If I didn't already own RR and hadn't already gotten him to 60, I'd probably buy it to do my play-through, but as it stands, I'll probably just try his review build out for a bit in MM or some Terminals.

Apparently his animations are a bit different too. I'll try to find it for a bit, I think I saw it on reddit.
Edit: New animations seemed to be new review related and not because of the new costume. My mistake.

Do any other PC ARPGs give the option for level scaling? I feel like that is sorely needed in this. I have a bunch of friends I'd enjoy playing with, but our character levels are never close enough to do so. I wish there was a system in place where we could choose to scale down our stats / levels to play with lower level characters. That way high level characters wouldn't completely overpower all the enemies + it'd be nice if it made the enemies green to them so they could actually get exp and drops.

They're planning to do something like this in the future, actually.
Now that they added extra points, I just dumped them into the seeking bolts move on the left tree. Though the bubble move is not terrible too. ~50k a hit, IIRC 2 times a second?

Nah, she's like Strange and other characters who need to use a multiple skills to deal damage to bosses; SW has no problems dropping bosses like it's nothing.
For my rotation I use: Reality Implosion > Ravenous Binding > Combusting Hex > Chaos Warp.
Repeat as necessary.

Ryolnir mentioned on the test center that the movie costume would get new guns as well (like starlord), dunno what happend with that.
From what I played on TC I enjoyed RR alot more than pre-review (gunner style), mainly due to his new gun options/visuals and the movie costume. Dunno about numbers but they did write this in the patch which is a pretty big give away that he and Starlord were rushed out for the movie release:
Hopefully that also means that they will dedicate some time on fixing them in the next few upcoming patches.
Won't be able to play until Sunday but I'm still hyped!

Can't say I'm overly impressed with Star-Lord so far. Seems pretty squishy and very low DPS early on.

Just purchased the movie outfit for Starlord after promising myself never to spend money on useless cosmetics ever against and ended up getting a Lady Loki costume. Thank you for rewarding my complete lack of willpower Marvel Heroes!
Early on sucks. Still debating how I'm going to spec overall but I love using the nades a lot.

Damn, these cosmics are gonna take up a ton of space til then haha

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I don't think Starlord is actually bad, I think he just needs some of animation/delay weirdness fixed so that you can actually use all your abilities smoothly like everyone else.
I'm still sour on his elemental tree as is. I don't think he's bad either, just feels kinda poo early on. He definitely feels like a crazy spirit hog though.

I didn't have any issue with Star-Lord's DPS through my level progression with him, and I'm at (almost) 40 now with him.
I use the Element Gun basic attack with the wind ammo, and that's the only thing I'm using that tree for. The wind ammo turns the Element Gun basic into a bouncing shot, which allows for a great clear of trash mobs. The initial wind ammo shot also bounces, so you can plan accordingly. I almost never run out of ammo before the wind power comes off of CD.
Otherwise, I'm using the cryo grenade and the spaceship powers, which all deal pretty good damage (and cryo grenade can also freeze).
I had no problem with any boss, whether terminal or Midtown/event bosses, the only times I died it was due to things I'd die with anyone else (i.e. offscreen Rhino/Juggs charge, or unfortunate positioning with multiple AoEs on boss waves in Midtown/heavy damage terminal bosses like MODOK).
That's my only gripe with him - his dash costs way too much spirit.

They changed the other one to just give Constitution. I use all 3 toggles, since I almost never actually run out of spirit with her anyway

Yeah, I think that's probably also the only truly viable build atm. So Gaz def. will want to look at making his other trees more viable. Tho the gravity bomb also seems to be pretty decent, I liked it a lot when I tried it out, had an item that granted it at rank 3 or so. If the pull radius of that one would be bigger (doesn't even have to do damage in an extended pull radius), it could be used so well in conjunction with the cryo bomb and the airstrikes.
That said, they really do have to take a look at his animations and those weird delays. Sometimes the bombs from the airstrikes come out super fast, sometimes they take a few moments longer, sometimes they don't animate at all (neither the targeter nor the blast). And I've run into weirdness with using the wind ammo reloading as well, where it stops me for a second.
Star-Lord has been a lot of fun for me so far though I can't say I've even tried to use his elemental gun tree.
Yes, it is.

What's your in game name, leave it here and someone can get you.
Downloading Marvel Heroes for the first time right now, any tips for a newbie as how I should start?
I'm experienced enough in the genre and whatnot, just more specifics such as character/builds that are good to aim for. Rather not pick something that is nerfed horribly relative to other heroes.
Thanks, will see if I can join up Gaf there too when install is done.

Welcome. I hope you enjoy your time with the game. Well, of the starter heroes, it really depends on your playstyle (ranged, melee, pet/summoner class, etc). You can only pick one, but you will be able to buy more as you play with a currency called Eternity Splinters.
Red Arremer posted some tips not long ago so I'm just going to quote him to you:
Any questions be sure to ask. Lots of helpful people around =D
I'm still relatively new, and all I can say is don't try to understand/learn everything at once. So much of the stuff is for late game/end game character tuning - just pick a character, group with some people, and go to town.
In terms of character selection, I will just say try to pick one that has undergone a 52 review. My first hero was Scarlet Witch and while she's powerful, I found her boring to level. I'm now playing Storm who has undergone a review and has a signature move and she has been so much more fun to play.

Just to chime in to new guy advice: spending your first 175 splinters on a random box is certainly a decent idea, you PROBABLY won't get fucked, but instead spending your first 200 on Taskmaster is also a very solid move. He is a terrific value at 200 splinters, and essentially lets you try out abilities from 4 other heroes.

Yea I saw, still going to be a wait but we definitely know it's coming. Glad I like a lot of other characters. Very happy with Star Lord this week and still have yet to try Rocket's re-work. But man, when Iron Fist comes I'm going all in.
Or if you have extra money, he's also a very good choice to use the BOGO to get with real money

He's on the short list for 2015, from what I know. But no real news beyond him being Pym.

looking forward to seeing how they handle Ant-man/Giant man. Also, if it was possible Yellow Jacket would be a sweet alt costume. But me would kinda need different skills though....hmmmm.

If I had to guess, it's likely we'll get a gadget tree, a shrinking tree and a growth tree. But what do I know.
