Bonus time extended, nice. I did get a costume drop finally...even for the character I was using, but it was Cyclops original costume...which is fugly, =)

I know the game is kinda shallow at the moment, end game is repetitive, prices are do damn high, certain bosses with certain affixes are godlike..but I keep coming back...wtf

also heals when injured on Doom is bullshit


but I keep coming back

I can't help myself either and it bothers me.
The problem for me is that I do like the core mechanics a lot.
Zipping around a mob of enemies with quick bodyslide and hammering them all with my cone of death as Cable is just so damn fun.

However, the overall game structure and end-game is just horribly uninspired. Nothing interesting going on there at all. Especially compared to my go-to F2P game Phantasy Star Online 2.

But for some reason, I keep spending money on this game. I am usually pretty damn good at spending little or nothing on F2P games but I guess I am just too big of a Marvel fan.

There's no way to guarantee grouping for the terminals is there? You have to have friends or be part of a supergroup?

I just beat the game and started the Greens and for the first 8 or so I was auto grouped with people and it was cool. But the last couple I was solo and it was just so boring and tedious cutting through all the mobs.

I guess my second question, is there a way to exit a Daily without having to complete it? When I saw I was alone for my 3rd run I just wanted to quit but didn't see anyway how. (Quitting from menu and logging back in put me right back).

Played the whole weekend and sadly only got an artifact and a core.

Browsing forums and found this tidbit:


Re: Please add the keybind for always show item text
you can edit a config file to always show all
1. rebind any key in game so that the config file is created
2. navigate to Documents\My Games\Marvel Heroes\MarvelGame\Config\MarvelInputUserSettings.i ni
3. open it and search for "RevealInteractiblesReleased". REPLACE this with "RevealInteractiblesPressed" (there should be 4 instances)
4. save

you still have to press alt once every time you enter a map though

Artifact and Medal Buffs coming in the next 2 patches
As the Lead Items Designer, I wanted to give everyone some insight into what we are up to.

Over the last 2 weeks, with the help of our new team members, we did a big pass on all the medals and artifacts.

We found about 70 items that were below our power curve, so we buffed all of them.

We found 1 item that that was dramatically above our power curve, so we reduced its power level.

We want players to have a lot of different good options, and to select items based on their play style and build. If someone enjoys pets, there should be viable items to support that build. If people prefer a dodge build, crit build or AoE build then there should be options to support that style build.

You’ll notice that we focused on buffs rather than nerfs at a 70:1 ratio which is what we strongly prefer. We don't like reducing an item's power as a general rule because we know that players spend time farming and trading for specific items.

In this case we decided to reduce Edge of Infinity a little bit, but leave it as a very strong item still so that players would continue to use it, especially in crit focused builds.

Once these changes are all live we will be looking for feedback and continuing to tune them to give players the freedom to choose the artifact that fits them best.

One of the mods/devs (Rockjaw), posted this about the latest patch....

"Bug Fixes

Crafting Recipes

We fixed an issue where some players received Ultimate Pack exclusive costumes from a rank 20 crafting recipe. These costumes can no longer be crafted. All the exclusive costumes have been replaced with a random, non-exclusive costume with the same affixes. (This applies whether the costume is equipped, in an inventory or in a STASH.)"

https://forum.marvelheroes.com/showthread.php/42734-Game-Update-Notes-6-26-2013-1-10-1-147

Does this mean you can make new costumes from a level 20 crafter?
If this is the case, then I will really start having to invest in levelling up my level 10 crafter.

Interesting. I always thought you could craft costumes as they had that idea early on where you could get pieces of costumes as drops, but I thought they dropped that idea long ago. Would be cool if that idea has manifested itself in the new crafting system.

I think the way it works is that you take 2 costumes you don't want and craft them into 1 random different costume. My crafter is just level 10 tho, is I don't know for sure.

the only decent item I've found in my last 5 or so hours of play, was this artifact.
Its the highest level artifact Ive ever found.
I think its more suited for a melee based character, because they get hit alot.
Im a bit sick of Thing, so I'll probably equip it on Ms Marvel.

I've had a great time the last few days just finding people who want to run group missions and do that or whatever else. Did all tier 3 red terminals and the group terminal missions (except limbo 4) with the same group today. 2 retcons off a single boss was sweet, didn't get anything else though.

Ive pretty much given up on red terminals.
I find it very hard to get random volunteers to form a party and then the enemies are MUCH harder and of course, I havent seen any superior drops in there either.
Ive currently got twenty something Cosmic keys sitting in my stash and I dont really know what Im going to do with them.

Tonight must have been core night, had like 6 cores drop for me.

Still no heroes or costumes.

I have a crafting tab filled with cores already, and I donate quite a lot too. They are very common.

I haven't seen a retcon yet in 200+ hours, which is super weird to me.

Glad to help guys, so long as I'm not busy doing anything else I have no problem giving a hand.

Also, if anyone happens to get their hands on that Pym's Shrinking Serum I'd be happy to trade some arts for that.

pretty cool stuff.....

Hello all,

I wanted to give you guys an update, but I don't have the time for a full dev blog today.


Here's some of the things we did today:

1. Worked on buffing many heroes. The focus here was making sure everyone was powerful. We made many small, medium and large changes. These changes will roll out over the next few patches.

Minor Example: Spider-Man starts with +1 more Energy so he doesn't get a penalty to Energy attacks.

Major Example: We made Spider-Man's ultimate do triple damage, penetrate boss tenacity (so they get stunned) and make sure the 100% dodge is working perfectly and correctly.


3. Worked on the Defense issue. Made buffs to a few parts of the game to help this issue and some research into the best solution. This is probably the most important specific design issue we are working on.

Example: Adamantium Skeleton, Bulwark of Steel, Hulk Tough and many more mitigation powers were buffed significantly.

Example: Started work to add % damage reduction attached to the Durability attribute.

4. Made changes to end-game rewards the most fun modes in a greater way.

Example: Increased experience and loot in red terminals.

5. Worked on a smaller new end-game feature codenamed Superhero Synergy for launch in late July.

6. Worked on a 5v5 PVP mode based on our favorite MOBA map. This will roll out in late July at the earliest, late August at the latest.

7. Worked on a new end-game PVE mode codenamed Infinity Gauntlet. Funnest thing ever? You decide.

8. Did a little work on Torch.

9. Worked on floating combat text to make it look awesome and be accurate during scaling situations. More complicated than you may think.

10. Worked on new itemization for end-game players.

11. Worked on new PVE open-world zone.

12. Worked on tech to add health bar (optional) to bosses so you can see what's going on in Limbo.

13. Increased size of bosses by 25% so you can see them better in group settings.

14. Reduced a couple of the most expensive crafting costs.

15. Flintlock pistols.

16. Black Panther tribal hands clean up.



I'll try to post a full dev blog at some point.

Thanks for reading!
