Or later, later's fine.
But now would be good.

I voted honestly like a moron so I expect all my 5s to get nerfed in a hotfix and all my 1s to be marked NOBUG WONTFIX

My problem is I play all the lovely people so I only got to vote 5 once, and that was Ultron.

As far as I'm concerned: Is the character melee?

If yes: 1

The limitations on dashes really hurt melee characters to point where I find them all unplayable. Except for like, Nightcrawler, but that's because he has like 100 ways to move around.

I can't even evaluate the dash changes because my 600+ latency means that if there's an invincibility frame on the dash then it must take place paradoxically during the animation of me moving out of the way of an easily avoidable attack but also before I get rolled back halfway across the screen with most of my life missing.

so far, i have loved she hulk, x23, iron fist and blade for melee. blade is more hybrid but i played him pure melee. all three of them have at least one skill that can assist with movement in combat, if not a couple. would give all those a 5.

i've also played elektra, ant man, and silver surfer. elektra is fine but her talents are a bit wonky, the other two were boring as hell for me. give her a 3 and the other two a 1.

I play Ant-Man, Squirrel Girl, Juggernaut and Venom most. All melee, all 5s. Psyloke, Rocket, Rogue and Black Cat also get a 5. Iron Fist is also up here because Dragon stance DBZ Chi blasts everywhere still works (and is actually even better now) and is fun.

Elektra movement, purple lasers Magneto, Gambit and Iron-Man hybrid all get a 4. Loki, Taskmaster, Punisher, Ultron and Moon Knight also sit here.

Luke Cage is at a 2 because his pet spec is fundamentally broken, powers-wise (his other specs are fine though). Wolverine and Hawkeye are down here because their poo poo just isn't that fun to play right now.

Wolverine is fun and good, actually.

Like, not davebo levels of cosmicing on a fresh account good, but I took him to green 60 when I only intended to take him to green Just Finished The Raft Because His Gear Was Vendor Trash And I Wanted 1/3 Of A Random Costume For No Loss, and it was fine. He's flimsy as gently caress with low gear though.

Incidentally, the costume I eventually got with that Wolverine costume was Phoenix Force Emma, so prestiging was actually a mistake.

Yeah we did a red raid the other day and I used Wolverine. He's decent for what he's always been decent for, single target boss sorta-tanking. Which is to say I do move around a tiny bit. Honestly with teleporting being nerfed I'd go back to Wolvie as my main over Deadpool, but since Deadpool was so fast he long since overtook Wolverine for most hours played, and if I switch back now I'll never get the 1000 hours on one hero achievement :P

Trip report: melee Cable is kind of fun but he feels like he's about one attack away from being interesting enough to stick with.

The gimmick of having three different, siloed specialties doesn't work at all, because all of the Psion (ranged/mental) abilities are boring garbage filler, and there's no statistical overlap between the ranged/energy Arsenal and melee/mental Psymitar powers. In practice, it just means I waste a talent each on Psion and Arsenal crap that I never use to get that amazing +25% to everything talent.

This might be less of an issue at the far end of gearing, where damage types are de-emphasized in favor of CDR/BDR and attributes, but I don't think I care about Cable that much.

It's an interesting change from JG, who always felt like she had one too many powers I wanted to use.

Server connection issue, apparently. O-forums says you can wait the black screen out for a minute, then log in.

Edit: Yep, timed it at 50 seconds then I'm in.

Would you guys recommend blending the default costumes for each character seeing as the costume has no stats now?

Or is that something I will regret later on?

the only way you'd regret it is if the wardrobe thing comes out and they require you to have the default costume to access it and you already got the character to cosmic prestige (or red and you never want to go cosmic)

A couple dudes got costume changes. Make sure the default costume you are blending isn't different from their base look.

If the TTK community can stop calling this test temporary until MH settles down and I'm still playing by then, I'll turn it into a detailed spreadsheet once again.

Bug Fixes:

Colossus damage resistance from Armor changed to 60%, because I guess when we tested 80% and decided on 80% then wrote 80% on the tooltip it was never supposed to be 80%

Uniques and other items in Midtown Patrol no longer drop at level 57 for level 60 heroes. Technically this is just a bug move since all we did was move it into Cosmic Terminals. By July we hope to have knocked it into X-Defense where nobody will ever notice it.

Fighting probably wins out as it's slightly more crit damage as opposed to deflect chance but there's really not much in it. If you currently have all fighting I see no reason to switch any to strength.

Fighting is still marginally better. Don't bother changing either way; except for Durability and Intelligence, the bonuses are fairly minor.
