Reached 60 with Iceman. Ice Golems are hilarious. Let me just press this button and then chill in the corner (get it?) while I watch everything die. Total faceroll, barely had to do anything. His sig looks really sweet too. If I wanted to gear a summoner it would probably be this guy. Iron Man is next.

It's a neat concept, with some really great use of some of those characters. Everything involving teacher Pym is amazing, and there's some really great character interaction in it.
It has potential to be the second best Marvel game on the market right now.
I hate you so much
yo that new avatar is dope
It's basically The Sims or something.

Looks meh. When's Avengers Alliance 2 dropping?
Can you fuck? You can in The Sims and other dating games...
Well, that was a given.
Already soft-launched in Australia and some other regions. Worldwide official release is "soon". Sounds like they're taking all the wrong lessons from Contest of Champions, but hopefully it's less gross than that.

Oh ffs, CoC of all games? In what ways?
In being a shit game
Characters and the upgrades you need to make them viable at a higher level are obtained through crystals in the exact same way as CoC, which granted, would be fine if they were as generous with their F2P currency as Netmarble, so it could be fine, but I really doubt it.

Haha, that's me out.
Netmarble are the only ones who know how to do it.
My only regret is dropping ~$60 on CoC before I figured that shit out.

I havent brought either.
They have basically dropped david leaving under the bridge like nothing happen.
They haven't mentioned the interim ceo at all. No word if a ceo will replace dave.
Just vomited in my mouth a little, thanks for that.
Im so bored I downloaded one of those "im gonna read your mind and guess the character" apps.
It failed to guess Kaine and failed to guess Mirage (the Autobot). So...I guess I win?
When you lose the whales you know theres a problem >_>

Yup everything is half assed. Danger room is nothing like poe maps. They couldn't get the omega changes n new node out which may have got me playing more. Chapter 10 was lol finished in 20 mins. 2 years for that looool. Then end video is basically lol thanos raid. Ya know another 2 years later (cosmic ultron right lol)
The high of this game for me was when first raid came the group was very active but i think gazillion since then have just been dropping the ball since and don't really have a target of what they want. Classic dart board changes hoping something sticks

With the fullness of time I definitely agree that Danger Room was massively disappointing. I like Hightown Patrol but without a cosmic version, and the repetitive nature of the "objectives", it kind of feels super shallow.
I can't believe how badly they bungled Danger Room. Such an amazing concept, in development for so long, and literally all they had to do was look at Diablo 3 and copy them, and they still fucked it up. Also it dropped right after the defense rework which (once again) was meant to eliminate damage spikes and one shots... only to make danger room all about ridiculous damage spikes (sometimes from nearly invisible sources) and bosses with non-skillshot one-shots. This game cannot do difficulty for shit.

Mine's March 29th. Aries bro.
Danger Room was OK for a while, but it offers very little variety, and it's very clearly unbalanced. Too inefficient to do it alone, not challenging enough to justify a group. It can't work like PoE maps either because, well, it's not a hardcore game, and there's little to no requirement to think about balance.
PoE works because everything works around striking that balance, and the currency system let's you manipulate every aspect of your build and content. MH has none of that (which is not necessarily a knock on the game), instead, it encourages people to join the arms race and stack very few powerful things on everyone. It's a more casual game, more focused on character variety. I get it, but it needs to find more ways to play to its advantages like PoE or Diablo 3 do.
Itemization is also completely fudged in this with the BiS mentality and unique items have become stale by just focusing on stats and not enough unique effects. Going back to Diablo, I think that game has found a good way to make those items matter. I understand they are making items for 6 characters and not 55 so it's a different kind of problem, but more rule-changing effects would be welcome.

Or at least give me a fucking item that gives me stacks of Psionic Projection with Psylocke automatically like it does for Sweeping Wind with Monk. It really gets tiring having to hit that button every 3 fucking seconds.
I try not to be an enabler for bad or destructive behaviors.

I think Inky hit the nail on the head with itemization being a big problem. I'd honestly say that's the game's biggest weakness right now, much more so than content. Just looking at all the new items for chap 10, nothing has me excited one bit. It's more of the same. Sorry, procs like "gain X buff on melee attack, gain Y buff on ranged attack, and if both are active gain Z buff" are not interesting. We need crazy uniques that change how attacks/rotations work. We need set bonuses (i.e. equip artifact A and B to get 10 seconds off your sig cd). The fun stuff comes when the status quo gets shaken up.

Bad thing is I don't need the new chpt 10 items, I can damn near face roll all their content as it is.
The fuck is red Genosha raid? I want a challenge dammit....with a worthy award.

Yup with how they just copy paste skills from heroes now with just differebt colors they need somethibg to change it up.
Uniques or set items can do that. Have like x skill on x hero do this etc instead we get oh u do energy dmg lets give u a proc where if u do energy dmg gain x more dmg. Its like well not shit why not just make that a fucking passive skill dumbass.

This one soft-launched a long time ago here in Denmark. To my disappointment, I can't download it because it requires iOS 9.

So I tried logging into the official website, and I see I have been registered since Jun 01 2014 wow. Wow, at me having not accomplished anything but I'm about to change that. And I see I can access the store on their site too, how convenient.

What is the cheapest in-game item I can buy right now by the way? Is it those $10 heroes?
The game is definetely past its peak - sure, if someone starts playing it offers a lot of content/fun but for people like us, who spent 500+ hours in it I'm not sure it can offer anything compelling anymore.Affeinvasion

I still love this game and it really does have a cool marvel flavor. Despite it's problems I still like it for casual play quite a bit. My only complaint is that I want more villains to fight. If they had rotating villains in midtown, or if they developed villains at the same pace they developed heroes I would be very happy. The best content additions were mr. Hyde, etc. I would much rather see new super villains to fight than see villains made into heroes.
Itemization changes are not out of the question, they just have to be willing to do it. They've hinted at those (before they started bleeding staff sure, but still). There's a million ways they could do them that isn't necessarily: make 10 new items for each hero.
Although I'm not gonna lie, hero specific effects for say item sets would be sweet.

That's something that could go a really long way. Along the lines of any hero set items with really good bonuses for using more and more of the set. Make a few sets, a couple for each set of heros, X-Men, Avengers, etc., etc., have different sets for different build types. It could add a really awesome level of loot chasing. Same can for artifacts as well, get four of the same artifact equipped at once leads a large bonus to damage or defense.
The really unfortunate thing that they won't be able to do that Diablo does so well with is how the gear changes the characters appearance, and then adding that transmorfing tool on top of it.
They really need to take a while and play some Diablo 3, and PoE. Learn what makes those games gear, and game modes work so well, then try and copy it. Marvel Heroes has so much potential.
