Not useful if they use it to dismiss someone accurately claiming there are performance issues with the game.
Just because they aren't perceptive enough to notice performance issues doesn't mean they aren't there. It's the same as claiming GFWL was a good piece of software because it never deleted your save.

That was only for this new event since everyone flooded to MM after the patch, (I haven't watched his stream after I finished patching my game). Otherwise he used max and it looks very nice. Mrs. Brevik is the same, her Midtown farms with David look smooth with no boss performance hits.
yeah I was joking about semantics
but in all seriousness, it goes both ways. who's to say that someone claiming "performance issues" is correct either?? isn't that just a personal tolerance? is dipping into the 50s for a few seconds really a performance issue in a game? not in my opinion.
So I will give you real world numbers on my system, with the registered version of FRAPS that I usually have running. I play at the Maximum preset, except for two settings (which is strictly just personal preference, I don't like those particular settings even if I ran at 200 fps).
Around 90% of the time in MH, I'm at 70+ fps. Probably half the time, I'm at 90-100 fps. This includes story, terminals, holo-sim. Also X-Def most of the time (but not always).
Now as you probably know, Midtown is a different story. Particularly this week. In specific circumstances, let's say a boss pack of 3 or 4, combined with 4+ human players around you. Then my fps will dip into the 40s and even 30s.
Personally, I still consider that "fine".
Occasionally in rare cases, I have seen it go into the 20s. That's when it starts to become noticeable to me and kind of sucks.
Now to generalize about other games (not just MH) -- I think the GAFers who cry bloody murder if a game goes below 60 for a few seconds and declare it *literally unplayable*...well I think those people are nutjobs and completely unreasonable. Just my opinion.
Well I would want to confirm if Brevik or Degen are truly playing at literally Maximum.
If so, they should provide a list of their computer specs to help players get an idea.
Yes dipping to 50 fps is a performance issue if the hardware should allow a smooth experience. This is UE3.
The stutter is not opinion, it's fact.
It really isn't debatable with software cursor. If the framerate drops in situations that you need that mouse responsiveness, the game has failed on a performance level. If you have ever died to a Juggernaut charge because your game froze as you teleported into the bosses, the game has failed on a performance level.

This shows the moment he went from his usual max settings to the lowest setting for the Midtown event.
If you're in the crowd who thinks 50s is terrible, then we're just going to disagree forever. I will never think 50s is bad or literally unplayable. I've completed hundreds of games that dip into the 50s temporarily.
For Juggernaut/Rhino, I can say I've *never* had MH completely freeze like you're describing. Every single time I've died to their charges during the entire run of this game, it's always because:
1) they charged me from off-screen
2) too many spell effects so I didn't notice the charge indicators
Never because of a complete freeze.
regular drops to 50 on extremely good hardware in a game that only supports software cursor is shit. And I'm sure the drops are more severe than 50.
I regularly see people complain about the game freezing for long periods of time when approaching bosses in MM, this is another case where your personal experience means nothing in the greater picture.
Your last point is exactly an example of you dismissing an issue because you've personally never experienced it.
I'm not going to dispute that, but why should I personally complain about something if I haven't experienced it? It's a fact I have not had it happen to me.
I'm sure there are *some* people who have experienced those freezes, I don't doubt that. However when it comes to PC gaming troubleshooting, I'm sure you understand it's about percentage of customer base that has a specific problem. Every PC game in history has someone complain of a technical issue on their system.
For the freezes, maybe part of the equation is I play it on a SSD drive. Maybe that removes some freezes? I don't know, but wouldn't be surprised. We obviously don't know what exact percentage of MH players regularly experience complete freezes, so it's just speculation. If it's a small percent, then I just write that off to PC gaming.
Plus apparently Degen plays on Maximum and doesn't have issues either, so I'm not the only one.
Your GFWL was a perfect example actually. I never had any problems with it, and actually really liked GFWL strictly because it adds achievements to your Xbox gamer-id account. As an achievements-fan, I'm disappointed it went away.
Is Arachne her own character, or enhanced costume of someone?
team up, it says in the picture >_>
new Alejandra bike
new Magneto model (holy shit!)
old Mags for comparison
Magneto Marvel Now
Dongs Macabre
aka Daedalos42
Marvel Now Magneto looks amazing.
oh haha, got it thanks
50+ or something. not like time in comic books flows like in real life
Mags model looks ridiculously detailed compared to the rest, its almost like its from a different game. I guess when its zoomed out it will blend in, but I "fear" (well, fear in a good way) another Rocket movie type situation where it looks out of place with the rest (at least in my opinion)

Ah okay, 50 isn't too old then. Cool pictures for both the MH models and comics examples!

Well he did get young again somehow...and then he banged Rogue.
Deviantart's take on "Young" Magneto and Rogue!
ah i see
I lose track of all these different packs they've had. Who exactly was in the Team-Up pack?

Uh she was. She's one of those "1 month before public release" type of deals, too.
Beta Ray Bill, Clea, Deadpool-the-Kid, Domino, Havok, She-Hulk, Spider-Woman, Wasp, Arachne as well as a Deadpool the Kid costume for playable Deadpool, and some boosts.
you are correct! whew cool
"Beta Ray Bill, Clea, Deadpool-the-Kid, Domino, Havok, She-Hulk, Spider-Woman and Wasp are all coming to Marvel Heroes as Team-Ups.
This pack also includes 3 exclusive offers:
-A Deadpool The Kid Enhanced Costume for playable Deadpool delivered at least one month before official release.
- A bonus Team-Up Hero - Arachne, Spider-Woman with new powers and voice over, delivered at least one month before official release.
- 5x Team-Up Gear Find Boosts, released when Epic Team-Up Gear launches."
I need Havok bad, I need another X person to go with all the x-men (although technically isnt he an Avenger these days?). My plan is to eventually have every hero with a different team up, all "canon" team ups of course. Im anal like that >_>
Thanks!
But wait, was this part of the Advance Pack too? Because I got BRB and Domino, but I don't think I bought a Team-Up pack.
This is hilarious and the exact reason everyone is wasting their time discussing this. After at least 3 replies still the exact same retort.
I completely forgot they said Arachne would be a bonus in the pack... maybe they throw in a bonus in the 2015 hero pack too (probably just costumes again tho)
last year they sold the hero advance pack, with 12 upcoming heroes and 2 costumes. then a few months ago (early summer?) they had a team-up advance pack, different thing

Ok got it. I might have completely forgotten, maybe I just bought BRB and Domino with splinters. Didn't think so, but now I'm not sure.

Thanks for the website link. I did buy the Team-Up Advance Pack, I completely forgot about it haha.
This site doesn't seem to show Steam G's purchases though, I've bought a ton of those.
those show up on steam
i've gotten wave drops like that but i don't post them because of that guy who got like 10 cards in one wave a few pages back ;_;

Was that the Mega Sentinel. Apparently it has the best explosions. I've had similar boss waves. But it really seems to come and go, don't know if it's just RNG or there really is some sort of timer or something.

Hmm I wonder if X-23 is out in time to be included as a bonus for the 2015 pack (assuming the pack goes up in December like last year), like Ghost Rider was a bonus (im still salty I missed that)
