Steam controller, yes. Others coming soon.



Very strong rumors but nothing official yet.

So I have a steam controller, I have the game installed, loaded it up, Sure enough there is a profile from Gaz on there. Set that profile, open the game.

Doesn't work.

Q.Q

Got a Storm ult upgrade from yesterday's hero box.
So where exactly do you exchange duplicate Team-Up tokens for ult upgades?

So how precisely does the "vaporize" options in the Gameplay menu work?

If I need a given tier of item for my Cosmic Pet buffs, will it apply them first/automatically, etc?

 

[Noray]

I love that lots of new people are posting in this thread

but I miss being able to complain about this game with the regulars and laughing at shitty characters like Carnage and Kain

whatever rarity it vaporizes goes toward that tier on the pet

Perfect, and is it automated or do I still need to spam my vacuum key?

 

[inky]

Perfect, and is it automated or do I still need to spam my vacuum key?

If vaporize is on it is automated. There's currently some stuff that can't be vaporized or vacuumed: rings, insignias, team up gear.

The only real difference is that you can't vacuum cosmic gear (or at least I think so, I've never been able to), so if you set your vaporize lower than that, you'd have to pick those up and donate them manually.

You can

I have it set to auto vacuum cosmic gear

I know you can auto vacuum (vaporize), I'm talking about the vacuum hotkey.

If someone else drops green or purple gear on the floor, you can run up to it, hit the key and it will vacuum it up, but you can't do it to cosmic gear, that's what I'm saying.

 

[Indignate]

I think Inky means that hitting the vacuum key won't eat cosmics, which it won't.

I think Inky clarified himself already.

 

[Yoday]

- Auto-Loot and Vaporize (under OPTIONS > GAMEPLAY) are your friends.

If you are really interested in maximizing your loot knowledge and experience I can't recommend this guys videos enough:

I only just found auto loot yesterday, and it's amazing. I don't know when they added it, but I'm glad. What does Vaporize actually do? I also found that YouTube channel the other day, and it is fantastic! He has a super deep knowledge of the systems and each character. He also presents it in a easy to digest and clear way.

Ah, didn't realize that. Didn't even know that was possible actually, might come in handy

 

[RellyRell28]

2016 comes out this month. Can't wait for the controller support. I hope that I didn't get use to keyboard and mouse too much.

 

[TetraxShards]

Put a ton of time in over the last few days, loving this game. That YouTube channel that's been recommended is tremendous, learnt a lot from that guy so far.

Got enough splinters for a random hero, got Spider-Man, pretty happy with that.

 

[Sblargh]

Is this game good?

That's a pretty good get. Very strong character, one of the few highest costing characters, and has one of the best enchanced costumes in the game if you're into that.

No, you should probably just accept my Dota invites.

Kain is cool

 

[RellyRell28]

Question. I've seen stream where the zoom is farther out then my screen can be. Is this a scree resolution thing(I'm at 1080p) or is this somewhere in the settings I can change it so I can zoom out farther?

 

[Panzon]

I've wanted to jump on this game for a long time now but since there's still no controller support I'll continue to hold off. I really suck with M/K so I gave up after the first 5 minutes of gameplay. It also didn't help hat I picked Luke Cage and later found out I couldn't switch him so I said "fuck it" and quit

Looking forward to contributing more to this thread once controller support comes around

 

[Mulgrok]

Do you think he's still mad about that one time she beat him?

Squirrel's current series has her pit against Doom in the latest issues. I am hoping it gets resolved in the next one.

 

[Frostinferno]

Carnage is cooler.

Yep, scroll down to the bottom of the first options screen for a max distance toggle.

Okay I just didn't have custom max distance checked. Thanks

 

[Bane]

I'm pretty new here so apologies if this is a well worn topic but, what characters are you hoping come out this year?

The ones that immediately spring to my mind are Kain Scarlet Spider, Carnage, and Apocalypse. I'd have loved a Jane Foster Thor but that idea's fairly dead. I'm also pretty stoked about Angela coming first so I hope I like how they build her.

 

[Indignate]

I'm astonished by the amount of people who come in here to ask about controller support.

Is this because of Diablo 3? I can't imagine playing these games on a controller. Well, I can, but it amounts to me not being able to use my abilities where I want to use them and having a shit time with inventory management.

Me I want to see Quake in this game and yes it's because of Agents of SHIELD. I hope they have that as a costume if she comes.

Controller support is coming this month with the 2016 update. It's what made me finally deciding to commit to this game.

Yea, it's really weird, and it might be the Diablo effect or just more controller focus for PC games, but a lot of people were like that since the game launched, even not just asking about it, but knocking the game for not having it like it was some innate fault. For a game genre often described as a "click-fest" and that depends so much on precision mouse control for combined moving+attacking it's really weird how often this happens. By precision I don't mean to say "hardcore" or "leet" or anything like that btw. Competitive Shooters or Strategy games require precision to a higher degree, I just mean that the idea from its conception was to make something that felt different from 8 direction or WASD character movement. Even it was more comfortable with a controller I can't see myself ever giving up mouse controls for ARPGs.

As long as people keep their expectations in check I guess. Diablo is a really different game to accommodate controller support (from mob density to radial menus, to amount of loot), even when it already had limiting decisions like only 6 active skills at a time. If they make it work it'll mean more people at least, and I'm on board with that.

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

I think another big reason for people wanting controller support is that this is the closest we may ever get to an X-Men Legends / Ultimate Alliance 3.

I've mentioned before how I used a custom controller layout, via DS4Windows, to play this from the start. I'm mostly interested in seeing how they set things up and how different it feels having direct character control.

 

[Bane]

lol.

I did find it funny those two characters were brought up right before my post, and I'm aware someone around here hates them, but they really are two of my main hopes.

 

[Slayven]

Carnage is cooler.

Only Redneck Carnage

 

[Lashley]

Controller support is one step closer to a console release, so that makes me happy

 

[Baloonatic]

I've been using a Steam controller which works great but I'm curious how the official controller support will work. If it has analogue movement with the stick then I might use it, holding down the right trigger all the time to move is taking it's toll on my hand

Just got Deadpool the Kid out of the vendor. Perfect timing for his upcoming review.

Bit the bullet on the Mega Pack. What have I done?

I really didn't like Diablo 3 on PC specifically because of the controls. I just really don't like indirect control and I'm basically tolerating it in Marvel Heroes more than anything. I'm hoping they translate the controller similar to Diablo did because it works and it made me enjoy it. Ideally I'd use the controller and kb/m alternately between character control and inventory.

 

[inky]

Yes!

Best decision of your life ;P

Died to Red Skull in the cosmic trial with my summoner Doom.

Hating life.

Kept seeing this thread get bumped so I decided to give the game another shot after not liking it much near the initial release and holy shit the game has improved leaps and bounds. I've got so many friends that would absolutely love to play this but don't like gaming on PC, so hopefully the upcoming controller support means a console version is in the works. If it's a PS4 console exclusive, then maybe it'll have cross platform play.

If it's on all consoles including NX, hopefully it'll still be cross platform for the platforms that will allow it. The more people with access to the game the better. This game taught me a ton about the marvel universe, and made me want to learn more. I even read some comics because of it, and nearly subscribed to the Marvel comic thing. House of M was pretty cool.

Oh I completely agree, but I've learned not to get my hopes up when it comes to these sorts of things.

Surely they'd have it on xbox and ps4? Seems silly to have it as a console exclusive.

Hopefully theres cross platform play, but with Gaz, I wouldn't hold much hope

Oh yeah, cross platform will not be happening. I forgot there's a patch each week, that would get pretty expensive on console, and the time it takes to certify patches would slow the PC version's patches down.

They could do the patches like they're done in smite. In that game the xbox is usually 2-3 weeks behind the pc patches. Gives them time to make sure it's good to go without slowing the pc patches down.

That would ofc mean that there would be no cross play.

Patches are free on consoles this gen though.

 

[Dec]

No way for cross platform play and it isn't for any reason but the time required for patch certification.
