Isn't that retarded? Random box shouldn't contain free heroes. If that would happen to me after farming spliners for days I would uninstall the game right there. Seriosuly, things like that give them so shitty PR...
Random boxes: Colussus (which I got the day before hero drops were phased out), Black Panther, Hawkeye, Hawkeye, and Luke Cage (figured I might as well take advantage of the random being set usually high for LC). So yeah, I won't be doing randoms unless it is a Luke Cage scenario where the random is highly likely to be the newly released character.

Starter: Scarlet Witch
Free with defeats: Thing, Storm
Hero Drops pre-splinters: Daredevil, Storm
Splinter Random boxes: Black Widow, Cable, Cap, Hulk, Jean Grey, Thing
Bought: Deadpool (Presale in beta $5 different between money paid and G given to me), Cap ($6), Human Torch ($9), Iron Man ($20 w/ costumes), Miss Marvel ($9), Rocket Raccoon ($9), Squirrel Girl ($15 w/ costume), Wolverine ($6)
I've been satisfied with what I've gotten so far and I think the splinter system is fantastic. I just don't have the self control to skip a random box THREE TIMES to get to Spiderman, though. : /

I started with Storm. Got Scarlet Witch and Thing from story quests (pre-splinter patch).
Then I randomed 4 times and got: Colossus, Hawkeye, Daredevil, Black Panther.
I consider myself lucky to not get any dupes, but as luck would have it, I ended up collecting all the starters. I probably scrounge up enough splinters for a hero I like, then keep randoming until I get 10 heroes for the synergies.

I didn't realize you could get Cosmic versions of medals. I was doing the prologue on Heroic to get the rewards and Living Laser dropped a Cosmic version of his medal. Stats aren't great because it's sort of low, but it DOES have +2 to all powers, so that's neat.
E: I just read the patch notes. 20% of RR shield gets used now instead of 20 points? Ugh...That sucks.

Would someone on the test severs please post images of the Legendary items? I have yet to see any of them besides the Excalibur one that was leaked earlier this week. I wanna know if how desperately I'm going to grind Odin marks.

Legendary item vendor isn't up on the TC yet. It'll most likely be in Tuesday's build.

Anyone have suggestions for leveling alts quickly?
Also, can someone explain X-Defense to me? I want to go give it a shot, but I don't want to be that guy who makes my group fail, ha.

X-Defense requires 5 players, it's not meant for solo. It's basically just like Horde mode from FPSes. Fight waves of enemies that get progressively harder.
Personally I just do the story until level 5 or 10 (to unlock some Powers). Then I do MM with XP buff items until 30. That's the most fun way to me because I like MM a lot more than X-Def. I can do MM for a few hours without getting bored.
At 30 I mix in Legendary quests with MM.

X-Defense still has no auto grouping?
There is, but apparently it's kinda buggy sometimes? Never tried myself yet.
No other way, and this really pisses me off. This is one thing I really hate.
Meh, that sucks. I can take costumes as rare drops, but sinking $100 into the game with the probability of not getting it is just stupid and the worst kind of money grab. I thought we were past that with these guys. I guess not.
In other news. The only thing I don't like about Iron Man is that he's almost too good /1updude.jpg
But seriously, I know people bitch about God Blast and Thor (who is my main), but Iron Man melts shit just the same. I'm having fun at least.

My favorite experience in game so far has been playing squirrel girl in her first week and her squirrel pets not properly despawning. It was simultaneously augmenting my play experience by being a walking swarm of death and trolling other players by grinding their systems to and halt.
It was kinda glorious.
I've only ever gotten 3 costume drops in the hundreds of hours of playing this game. And 2 of them blow. Does the drop rate for costumes magically go up at 60 or something?

So when they added the Prologue 100 Splinter reward, did they grant that to those of us who played prior to that? It's been a while, so I don't remember if I ever got a reward outside of my dupe hero or not.
I don't think you can get the splinters if you already got your "reward" before the patch. I'm assuming it's essentially the same quest as before, just the quest reward is different.

Nope, since we got 2 free heroes for doing the story.

Bullshit. Give me splinters instead of a dupe hero.

Have you tried his frost tree with his late game skills (particularly Cold Snap)? They seem like they would make the tree more viable, but I'm curious if they're enough.
I haven't yet. They are doing a pretty large round of changes on Loki tomorrow so I might stream some testing of various builds after those changes are in to see how everything is shaking out.
Just have a hard time imagining his Sorcery or Giant's Blood trees keeping up with Mischief due to the Mischief being able to further scale off pet damage modifiers. It's a pretty big advantage.
Nothing set in stone yet and don't know when it'll happen, but yeah, they are planning to make some changes.
In case you haven't seen it, here's the dev post:

From the official forums, more information. A lot of positive things. 300 is still a lot but the decrease is much appreciated.

So I'm leveling Thor...He's now 15, right? I managed to craft some armor that had God Blast level 3 on it at level 6 or 7. As of now, I've decided Thor is OP. At full Odin Force, I'm critting for 45k at level 15. That's stupid amounts of damage at low levels.
It makes it SUPER hard to go back and play my not-OP heroes.

Thor is definitely broken OP
Made a quick T4 red Taskmaster run on my 60 Loki on TC, if anyone's curious as to how his Mischief build (illusions) plays at high level:

Moused over gear at the end so you can get an idea of how sloppily geared I am on TC; so much room there to make him even better. Also show a few of his uniques that I've picked up (not including a level 60 version of that helm that is outright worse in every category except defense somehow).

Yeah been watching you stream and Loki does look pretty cool. Any idea on how a frost tree spec would do? I've always loved ice effects, may try to run that on him for fun.
I think Giant's Blood is struggling a bit right now, especially compared to Mischief. We'll see what they do in tomorrow's build as a lot of the changes in today's didn't account for a fair amount of feedback on that stuff. That said, I think Mischief may wind up coming down a bit too. It's a pretty cool spec idea that's meant to play at mid/close range, but I think it needs both more damage and mitigation at the moment. It'll probably get the most buffs between now and when the patch goes live (supposedly Friday or possibly Saturday).

Interesting, it looks like they made the size growth part of the damage rating cosmic proc into a speed boost instead.
Pretty cool. Damn, may have to buy him now.

Are Group Challenges worth playing yet?
Last time I tried, the boss was invincible, which made the whole exercise pointless.
