Marvel Heroes coming to PS4 and XB1 in the form of ''Marvel Heroes Omega''

I couldn't agree more than the raising of the splinter costs does hurt things. I've played maybe 10 hours in the last 2 days and already i've gotten Iron Man, War Machine and Rocket to 60 and Magick is 45, she will be 60 before the end of the night. Limiting it to 1 character early on is a bad idea. people are going to hit max level quickly with that one character and burn out before they ever get close to a second character
 
Honestly, I think that dropping the random hero box from pc (175 splinters) is at least as bad an idea as raising the prices. I bought a bunch of those when I was starting out.

Considering the way things are going, they'll bring back the random hero box and increase the price to like 225 or something.

Yeah it's weird that they went from an okay game during the PC beta to a great game a year or so after launch and then slowly reduced it back to a bad game again
 
I really want to know what founder's pack means to Gazillion. You get a character(s) that are already available, or in the near future, and some Gs that are now worth less after the closed beta. So what exactly are we finding? That the company likes to milk the Marvel license and its user base for all its worth in the console market space now that the PC community is dry?

Beware, several characters got destroyed by hidden nerfs in the update. Gambit is one of them, Punisher signature power is also obviously broken now. You should lurk in the official forum to see which characters did suffer from this.

Heeh, as long as there is this obvious "cash grab" written on it (it's not even subtle), I don't give a cent to this dev.

Not sure if I missed this before but Daredevil is up for free on PS4 in the UK. There's also a free Man Without Fear costume for him if you're a Plus subscriber.

Not on the AUS store, not that I'm surprised. We still only have the Spider-Man and War Machine Founder's packs available.

I'm confused about how this game is monetized. I thought it was F2P on PC but the cheapest pack available on PSN is $20. Is it not out yet or something? Does progress in the "beta" carry over to the full game? Are items and shit stored server-side or is it gonna be a hackfest like console D3?

It will be F2P soon, the founder pack were just a way to buy into the beta early. They haven't said that there will be another progress wipe after the one a few days ago so we can only assume there won't be. I've had characters from the PC beta that still have that progress so there's no reason to think there will be another wipe

I'm not 100% sure about the server stuff but as far as I know everything is server based. I don't remember any hacking on PC but it could have been there. I don't care about PVP (and i'm not sure PVP is even in the console version yet?) so it's kind of a non issue for me either way

What would they have to gain by keeping their user base in the dark with these major character changes? So that players who bought Gambit with real money not be let down by their purchase desicion? If so what does that say about this company?

Everything in the game is server-side. I played a bunch on pc and I don't think there was any item hacking (there was account hacking though).

So do us who already completed the tutorial not get the remaining 125 splinters? Logged on tonight and still had the same amount that I had the other day. =|

Everything since the end of the closed beta has been nothing but a disappointment. I think I'm going to delete the game, and just come back to it in a year or so and see where everything is at.


Or when Bucky is added :p

I think I'm about at the same point which is a shame since I was really looking forward to this. It just seem so far as if the devs plans are to nickle and dime the console audience and while sure they might catch a few whales I believe it will drive more people away then it will bring to the table. It's not a huge deal as there is still a lot coming out that will keep me preoccupied like Tera, but it's disappointing that recent design choices could do a lot of damage to the perception of this game.

bad gameplay lol
This game causes my PS4 fans to go crazy, even when at the patch note menu when booting up the game.

Yep, same here. That along with Gaz's shady-as-hell business practices regarding the monetization of the game is why I'm deleting it. Shame, because I rarely get a game that lets me play as Moon Knight, but while having my favorite character will get me to overlook some of your flaws, it's not enough in this case.

Finally got up to level 60 with Magik.

Now is traditionally the part of an MMO type game where I have no clue what to do in order to get currency to buy things from the vendors at HQ.
 
Unless you're willing to pay for her or do some serious grinding, you can't unlock Jean from the start as she is one of the few heroes that costs more GS than you're given following the tutorial.

Yeah. I bought the Deadpool pack last month because I am a Marvel stan. Seeing how there are some pretty big hiccups, I kind of regret that. Ohwell. It is only $20.

Sounds like I'll go for Jean.

You can if you played over the weekend, you get 400 crystals and an additional 500 for the mixup in pricing giving you 900, which is plenty to buy Jean.

Well as someone fron Australia, it seems I will most likely be avoiding this game now due to the content not being made available to us on the PlayStation store. So far, we only have access to 2 of the founders packs(Spiderman and War Machine) and now we won't have access to Daredevil or his skin that were just put up too.
 
So... I bought the Founders Pack to play as Gambit. And immediately they nerf Gambit, so that he is virtually unplayable.

Not the way I wanted to start my first impressions of Gazillion as a company.
