Marvel Heroes 2016 |OT3| Highway to the Danger Room

Friday is going to be a good day. Civil war, and D3 season.

Hey is there a list of the benefits for each patrol zone? I realized High Town kinda sucks for exp but it drops uniques each time, and they all have challenge bonuses on them. Cosmic Midtown Manhattan has awesome exp, but jerks drop their trash all over the place more frequently here it seems (CMM drops Stark Cubes). I have no clue what's good about Cosmic Industry City, maybe the boxes it drops?
 
Is that really all? I'm disappointed by your lack of hype generation.

its the best Spider-Man we have had on film. Black Panther is Downey Jr. / Chris Evans levels of inspired casting. It has the best action scene in any superhero movie yet (yes, the airport scene). Ant Man is awesome. Falcon is awesome and theres a TON of Falcon. It still feels like a Cap movie even with all the insanity. Its also very personal in the grand scheme of things. What else do you want from me man? Go watch it.

Zemo is another lame villain as usual, even worse this time around because its Zemo in name only, it shares NOTHING with the comic book character.

edit: theres 2 credit scenes so dont leave after the mid credit one

I saw that thread earlier and was surprised it was still up. Discussion of datamined stuff has always been a no-no on the official forums.
 
i got rejected lol

I'm good, I have my cat. :D
 
Yeah just got back from Civil War too, it was rad. I have a couple of small misgivings but it's for sure better than Ultron (not saying much I guess). I would put it below Winter Soldier and probably above almost everything else.

Zemo was... This isn't a spoiler, I'm just going to say what he ISN'T, but just in case:
I was half-expecting him to rip off his face to reveal he's actually the Red Skull, because he's really a total nobody. But the actor playing him is good.

The Spider-Man we get feels ripped straight out of a Bendis-penned Ultimate Spider-Man. It's good. I really want to see him in his own movie because he does feel shoehorned in here ultimately. But they nail his fighting style and quipping.

Seconding what Rhaknar said about T'Challa, he's brilliant.

Part of me wishes this was a season of television because it would've been the most amazing thing ever. It's so much for one movie, it works, but it just makes me sad thinking of how amazing this could be fleshed out and serialized.
 
I have a hard time considering looking at file names, "datamining". No one is pulling up changes to the code or images/models in the files. Semantics and all, but the usage bugs me a bit.

yea my whole point is those files are on my computer, anyone can go on steam and register into the tc and download a 4.6gb patch with those files,

if its such a problem why dont they lock the tc updates with a password through steam (this is something many devs do ) instead everything is public and they whine when its leaked.

TC is up, can you report back if they have any costumes on there or anything CW related please? They usually push out content before it is accessible IG so could be that there's none of the above.

I really want a CW Spidey costume but I fear that Marvel still can't use movie Spidey things in their games :/

//EDIT: Welp looks like it's just enemy damage tuning and fixes.

The way their build branches work they can only test one patch at a time. They still need to test the damage tuning, and the Civil War event isn't part of that patch, so the earliest the Civil War patch can be tested is after the damage tuning patch is done. The damage tuning will release tomorrow, after that (possibly tomorrow night) they will be able to test Civil War stuff, if it is ready.
 
Are they tuning the damage down or trying to normalize it? I don't see the damage as being an issue now unless you are playing a true glass cannon build.

Normalize. They are unifying the enemy power tags so all types of damage from all kinds of enemies deal the same damage and can be modified across the entire game by modifying one tag.

For example energy gun enemies dealing far more damage than any other mob.

Consistent difficulty across all maps and modes is the goal. The tuning includes increasing mob damage as well. The goal is overall difficulty remains the same.
 
Any news regarding what Gaz is doing for their Civil War event yet? Any idea which team ups were getting? Figured something would have been announced or atleast been in the TC soon.

What is the name of the fan site that reports on Marvel Heroes news and stuff?

Ok this I can get on board with. I know the official forums will be divided for sure. But all those who end up saying it's bad don't understand how this will be helpful for tuning in the long run.

Even Blizzard had to do this with D3 and I may be done with that game gotta say they did a good job on that part at least. Obviously post expansion. Vanilla D3 was utter garbage.

Nothing yet. Do you mean MHBugle.com
 
What do you guys spend your wordstones on? Even 180 hours In I haven't paid attention to them at all.

Did I ask this question before? Fuck the last week has killed my brain.

The power doop enchanting recipe and doop runes. That's all I see them being good for. I have in excess of 4000 right now which I am doing nothing with unless I need a doop rune down the road.
 
most of what i found was correct whoop

Hey guys, late night update for you.

We're going to be patching tomorrow. Crossbones in Patrol Zones is unfortunately not ready this week due to some issues, so he will be coming with our larger Civil War event with the release of the film next week (I AM SO EXCITED). There is much more than that, and we'll give details on all of it next week so you can prepare.

This week we're releasing two things:

1) Enemy/Boss Retuning. As seen on Test Center, this is pretty big retuning project, but the net result shouldn't be too insane. If you see issues, tell us with as much detail as you can and we can adjust with live tuning.

2) Unreal Engine Update. This could end up causing some graphical issues, but we have yet to see anything in testing. Let us know ASAP with screenshots if you find anything. Shouldn't be anything game breaking.

In addition to that, you'll be downloading the data for multiple new zones, new bosses, and event goodness, so the patch will be quite large. Due to the nature of next week's event, we would rather give you a large patch this week so that next week can go pretty quickly and we can get you in-game faster for the festivities.

Have a good night!

P.S. I hear @AFongTwo has something to share tomorrow. Not sure what it is.
 
Ryolnir tweeted that they might be able to tell us about some CW updates today/friday so yeah...

Fingers crossed for a CW Spidey costume...

Two mystery boxes for IM and Cap.

Crossbones mask artifact and keycard artifact

Sprays for all main Civil War characters

A fragment from each location in the game combining into something?

And Crossbone gun and vest uniques.

Is there a way to find out about costumes too? I'm dying here, need to know whether they did a MCU Spidey costume or if there are still license issues regardless of the MCU deal.

I also read about there being an airport missions where you have to face off both teams, is that true?

//EDIT: GODDAMNIT... there isn't even a Spidey spray... goodbye Spidey costume dreams I guess...

I think there must be an airport fight.

There are ally and boss versions of the main cast.

90% sure no costumes yet.

Team ups are definitely Agent 13 and Cap
 
Well Ryolnir actually did say they were working on costumes for this patch.

Where did you see that? All I saw was Ryolnir teasing a possible CW announcement today (and the guy who's supposed to post said announcement is posting a lot about store related things) so it could be about costumes.

It's buried in the thread about the Monday update. But he says they have been working on a bunch of costumes.
 
ENEMY TUNING UPDATE
For this patch, we’ve made significant tuning changes game-wide to enemies and bosses across the board in an effort to improve overall balance of difficulty between different zones and challenges.

What has changed:

Individual enemy powers now fall under a more structured tuning system, similar to player Hero powers
Enemy powers that were doing too much should now do more appropriate damage, and vice-versa
All enemies and bosses outside Raid zones have been adjusted in this update
What has not changed:

Enemy and boss Health totals
The number or "density" of enemy spawns in each area
Raid zone enemies and bosses
These changes will allow us to more directly modify individual enemies to adjust overall game balance more accurately.

Please let us know what you think of the new enemy tuning on the forums!

MINOR CHANGES & BUG FIXES
Fixed an issue where Rescue’s Nanobot Stream was not working as the tooltip described. This power now correctly heals the player.

Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause an erroneous mouse click in a UI Window after clicking on something in the game world.

KNOWN ISSUES
Due to an Unreal engine update in this patch, players may need to reset their graphic settings in the Options menu after applying patch 1.11.

Supposed to get civil war infos today, I think. Hope it's cool beans.
 
Game-wide tuning tags meant to normalize damage output? Gee, when have I heard that before....
 
The "fragment" items are droppable and are linked to hidden achievements in Hightown (maybe other zones? too early) under "Road to Civil War"

What are the chances we get some more Age of X costumes, especially Gambits and Magneto? I love Rogue's costume in game and it got me thinking about this event last night. I wasnt a huge fan of it when it came out but after reading it again its starting to grow on me after finishing AoA. Did they do Rogue's around the same time as the event was coming out, I dont remember?

What costumes from Civil War are even worth getting in game that are all that different from what we already have? I could see maybe Hawkeye, SW, and maybe War Machine. They all look so similar to ones we already have though. Spidey is the only one that really warrants one imo. Maybe they will do Cap's new costume from the books? Hopefully they wont end up looking like Bernthal's Punisher this time though lol.

Btw, does anyone have a link for an example of a build for active Rescue.
 
how do you get the fragment items ? can you get them all in hightown etc ?

I guess: Black Panther, Iron Man Mk46, Wanda, Hawkeye and Ant-Man (different helmet etc).
I don't think we get a Spidey costume considering the datamine had no Spider-Man spray paint ... I guess there are still licensing issues :(
 
They moved the cultis wave in hightown above ground. Also hidden patch notes, offscreen indicators for cubes are gone.

Achievement just pops when you kill a boss sometimes. Don't know where they all are yet, I think at least 2 are in hightown.
 
I played a bit and got one in Hightown and one in ICP. Hung out in Midtown for a bit but didn't get one there, I suspect there is one though.
 
All locations:

ICP
Midtown
Hightown

Zoo one-shot
