Marvel Heroes 2016 |OT3| Highway to the Danger Room

Damn, was really looking forward to checking Emma out soon. How do people like her currently?

Emma is my favorite character, but her play style admittedly isnt the most fun. She relies a lot on DoT powers and her only (mental) attack that feels like is has any real impact (or "oompf") is her sig ('Kneel Before Me') - which I love.
I have never used her melee powers, but I have heard they arent very effective.
 
Would anyone mind giving me some tips/advice on how to properly get some better defense on Psylocke without loosing a lot of her damage output. There's no way I'm ready for her Cosmic trial as I'm still getting worked in some of the other late game modes like Ultron and Danger Rooms. I know Omega points are going to be the first tip but does anyone know which ones I should put my points into that will boost my defense more than just the Shield armor node.

Also which gear should I be trying to grind out for her? I already have the Pelt of the White Gorilla and she has the Power Cosmic legendary atm until I have enough for her lvl 80 Legendary. I'm using her melee mental build currently and prestiged her once to go back through the story and get any skill points and bonuses I missed the first time through.
 
Do you have a 25% HP and invuln on medkit use core?

Lol, that (much needed) American Dream delay:
We're going to hold this costume until it's had some changes. That may be quite a while, since we have ahem a lot of costumes coming up in the next few months.
 
i has Smile :D

What Frost said. I couldnt do her trial (or most of the melee characters really) without the invulnerable / medkit core. She was still one of the hardest trials imo, even if some people sware by her.
 
These All-New All-Different Marvel Heroes Gaf retcons are getting out of hand. Next Dennis Hopeless will write the Rhaknar ongoing.
 
We are targeting late summer for an Omega Event Update which will also be paired with a Holo-Sim update as the two are closely tied with each other. There isn't any time to do it sooner as we have Civil War and Anniversary events to plan between now and June.

:P
 
I'm good buds with a brit dude who's not a dick at all, but he has like a totally charmed life so I sort of fake-hate him because of how seemingly effortlessly everything in his life seems to go the way he plans.

That's not how life is supposed to work.

Is this thread about video games I forgot
 
Elektra tomorow then? Enough time to get her to 60 and get her uniques and whatnot before Dark Souls 3 consumes me for the next 2 weeks I guess
 
Updated event schedule via Reddit:

4/8 - 4/14 - Mystic Mayhem (On with patch, off with next patch)

4/14 - 4/18 - Weekend Surprise Event!

4/14 - 4/22 - A.R.M.O.R. Incursion

More info coming soon on the surprise weekend event! -Asros

Wonder what this weekend surprise event is, have they ever done anything like this without some movie coming out or tie in with a comic event?

Anyone been able to get the patch yet? Totally forgot about the +3 skill points from limbo and haven't leveled up the handful of heroes I just prestiged lol. Lots of grinding to do this week before I take a break for Dark Souls 3.
 
Anyone been able to get the patch yet?

Anyone on been able to see if Archangel was released on the store today?

oh hey patch notes

NEW HERO: ELEKTRA
Elektra has joined the Hero roster of Marvel Heroes 2016!

From a young age, Elektra Natchios trained in the martial arts well into her adulthood. But when Elektra’s father - a Greek Ambassador - was killed in a terrorist abduction gone horribly wrong, she was convinced that the law had failed her. She then traveled afar to Japan to perfect her combat skills; taking matters into her own hands. Taught by both the ancient Chaste order and the notorious Hand organization, she would later return home as an infamous assassin at the top of her game.

Being the best of the best, Elektra’s clients include a large variety of the world’s elite - from S.H.I.E.L.D. to Kingpin. Yet, she continuously crosses paths with her old college flame, Matt Murdock and his alter ego Daredevil. Elektra’s adventures have led her far, wide, and back again. But this time the price is right, and she’s here to get the job done.

COSMIC PATROLS UPDATES
Cosmic Midtown Manhattan Patrol has had a full loot review. The goal of this was to reduce clutter, increase client and server performance and give players a more rewarding experience.

Double Cosmic Loot - Many of you know that we have had Double Cosmic Loot, a specific perk of the Cosmic Chaos event, active for a while. This has now been turned off and will only return during that event. Loot tables have been adjusted accordingly to ensure that players still feel rewarded for playing the content.

Experience Orbs - Much like Cosmic Hightown Patrol, we have replaced the existing XP orbs with a smaller amount of “larger” orbs dropped by Bosses. The XP amount amount has been tuned slightly down, about 1.5 times of the original CMM XP. This allows us to continue to do Double Cosmic Loot for Cosmic Chaos without the XP gain to be unbalanced.

Higher Quality Items - Players will see far less uncommon/rare Insignias and Team-Up items from bosses. Additionally, all lower level, non Boss Artifacts have been removed from the Boss loot tables.

Cybernetics - The amount of Uncommon/Rare/Epic/Cosmic items that drop in Cosmic Midtown Manhattan Patrol has been unchanged, allowing players to continue leveling pet cybernetics as they have in the past

Danger Room Scenarios - Only Epic and Cosmic Danger Room Scenarios will drop from Bosses in Cosmic Midtown Manhattan Patrol.

Cosmic Reliquary of Rarity - Cosmic Reliquaries have been added to the shared loot table, replacing the current Epic version.

Cosmic Jackpot - Cosmic Jackpot contents have been updated with Cosmic Reliquary of Rarity.

New Rare Credit Item - There are rumors of a very special baked good that has come from the cosmos. It will fetch a very nice price to any vendor!

Events - The following events will drop the following items per boss in Cosmic Midtown

Midtown Madness - 2 Boxes (Normal Midtown will drop 1)
Cosmic Chaos - 2 Caches (Normal Midtown will drop 1)
Odin’s Bounty - 2 Boxes (Normal Midtown will drop 1)
Cosmic Industry City Patrol has had the following changes:

Experience Orbs - XP amounts have been normalized on a per-boss basis across all 3 patrols.

Odin Boosts - Adjusted how Odin Boosts work in Cosmic Industry City Patrol to increase the amount of marks given to players using the boost to be more uniform across all patrols.

Cybernetics - We have increased the amount of Uncommon/Rare/Epic/Cosmic slot 1 through 5 items that drop from Bosses that players use to level pets in order to better match Cosmic Midtown Patrol.

Cosmic Reliquary of Rarity - Cosmic Reliquaries have been added to the shared loot table, replacing the current Epic version.

Cosmic Hightown Patrol has had several changes made to bring several aspects more in line with other Cosmic Patrols.

Experience Orbs - XP amounts have been normalized on a per-boss basis across all 3 patrols. We have adjusted Boss Trios to drop the equivalent of 3 Cosmic Midtown Patrol bosses worth of XP.

Loot Drops - We have adjusted drop rates for the non Boss Specific items on Boss Trio loot tables to now account for the loot table rolling 3 times in order to grant 3 Bosses worth of XP.

Cosmic Jackpot - Cosmic Jackpots have come to Cosmic Hightown!

Odin Boosts - Adjusted how Odin Boosts work in Cosmic Industry City to increase the amount of marks given to players using the boost to be more uniform across all patrols.

Cybernetics - We have increased the amount of Uncommon/Rare/Epic/Cosmic slot 1 through 5 items that drop from Bosses that players use to level pets in order to better match Cosmic Midtown Patrol.

In addition to the reward changes above, Cosmic Hightown has received the following gameplay changes:

Cosmic Hightown Patrol has received an overall difficulty tuning pass.

Minibosses health and damage additionally reduced by roughly 33%.

NEW DANGER ROOM TOURNAMENT: SUBWAY
Our first Danger Room Tournament has arrived!

Available to level 60 players, a new vendor in the Danger Room Hub has scenarios for purchase with credits. These two scenarios have static affixes and can be purchased from the vendor as many times as you like. This tournament’s theme is based in our Subway tileset.

The Leaderboard for this Tournament tracks completion time in each of the two difficulties and ranks players by the shortest time to complete the scenario. Repeat attempts will only track your best time, so feel free to run it as many times as you like to see what your best time is! At the end of the week, rewards will be awarded based upon your best placement.

The Tournament Leaderboards will open at 12:00 PM PDT, April 8th!

ITEM & CRAFTING CHANGES
Scaling Element Drop Technology - New technology has been added that allows higher amounts of elements to drop depending on a player’s level. These elements will drop in a single stack rather than individually.

Increased Boss Item Drops - There is a new shared loot table on all end game bosses that contains all Boss-Specific artifacts and uniques. This table can drop any of these item off of any end game boss as a bonus drop! Raid Items are not in this table and will be exclusive to Raids and Crafting.

MINOR CHANGES & BUG FIXES
Implemented fixes for recent performance issues caused by an increase in CPU load in some cases. Please see the General Technical Support forum for more information.

Rogue's Venom Blast now scales properly with the Energy Attribute.

Rogue’s Fangs of Farallah and Shadow Strike now work properly with K'un-Lun Styles, Ground Phase, Cold Snap, and Demonic Barrier.

Fixed an issue with Rogue’s Health on Hit based on number of Squirrels scaling far more than intended.

Reduced the damage of all S.H.I.E.L.D. imposter minibosses in Cosmic Hightown.

Fixed an issue where the Midtown leaderboard would sometimes start earlier than anticipated.

KNOWN ISSUES
The following issues are known and will be corrected in a future update:

Elektra's signature power is not applying Mark to Elite or Boss targets as intended.

Elektra cannot mark an Elite or Boss target that another Elektra player has already applied Mark to. Any Elektra player can gain the bonus effects from a Mark applied by another player, however.

Elektra's hero-specific Unique items are not using the correct edge-pointer icon when dropped Unqiues are off-screen.

Already seeing posts on official forums that cosmic patrol loot sucks. People are really feeling the double cosmic loot finally being turned off.
 
Lvled Elektra to 60 about an hour after servers went up. Now I shelved her. Didn't do much for me. CMM loot...meh.

May have given a damn about that American dream costume, but they canned that shit.

Funny, they didn't mind releasing Frank Camel, but the Dream was just too much for them.

That ult point in the shop for 3 bucks a pop.....don't know what i think about that.

Got about 12,500 odins so I'm good on that shit. Especially with most characters I care about already having lvl 80 legs.

im Bi, most dudes where i live are complete dicks and full of shit and have no respect for anyone
Damn woman you need some of that American machismo. You are a fine looking lady. Those dumb fucks need to get their shit together.
 
lmao. Please drink a glass of water or seventeen Lordgrayskull

Did they really shitcan American Dream because it looked like shit? Not like that's ever stopped them before.
 
I REALLY like Elektra, I think she's great. Cleared cosmic trial in 1 try with ease, execute 1 shotting hulkbusters+ red skull sentinels made it simple.

Ya got me, dog. I didn't even think the model looked particularly out of place with the majority of the ones that already exist, though.
 
If you've edited the MarvelEngine.ini and set it to read only you will likely crash on launch until you disable read only. Seems like they have added or changed a line to the file.

If you hadn't set read only they have defaulted.

I like Elektra but it took me a good 10 minutes to get over the fact that she has a fucking teleport.

Especially when people have been BEGGING for Iron Fist to get a decent movement power. If they clearly don't give a fuck about any sort of internal consistency anymore, why not give everyone a TP?

Outside of that and the fact that she feels like how Psylocke should feel, I like her. I just don't give a shit about the character. If this was a Psylocke rework I'd be pretty stoked though...
 
Hows her aoe? Wasnt she lacking in the ptr, and even design wise?
 
lmao. Please drink a glass of water or seventeen Lordgrayskull
Ha, sound the kazoo. Didn't refer to myself there bro. I said American Machismo, didn't say mine. She got an American woman, maybe a American dude might be good too. Not boarding a plane myself, so chill.

Yeah she is a good looking woman. I always tell women they look good if they do.

Back on topic, American Dream should have been released and tweaked later.
 
Alternatively, it should've never sucked in the first place. Like who approved that model? Who thought it could even be deemed a final product that represents the character well?

You did? Or is that not your department?
