They call it the Nintendo Scarlet Witch because it's the end of all things including mutants. And people. And the world.

That sure is a lot of white noise and not the event schedule.

Mar. 2-9 - Cosmic Chaos and Old Man Logan. XP boosts with bigger boosts for cosmic prestige and/or Wolverine/X-23. Cosmic stones for Doop runes or Power Cosmic legendaries.

Mar. 9-16 - ARMOR again. ARMOR drives for +1000 def catalysts. They haven't yet said anything about level 66/69 armored catalysts yet AFAIK

Mar. 16-23 - St. Patrick's Day and Iron Fist, details to come.

Mar. 23-30 - Odin's Bounty, looks like it may be getting some sort of revamp. No details yet.

Mar 30-Apr. 5 - Finally Omega is back, and it's also getting unspecified revamps.

Apparently Kitty Pryde and Luke Cage are going to be receiving some love soonish according to MichaelMayhem. Luke's update will be "focused around making his Combo system more fluid via faster, more reliable Finishers, increasing his mobility, emphasizing his Heroes for Hire as true-to-life companions, and creating more defined builds in his talents," he says.

For some reason I thought that the SHIELD vs Hydra event was this week. Considering that event has items specifically for the BUE, why the gently caress hasn't it come back since the BUE?

  • Q: Is the Agents of Shield event ever coming back? I read that it is the only way to get the Shield Agent Medallion.
  • Asros: Yes. It will be a part of the new Operation Omega.

  • Q: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN WE PLEASE GET CIVIL WAR BACK!!!!!
  • Asros: The Civil War event wont be returning in the same way we did the past 2 times. We are working on adding Bazaar, Cap Airport and Iron Man Airport as terminals, with each airport terminal having a chance to drop their respective artifacts. Including Cosmic versions.

  • Q: what about cosmic versions of Danger Room artifacts?
  • Asros: Just got built today. In soon.

March Schedule

3/2 - 3/9: Cosmic Chaos/Old Man Logan - Wolverine and X-23 will enjoy an additional 50% XP bonus!

One time at my work a guy was rejected after his interview but he came into work the next day anyway(this was before the era of card reader locks and ID badges everywhere). He just acted like he belonged there and introduced himself to people as a new hire until his interviewer ran into him a week later and was like "What the hell is that guy doing here? I never hired him". At that point my boss wanted to call the cops on him for trespassing but corporate was afraid he would sue us for a labor violation since he was doing "work" but we weren't paying him. I thought that sounded ridiculous but they had him fill out a W4 and made him a real employee until a month later when he disappeared as mysteriously as he came.

It was janky, survivability and overall damage went way down, and a few previously-okay characters ate serious nerfs. That plus the fact that MH is really showing its age is a recipe for bad reviews.

Turns out the masses don't know poo poo about games and hate change violently.

The update cut a lot of system cruft and streamlined the game. It's about the best they can do since they can't rewrite the aging engine. However, it is incomplete, but they've been adding iterative changes weekly, so it's still improving.

I think the biggest part was it was a huge change to try and onboard some new players, so all the crusty old grognards who've been playing since release got predictably angry about change even if for the most part it was positive and inevitable. That the changes were also half assed so that the stick was always implemented before the carrot didn't help reassure anybody that the game was being improved.

- Punisher - gets things he needs really late so it's a bit of a pain, but I eagerly await my P3 invitation

Also ICR's now #50 in the overally levelling rankings so I think he needs a new avatar since that's shameful.

So all these changes sound great and all, but the real thing that will decide if i want to play again is.. did they make inventory bloat at all more tolerable? I just remember having like six bank tabs full of various crap too valuable to throw away, and as such never had any room to actually pick anything up. Piles of random crafting material crap, and various unique items and artifacts and whatnot that are all just rare enough that if i throw them away i might not have them if i want them on some alt in the future.

Yeah, they're both fairly average, but Laura's bleed and movement builds are both a little stronger than Logan's, and her movement is just way more fun.

Logan, on the other hand, barely changes his build across his leveling experience. When I took him green to red a couple days back, I literally didn't change his power setup the whole time, and just waited while some of the icons were grayed out. At the current Server+Synergy bonus, that usually meant around Shocker, which isn't exactly a huge investment. The build I ended up preferring for X does not work this way (no basic, but good luck playing her before 56 like that).

So obviously, I chose to cosmic X-23, who won't play right until nearly the end.

So in this post-BUE world, what's the best setup for pets? I'm pretty sure that the Unique bonus should be +3 to one of a character's 2 stats, but what about Green, Blue, Purple, and Yellow?

That sounds like it would pair well with either the talent Blade Trance (which makes Disembowel and Rip To Shreds restore a charge of her sig while in the Killer Trance portion of it), or Footwork (makes Cyclone Kick and Open The Jugular restore a charge)...
