Thing plays very different from Storm. Try him out!
You're the devil.
Rogue's default (modern)
Hype! Will reserve final judgment for in-game, but it might be one of the defaults I'd prefer to stick with.
Did they ever show off a 90's costume?

Glorious!! :'D
what's he mean by 'normal cost'? I'm gonna guess they'll sell the bundle for the usual price rather than for example what the thor beta ray bill bundle goes for?

I'm actually having a lot of fun with Thing. ;p
Groundpound to back hand to shockwave, I like his rhythm. I also like these pre-review heroes unlocking ults at 30 so I can just faceroll instance bosses with them.
I prefer ranged champs, but even champs like Cap and Spidey were more fun than thing and Colossus, for me. Different strokes.

Thing actual dark horse candidate for best Ult in the game, it's pretty insane.
Also I prestiged Iron Man and he's so awesome now, really fun to level as well. I do have a maxed M'Kraan but I've been tearing through everything. Also the M'Kraan proc one-shots bosses at low levels, lol. I think he's hands-down my favorite in the game now. Incredibly versatile build options as well.

Richard Rider is the original Nova from the 70s or 80s or someshit. He had a series nobody cared about, then came back and was in the New Warriors for a while in the 90s. He is good buddies with Darkhawk which gives you an idea how high profile and popular his character was (I'm only half joking)
The reason people like him is he was basically the main character of the Annihilation storyline from 2006, where he got a massive powerup and was at the center of a huge cosmic marvel event. Everyone loved Annhiliation because it was awesome, it singlehandedly got me back into comics. He wasn't the only old-ass cosmic marvel character they brought back and turned cool around that time, some during the event and some afterwards as a result of said event...the current Guardians of the Galaxy are an example.
Sam is disliked because he replaced Rich, pretty much. His book is alright, I really liked the issues with Beta Ray Bill.
Sam is disliked in the context of this game because almost all Nova fans are fans of the Richard Rider version of the character. So making him the default option was odd. It would be kind of like putting in a Sorcerer Supreme character with Brother Voodoo and having Doctor Strange be the enhanced costume.
I'm a bit concerned at having Sam as the base for other reasons, mainly that his powerset is slightly different from Rich. But since the ult is summoning the Nova Corps I have a good feeling that they'll fudge it enough to make everyone happy.
5!
I don't know. If it's an enhanced costume, my guess is they are not doing the enhanced price like they usually do.

So is their a time to finish the raid tonight? Since if we are, I'll try to get some things out of the way.

Thing was cool at release

Forgive my noob ignorance but what is "prestiging"?
Prestiging is to reset your character's level progress. That is, go from level 60 back to level 1. Each time you do it (you can do it 5 times) your name color changes and you get another copy of your basic costume. You can also buy a certain pet.

Further above, only really an end game thing for a pretty coloured name.
You're far better off getting everyone to 60 first. Having your Synergy XP at 200% also makes a lot more sense before embarking on Prestiges.

What does the extra basic costume do for you?
Frostinferno

Lets you use it for a new set of affixes since you are back to level 1 (and thus may not be able to use your previous costume with a core in it) or blend it with other costumes in hopes for something new.
Me too. Still a bit too expensive for me. Might grab it during a good sale.
Or hope for a lucky random craft. I'd be fine with the black one too. Don't really care for his default.
I haven't done any raiding, but I thought people were saying that it's bugged.
Ha ha, yeah. His "death" animation is hilarious.

Seeing this makes me want to go back to Thing again. However, I finally got enough Splints for Cyke so I'm going to get him to 60 as fast as I can.Thing was cool at release
Question: Should I put a Pot of Gold / Big Kahuna on Cyke or use a "real" Legendary to beef him up for more efficient leveling?
Well, you can add different stats, effects and/or a different core to it if you don't feel like ruining the one you have already.
You can also use 3 spare costumes to craft a new costume thanks to a crafter recipe (level 20), commonly known around here as "the blender". The costumes you use are lost, obviously, it is a costly recipe and you can get a repeat, but hey, it's fun to do!

The Marvel Now MK costume is the best. I had to have it when I was playing haha..
Been a huge fan of the new comic series.

Ah, okay. I doubt I'll prestige Storm. Once I max her out, I think I'll be ready for something different.

Yea it seemed to be bugged yesterday because we were hitting the sisters for much less than a third (since damage is suppose to be split to the 3 of them). There seems to be something goofy going on with the giants giving debuffs and it seems like the dev posts they know about it. I was just wondering if we are trying again and hoping it goes smoothly this time since there was a mention that they keep the instance saved for 28 hours, so we don't need to kill bosses 1-3.
I'm totally fine with not raiding today if no one is up to it. If it happens I'll show up if you need to fill a spot. If it doesn't happen, no biggie. I bought the japan humble bundle and I still haven't touched Astebreed or that one DMC like game with school girls. Either way, I'm playing a game with some japanese chick (Psylocke counts) with swords ¯\_(ツ

I'd be pretty happy with Ultron pet as I still don't have that one yet.
Those 3 characters are the ones I just leveled, all of which are great if that helps matters any.

Member
yeah that's what i was thinking, aside from the crafter vendor pet i guess, but that's not really a pet
i do like having spidey-ham out for his random quips though

Like 12. I haven't even started using runewords yet so yeah. Lol.
Still just messing around and leveling up heroes; not sure who I want to fully commit to yet as a "main" since I don't have a good grasp on scarcity of certain items yet.

Soooo I broke down and got another 10 cosmic box bundle. it was a lot better this time though I think.
got moon knight, dr. strange, and ghost rider. two CapAm costumes (reborn and director of shield), two iron man costumes (mk2 and silver centurion). the other 3 were repeat costumes/heroes, but i also pulled night club iron man from a card so yeah!
i'm a little sad i haven't gotten the thing yet though...

I didn't know you could make Rocket as a starting Hero so I did that.
Turrets are fun.
Lots of loot too, I'm surprise by how many purple I've found already.
