Marvel Heroes 2016 |OT3| Highway to the Danger Room

So I hit the power spike with Spider-Gwen and now I'm just trashing everything. It's great. I really enjoy the new webswinging animation.

You apparently need a lvl 60 costume core in the costume to get the full level affix rolls.
 
Same thing happened to me with Magik the other day. I felt like a dingus.
 
why don't you just press alt to see the roll ranges?

ya dingus

Seeing the roll ranges being lower than you are expecting doesn't really inform you as to why they are lower. I never knew that having a core in a costume impacted the affix roll ranges until recently.
 
Also, The only thing I bought during the 50% sale was Carnage, and last night a random official forumer gifted it to me, so I feel like a double dingus.
 
I played Storm the other day and oof time has not been kind to her. Her damage output is really abysmal. I'll take Dec's word though, Taskmaster sucks.
 
It's not really rare. You'll get one or two in midtown. The real rarities are Thing and Luke Cage and Reed. It's almost surreal.
I'm levelling Thing now. He's fun tbh

I genuinely forgot that Reed was playable too! He decent? I remember the stream with his review and he seemed fun.
 
A big part of the downer on Reed is that a lot of people dislike his character in the comics.

In game he's pretty good, not my favourite but nowhere near the worst.
 
taskmaster's new sig is ridiculous, I think hes in a great place, if a simplistic one. His specs are very cut and dry

Not more than Blade tho, and nobody rags on Blade for that
 
Is Blade good? He seems to get love on /social

Who's everyone's main? Mine is Doom but I alternate between him and Wanda.

yes hes amazing. He's just very straight forward, as stated above (like his melee spec is one way, his ranged spec is one way, and thats it, they even have mirrored spells with the same cooldowns)
 
got a crappy cap costume from my free login box. oh well!

I got taskmaster udon which I don't like, blended it with a couple of dupes and got Asgard Storm :/

At least it's something I never had
 
Udon is decent enough, I've been using it forever. That Avengers World shit is hot god damn fire though. Still hoping to get that for free if that forum giveaway I won comes through!
 
^ Random hero box I believe on NYE.

Got the purple Sue costume as my random. Pretty happy. Had been eyeing it off in the store for a while now, but was happy enough wearing the white one I got from the blender. Also that makes all 3 of her costumes I have randomed at some point. OTH I've never blended or randomed any of Spideys 57 costumes.
 
I only really like Taskmaster's default. The brand new one also looks pretty good tho. Is that even out yet?

I'm not a big fan of the default. The only one worse is that god damn atrocity that is the ultron one.

but hes got a dragon backpack

also taskmaster is straight up the lowest damaging hero in the game. maybe peoples interpretation of weakest is different, though I did mention he is survivable. His damage is so bad that nothing he has can make up for it, he does half the damage of Nova for example.
 
Damn, bet I get a hero I already have and dislike :(

Leveling via story, do I do the actual story or just teleport to certain points and defeat a boss?

Depends on how many heroes you have. If you have less than half of the roster, chances are very much in your favour of getting someone new.

Pick up quest (some of the questgivers of the main story actually reward you XP, which is why you should always pick them up), go to the nearest waypoint, dash/teleport through the respective dungeon, beat boss, warp out, hand in quest (if required) or just move on.

I've noticed that there's a significant gap if you go from Juggernaut straight to Magneto and then into Chapter 7, since there's no other boss quests, so I tend to do that one cave you get in the first area of Chapter 6.
I do recommend doing all of the ones with bosses though, except for the one with Grim Reaper in Ch 3. That one isn't worth doing imo (and also doesn't have a waypoint in or right next to the dungeon), since you likely will be ahead of levels during the first 3-4 chapters.
I definitely recommend doing at least Sauron's Cave and maybe even the Brood-infested laboratory in Chapter 7 to catch up that rather empty Chapter 6.

If you're 40+ when you get into Chapter 8, you're pretty much good to go.

Yeah, he's utter shite, which is a big shame, because I really enjoy playing him.

One day we will get our Taskmaster rework. Then I shall play nothing but Tasky.

Yeah, I like him a lot too. He was fairly new when I first started playing and one of my first purchases since he is the cheapest tier. He may have even been my first 60, but I'm not positive.
 
Got a level 80 Casket of Ancient Winters Legendary from one of those mystic scrolls. And a Captian America Novad Costume. Everything else wasn't that great.
 
Reed is awesome, but at least pre-defensive review he was a tad squishy. I haven't played him since, so that might have changed. Best animations in the game for me...death rays, giant fists, stretchy punches, and pancake whomping never grows old.

Grats on the scroll. I think only 1963 drop over the entire event

Yup, he cops a lot of hate, and you rarely see him around but I kinda like the slightly odd flow of his rotation. Grenade, foot stomp, inflate pop, back out, Freakin Lasers! Plus he can hit like a truck. His sig brutals for 4-5 mill per hit in a small area AND can be refreshed. Got me killed a few times in the trial against the Hulkbusters though. I wasn't even mad. Was like 2 heavyweight fighters standing in the pocket and just dropping bombs on each other. Someone was gunna fall. I've since come to learn invuln core medkit pop on sig is a life saver

Yeah Reeds "spam cooldowns into laser gun" gimmick is super fun. Best part of the character.
