Tried them both out on T2 Red Doom last night. With the 79% Def. Pen. weapon I was hitting Doom for 500 more damage per swing.

Wow, that's VERY impressive. I guess def pen has it's place! I think the real thing to figure out is what enemies have crazy high defense (as to make the most use of def pen weapons).

There some kinda post about these?
Just what was quoted in post 3443, no details yet. The TC is back up but the build currently on there is just the one for the maintenance patch coming in the next day or two. After that they'll probably start pushing some of these things to the TC.

For those of you with lower end PCs or if u just hate Hulk and Thing shaking your screens, the following allows you to turn off other player visual effects. You can still see all of your own though, as per usual
1. Open the MarvelEngine.ini file (backup first, just in case you change your mind later)
mine was in...Documents\My Games\Marvel Heroes\MarvelGame\Config
2.Change the following to read as... AllowOtherPlayerFXOnPowers=False
A guy named Neoroory posted this in the tech part of the official forums and it works really well.
Busy boss fights in Midtown are no longer slideshows for me, plus I can actually see where the boss is.

Yea gonna need to try this, as it's almost unplayable at times lately. I wish they would add more depth to the sliders and effects on screen, as frankly whats in the game doesn't seem to do much of anything.

OK, I love this game, but why the FUCK is this not an option in game? Why should we have to go into an ini file to make the game playable?
Well to be fair, I have a high-end desktop PC and I don't need to do this to make it playable.

This line kinda goes with any PC game ever.....

People have been complaining about other player FX since the game launched and how it makes stuff like Limbo and other parts of the game unplayable. There is a slider to adjust it but it seems to do next to nothing. A simple toggle that fixes what folks have been complaining months about?

this game is unreal 3 right? Do the usual ini tweakeries work?

The thing is, I have a great machine, but not great enough to see 8 Human Torch fires or Thing and Hulk shakes. Give me the option to make the game playable for someone like me (like other games do). That's all I ask.

I have noticed a significant amount of interest in disabling other players effects, so Im not sure why the option wasnt included in the games UI.
Either way, the ini edit only takes a few minutes. I think I was very lucky to stumble upon that post though. It really has made the game a lot better for me.

The changes to Midtown are awesome. I'm looking forward to that.
E: I just did a bit more Midtown. Since hitting 40, I'm in the new bracket. So many Hulks just tanking the shit out of bosses. Rad.
Unrelated, randomly while playing, my game will minimize and I'll be at the desktop. I'm on Win8 if that helps diagnose this odd problem...It's super annoying, though. I'm not hitting anything in particular. Could there be some weird keystroke event that I'm triggering that brings me to desktop?

I'll have to check into it a bit. It's SUPER annoying and seems to happen at the most odd times.
My question from before stands on Cube Shard farming...If I complete a terminal on Rocket Raccoon, can I do the same terminal on Torch and get a shard? Or is it limited to one per account? I REALLY want that damn Bovine recipe.
1 per account per day.
You can earn 18 shards per day doing Green and Red terminals.
At least now you can turn in more than 10 shards per day for a fortune card.

GF has the bovine recipe but despite hours of midtown, we can't seem to get any of the required sabertooth medals. Fucker never spawns for us.

I'm in a similar situation. Want to craft a second portal. Sabertooth occasionally spawns for me but never drops his medallion.
WHAT BOVINE RECIPE. I HAD A COUPLE OF HIS MEDAL AND DONATED IT. D:
nicoga3000
Saint Nic
I hope not. I leveled up over lunch. That would REALLY bum me out. Got some decent drops, too.
I recommend hanging on to all Rhino and Sabertooth medallions incase you get the recipe.
The other 3, Hood, Taskmaster and Wizard, are easy to farm.
Wow that blows. Thanks for the notice

PS - no rollback. Farm on!
E: First Cosmic Drop is for Black Widow. Bummer.

Who do you play? I have some Cosmics sitting in my stash that I'm not using.

Rocket Raccoon is my main. I play a few alts, but none that I would consider my second main.
If you have one for RR that doesn't mega suck, I would gladly swap it out for my BW one.

Afraid I've never found a RR Cosmic. I will keep you in mind, however!
No, it was removed in this patch.
Trying to convince them to change it so that the skill works like a canceled version prior to this patch with a 2 second cooldown instead.
Isn't EL what was bugged to allow Hulk to two-shot bosses in MM? That needed to be fixed, it was an exploit

So we get Sabertooth finally in midtown along with magneto and pyro. We kill sabertooth and no medal drops.... wtf
Two different, unrelated issues.
So chase costumes for sale in store?

That's kinda lame. Like the idea of super rare items that you just have to get super lucky to aquire.
I'm glad, honestly. They are introducing a bunch of new item types that can take over this role. I really dislike the idea that the super rare items of this game are not just cosmetic, but the only form of cosmetic that's really in the game besides the little costume effects. It was out of your hands whether the costume you really appreciated the most from the character's comic history was in the shop you could buy at any time or so rare you'd probably never see it in a thousand hours of gameplay. Like, for Hulk I could care less about his chase because it's Hulk 2099; Thor's chase is bar none my favorite iteration of Thor in comics (at least cosmetically). Even worse you have a chance of looting a chase costume for a character you may never even want to play - for all its rarity it may be worth fuck all if you ever come across one.
For the health of the game I think it will work better if the super rare items in the future are things that have value between players.

Another log in a beat sabertooth, again he's not dropping medallions. How the hell are we supposed to make the bovine formula if he doesn't drop his medal. All other bosses in midtown are dropping their medals.
I agree. Hopefully if they ever make a real way to trade between players, they'llake them tradeable.
I think it is a 1/3 chance to get a medal from a supervillain in Midtown since they appear in packs of 3.
