Do they no longer do the free starter hero? Seems like I'm stuck with everything capped at level 10 and no currency to buy any. Do I have to pay real dollars to get started? I'm lost as heck.

Did they change that so you get it on your second days login?

I think I'm on my fourth day's login now. I installed the day before the big patch so I could give it a try once everything changed.

There's still poo poo characters but the entire thing has been shaken up so it's hard to tell who's a poo poo character, what's just a poo poo build that no longer works, and who just needs specific gear/INFINITY to become not poo poo.

So for new players, they need to finish the raft mission and the training room mission to receive the 400 Eternity Splinters. Once they log in for 7 days, they get 200 more!

also some heroes are getting their archetype stats changed in the next patch:

Black Panther - Fighting / Intelligence
Cable - Fighting / Energy
Jean Grey - Energy / Intelligence
Juggernaut - Durability / Strength
Kitty - Fighting / Intelligence
Psylocke - Fighting / Intelligence

That isn't too bad, assuming the 400es gift works. It's certainly better than when most of us started, and you had a small roster of mostly 200es characters with a couple 400s and you picked one from them and liked it. It means you can't start with Doom, Deadpool, Iron Man, Ghost Rider, Strange, or Rogue, but that's not the end of the world. Particularly Iron Man, since there's a More Different Iron Man that you can start with. The seven day reward gets you another rando box, which is still assuredly good for you on your seventh day. It was more generous for a while, but this could be a lot worse.

Of course, it apparently doesn't work that well, and if you started pre-patch but didn't burn your free unlock for some reason (idgi, but there are reports) you're just shafted. Because :gaz:.

Messed around for a couple hours. Ranged Taskmaster was ok but not great. Dr. Strange was a little better but I really want 2 more hotkeys on him. I'd really like to see dash/teleport/cc breaks and signatures have their own keybinding since every hero needs those 2 skills. Human Torch was amazing, love how he plays now and the variety of builds.

There is no training room mission, if you are talking about the Shield training room, that is just a place to go and beat up dummies and test your builds.

You should have a quest in your mission tracker or there should be an npc with a ! over their head in Avenger's tower to start a new one and continue with Chapter 2.

Conservation in the last tier is supposed to turn Photonic Blast into your ranged basic by removing the cost, although of course it's not working at the moment.

Even if Conservation reduced Photonic blast to 0 cost, which it doesn't currently, it doesn't Basic tag it, so half the affixes on Cosmic slot 1s don't work with it.

I agree, I can't fit Roll on Punisher without losing DPS, I can't put Teleport on Switch without losing a massive survival cooldown, and I had to basically spec a specific way on Blade to fit Roll on the board as well

There's no reason for even Sigs to not have their own keybind but :fax:

i disagree

seriously, this game was a trivial slog with zero actual difficulty for a very long time. the best characters were ALWAYS the ones who do the most damage because survivability was trivial.

i made my right click on iron fist good fortune kick despite not using either of the stances associated with it because it dashes to enemies and is on a very short cooldown, giving me more mobility and versatility. it is good design to have ways of increasing effectiveness beyond "more bigger numbers."

been enjoying the hell out of the game since i've been playing it again and a large part of that is actually having to micro in a lot of situations. i like having more expected of me than just standing near enemies and mashing my rotation over and over again regardless of what is happening around me.

so what heroes feel best under the current intermediary design, both in terms of general power and in terms of mobility? basically who transitioned the best.
