a message appears on your screen telling you when the green circles are there. I play with it off so I never see circles unless they're on me.

Star-Lord was a lot of fun, but personally, I found him a bit tricky/squishy early on. He beefs up and gets really fun at 60 but I had to do a few re-specs before I was really happy with progression, especially in the 20-40 brackets.
I haven't played Rocket yet since his 52 review, but, coupled with the tweaks he had last patch, is supposed to be good fun now. I'll play him again soon for a prestige level or two.

I played only summoner Rocket since his review, so I haven't tried gunner build (I do wanna try that tho), and he's really fun.

How's everyone going for Worldstone pieces?
I think I ended the weekend with about 280 pieces, and didn't really play anywhere near as much as I normally would for a big event like this.
Did one run of Doop Space Nine with my Supergroup. Daaaaaamn, it was awesome. Great fun. And SO much loot. We were all cursing for not taking along a holo vendor though haha..
Seems like a lot of "long-run" stuff seeping into MH now. 2000 pieces for the Doop Pet alone.. Wow, going to take me ages to get that, but I am really looking forward to having a Doop running around with me!

15 seconds really? Maybe I should try my Strange. I can kill the boss dummy in about 10-12 seconds (without ultimate of course).
