They should've just not done any animations at all, there's a sort of barely audible whisper and then fat Maggia man flies off screen. Fits the gaz MO of maximum lazy shittery, too.

I was so excited and happy to finally get a cosmic UEB just now. Then Azrael pointed out what's happening to it tomorrow. Figures I'd get it just a few hours before it becomes worse than Cargill's.

Yeah, and I don't really blame them for taking a little license considering how difficult it must be to design a character with no voice that doesn't need to gesture to use his powers for an action rpg.

Black Bolt should've been a 2000-day login reward or something. His normal powers would be signature level, his sig would hit like and ult and his ult would straight crash the instance.

Aphrodite
Jun 27, 2006

Marvel doesn't allow X-Men and related characters in video games anymore. Except Deadpool. But if they already had a contract from back when they were, it's okay. That's mostly just MH now, but Avengers Alliance on Facebook used to have X-Men. But since Marvel still needs to approve every character and costume Gaz adds, if they want to keep blocking them even with that contract they can.

They used to not even allow merchandise but they've opened up on that. There's still no X-Men stuff at Disney stores or parks or anything, but other companies have been allowed to make figures and statues and stuff.

It all applies to the Fantastic Four too. Spider-Man merchandise never went anywhere even before the Sony cooperation though because he's worth way too much to Marvel.

There were hints the new X-Men comic stuff was going to result in getting them back into games but nothing came of it so far. The actual X-Men resurgence event only starts in a couple of months so it's possible they'll tie that in.

The 'get in trouble' thing they're referencing is that when Fantastic Four came out Gaz did the lowest effort of events for it. It was like a sale and server side XP boost for the F4 cast. Marvel still got mad at them about it.

The line of thinking is if people buy the merchandise and play the video games they will see the movies. And they don't want the movies to do good. Less brand recognition the better and then they can buy the rights back to their studio and make movies(i assume).

Slot 1-5 Item Changes
With this patch we’ve updated the Common through Cosmic tier versions of slot 1-5 items to roll with new properties:
  • Slot 1 and 5 items for all heroes now roll with Damage Rating as a built-in affix, and slots 2 / 3 / 4 now roll with Health as a built-in affix. These stats do not have roll ranges - they have fixed values based on their Item Level.
  • Common (white) tier items do not roll with any additional affixes, however use the new fixed scaling based on Item Grade.
  • Uncommon (green) tier slot 1-4 items roll with a common random affix, just as before this patch. Slot 5 rolls with a proc effect from a new pool for slot 1-5 items, similar to procs on other items such as Uniques.
  • Rare (blue) tier slot 1-4 items roll with 2 common random affixes. Slot 5 items of this rarity roll with one common random affix and a proc effect.
  • Epic (purple) tier slot 1-4 items also roll with 2 common random affixes, however their roll range is higher than the Rare tier. Slot 5 Epic items roll with one stronger common affix and a proc effect.
  • Cosmic (yellow) tier slot 1, 2, and 4 items will spawn with 3 common affixes of similar quality to Epic rarity items. Slots 3 and 5 roll with a 2 common affixes of similar quality to Epic and a proc effect.

Item Grade Drop Chance
With this patch, when playing in Heroic or Cosmic difficulty, slot 1-5 items (including Uniques) will now have a chance to drop at improved Item Grades:
  • Heroic Difficulty - Slot 1-5 items have a chance to drop at Item Grade 66
  • Cosmic Difficulty - Slot 1-5 items have a chance to drop at Item Grade 66 or 69

Unique Item Changes
  • Black Panther's Wakandan Ceremonial Necklace - proc has been changed to a Fighting bonus.
  • Colossus' Bands of Cyttorak - proc has been changed from Fighting & Speed to Durability & Strength. Additionally, the Armor cost reduction has been changed to Movement Speed increase on Area Powers.
  • Sinister's Bioengineered Cuirass - Intelligence affix changed to Critical Damage Rating.
  • Octobot Controller - Intelligence affix changed to Critical Damage Rating and Summon Damage Rating.
  • Cerebra Helmet Interface - part of the Intelligence affix changed to Critical Damage Rating and Summon Damage Rating.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Supply Drop Changes
S.H.I.E.L.D. Supply Drop crates can now award some new items:
  • Specific Challenge Bonus tokens
  • Cosmic Fragments
  • Unique Medallions
  • Event-specific Items

In addition, we’ve lowered chance of receiving Ring slot items, and lowered the chance to receive Eternity Splinters but increased the number of Eternity Splinters received to 10 when they are awarded. Increased the chance to receive stacks of Relics, and Relics will now always drop in multiples of 5.

RIP Juggernaut. Elbow now only does 61% damage of what it used to. This better be an oversight (that probably won't get fixed for another few patches) because doing this deliberately is more gaz than even gaz can be.

I really don't understand the whole spirit = armor mechanic they added to iceman (previously on psylocke and emma), it does absolutely nothing. Even gearing for spirit, which would be absolutely dumb since it does nothing else, it's completely gone in one hit. It needs to multiply all spirit by 10 to even be noticeable and even then it would still be poo poo. A 900 dmg shield in cosmic anything is utterly pointless.
