No uniques? Only level 70 legendary? No Uru?
I kind of want to download this version now just to see how different it is.

It's somehow simpler and more complicated all at the same time.
Relics have been reduced to 100 from 1000, but now there are "complete" relics and an entirely new relic currency.
Uru and the enchanter are gone, as well as raids and raid items, but there's 4 entirely new vendors to level with entirely new crafting mechanics. They added a tutorial to the open beta, but it's not exactly thorough.
You don't actually want to donate items to vendors on console, you want to sell everything, use the credits to buy research crafting mats (that replenish every 30 minutes) and turn those in to one of the four vendors to buy materials that level up the other three. This also gets you blueprints that will let you craft some of the PC's event items, like the Armor artifacts. Currently only one of the three vendors has these blueprints in the game though.
There are still at least six different currencies in the game, and at least a dozen entirely new crafting materials.
Uniques are gone, leaving only cosmic items, but instead of physical/energy/mental, there's about 13 different damage types like guns, fire, ice, magic, and claw.
All patrols except for Midtown are removed. Terminals are still in. Danger room is in, and gives merits, but I didn't see at a glance what the merits are actually used for. There is no danger room vendor, unless I missed him entirely.
Some heroes have had their powers retooled specifically on the console version, a lot of cases for the worse. Synergies are still in but many of them have been changed. Bonus XP for leveling heroes has been cut in half. Splinter prices are more expensive and shuffled around. No level 80 legendaries. Another difficulty added before you get to cosmic, and at least one new rarity color that doesn't need to exist. Also it runs poorly.
If it was the closed beta and you unlocked Deadpool using eternity splinters then your progress has been reset, but you will get enough splinters to buy one character after the tutorial.
If it was the open beta period then there is no reset incoming so you will still have deadpool forever.

Those changes are crazy. I understand not having the raid in yet, things like that, but some of those sound Byzantine and arbitrary.

It only gave me tbe 400 splinters for the tutorial. Am i supposed to get bonus splinters or is that for new people. I had bought an xmen pack for the beta before.
There was a character wipe last week. No more wipes from now on.
So it looks like Gaz changed the Prestige system, basically taking away all the benefits you'd get on the PC.
- there's no XP boost. *Correction, you do get a box that includes and XP boost.
- there's no bonus costume.
- they changed the coloring of you name to little hash marks placed by your name, essentially taking away the bragging rights one would get if they Prestige.
So the only benefit for choosing to Prestige are two trophies.

cool thanks,
I'm kind of luke warm to the game so far, chose Magik and am just face rolling everything
The game is extremely easy, more so with certain heroes, on the base difficulty level. You have to complete trails in order to unlock harder difficulties.
Kind of. The biggest difference is that you are only in control of 1 hero, instead of 4.
Yeah, only lvl 14 it so

Go to one of those teleports and choose the TRIAL option then if you finish it you can bum up the difficulty of everything up a notch. It comes with a 75% bonus XP too

Just know that the Heroic difficulty is ridiculously easy as well, outside of the final boss fights with Dr. Doom and Loki. Super Heroic is too tough for anyone that's at a low level, so you'll get through most/all of the campaign before you can even handle that Trail (with the exception of a few OP heroes).
As soon as you hit level 11 you can play the heroic trial (is single player only) to unlock heroic difficulty for all missions, which in turn unlocks super heroic trial to unlock super heroic difficulty etc.
I found normal piss easy like you (playing in party of 2), upping it to heroic is more difficult for us for sure (we just started chapter 4). I have not tried super heroic trial yet to unlock next difficulty.
From what I've read, outside a few heroes like Dr. Strange, Iceman, and Scarlet Witch, you'll need to have the proper gear to beat the Cosmic trial.
Yeah, which seems like it'll be almost impossible without either a set of Cosmic items already or a fairly maxed out legendary item.
The trial leading to the current endgame makes this acceptable for now, but those Cosmic patrols are going to be really empty.
I'm currently leveling up Daredevil and he's kind of eh so far.
No. Can't abandon quests either which sucks if you get stuck on a quest and can't find a certain boss for one of the quests.
For cosmic trial:
I beat Cosmic with Jean Grey with all purples etc., No legendary. Not sure if its suppose to be easy or not with her. It did take me 10 tries or so.
I did use a guide for skills on marvelheroes.info as I had no idea what skills to use.
Also I read that you should try and find critical and brutal damage increase helps.
Also don't go all glass cannon which I initially did. I went more like 50/50 on offense / defense and that seemed to help me beat the trial.
Save your ultimate for the last 5 or 6 mobs that are with red skull I found helped.

Leveling up different heroes for the synergies and since there's not much end game content yet. Spidey, Punisher, Daredevil at 60, with Rocket Raccoon at 52.
Spider-Man is a blast to play just as he was on PC, for anyone wondering. I suspect he's somewhat undertuned in damage, but his animations are fantastic.
Rocket is also every bit as fun as I remembered. I really want to play Blade, but I'll keep working through the heroes from the packs first. Either Iron Fist or Star-Lord next.

Same here, so far I got, 60 Hulk, 60 Daredevil, 60 Spider Man, 60 Blade, 50 War Machine, 50 Kitty Pride, 50 Cpt American, 50 Black widow, 50 colossus.
Cpt america was a slog, he's squishy and average damage output, on the other hand Blade blazes through the content....
Yeah they claimed it was to help players that are colorblind, but that excuses is total bullshit when you realize that the loot rarity system is based off of colors and the game doesn't even have a colorblind option. The majority of players that post on their forum want Gaz to bring back the colored system.
It may be colorbased. But it still says the item's rarity in the description, and you can also sort by rarity.
This may be because of my job where accessibility is always a priority, but I think it's a good reason. A shame though, because I did like colors better, the icon needs to be something less lame.
The simple solution is to do both hash marks and colors.
That sub 30 fps cosmic patrol feeling...
At least the drops have been good
Feel like I'm never going to beat a Cosmic Trial lol

I have done it with Hulk & Blade. With gear straight out of the story mode.
Stay on the move, bring an AOE or two and Mandarin is the hardest of the two bosses. Stay clear from the cone AOE that burns you, that shit does loads of damage and if it hits you I think its 100% death guaranteed.
Also play around with the talents, with both Blade and Hulk I had to change my active skills and Talents from the ones I used in story.
That's my noob(ish) advice
So far I've tried Magik but with her I practically have to kite around everything and leave damage to my summons. I ran out of time before I could beat Mandarin.
I also tried Daredevil who is alright for the most part but I can't handle all the mobs.
I couldn't even beat Super Heroic with Spider-Man lol
Currently leveling up Jean now. Hopefully I'll have better luck with her since she's the one I wanted to play as the most and I finally got enough splinters to buy her after originally buying Magik.
I can afford a legendary item now as I have 300 marks, but I'm unsure what I should even be buying.

So a buddy of mine just started this game and he started with 0 splinters. I started with 500+. Did he do something wrong?
Has he completed the full tutorial yet?
For Toki:
Beat Cosmic trial with Magik earlier, trick is to stay calm all the way through.
Need some decent gear of course. Talents were all in the middle except first one was top one.
Skills I used were Dark Pact, dodge, fangs, brand, signature, and all 3 summon skills. I had a yellow megaterodactyl or something as the custom summon. Not sure if what it is changes anything.
As for more play strats, I took my time, played it safe more than risky. Dark Pact I think can save you from the Mandarin's fire.
Hope this helps ya.
Mika, has your friend played through the prologue?
Fair enough. That would be the best option indeed.

I don't understand how Dark Pact works.
When I see other people use it they summon much bigger demons than the ones I'm able to summon when I use it. Am I doing something wrong there?
Edit:
Oh wow your strategy actually worked. I had no cosmic items and no legendaries either. Not even all purple gear. The soul fangs really helped a lot I think. Usually I'm used to doing melee so it helped a lot just staying far away. Thanks for the tip!
Nice to see you got it. I didn't have any cosmics or legendaries either. I was all purple though.
Dark Pact acts as a damage buffer. So when you take damage, it goes to that instead of yourself. The buffer is bigger when you have more summons out.
Yeah, this setup is ridiculously nice.
I'm able to practically steamroll Cosmic operations with relative ease.
Cosmic Patrol is a whole other shit show though lol

He has.
Okay. Next question just to get an obvious thing ruled out: Is he playing couch-co-op with you, or is it on his own account online?
Secondly, has he checked his 'Deliveries' for any packages containing Eternity Splinters, and after opening them, has he gone into his 'Supplies' tab of the Inventory and used them there?

Couch co-op nothing in his deliveries. So should he solo the prologue?
